Oracle Card for December 24, 2014:  "Mildew Fairy" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

My Tarot Decks: The Radiant Rider-Waite

There came a point after my friend moved to Washington State that I realized I probably wouldn’t be getting back the Tarot deck that I had let him borrow. I was more or less indifferent toward it, and thus went out to buy a new Tarot deck so I could continue learning.

That deck was the deck I will be discussing today: The Radiant Rider-Waite Tarot.

Oracle Card for December 16, 2014

Oracle Card for December 16, 2014: "Make a Wish" from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck

Everything is starting to come together just as you had hoped. You are continuing to move forward in your endeavors.

My Tarot Decks: Tarot of the Mermaids

So far this has got to be my favorite Tarot deck ever. Why? Because I love mermaids. I always have and always will. My obsession with mermaids started when I first saw The Little Mermaid (I must have been about four at the time), and I never grew out of that obsession. These days my love of mermaids manifests as owning—and swimming in—four mermaid tails (one of which is pictured below), not to mention owning a mermaid Oracle deck with another pre-ordered, and reading Tarot with a mermaid-themed deck. In short, if something is related to mermaids in any way, then it must be mine!

Oracle Card for December 15, 2014

Oracle Card for December 15, 2014:  "Alchemy" from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck.

The results you have been striving for are now starting to materialize. Continue to work hard for what you want, and your patience and persistence will be rewarded.

Oracle Card for December 13, 2014

Oracle Card for December 13, 2014:  "Violet Angel" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

New beginnings are approaching. This is your opportunity to start things with a clean slate. You are presented with new opportunities; now is a time of optimism and hope.

Oracle Card for December 12, 2014

Oracle Card for December 12, 2014:  "Death and the Maiden" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

You are caught up in a relationship or situation that is draining you.

Oracle Card for December 11, 2014

Oracle Card for December 11, 2014:  "Violet Duchess" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

You may be feeling bored or burnt out with where you are in life. Work or school isn't what it had been before, or rules may be keeping you from your full potential. It's time to get creative. Go out more, or turn to projects or hobbies in your free time.

Oracle Card for December 10, 2014

Oracle Card for December 10, 2014:  "Pfairy of the Highlands" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

It is time to face your responsibilities now. There are things in life that we may not want to do, but have to do out of necessity. This may be part of a newfound independence, but that is a good thing. You can do it, and if you need help, all you have to do is ask.

Care to take a survey?

Because I’m selling Tarot readings on Storenvy, I created a survey to find out about people’s experiences receiving psychic readings.

Oracle Card for December 9, 2014

Oracle Card for December 9, 2014:  "Nautilus Princess" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

The time has come to once again reexamine your growth. Change is in the air and who you were at one point may not be who you are today. You have a new set of responsibilities to attend to, but if you can meet these new challenges with flexibility and an open heart, you are sure to come out on top.

My Tarot Decks: The Llewellyn Tarot

One thing I’ve been mulling over is sharing my Tarot and Oracle decks. As a collector of Tarot and, more recently, Oracle decks, I must admit I love to show them off! I always bring several decks with me to my Tarot meetup.

Oracle Card for December 8, 2014

Oracle Card for December 8, 2014:  "Ghosts of the Past" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

You are coming upon a time where you may need to face your past and recall past lessons in order for growth to take place.

Oracle Cards for December 7, 2014

Oracle Cards for December 7, 2014: "Amara the Menehune", "Sea Beacon Fairy", and "A Clockwork Pumpkin" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

The messages from yesterday are still just as relevant today, and you may still be aware of their influence.

Oracle Card for December 6, 2014

Oracle Card for December 6, 2014:  "Amara the Menehune" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

It is time to slow down and decompress. Take time out of your busy life for a little self-love. Eat better, visit a spa, get some fresh air by going outside and exercising.

The number on the card is 19, which reduces to 1 (1+9=10=1+0=1). This is a number of new beginnings and renewal.

Oracle Cards for December 5, 2014

Oracle Cards for December 5, 2014: "Nautilus Princess" and "Marie Masquerade" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

The theme here is growth, new opportunities, and moving up.

Oracle Cards for December 4, 2014

Oracle Cards for December 4, 2014: "Strangely Lonely" and "A Clockwork Pumpkin" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

Clinging to the old and outdated may be preventing progress and growth from taking place.

New Oracle Deck: Oracle of Shadows and Light

This arrived for me yesterday, and I’m thrilled as can be! I ordered it off of Amazon back on Black Friday after reading some good reviews (and seeing that some of their cards featured Mermaids). I hardly expected it to arrive so soon, but I’m glad it did!

I Just Had To

So I was poking around in Barnes and Nobel earlier today and I wound up putting an opened (by someone else!) deck of Tarot cards back in order, hahaha!

Oracle Card for December 3, 2014: "Eclipse Mermaid"

Oracle Card for December 3, 2014:  "Eclipse Mermaid" from Lucy Cavendish's Oracle of Shadows and Light.

I'm not surprised that the first card I drew from this deck was this one! This seems to be a card of changes, and possibly even new beginnings as it is card ten in the deck.

Oracle Card for December 2, 2014: "Stay Optimistic"

Patience, persistence and hard work are the keys to success, and this card calls you to remember this and maintain a positive frame of mind as you work to your goals. You're getting there, even if the results don't seem entirely visible just yet.

Oracle Cards for November 30, 2014

“Treasure Chest” and Morning Affirmations” from Doreen Virtue’s Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck.

Once again your efforts—whether at home, at work, or at play—are paying off.

Oracle Card for November 29, 2014

“Play Time” from Doreen Virtue’s Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck.

You are working hard, and now it’s time for a small break. Take the time to go for a walk or read a book to clear your head and avoid burnout. If there are hobbies or interests you haven’t been able to pursue in awhile, try turning your attention to that.

I Lowered My Prices on Storenvy

My 3-card readings have gone down from $15 to $10 and my 5-card readings have gone down from $25 to $15. There are more changes to come but this is what I've got for now. You can check it out at rosecitytarot.storenvy.com.

Oracle Card for November 28, 2014

"Treasure Chest" from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck.

Your hard work is paying off. Take this opportunity to treat yourself to a little something--you've earned it! Just make sure to show your gratitude as well.

Oracle Card for November 27, 2014

“Positive Energy” from Doreen Virtue’s Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck.

When things get stressful, this card is a reminder to remove yourself from the situation and just breathe. Things will get better; after all, the Universe has its way of working things out.

Always try and look on the bright side. The energy you put out—whether positive or negative—will come back to you. If you think something will or will not go a certain way, then that is what will manifest, as that is the energy that you put out into the world. Surround yourself with positive people and think encouraging thoughts.

School and Blogging

Yesterday I registered for Winter Term classes, one of which will be in the classroom while the other will be conducted online. Two to three classes is the most I can successfully take at a time while balancing work and a social life.

What this means is that my Oranum schedule may change a bit and that I will not be reading on Saturdays anymore after December 22, 2014--the start of the Winter Term. Of course, I will still be able to conduct email readings via Storenvy, and I will stick to the 2-10 day turnaround time. When I am not reading on Oranum via chat, you can purchase email readings from me there as well. Just please be sure to have a clear question/questions in mind when you purchase a reading. :)

As a final note I will continue posting news and updates via this blog, my Tumblr blog, and on Oranum. I am now on Twitter as well so if you haven't followed me yet, please do!

Because I haven't been blogging as much as I should have I definitely plan to be more active on my blogs.

That's all for now. See you later!

Technical Difficulties

My computer is down at the moment due to being stuck in an automatic repair loop and my inability to enter into safe mode to fix it.

Unfortunately, this means I likely won't be going on Oranum this weekend like I had intended. I was planning for today or sometime tomorrow so I could get another day in before I left for the coast.

I apologize for my computer crapping out and I hope to get it up and working again soon. In the meantime you can visit rosecitytarot.storenvy.com for a tarot reading.

If any of you lovely folks out there has a Dell Windows 8.1 Laptop and thinks they could help and let me know how to enter safe mode, don't hesitate to contact me! I'm also registering for college classes today and since they will be online, I gotta get my computer taken care of ASAP.

Thanks for bearing with me!

First Oranum Testimonials!

Last night I was having a little celebration because I just got my first reviews on Oranum! Both positive, and I have even earned myself a five star rating! Ho-yeah!

In other news, I had an encounter with a French-speaking Oranum user. I hate to admit this but I've forgotten most of the French I learned in high-school. I may have to ask my roommate, who speaks French fluently, to help me translate next time this happens.

Business Cards!

Here’s what I’ve chosen for my business cards!

I'm Back!

After being MIA on Oranum for awhile I'm going back on there tomorrow from noon to 5PM Pacific. Hope to see you there!

What I've Been Up To: November 2014 Edition

I haven't been much of a Twitter user since my thoughts tend to exceed the 140 character limit, but I just went ahead and created a Twitter account for Rose City Tarot.

Oranum Schedule: Week of October First

I'm back on Oranum today from noon to 7PM Pacific Time, and I will also be on there on Friday from noon to 7PM Pacific Time. See you there!

Oracle Card for October 1, 2014

Simplify Your Life from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck.

A very fitting card for the first of the month! Cleaning doesn't always have to be a chore. Sometimes, clearing away clutter that has piled up or getting rid of things that you no longer want or need can be a way of de-stressing and offer peace of mind. Of course, it doesn't just have to be physical things. A simple change in scenery, or even ridding yourself of toxic relationships, can be helpful too, and can be a way of making room in your life for better things to come.

Oracle Card for September 28, 2014

A New Dawn from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck.

Things may seem bleak right now, but try not to lose hope. You are stronger than you know and you can get through this. Take some time out to pray, meditate, or talk to a trusted friend or family member. Whatever is going on in your life right now does not have to be weathered alone. 

I Got a New Oracle Deck Today...

...and I'm absolutely in love.

Tarot and Tea

Back on Wednesday I went to a tarot meetup group called Tarot and Tea. I loved it!

Oracle Card for September 27, 2014

Play Time from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins oracle deck.

Tying in with yesterday's card is this one, beckoning you to enjoy yourself and have fun as you take a much needed breather. Take part in activities you love, whether they are current pastimes or ones in need of revisiting.

Oracle Card for September 26, 2014

Rest from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins oracle deck.

You've worked hard, reaped the rewards of that hard work, and now you can rest easy knowing that everything will be fine. Now you can kick back and pamper yourself:  curl up with a good book, your favorite show, a cup of tea. Take it easy. Breathe. You've earned it.

Oracle Cards for September 25, 2014

Dream Big and Accept Heaven's Help from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck.

This is a time of manifesting, all is happening as it should. It is time to clear away that which is blocking you so that you can move forward with few obstacles.

Oracle Card for September 24, 2014

Yes from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck.

We meet again, Yes! Your intuition is trying to tell you something. Explore those feelings, that nagging thought, but within reason.

Oracle Card for September 19, 2014

Worthiness from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck

There may come a time when you may doubt yourself or your talents. Remember to stay positive in the face of fear and self-doubt. Don't let it block you or become an obstacle between you and your goals. When you feel yourself starting to fret, stop those thoughts in their tracks and remind yourself that you can do it.

Oracle Card for September 18, 2014

Ready, Set, Go from Doreen Virtue's Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck.

It never hurts to plan things, but it's the action behind your intent that gets results. Sometimes you have to forgo testing the waters and take the plunge, especially if you're prone to psyching yourself out by over-thinking. In the words of a certain shoe commercial, just do it!

Oracle Cards for September 17, 2014

Time to Move On and Yes from Doreen Virtue’s Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck. When I went to pull one card, another came with it, so there’s two cards today.

Introductory Post

Well, the site and this blog are still under construction but I thought I may as well introduce myself anyway :)
