"A sudden, usually unforeseen, disruption or major change is happening or is about to take place. Even if it appears to be a negative experience, it can lead to enlightenment or a total shift in your lifestyle. In traditional tarot meanings, this card represents the "falling tower" that eventually crumbles due to its weak foundation. Whichever part of your life you focus on, this is an opportunity to rebuild with a solid, positive structure to make you or the situation even stronger.

There are times when the most difficult situations arise in your life. If you choose to, they can act as a catalyst to heal other areas. They're beneficial because they're truly your greatest teachers. Learn from past mistakes, accept them, and integrate them into your life as stepping-stones.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed. This Disruption Card is a reminder that negative thinking, limiting beliefs, ignoring problematic situations, and risky or careless lifestyles must be addressed so that positive changes can take place. Life has a habit of moving you forward whether you're ready or not. Transformation of body, mind, and soul can happen if you view this dramatic time or change as an opportunity for growth. In the future, you may look back and be thankful for this opportunity.

The Wildwood once covered most of Northern Europe. It was a fabulously lush and mysterious place, full of life and rich in secrets. Unless you were sure of your path, it was an easy place to lose your way...
In the Spread: The temptation to give in to your instincts and impulses is very strong right now. You crave excitement, the unusual and exhilarating: you yearn to be taken out of yourself for a while. Indulge your primitive side -- but make sure you have a safe route home. Be wary of strangers, and familiarize yourself with the dangers of the path you wish to follow. It may detract from the spontaneity, but even the most courageous hunter never enters the forest without being forearmed!"

"Key words: Release, heal, assistance, hope

The energies around you now are guiding you toward a better place concerning dealings of the heart. These energies bring new information, new ideas, and new people to you. They will assist you in evaluating your current situation and help you improve it. Even good situations can be made better. What are your hopes and dreams around relationships? Be comforted that you're being moved in their direction now.

This is a time of healing, a time to let go of past issues and move steadily forward. Better times are just around the corner. The 'letting go" may include difficult relationships, the need to control, the fear of being alone, or anything else that's causing stress and unhappiness. By releasing them you free yourself to embrace the supportive energy around you. Allow it to carry you onward and let the healing begin."

"One of the laws of the Universe is: What you sow, you reap. This card states that this is your time to reap the harvest you've worked for and so rightly deserve. This last Physical Card denotes self-mastery, self-sufficiency, independence, security, and the art of enjoying what you've strived for. You've done the hard work, learned the lessons along the way, and used them to prosper in all areas of your life. 

The number 9 also means endings -- not that good fortune necessarily stops, but do honor yourself as you finish up or celebrate the completion of projects. This would be the perfect time to look ahead and use the wisdom you've gained to think about what else you want to achieve. consider smart investments, and ponder ideas that show profitable potential. Congratulations on your success -- you've earned it!"

The Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head and has been called "The Thousand-Petaled Lotus" or "The Receiver of Light." This chakra is the center of your link with the Universe, the infinite, and your higher consciousness -- it's the connection between wisdom and spiritual insight. The crown center is the area where ethereal light and energy are received and then dispersed throughout your aura for total well-being.

To balance this chakra, I find that meditation, breath work, yoga, spiritual healing, acupuncture, and color therapy work best. When properly aligned, your Crown Chakra will expand to a point where it's possible to access and tap into the deepest sources of wisdom."

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. This card illustrates that there's a spiritual teacher who's about to influence you or step into your life to impart his or her wisdom. Look around -- is there someone in your life who has the acumen, education, knowledge, and ability to integrate spirituality and its laws into the constraints of the physical world? This could be a compassionate person who offers guidance and inspiration, and reminds you that you're so much more than a physical being -- you're also a spiritual being with unlimited potential.

You may have also drawn this card to confirm that it's time to reach out and find an organization or group of like-minded souls. Being part of a group where you can be yourself, share your thoughts, and get valuable feedback can infuse you and encourage you to be all that you can be. Kindred support helps you live life to your highest ideals, finding the true inspiration and enlightenment that's part of your soul.

Over time, the student often becomes the teacher, so don't be surprised when others seek out and find you. This card of wisdom is letting you know that you have so much to share -- whether you realize it or not.

"You're about to embark on a much-needed journey to leave the past behind. This card lets you know that there's light at the end of the tunnel, and it signifies that the time has arrived in which a difficult cycle in your life is coming to an end. In the traditional tarot, this card also implies traveling or going forward -- involving crossing water or even moving abroad. Calmer waters are ahead, and with all the lessons you've learned from the past experiences, you're approaching this period having grown; and your're so much stronger for it.

The healing process is under way; and now you can set your goals, desires, and objectives to secure a more positive and successful future. Because your mind is more settled and less worried, synchronistic events will bring the right conditions and introduce people into your life for your highest good."

"The first of the Spirit cards signifies that this is the time to let your soul soar! New beginnings, ideas, revelations, and exciting adventures await you in your personal or business life. Creative endeavors, enthusiasm, positive energy, and a renewed spiritual strength are at an all-time high. The powerful force of spirit is flowing through you, and with it comes a new sense of purpose. Be all that you can be, reach inside, and tap into that force. Use it to move forward and set up a strong foundation for the future.

Other people may feel your excitement and joy and begin to benefit from the spark of life that's emanating from you. They'll wonder, "What's your secret?" and your energy could even ignite their own spiritual journey. Follow your intuition, but know that this is your time to spread your wings and fly!"

"The number 5 Emotions Card comes forth at a time when you may be expreiencing or grieving a loss of someone or something you were emotionally attached to. Honor your feelings. Only by healing and loving yourself -- by letting go of the past -- can you continue your journey.

The suffering associated with this loss delivers profound wisdom and knowledge for your soul. Your unique gifts, talents, and abilities (as well as your joy and sorrow) will not only make up who you really are, but better yet...who you will become. The painful experiences of life are equally as valuable as the joyous ones. Focus all your positive energy on the good in your life and what you're grateful for. Use your healing energy in this way and try not to focus on what you've lost, for new beginnings and happiness are just around the corner."
