Tarot Strategies for Life Change

Change, Results, and a New Tree

Look around you to read signals that the Universe sends. Sometimes, it is subtle, sometimes a happy coincidence or a dose of serendipity. And sometimes, it is a confluence of happenings that point to the same direction.

Let me give you an example. 

I was feeling a little down when I looked outside and saw the beginning of blossoms forming on a new tree that had been planted this past November. The tree was touted as having showy white blossoms, but the initial growth sported only baby green leaves. I was pleased to see the tree had weathered the tough, cold winter, and as a healthy, living thing; I was happy to welcome it as one of God's creatures, take care of it, and celebrate its uniqueness.

But approximately two days ago I looked at the buds where the green leaves are beginning to peek out and saw what appears to be nascent blossoms. To me the appearance of the blossoms represents the miracles and the hidden gifts of nature. 

To me, the Universe was sending a strong message. A book cannot be judged by its cover and many of the levels in which change is actively going on are not visible. 

Law of Attraction

My first reaction upon hearing about Law of Attraction was that is seemed naive. After all, if by "shifting your focus" you could attract riches into your life... well, what does it say about the poor souls going bankrupt because their poor health insurance offered insufficient protection against high medical bills. Who, in their right mind, wishes catastrophic illness upon himself and who wishes going to the poorhouse in the process.

In my mind, to suggest that one "attracts" this kind of catastrophe is cruel.

And yet, there is some truth to Law of Attraction. In my own experience I have found that when I am focused on a goal and see it as real and achievable, I generally do.

More thoughts on this later.
