Feb 2nd
TUESDAY 14TH FEB VALENTINE’S DAY TAROT
2012 is a very special year. First and foremost for the romantics among us, of course, it’s a leap year – the February 29th folk tradition goes that women may propose marriage – so it’s also the perfect month to propose to your partner, no matter what gender.
However, if you aren’t absolutely certain you’d like to get down on one knee (yet), or if you’d like to reveal the consequences what might occur if you do take that earnest chance to court the one you love, why not come down to Watkins Books have a special Lovers tarot reading this Valentine’s Day?

TAROT AND CURRENT EVENTS,
Part Two (Part One)
Now it’s worth taking a little time to discuss the selection of the Significator card. Really I just want to underline that you need to pick the card that fits to your eye, to your judgement, to your opinion. You may use the same deck as me and come up with a very different card because we each have our individual responses to the cards and to the person we’re selecting for. If with your cards and your eye the card for Nick Clegg is the Devil, or Temperance or the King of Wands then use it.
Here’s an example of my own process. This was another political reading to see whether Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama would win the nomination of the Democratic party to be the Presidential candidate. As Clinton was already a powerful and established figure she would have to be a queen. The card that represented her would have to be one demonstrating power an drive; that (for me) narrowed it down to either More >

A short series on Self-Guidance through Tarot. See part 1.
Well, after clarifying the question, or more accurately, our intention we move on to the mechanical phase of the process.
Actually to call it mechanical is incorrect; it is the apparently mundane act of deciding the number of cards and the lay-out to use. This part of the process is the one that is the easiest to miss or mix up; it’s so mundane we take it for granted.
How many cards will I lay out? What does each position mean? Will I start from a significator card? What is my shuffling and cutting procedure?
As with all the other preliminary phases, reading for oneself requires more attention here, than reading for others. It is for this reason that I recommend using the minimum number of cards when reading for yourself. The more involved we are the closer our focus needs to be.
So our intention is to improve our focus by limiting the number of factors we have to juggle, thus limiting stress or anxiety. Obviously when we read for ourselves the subject is likely to be ‘charged’ making it harder to get into a divinatory frame of mind (which will be our next More >

ON TAROT
As a professional Tarot reader I find that lot of my clients mention that they have their own Tarot decks but have difficulty reading for themselves. It’s very common problem but it is a pity not to be able to use such an elegant and useful tool. Most of them mention the difficulty of interpreting the cards; but really that’s not the problem, otherwise we’d all have to spend weeks, months or years studying textbooks to find the right answer. It’s easier than that if we start at the beginning, because it’s those first steps that we need so much more in reading for ourselves – and are so much more likely to neglect.
So first – The Tarot is a symbolic map of our situation. Given “this” question what, for better or worse, are the possibilities for success? This means that our very first question is – “What do we want?”
Let’s take an example – “Will I get this job?” Asking in this way puts us into an More >
