I hope your week's begun well; the rain in Houston's finally stopped and the flood waters have drained away. I couldn't get to the airport last week because of the flooding -- I ended out heading west to fly out of San Antonio instead!
Had a revelation about gas mileage during the trip. I typically drive my truck -- which doesn't get great gas mileage. I decided to start driving my son's four cylinder Ford Focus instead; I figured I'd get much better gas mileage. When I checked after the first couple of tanks, I found out I was only getting about 17 miles per gallon -- that's not much better than my truck!
I have a bad habit of driving very hard -- the Focus is a stick shift and has a peppy engine. I don't really drive much faster than the speed limit -- but I get up there very quickly. I decided I'd try driving a little more restrained and see what kind of difference it might make.
So ... instead of flooring it and winding the gears out, I accelerate very slowly instead. I still drive at about the same speeds, I just get to that top speed much slower than I used to.
The result -- gas mileage jumped up to better than 27 miles per gallon! That really surprised me -- and I find that I'm now a convert to driving a little less peppy and a little more restrained!
How about some quick words from my sponsors, then on to the reading! I'm very grateful whenever you give them a click and check them out (it keeps this free reading going!)

We'll again pull two cards -- the first suggests something we should focus on for the week. The second suggests things we might consider in order to fully benefit from the attributes of the first card.
The cards are:
Four of Cups (Reversed)
Queen of Wands (Reversed)
With two reversals, we're likely looking at some sort of blockage -- we're unable to enjoy some benefit until we clear away whatever may be hindering us from realizing the positive message of the draw.
The Four of Cups is not an active card. It suggests a fairly enjoyable position -- of being able to enjoy certain blessings. However, it also suggests that we're unable to do so; if anything, the message could be not appreciating the things you do have. If we fixate on a desire to attain more and more -- we'll never be able to enjoy what we have already achieved. In extreme cases, this unsatisfied yearning can lead us to give up! We may become lethargic and uninterested in the abilities and assets available to us.
Our second card can help us break free of this sort of feeling. The Queen of Wands is an enthusiastic card -- the complete opposite of the Four of Cups. The reason this queen is enthusiastic is because she is confident -- she has been in this sort of position before and she knows she can find her way to the top. She is realistic -- while she accepts challenges, she does not set unrealistic and unattainable goals. By keeping the goals real, she knows she can succeed. She can help us break free of the unrealistic Four of Cups -- and help us enjoy the positions we've already attained.
To break out of the reversals -- just listen a little more to your Queen of Wands side and less to our Four of Cups. The Four of Cups suggests "Why bother, it's too much trouble"; the Queen of Wands says "This will be fun -- I can't wait to start!" Pick something you can reach -- and reach for it!
And that's about it this week; I look forward to seeing you again next week. As always, if you're interested in a private reading, please try my sponsors above or my list of readers at http://www.woodsongtarot.com/readers.html . I also welcome your comments at http://woodsongtarot.blogspot.com !

Break Out
I hope your week's been going well -- I'm up in Pennsyvania right now, but am heading back to Houston in a few hours.
I'm actually in Bethlehem, PA -- it's been a while since I've been driving through the rural areas of Pennsylvania; I had forgotten how ... well, how "sylvan" it is! Really pretty!
The big news up here is Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle accident. I confess that I also rode motorcycles when I was younger -- and didn't wear a helmet either. Didn't do it too long, though -- I never got in a wreck, but I soon realized how risky it was. If there weren't any cars and trucks on the road, then maybe it might be different -- but the reality is that motorcycles are in the minority, they're really hard to see (if you're driving a car or a truck), too many motorcyclists take dumb risks, and a motorcycle will ALWAYS lose in a crash between a motorcycle and pretty much anything else.
Was driving along in the right hand lane yesterday; saw a restaurant coming up on my right, turned on my blinker, and began turning. As I glanced in my rear-view mirror, I saw a motorcycle coming up fast behind me and veering to pass me on the right (where there was no lane, not even a shoulder). I figured, "Well, I guess we'll find out how good his brakes are!"
He didn't hit me -- he was able to stop (and beep his little horn and give me a one-finger salute); but I suppose if he keeps riding his bike that way it's just a matter of time before his rashness catches up with him. That's called "evolution"!
How about some quick words from my sponsors, then on to the reading! I'm very grateful whenever you give them a click and check them out (it keeps this free reading going!)

We'll again pull two cards -- the first suggests something we should focus on for the week. The second suggests things we might consider in order to fully benefit from the attributes of the first card.
The cards are:
Four of Pentacles (Reversed)
Knight of Swords
We've seen the Four of Pentacles several times in the last year. It basically suggests times when you're fencing yourself in -- perhaps because you're feeling insecure, or perhaps because you may be trying to limit things so you can control them. This in itself isn't necessarily bad -- but it can be damaging if you do it to excess. When you fence yourself in, the world can pass you by. The reversal suggests you might take a harder look to see if this situation might exist.
The Knight of Swords suggests a solution -- take a risk! Not take a dumb risk like my motorcycle driver -- but reach out into a new area and try something that might not be a "sure" thing. Never risk more than you can afford to lose (either monetarily, physically, or emotionally), but this extra spice can help you push through any walls you may have erected around you. Even if your risk fails, the act itself and the experiences gained normally make it worthwhile.
And that's about it this week; I look forward to seeing you again next week. As always, if you're interested in a private reading, please try my sponsors above or my list of readers at http://www.woodsongtarot.com/readers.html . I also welcome your comments at http://woodsongtarot.blogspot.com !
