Last night I read Tarot at a dinner party for four women and there was defiantly a theme. Not only did this theme bring these women together as friends but it was also a question they each asked about in their readings.
Each one of the ladies was not a local WA girl, they where from Germany, Melbourne, Brisbane and the UK. They met at a Perth Newcomers network and became friends; the longest anyone of them had been here was 18 months.

The question that I got asked was “Am I going to leave Perth and go back home?” Three out of the four where going to leave and the fourth woman was the only one who really wanted to stay so she was happy. With that question it felt as though I was just confirming what they already knew. That happens a lot with Tarot readings. The common phrases of ‘I just don’t feel like myself here’, ‘I feel that if I get involved too much with the guy I am seeing or the job I am in I will get stuck here’, ‘I am not happy’ was stated in one way or another, along with ‘I had a feeling that I was going to go/stay’. I wish we would trust that instinct more often, that gut feeling or underlying pull is the universe trying to get our attention.

So why do we ask what we already know? Fear and confirmation is the best answer I can come up with. We fear making the wrong choice and we want confirmation that what we think we are going to do is right. I do it all the time and I am also guilty of the other cardinal sin of tarot readings sometimes in not really hearing what is being said and only listening to what I want to hear. Personal interpretation is such a wondrous thing, all of those possibilities.

I guess you could get quiet philosophical about choice and say that you never really make a bad choice or the wrong decision, which is true it isn’t about wrong or right it is more about what is going to make you happy. What is the easy way or the hard way? Are you making that choice for you or for someone else?

At the end of the day we all make a choice and I truly believe we all know what is best for ourselves, always and the Tarot is a great tool to help you find what may be lying a little deeper.

A random thought….

Dreaming of the past and things that have happened and are clearly not out of my system yet is really beginning to get my goat. I wonder often if it is the fact that I get so passionate about things that it creates a tie or an energetic link to people and then I tend to replay or go back in some shape or form in dreams. The weird thing is that the situation I was dreaming about was work related and there is no way I am going to go back and revisit that or anyone involved.
