SHIFT
by Wald Amberstone I've noticed an interesting phenomenon over the last few years especially, partly because I'm getting older and partly because my students are also. There seems to be a shift that happens when youth gives way to maturity and then middle age and beyond. The nature of what's important changes. The rush of circumstance and the personal dramas of everyday life become less compelling, and the attention begins to turn inward. It becomes increasingly important to answer psychological, moral, philosophical and spiritual questions that have developed over a lifetime and remain unresolved. As I grow older, these things are more and more in my mind and heart, closer to the surface of consciousness. When I was younger, I was reluctant to face these things, much less talk about them. But now, when someone offers to do a reading for me, it is these deeper, more personal issues that seem to come up of their own accord, no matter what question I start with. Because I am increasingly sensitive to this trend in myself, my readings for others move in the same direction. I find my clients and querents responsive to and deeply appreciative of the attention I give to these enduring life issues. I find that I am not alone in the deepening that accompanies the passing of years. And I find this kind of reading is the most deeply satisfying of all that I do. It is the desire to help, to heal, to give, that I am sure lies at the heart of the love for tarot that inspires most readers. It seems reasonable to me that, as tarot readers, you would want to become aware of this shift if it hasn't already occurred to you. Try it out for yourselves. Nuance your readings with mature clients to give more weight and more prominence to serious inner issues, and see what kind of response you get. I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised. Tarot School Aphorism OUR BIRTH CARD COURSE IS BORN! Our Nestling Takes Flight! The Tarot School's Birth Card Course is almost a month old! And while it might not be quite as adorable as this sweet little ducky, our hatchling has powerful wings ready to take YOU on the tarot journey of a lifetime. Naturally, we are proud of our creation, a labor of intensive research and a lot of love for the past six years. After all, this is a groundbreaking new program with in-depth content you have never seen from us (or anyone else, for that matter). In fact, our longtime student and friend, Beth Palladino, writes, “I've been studying Tarot Birth Cards with Wald and Ruth Ann both live and by recording since I started with them in 2002. I also use what I learned about Birth Cards in my own readings. This is definitely a brand new and highly expanded version. I just completed Lesson One and already have had new insights.” And then there are the stories beginning to roll in from students in Australia, Canada, China, India, Mexico, Netherlands, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and of course, the U.S. For instance, Yvette Ferrand in Florida writes, “This course is an evolutionary journey for me as an individual and what I can give to others as a reader. I feel like I've descended into the tarot for the first time. I've taken my first breath like The Fool to begin a new journey. This is spiritual and emotional.” Wow. Thanks, Yvette. We kind of think so, too! If you’ve wondered why there’s so much buzz about the tarot’s Birth Cards; or if you would welcome a sweeping refresh of your practice; or if you want to master a brilliant new perspective of how the tarot applies to everyone you know -– you can get started today. Inspiration and adventure await, and all downloadable from the cozy comfort of wherever your nest is. Click here: https://tarotschool.com/Birth-Card-Course.html NOTE: This is a written course, not an

Think about it, we all have credulously believed in some storyline, legends or the supernatural. If you are a spiritual practitioner, the word can make you raise an eyebrow. Before passing judgment on the word, lets talk about superstition. Most people are taught to believe that there is a force or source not found in the physical world that has influence on the earthly realm. Superstition is the belief that things can occur in an unscientific, lucky or magical way. It is associated with spirits, otherworldly beings, prophecy and magic. To make reference to superstition, implies convictions not shared with the majority belief in a one true Supreme Being. Superstitions have been handed down through history, folklore and religious rites. You’ll find it in prophecy and prediction of future events. Some believe superstition to be unfounded and downright sinful, while others utilize their superstitions in conjunction with their natural intuitive abilities as a way to cope with the uncertainty of the world.

Best Practices for Professional Readers SUCCESS AND THE MINDSET By Gina Thies www.tarotadvisor.com / www.facebook.com/tarotreaders www.tarotcoupling.com / www.oraclesoup.org What comes to mind when you think of success? Money, wealth, health; these may represent success indeed, but how these milestones are reached takes effort and the right mindset. Obtaining success is an on-going goal. Entrepreneurs and executives who were interviewed about career success said that winning in 2020 would require speed and agility given this time of uncertainty. In an article featured at Fast Company.com, Christine Andrukonis stated that all who were interviewed agreed that energy would be one of the most important factors required for success. Adopting and practicing an energy mindset is endorsed for long-term career success. Energy mindset and energy management are nothing new. The concept has been regurgitated in different forms in self-help, metaphysical and motivational speakers over the years. An energy mindset ranks self-awareness and self-care first. In this way, a connection to the “I” within can be obtained. Defining your own ideas and success factors are necessary, as no one else can tell you what your success should be. If you count being able to earn enough to stay out of poverty, you can call that a success rather than running a Fortune 500 corporation. For some just running a family is enough. The other considerations in the energy mindset is having concern for others and contributing to the highest good. An energy mindset will help you feel more empowered about the choices you make. Explore and understand the strengths and weakness of your talents and skills. Doing so allows you to put those skills to best use and to further develop skills to integrate into what you aim to produce. Energy and positivity should be placed on what you can control in the here and now, and getting proactive about your future success should be ongoing. Often revisiting things that you have and want to accomplish will serve as a chart that maps your success. It also serves to define or redefine what you truly consider to be your success story.
