Confidence means you KNOW you can!

Hope your week's begun well; we just got back from Louisiana last night. My mother-in-law passed away last week -- she was 87, lived a wonderful life, and was loved by everyone who knew her.

She was a member of the "Greatest Generation". She grew up on a farm in the middle of the Depression, won an academic scholarship to LSU (her picture in the yearbook was right next to Hubert Humphrey's), worked, married, managed a business, raised five kids, and was the information center of a massive family and extended family. We didn't need to Google anyone in the family to find out was going on with anyone -- we'd just call her!

I don't wear black that much; I had to run and buy some black clothes for the funeral. The sales clerk was from Nigeria; she said in her culture people wear white to funerals. Rather than concentrate on mourning for the passing, they try more to celebrate the life the person had lived. I like that approach!

Getting back into regular life now -- just shipped off my American Idol pool picks this morning. This is a tough group; there are six people who I think could easily win it!

How about some quick words from my sponsors, then on to the reading!

------------------------

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:

Ace of Swords

Queen of Wands

If you've been receiving these readings for a while, you know that I always consider an Ace to be a little special. I look at the Ace of Swords as suggesting something like a new attitude, a new approach to problems, or perhaps a new scholarly pursuit. It could also mean the end of a troubling mental conflict -- perhaps accepting something that's been vexing you and moving on. Since Swords are the suit of intellect and reason, it could suggest resolving hanging issues. This means being fair, impartial, and honest in your evaluations.

The Queen of Wands is a good assistant for this Ace; this Queen is confident and is ready to accept new challenges or changes. This confident is real -- the Queen knows from past experience that she will prevail. If you potential changes suggested by the Ace of Swords, the Queen can offer you the knowledge that you can be successful. This can be a great source of comfort in challenging situations!

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 !

Hidden Opportunity!

Hope your week's been going well; just got back from vacation last night! I've got about a zillion things to do today -- answering emails, running errands, doctor's visit, etc -- shouldn't vacations come in pairs? One to relax, then another to rest after you do all the catchup work that piled up while you were relaxing!

Toronto was wonderful -- not too cold and it only rained one day. I'm still trying to decide if I liked "Lord of the Rings -- The Musical" or not. The set design was incredible; most of the songs and the one dance number were enjoyable. The way they portrayed the Balrog was incredible -- way better than the movie!

An understudy played Aragorn and he kept forgetting or messing up his lines -- but that wasn't too distracting. The only knock is an expected one -- it's really tough to do an epic travelling story on a small stage. They did about as good a job as could be expected.

I was pleased to see they kept the book's ending -- which was missing from the book. Unfortunatly, they decided to do a "peace" message. No problem with peaceful endings -- when they're appropriate. However, when the Hobbits are facing Sharkey (Saruman) after he's taken over the Shire and he says "What are you Hobbits going to do about it?!", the book had it right -- the Hobbits fought (because they had learned during their journeys that appeasement doesn't always work -- remember, this story was conceived and written after the failed appeasement policies of the British towards Adolph Hitler). The play did a "Why don't we just be friends instead?" that was completely unbelievable and ruined the whole point of the story -- the Hobbits DID learn and change because of their travils. Saying "Why don't we just be friends" is what they would have said before the adventure -- not after the adventure. Rather than coming from the book, "The Lord of the Rings", the ending was what you might expect from "Barney the Dinosaur"!

So -- a politically correct, but unsatisfying, ending. Still, at least they replaced the ending the movie left out.

Niagra Falls was fun -- no crowd at all since we were off-season. I had always pictured the Falls as being at the end of an escarpement. I didn't realize that's how the falls began thousands or millions of years ago -- but that they've since eroded and created a many miles long gorge! So -- you have the top of the escarpement, a river flowing across it, the falls when the river empties into a gorge, then many miles of river bottom gorge, and then you finally come to the end of the escarpement.

How about some quick words from my sponsors, then on to the reading!

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:

The Moon (Reversed)

Ten of Pentacles

The Moon is one of those cards who's meanings can be intuited from the real thing. Look at things under the moonlight -- and they'll look very different than they do during daylight. Thus, The Moon might suggest that things may not really be as they appear -- or it could suggest that it's very difficult to figure out what the true picture is. I generally see the Moon as suggesting a confusing situation -- one that's difficult to evaluate, one that's full of things that might be misinterpreted.

Reversals usually suggest some type of distortion -- but in this case I think it represents a warning. We should be wary of misinterpreting a confusing situation. We may be tempted to key on certain facts that seem significant at first, but really keep us from seeing the true matter.

I see our second card -- The Ten of Pentacles -- as suggesting the reward awaiting us IF we can avoid the misleading temptations of the reversed Moon in order to see the true opportunity. Isn't there a saying that's something like "Look for opporunity in adversity". We may find ourselves facing a confusing and Moon-like situation, but if we work our way through to see the key matters underneath, we may find opportunities that will benefit us!

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 !

Remember Less Fortunate

Hope your week's been going well; I'm sorry I missed the reading last week -- this has been a really hectic couple of weeks for me! I've been spending a lot of time in the hospital; my mother-in-law had a stroke a few weeks back. She has five kids; two live close to her in Louisiana, the other three are scattered in nearby states. They did most of the sitting the first two weeks; my work situation is a little more portable than theirs (I mainly need a phone, an internet connection, and an airport) so I've been doing hospital duty the last week.

To top it off, I broke my foot about the same time all this stuff started. With everything going on, I wasn't able to get to a doctor's till the start of this week -- but I'm leaving on vacation (Toronto!) on Friday, so probably won't be able to get the foot cast done till next week!

All of this has put a serious crimp in my schedule, but I'm hoping to get back to normal (or at least, what passes for normal around here!) pretty soon.

How about some quick words from my sponsors, then on to the reading.

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:

The World

Six of Pentacles (Reversed)

This reading will be a little briefer than usual -- I've finally found a wifi hotspot, but I can't stay here very long (got to get back to hospital!).

When I see the World, I think of success -- perhaps successfully completing a task, perhaps a day when things seem to go just right, perhaps sucessfully overcoming something difficult. Success comes in many sizes -- there are big ones ... and there are little successes -- but they're all sweet and you should enjoy them when they occur.

The Six of Pentacles can be read a couple of different ways -- what I'm getting with the reversal (and with the first card being The World) is a reminder that when we do achieve success, we should also remember those who may be less fortunate. Perhaps we were one of that group not too long ago! Enjoy your sucess, but maybe not in a manner so as to make others feel diminished. It's nice when we're on the winning side, but remember those who haven't quite made it yet (and who will one day!)

And that's this quick reading -- I've got to run, but I hope to be back next week with a more normal reading!
