{June 13, 2007} Eight of Wands

symbol- She comes to him in dreams
He takes her astral substance.
Meaning- join forces

She has given away her excess spiritual energy to several males. She is still capable of generating this energy by transmuting her sexual energy into spiritual energy but this is difficult at first and she resists doing it. It is hard to transmute one type of energy into another.

She is drawn to the male in her dreams even though she is not dating him any more. His desire for her is so intense it pulls her spirit to him as a moth to a flame. The astral connection once created is not easily broken. During this dream contact more of her spiritual energy is given to the male. She has no control over this. This energy exchange deplletes her and forces her to transmute sexual energy into spiritual energy.

This action of transmuting sexual energy into spiritual energy opens up important energy channels within her physical body and her nervous system. It ensures she retains the ability to operate at the highest spiritual levels. If these channels remain blocked she would feel a loss of her spiritual self.

The male generates energy from light energy and stores it within his body. To do this he learns how to transmute light energy into sexual energy. It must be transmuted first into spiritual energy, then into mental energy, then into emotional energy, then into nerve energy and finally into sexual energy.

The process of doing this opens up important energy centers within his body and his nervous system. At first this is difficult and he resists fiercely by living entirely in his head with his abstract thoughts and spiritual ideals. His connection of physical reality is in danger.

If you think about something long enough you will get emotional about it. If you get emotional enough about something you will be compelled into action to do something about it. This is the process he must now go through.

It is vital he open these blocked channels if he wants to actualize his dreams into physical reality. If he doesn’t he will remain caught up in wild ideas and schemes that have no chance at becoming reality. He must anchor this volatile energy at the earth level, the sexual level.

Male experience:

He can’t get her out of his mind. She comes to him in his dreams. She haunts every part of his waking life. He is frustrated and angry at himself, her, and at the world for being the way it is.

His ego is identifying with his physical body but his growing psychic awareness is in conflict with his conscious awareness. His conscious awareness is telling him to let her go and find someone else. His psychic awareness is telling him he will never find anyone else like her. He will never find anyone that understands him so perfectly.

Gradually he comes to terms with her rejection of him and his emotional/spiritual wounds begin to heal.

Female experience:

She is determined to forget him and the others she has dated. In spite of her efforts she is pulled to him in her dreams. Instinctively she knows there is still a powerful connection between them and he is draining her of energy. She experiences a fearful struggle to maintain any spiritual life at all. She feels as if she is loosing her virtue and being dragged down into materialism and sensuality against her will. He is somehow making her feel dirty.

By transmuting her sexual energy into spiritual energy she learns how to deal with this energy exchange effortlessly and retain her spiritual connection.

{June 11, 2007} Seven of Wands

symbol- He is in love with her
She is not in love with him

Meaning- Loss of innocence

He is convinced he is in love with her and she is his soulmate. No one else understands him as she understands him. All his time is caught up in daydreams about her. He could not imagine life without her and can’t understand her rejection of him. This does not seem like puppy love to him even though it is.

Things get so bad between them that they break up. He takes breaking up very hard and lives in a formless darkness. There is no desire or lust for life without her. He is detached from his surroundings and even from himself exploring the dark areas of his soul. He accepts her rejection because he knows he is unworthy of her. She is and always will be a Goddess to him.

If he could find out what is so bad maybe he could correct it and win back her love. This inward effort plunges him into confrontation with his own personal demons and weaknesses. It is an important time for learning who and what he really is. In time he learns to accept his own shortcomings and personal limitations.

After dating several different males she discovers it is not as fun as it used to be. Her excess spiritual energy is almost gone and things are not the same. She realizes the males she dates are all pretty nice people and she is hurting them by taking them so lightly. They all want the relationship to become more serious. She just wants to have a good time.

No matter how careful she chose her dates they eventually spoil it by wanting a serious relationship with her. It becomes harder to get out of relationships once she gets into them. There is no more innocence as she experiences the darker side of the male’s frustration. They begin to pressure her into staying in relationships with them.

She feels both sorrow and apprehension in a hostile and threatening world. He won’t leave her alone! She can’t get rid of him! She never meant to hurt him or anyone else.

Male experience:

He takes her rejection very hard. He thinks he is loosing his soulmate and will do anything to prevent that from happening. He hopes to convince her to change her mind and accept him again. When this fails he turns inside himself to discover what went wrong and to find out what makes him unlovable. He explores and confronts his personal fears and comes to terms with them.

Female experience:

She doesn’t want to hurt him but he is a real bore, so serious all the time and wanting to get more deeply involved. That is the last thing that she wants. All she wants to do is have fun and enjoy life. There is plenty of time later for a serious relationship. She dates others but they are all the same, they all want more than just to have a good time. It gets harder to say “no” and she can’t get rid of them as easily as she once could.

{June 9, 2007} Six of Wands

symbol- He invades her privacy
She uses others

Meaning- exploitation

Her excess energy is too much for him to absorb quickly. like her, there is a point when he becomes filled up and saturated. After all, she has a large amount stored up from birth. He can only absorb a little at a time.

He needs to create a surplus of his own male energy to balance her energy. He only knows how to do this by day dreaming and that is not working any more. This time day dreaming is a lower energy and the experience is different. He is still obsessed with her but something has changed. He doesn’t understand why she won’t return his love. He is exposed to the dark side of her personality. She is not the angel he thought she was.

Inner doubts and fears gain strength and his relationship with her becomes an abomination of horror and madness as everything goes wrong. Nothing is familiar and safe. Nothing is sacred. She doesn’t feel the same way about him as he feels about her.

Feeling the relationship is threatened and desperate to hold it together he intrudes more and more into her private life making a nuisance of himself. He is trying to bring her back to him.

She feels the need to rid herself of excess energy and begins to flirt and date other males. This sharing with other males brings the same joy and pleasure it brought the first time, at least for a while.

She enjoys the effect her body has upon males and enjoys the social activities of dating and the excitement it brings to her life. She lives for the moment and is the life of the party. She manipulates her relationships to get all the enjoyment she can. When she gets bored with her date she can always find another.

Male experience:

He gets glimpses of the dark side of her personality but ignores it. He feels her slipping away from him and the relationship changing. He doesn’t know how to deal with it. He wants to deepen the relationship but she wants to have a good time. His love means nothing to her at all.

Female experience:

She is exploring social life and her own sensuality. Dating brings joy and pleasure. There are lots of colors, sounds, and excitement. She is a live wire and the life of the party. She enjoys the control she has over other males and lets them take her places and do things for her. The last thing she wants is a serious relationship with anyone. She is bored with him and wants her freedom.

{June 7, 2007} Five of Wands

symbol- He is trapped in romantic fantasies
She is trapped in altruistic pleasures and service.

Meaning- entrapment

When they first began to exchange this volatile spiritual energy they jointly created astral constructs of the ideal life. These constructs were deposited in the astral planes to become potential events.

When she feels satisfied that she knows what she wants, she decides to go out and get it just the way they envisioned it together. She goes on without him since he just daydreams all the time. She no longer needs her excess spiritual energy and simply gives it to him as pure energy. This means the flow for the first time from her to him.

He stores her excess spiritual energy within his body. His energy level goes up and he becomes blindly intoxicated with her. This energy completely fills him and he walks on clouds. He looses intellectual objectivity.

As he integrates her energy his intuitive powers become activated and he receives spiritual insights and psychic experiences that confirm she is the perfect mate for him. He is convinced she is his one and only soulmate.

Male experience:

Blindly intoxicated with her “soul” energy he thinks she is his “soul mate” and nothing matters but to be with her. He wants more of her energy and she has given up all of her excess. To others he becomes a thing of wood with no emotional nature at all. Close friends and relatives are hurt by the distance he places between them. He intuitively know things about her and has psychic experiences involving her.

Female experience:

With the loss of her excess spiritual energy she identifies with altruistic goals. She is uninhibited and careless of ideals. Others enjoy to be around her and share her energy and enthusiasm. The world opens to her in all of its majesty and infinite possibilities.

She wants to experience it all! Everything seems familiar and safe. All is sacred. There is nothing to think about. It is all self evident and right in front of her. It is time to live and experience the fullness of life.

{June 5, 2007} Four of Wands

Symbol- He is lost in romantic fantasies about her.
She is lost in service to others.
Meaning- seduction

As her supply of volatile spiritual energy leaves she attempts to live out her fantasy life by becoming active in altruistic activities. If he isn’t ready she will go on without him. Life is for living.

He is in love with love and thinks he is in love with her. He is obsessed with her and his romantic fantasies are more real than she is. He lives entirely in his head. He sees nothing, hears nothing, says nothing. All his energy is caught up in his obsession about her and their imagined relationship. Worldly affairs and other relationships suffer because they seem vague and unreal to him.

Male experience:

His romantic fantasies are more real than she is. In daydreams he finds joy and peace. He doesn’t care about worldly affairs or friendships with others and they suffer. He sees her loosing interest in him and all his energy goes into making her exclusively his. He feels fear and apprehension at the possibility of loosing her. He is obsessed with her.

Female experience:

She offers herself to everyone without thought of self or personal gain. All she wants is to live her fantasy. She is only compassion and feeling for others as she helps them.

She finds him hostile and threatening in a world that is chaotic. She has fear and apprehension about exposing herself to his violence and negativity. The worries and cares of the world become all too clear. She is pulled in deeper and deeper and can’t get out.

{June 3, 2007} Three of Wands

Symbol- male forming life for them both out of ocean water.
She is the ocean.
Meaning- attraction

The sparks really fly between the sexes at this stage and everyone is very unexperienced with sharing this energy and excitement. Puppy love always is greater than real life and we are always afraid it is too good to be true. There is a lot of anxiety knowing that the relationship is build upon sparks and not upon solid realistic sharing.
Each feels unworthy and acutely aware of their own short comings. The male is forced to work through these feelings and confront them completely. He is the first to learn humility.

In relationships the first energy to be exchanged is volatile spiritual energy. This energy is the most abstract and idealistic. Here the male and female share deeply held religious beliefs and their visions of the perfect life, the perfect partner, …ect. This is puppy love at its most extreme. There is static electricity everywhere when these two get together.

His energy merges with her energy to form astral constructs of these idealizations. In effect, he shares his most secret dreams and beliefs with her and she understands him perfectly. This exchange is very powerful because the mutual understanding is so intense.

This harmony can’t last because as a male he has an unlimited supply of this spiritual/abstract energy. This is because his primary source of energy is light and the sun. Her supply is limited to the amount she was given at birth and stores in her body. This is because her primary source of energy is the earth. At some point she will run out of spiritual energy and rather than transform her sexual energy into spiritual energy, she will loose interest in long abstract discussions. He will wear her out and bore her with endless talk about dreams and fantasies.

He must transform his abstract/spiritual energy into mental energy. He must seriously think about how to achieve his idealistic goals and dreams in the real world. Otherwise he is nothing but talk.

Male experience:

He shares his dreams and aspirations with her and she understands him! This is an incredible experience and he is likely to think they were meant for each other because this mutual understanding is so intense.

His thoughts and dreams take on a form and clarity never before experienced. He is preoccupied with dreams of creating the perfect life for them both. He is rigid, inflexible and very idealistic. He doesn’t care what she wants. He thinks he knows what she wants. Their combined energy acts to clarify his thinking and make his dreams very vivid.

Female experience:

She has an immediate grasp of what he is trying to share. She understands but gets bored hearing the same thing over and over again. Especially if he doesn’t act upon his ideas.

She understands so perfectly she feels she will never again have to think about those issues. Her thought is now we agree upon the ideal life, lets do it. Don’t contemplate, actuate. But he is not ready.

Its hard for her to understand that he is stuck while she is ready to move on.

{June 1, 2007} Two of Wands

Symbol- Boy encounters angel of death.

Meaning- movement

This is the first exchange of energy between the male and the female as they are drawn toward each other. We feel shy, modest and vulnerable in our first encounters with the opposite sex. We are drawn toward the opposite sex but we don’t know if we can trust. We don’t want to be hurt.

Male and female energy is generated and stored within our physical bodies. It disperses itself through the body via the nervous system and circulatory system. As this energy moves throughout the body it becomes bio-electrical energy, nerve energy, sexual energy, emotional energy, mental energy, and spiritual energy.

In our encounters with the opposite sex Spiritual energy is the most volatile and the first type of energy to be exchanged. This exchange of energy can be done simply by being in the same room as the other person. We feel this energy transfer as an attraction. It is an energy exchange and there is an energy flow that is noticable.

Our physical bodies are capacitive in nature and will store a charge of male or female energy in the same way a battery will store a positive or negative charge. We store the energy that flows to us or the other person gets our energy and stores it.

During sleep this “captured” energy is blended with our own and released from the physical body through dreams. Collectively we call this combined sex energy “Astral” energy.

Astral energy is a perfect mix of male and female energy blended together. It remains connected to our physical bodies and a connection remains to the person we have exchanged energy with. This blended energy is controllable and gives us a sense of being more complete.We are drawn to this person because their energy makes us feel more complete.

Even though both sexes exchange energy and store it within their physical bodies there are major differences in how this actually happens. The male uses this blended energy to create and strengthen “self” or his non physical body. The female uses this blended energy to create a rich “astral” environment. The astral environment is our dreaming environment.

Male experience:

He instinctively recognizes her taking his energy as emptiness and death to him. If all of his energy went to her it would mean death of awareness as he knows it. He feels himself being drawn into her and part of him fears this. At the same time part of him longs for this.

In this first experience his energy flows to her and hers does not flow to him. He gives her energy even though he fears what it might do to him. For the first time he confronts the power of raw sexuality, both his and hers. She is and always will be the angel of death to him as she takes his energy. This is part of her “Goddess” power.

As he gives her energy he realizes “outer” and “inner” realities are intimately connected. His dreams become vivid and he feels emotions that are not familiar or pleasant. His rational outlook falters and he is uncertain where he stands.

He confronts his own feelings of guilt and unworthiness. He is brought face to face with his worst fears and demons. The pits of hell open before him.

Female experience:

She gives all she has to others without thought of self or personal gain. She experiences selfless giving and aspires to spiritual goals. She is the completion and end of all things. She is emptiness. Nature is bountiful and there is enough for everyone. Everything has its place and all is good. While he is thinking of her she is thinking of everyone else.

She is recieving energy from him and in control. She enjoys his attention. She should be aware that in male-female relationships the energy transfer will at some point change and she will loose energy to him. One day she will be at a male’s mercy. She will then give to him as she has recieved. The balance must be fullfilled.

{May 30, 2007} Ace of Wands

symbol- meaning-union

This is the starting point for love. The Ace of Wands represents the new born male and female child. They have not yet met in a meaningful way. The union represented by this card is the union and harmony of the universe itself. The universe exists in harmony even if we can not sense that natural harmony. The world is right and the world is perfect. There is nothing that needs to be changed. We are born into this world in a balanced way.

The male and female experience life very differently. The male regenerates energy by tapping into photon or light energy and the female regenerates her energy by tapping into the atomic and molecular energies of physical matter. From a sexual point of view the male is constantly generating and loosing sperm. The female is born with all the eggs she will carry the rest of her life. These differences are profound in their effect on each of us.

The old nursery rhyme tells us, “drums and snails and puppy dog tails, that’s what little boys are made of. Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of.” The physical body we are born into determines many of our life experiences.

This difference between the sexes is also a difference in polarity. It attracts the male and female together for an energy exchange and attempts to balance and neutralize the inequalities between each of them. Our souls may be both male and female but our physical bodies are not.

When these two meet it is “Puppy Love”! Each can see the God and Goddess in the other. They don’t really see the real person. In that sense this card represents Spiritual Love.

Ace of Wands

Male experience:

The Ace of Wands symbolizes light/electricity bursting through the barriers of old ideas. Conscious awareness and intuitive awareness are one and the same. Here is the spiritual experience of being at one with God or the Cosmic.

The boy child has the experience of becoming part of all things and finding his true destiny in play and nature.

The limitations of language make this experience indescribable and it can be shared with no one. This is very difficult for him to accept. Especially when he tries to communicate with the opposite sex.

This card symbolizes the life force, the phallus and God in physical form. The spirit of life within us is sacred and holy. Spiritual Light manifests as life energy.

Female experience:

The Ace of Wands symbolizes her union with the spiritual light. She achieves a great understanding in the form of illuminations. She has a strong awareness of being a girl instead of a boy. Instinctively she is aware of the life force in the phallus and of boys being Gods in physical form .

She wonders what it would be like to live forever but no one understands her. Many things remain a secret between God/dess and herself.

She feels small and helpless as she ponders the mighty forces of destiny and the male dominated world.

{May 28, 2007} Princess of Wands

The Princess of Wands contains the essential elements of the Tarot Trump cards THE EMPRESS, HIEROPHANT, CHARIOT, THE LOVERS, THE HERMIT, and THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE.

THE Princess is also related to the ACE of Wands, ACE of Pentacles, TWO of Wands, TWO of Pentacles, THREE of Wands and THREE of Pentacles. Her Element is Fire.

The Princess of Wands contains all things within her and is a mirror that accurately reflects the unseen worlds. She is very intuitive and able to perceive things the way they really are. She has a strong sense of being part of the entire universe. She knows she belongs and is happy in that knowing.

She has true vision into astral events and is a natural psychic. She enjoys ideas and abstract thoughts. She reads lots of books and is good at planning things. Her basic outlook on life is set in stone and she will resist all attempts to change the things she believes in. She is extremely opinionated and strong willed.

The Princess of Wands has a deep ability to love that can overcome all obstacles. She has strong bones and nervous system and has the ability to think imaginatively and creatively about things. She enjoys the fine arts and good music.

{May 26, 2007} Prince of Wands

The Prince of Wands is related to the Tarot Trump cards HIGH PRIESTESS, HIEROPHANT, EMPEROR, THE LOVERS, STRENGTH and WHEEL OF FORTUNE.

The Prince is also related to the ACE of Wands, ACE of CUPS, TWO of Wands, TWO of CUPS, THREE of Wands, and THREE of CUPS. His Element is Fire.

The Prince of Wands has fully developed his body of light and can astral travel in full awareness at all levels of the astral planes. His awareness can travel through the cosmic circuit as light and photon pulses. This gives him deep insight into nature and life itself.

The interesting thing is that even though he is born with the second sight he will often fear it and repress it. He sees too deeply into things and prefers to not look at times. This makes it hard to share personal things with him because it feels uncomfortably intimate.

He is the farmer that loves working in the field growing crops, being close to nature and animals. He is their protector and guardian spirit. He is tough and weathered like an oak tree.

A natural outdoorsman, he is a deeply spiritual person that can make friends out of enemies. He is not an emotional person and any emotional thoughts are painfully destroyed as soon as they appear. He would rather trust his intellect instead. He has a strong body and nervous system that can withstand the rough treatment of being constantly outdoors.

You might recognize him by this phrase,”that just doesn’t make any sense”. It is easy to be intimidated by him because he is so competent at so many things.
