Thoughts from My Perspective has moved. I have moved my blog to In My Mind's Eye.

I haven't decided where I will be moving the pet portion of this site, but the Gerbilry portion of this site has already been moved.

What I have decided to focus on with this site is my Tarot readings. I have done a lot of reading and research over the last 20 years on several different decks and perspectives on the Tarot and interpretations of the cards. My readings take these different perspectives into consideration. This means the reading may take a little longer, but the outcome is a richer vision of what the cards have to share. I don't do astrology readings or numerology readings, so I have links to a site that provides them. I will occasionally do I-Ching, but I don't feel comfortable doing I-Ching for others, so I also suggest Tarot.com for those who are interested in I-Ching. The links to the left will take you to the right portion of their site.

If you are interested in having a Tarot reading, please take a look at the spreads I am offering. Each has its own use and place. I don't ask for your full name and I don't require that you tell me what question you want answered. You may of course give me this information if you want to, but I will tell you all of what the cards tell me. Sometimes they have a message to give that doesn't strictly relate to your query, and sometimes it is more important than your query, so I never try to narrow my response to just one thing.

3-Card: The quickest spread is the 3-card spread. This gives you a past, present, future card. This spread is a quick spread for getting a good daily bearing on what is going on for you currently. This spread is $1.00.

Snake: Another spread that I find useful is the "snake" spread. It is a 5 card spread. It gives a beginning, a baggage card (what you carry), a center card, a motivation card, and what you leave behind. This spread is a more detailed version of the 3 card in that is gives some reason behind the cards and not just the basics. This spread is $3.00

Daily Reflections: Another 5 card spread is the Daily Reflections spread. This spread focuses on today. It talks about a current situation, a challenges or opportunity today, advice for today, a lesson, and a glimpse into the near future. This spread is $3.00.

The traditional "Celtic Cross" spread is a much more detailed spread and takes longer to decipher. The Celtic has eleven cards. There is a card for the querent called the significator (some readers don't use a significator card in this spread). This gives some insight into the person who is asking for the reading. There is a cover card which refers to the present situation. A crossing card that indicates the current challenge or opportunity. A crowning card - which is a development in the near furture, a goal, progress. A foundation card - like past influences, something that has influenced the current situation. The card behind or near past - the is from where you come. It *may * be past or it may be be something through which you are just coming. It sort of depends on how it fits with the rest of the cards. The next card gives what is before - the near future, what is just coming into being. Then we move into the last four. Card 8 - You, yourself - how you see yourself, what you bring to the equation that could influence this particular situation. Card 9 What strengthens you - this is often an environmental card, you it may show family or friends. Card 10, the hopes and fears, sometimes expectations. Card 11 - What will come - also called the outcome card. This card hints at the result of the situation. This card is the one that causes the most confusion. I have had people come back to me and say that my reading was wrong because the outcome card didn't happen. "I didn't lose my job!" Well, yeah. The reason they didn't lose their job because the reading gave them insight into what was going on and they were able to change their actions, their performance, etc, so that the reason they would have lost their job wasn't there anymore. So, was my reading bad, no. It was good. It "prevented" in a way the negative outcome by giving them the insight to change when perhaps they wouldn't have known to change otherwise. This reading is $7.

The lawyers out there require that I say that Tarot readings are for entertainment purposes only and that you should not be consulting me for legal or medical reasons, and instead should seek the advice of qualified lawyers or doctors for that kind of stuff. And, you probably should. I am not a lawyer; I am not a doctor. I am just someone who is willing to share what I get from the cards. I believe that the insight I get comes from a higher positive power (you may call that power God, the Goddess, Yahweh, Allah, I am not going to argue over names and semantics.)
