The Tarot Is A Mystical Bridge To Spiritual Insight
Mysterious, symbolic and highly energetic, the Tarot is a high vibrational tool that can help us explore the deeper meaning behind the events of our daily lives, and the influence of Spirit in our earthly existence.
The Tarot especially offers guidance in situations where may feel lost or confused, and it serves as a mystical bridge between our physical reality and the metaphysical realm.
The cards have their own energy, a high vibrational frequency, which Spirit uses to communicate messages of guidance, encouragement, insight and caution.
Every Tarot reader has their own set of spiritual gifts and psychic abilities, and therefore we tend to each develop our own reading style accordingly.
In my own readings, I find that Spirit most often seeks to illuminate areas in our lives where changes and healing may be needed, in order to bring about the most beneficial future outcomes. This can be anything from the need to shift one’s perspective, to the need to let go, or sometimes the need to simply accept things as they are.
Ultimately, I find Spirit uses the Tarot to get us ‘unstuck,’ so we get back in the flow. When we are in the flow, or in alignment, we are creating with the Universe, instead of creating resistance. Only then are we truly moving toward our highest good and the fulfillment of our greatest potential.
The Tarot is a conduit for communication with our guides and our higher self, through which we can gain a deeper understanding of the soul lessons and the magic happening in our lives.
Tarot Forecast May 2025: Four Of Swords
The Four of Swords forecasts a month of rest and recovery, reflection, and renewal. After the dynamics and challenges of the past few months, this card signals a turning point. It invites us to step back from the demands of the outside world and return to the sanctuary within.
This month is not a time for striving or pushing. Instead, we are invited to honor the vital need to recharge – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It is a month to slow down without guilt and to pause, not out of fear or avoidance, but out of reverence for the recovery process.
There is a silent power to this card’s energy of inner work and self-reflection. The universe offers a moment of stillness, a quiet space this month where we can recalibrate, gather our strength, and reconnect with what truly matters.
In this sanctuary of slowness, we can sort through our thoughts, release lingering tension, and make room for new clarity to emerge. It reminds us that slowing down is not stagnation, but a form of sacred progress.
The Four of Swords traditionally depicts a knight or pilgrim in a state of deep rest or meditation, lying on a slab of stone in what appears to be a tomb. This image is derived from medieval effigies — sculptures of knights carved into their final resting places, hands clasped in prayer, as if caught in an eternal moment of devotion and repose.
This imagery is rich in symbolism. It suggests a necessary retreat after hardship, a period of peace and quiet before the next phase of action. The surrounding stillness, lack of movement, and prayerful posture of the resting figure suggest a sacred inner space where healing, recovery, and clarity can occur.
Feeding The ‘Good Wolf’ Changes Everything!
Since childhood, I have been fascinated by parables, folk tales and fables. I realized at a young age that there is something truly inspiring about a story that not only entertains, but carries a deeper message or spiritual lesson and speaks directly to the heart.
This love of meaningful stories hasn’t diminished over time. I still find myself drawn to stories that offer wisdom, healing, and perspective.
A few years ago, I came across a beautiful Cherokee story — one that spoke volumes to me and offers guidance to many of us as we navigate the emotional terrain of modern life.
The story goes that a young Cherokee boy found himself in a dispute with a friend. The boy felt that his friend had treated him unfairly. Hurt, and burning with anger, he stormed off to find his grandfather, a revered elder of their tribe who was known for his wisdom.
Sitting with his wise grandfather, the boy poured out his frustration, sharing the injustice he felt and the fire of anger that burned within him.
The old man listened patiently, his eyes pensve and kind. Then, with a nod, he spoke:
“I too have felt great anger at those who have taken from me what was not theirs or who have treated me unjustly. But anger wears on the soul like fire on dry grass. It consumes you if you are not careful.”
He paused, then continued, “You see, it is as if two wolves are fighting within me. One is full of anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. This is the evil wolf. He lashes out, trusts no one, and isolates himself from the world.”
When Communication Breaks Down In A Relationship
So often callers ask me why they have trouble communicating with their partner or spouse. There’s often some kind of miscommunication going on in many people’s relationships these days.
And these misunderstandings quickly snowball into something bigger if they’re not addressed early on.
When someone contacts me for a reading with this kind of question, I go in and do the work to get to the root of the problem. Superficial answers are never good enough when it comes to the people we love and care about.
Because let’s face it, love and relationships are vital to our happiness and sense of belonging, but they are rarely easy and straightforward. They are worth the effort when the connection is real.
The first thing I always check with this kind of reading is if there’s any infidelity or dishonesty. It’s uncomfortable and dangerous territory, but we always have to rule it out because it’s so common these days.
If one person isn’t being honest or cheating, it throws everything else off balance. There’s no point in doing deep relationship recovery and healing work if the foundation of trust and integrity is crumbling.
Once that’s clear, I tune in to see if there is what I call a “love cord” connection between the couple. This is my way of checking to see if their souls are karmically connected.
How A Psychic Reading Can Improve Your Relationships
The desire for meaningful, lasting relationships is one of the most enduring aspects of our daily lives. As naturally social beings, our human brains are wired for love, connection, and belonging — a fact that scientific research continues to confirm. These connections shape not only how we interact with others, but also how we see ourselves and the world around us.
Whether it is romance, family, friendship, or the workplace, deep and harmonious relationships provide us emotional security, fulfillment, and a profound sense of being seen and understood.
But cultivating and maintaining these bonds isn’t always easy. Relationship dynamics can become complicated, especially when communication falters or misunderstandings arise.
This is where psychic readings can provide meaningful support. Far from mere fortune-telling, a true psychic reading acts as a mirror to the soul — illuminating hidden influences, undercurrents, and karmic patterns that shape how we connect with others.
When approached with sincerity and openness, the insights offered by a skilled psychic consultant can spark profound self-awareness, foster empathy, and initiate deep personal growth. These are the foundations for stronger, more conscious and compassionate relationships.
Communication breakdowns, trust issues, emotional confusion, or uncertainty about a partner’s intentions are just some of the reasons people turn to our gifted team of psychics and mediums. They often seek not just answers, but understanding, healing and clarity on a soul level.
The Power Of Knowing Your ‘Why’
In a recent spiritual counseling session, I had the privilege of working with a woman who was facing a profound life challenge — stage 2 locally advanced colon cancer.
She spoke with a quiet resilience as she recounted her journey through chemotherapy before surgery, followed by four additional rounds of adjuvant chemotherapy.
There was little emotion in her words, but the weight of her experience was undeniable. It was a story of survival, perseverance, and the sheer will to move forward.
She then admitted that she longed to live a healthier lifestyle, but struggled with unhealthy eating habits. She had gained a significant amount of weight after her surgery, and despite her best intentions, she found it difficult to resist sweets and processed foods.
After hearing her story, I gently reminded her that I could not give her medical advice. Nor am I a nutritionist, and I advised her that professional guidance was essential for her dietary needs.
What I could offer, however, was a way to break the cycle of unhealthy habits. And I could help nurture her mind and emotions and guide her toward a life of greater wholeness and balance.
She lit up with hope. “That would be wonderful!” she exclaimed.
When Love Feels Right, But The Timing Is Wrong
Timing in relationships is one of those things that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves, but it plays a huge role in whether a relationship thrives, struggles, or falls apart completely.
Timing isn’t just about when you meet someone – it’s about where you are in life and what you’re ready for, both personally and spiritually, and whether the circumstances around you support the growth of the relationship.
Maybe you’ve met someone at a certain time in your life and thought, “Wow, this is perfect. This is exactly who I need in my life right now.”
Then you move forward, determined to make it work.
But somehow life gets in the way – distance, responsibilities, personal growth, outside pressures, trauma wounds, or unresolved karmic debt – and suddenly what seemed so perfect turns into something stressful, confusing, or even painful. You wonder what went wrong because in your heart you believed it was right.
Or maybe you’ve been on the other side. Someone comes into your life and they’re ready for more than you are. Maybe you love them, but something inside you says, “Not yet. I need more time.”
But they are insistent, determined to make it work, and you go along, unsure but hopeful. And then it all blows up – because deep down you weren’t really ready and they didn’t want to wait.
