    • RE: Crazy Dream

      Alone of its own accord; sudden revelations/insights which will "energize" or shock you; i.e., that you will find motivating or shocking. What, in particular, it applies to...likely whatever came before that part of your dream.

      Consider something you have recently been "chewing over" or contemplating heavily; some issue you've been trying to "get a handle on"; something significant which has been on your mind recently.

      "Do allow intense feelings, in and of themselves, cause you to rush things."

      ...read "Do not"

    • RE: Help Me Out

      I'm not so certain that there is anything "fixed" about the I-Ching outside of the words on the paper. It never stops moving. It flows.

      I do agree with the "airy fairy" as you term it though. Positive affirmation is great, and certainly has its practical potential. But a healthy dose of realism goes a long way to avoid deluding oneself or others; doubly so in attempting to apply the divinatory arts/practices.

      I have had that very reading; goats horns stuck in the hedge; and the other, hedge before thorns behind. Time is usually not literal with I; its objective. Like saying one is stuck between a "rock & a hard place" ; has been or currently is (not that you asked for an interpretation). Inherent in every response is the answer to its solution.

      I've been consulting & learning I for about 2 years now (along with other related/similar studies) and have found it, for the most part, "spot on" regarding what I've asked about; even tried to "fake it" a few times, usually to my subsequent (and deserved) confusion. Shame on me for trying to test it LOL.

      After transcribing Huang's book over to text files onto my I-Pod, the greater part of the "theme" of I suggests that it is our own inability to remain balanced by embracing virtue & self-discipline which accounts for the more negative interpretations. It is not saying that one is fated; it is saying "you've made your bed, now you either continue sleeping in it or do something to undo what you've done & re-establish the balance you've set out of sorts" (which seems a given when you consider it). It feels more directly "cause & effect" oriented than other means of divining.

    • RE: Where or How to Learn I Ching???

      First, "easy to understand" is subjective. Not to sound "preachy", but wisdom comes through effort & experience. (I've been at it for ~2 years & am still learning daily...) And, from my own infant experience, I would suggest understanding Chinese wisdom by its own right (Zen, Tao, Confucianism, Kung Fu Philosophies, etc). "Quick" answers are not the typical way where these forms are concerned. They are meant to be thought-provoking; to force one to learn by way of their own inner devices.

      There are several reputed books (just search Amazon/Barnes&Nobles or similar books stores). I have personally found The Complete I Ching by Taoist Master Alfred Huang particularly insightful. Wilhelm's interpretation is in several places on the web (google I Ching Wilhelm). And there are other individual sites with additional insights.

      I would suggest familiarizing yourself with multiple interpretations to get a feel for the common seed between & amongst them; unless you can find a master with substantial experience with the Book of I willing to teach you (Yi Jing / I Ching).

      Wilhelms : http://www.akirarabelais.com/i/i.html

      Another : http://flytrapinteractive.com/~complimentary/iching/index3.html

      There are more. These two are plenty to start with.

      "After Harmony is sought, Great Harvest; Watching, one bites through"

      An implication that one's efforts pay off if sincerely determined & prepared.

      There is a question of inferior/superior, a reference to noble & virtuous character traits.

      A person full of pride defeats themself. A person of modesty is rewarded.

      In this manner, one's own ego will actually be responsible for "defeat" of themself if it is not put in check.

      This counsels honesty over trying to impress.

      (i.e. It's unwise to inflate one's importance or lie about one's skills or abilities)

      Then you are more likely to be trusted with responsibility from one in a position of greater authority or influence than your own.

      To me it says : Sure. You have the potential. Just be careful how you present yourself. Don't make promises you can't keep. Be honest. Be determined. "Impress" by being truthful & tactful.

      ...Any particular company; this is certainly sound advice...

      ...A specific company which you have not yet applied for; still good advice...

      ...A specific company which you have already applied for, I'm uncertain myself; perhaps there's a second process to it in this case...as this advice seems better suited to future endeavors rather than as follow up to previous (??)

    • RE: Lots of Vivid Dreaming Action!

      An intense change in dreams is often brought on by new stressors in life (whether positive or negative).

      If you're experiencing hardships in your life that are more intense than you're used to having to deal with, your dreams will, in most cases, intensify as well. Dito for the other side of the coin (new loves, excitement, etc). Something has occured recently that accounts for the noted change. All life is spiritual; so I won't jump onto that boat, since, in either of these cases, there is spiritual import to be attained/experienced.

      Unless you've suddenly given to eating certain foods shortly before bed, I would be inclined to rule out that as a source (google "toxic dreams").

      Care to share any?

    • RE: Tarot reading...second opinion

      "I thought the sun meant he thinks I am immature because of the child in the picture."

      That's not altogether impossible. I would lean towards perception of immaturity or childishness or just too young (in some obvious cases) if the card had been dealt upside down (and therefore interpreted in a more negative or obstructive, rather than positive or constructive, sense).

      Perhaps the "waiting" involves making an adjustment concerning what you feel about this, as the Sun does imply growth in its own fashion (as you pointed out).

      You could always do another request/reading in regards to whether this is the case.

    • RE: HELP: LOVE CROSS CELTIC READING QUESTION

      I'm assuming all dealt upright; have added a bit of flexibility for both positive & negative implications of cards. Given the insights, I'm also assuming this is more centric to him rather than you; but if it applies, then there it is.

      It certainly appears to me after having gone through it that this "fits" the Cancerian energy.

      Therefore, read the "you" as if you were him reading this. (Unless you get the feeling that this applies to you of course)

      1: The happiness derived from cooperative harmony with others. Getting along.

      2: The potential of emotions. The lessons spirit has to teach us. You are wondering what can come of this relationship; hopeful that it will turn out to be something empowering & ideal and not something less-so. It is a challenge because you do not wish to endanger the harmony/friendship you already have; you may fear that, if it doesn't work out, you will also harm the friendship you have.

      You want to be happy & find harmony with others.

      But you're uncertain & do not wish to lose the happiness you already know.

      This uncertainty is due to past experiences regarding similar scenario(s).

      3: You're uncertain as to how you should proceed. You have a choice to make concerning what you will do; what action you will take in regards to this which you're concerned with. But the aforementioned uncertainty leaves you juggling these choices.

      4: Past emotional pain & hurt. You're uncertainty is empowered by past experiences which have not turned out well emotionally. You question things pertaining to the new potential love because of these past experiences. In some ways you are still healing from these past wounds & do not want to experience that again.

      5: Star shows us that growth is more than just physical; it's emotional; it's spiritual. But she doesn't force us to drink from her pitcher. We must take our own cups & catch her water; or dip it into the pools she fills for us. She says to us that there is always room to grow...if you're willing to give it a sincere go.

      There is hope, but it is unwise to expect immediate results. Life takes time. She pours out her spiritual gifts in a measured, patient manner. She is in no hurry to empty her pitchers. Too fast and she would only turn the ground to mud & drown the plants; would only cause the pool to overflow before it's time.

      Take your time. Don't rush it. Things will come around if you can proceed patiently; slowly.

      6: This shows favor towards this other having potential where you are concerned. Remain aware of how you feel. Take care not to be overcome, to "drown", in potential negative emotions. Again, take it slow. Move too fast & one or both could be "suffocated" in some fashion or feel anxious/panicked. It's alright to really want to be close; but not everyone moves at the same pace.

      7: An indication that you are an emotionally expressive person, either "usually" or at the time of your request which motivated seeking answers from the cards. You are expressing your emotions regarding these things (or need to). This is a good "sign" for love & romance typically. It implies that you are in love but you fear whether this love is shared by the other (Moon). Perhaps there is a lack of communication in one or both directions?

      8: Have you let this other know how you feel? Or does that idea make you somehow afraid? Have they you?

      There is an indication that there is danger here; though it is likely that past experiences have you seeing phantoms of your own making. You want a connection, but there is a fear of it, motivated by past experiences which keep you on guard. This would motivate you to withdraw somehow or not express yourself clearly/sufficiently; whether in fact or in your own perception.

      9: A hope for power/control that will assist in this situation or a fear of being subjected to the power/control of it.

      You are seeking the strength within yourself to proceed with what your heart wants &, in the same way of saying it, you fear that you will not be strong enough to proceed in an effective/productive manner.

      If this is you, lend him your strength. If this is him, let him know you appreciate his strength that supports you. (Actually, both of these are applicable either way in all relationships & in both directions.)

      10: Maintaining ones watch as if on guard against possible threats. Taken too far, this is called "hypervigilance" & can be more damaging than helpful. It's positive expression is that there is an awareness which prevents one from being harmed due to lack of such awareness. It's negative expression is paranoia & the things related thereto.

      In this case I'm leaning on a combination of both (the easy way out for me).

      The aforementioned past, whatever its nature, has made you guarded of yourself. This is okay; no one likes to be hurt.

      But if the guard isn't let down, then the good things can't come through either. Thus, the true challenge here is in overcoming this guardedness. Star says take it slow. Don't be forceful or demanding. Be open, sincere & honest. Start small & build up to it. Then, you will find in time, that you stand in the inner courtyard of the fortress as a welcome presence.

      Overall this suggests that you want this but are afraid/unsure how to proceed because of past experiences.

      You're searching for the strength to "do the right thing". But the paranoia present here is making it difficult to act. You just can't bring yourself to let your guard down.

      Star is telling you to take it slowly so that you can make the choice; to "see how it goes", perhaps in small steps that allow you to get a feel for the situation little by little. Diving in is likely too much for one or both of you. You will, in time, discover whether or not the potential of this desired relationship is the kind you wish & hope for or whether it is more akin to that which has brought you pain before. One climbs a mountain one step at a time; not in a single giant leap.

      There is certainly potential there. But you must be honest, first and foremost, with yourself. Do allow intense feelings, in and of themselves, cause you to rush things. Certainly share them if the other is receptive. But if you get the feel that you're too intense, just trickle it out little by little, because, there is a presence of timidity & sesitiveness through all of this. You don't want to endanger friendship if things don't work out. But you won't know if it will work out if you don't try. Again, just don't rush it. Some defenses take time to overcome. Gentle & sincere kindness goes a long way.

      The best relationships start out as friendships that grow stronger over time & blossom into beautiful boquets.

      (As usual, give me a virtual smack in the back of the head if I'm in error.)

      8 Pent/Coin/Earth

      "Feel" is that he is uncertain & perhaps only considers the more "mundane" aspects of potential relationship. The "lean on me" of friends & acquaintences when times get rough, but not the "through the mud" that goes with being more closely/intimately acquianted. He may just not be ready for something like this; his focus is elsewhere (like on vocation or success in the workplace, etc.)

      4 Cups/Water

      Again, uncertainty. He may feel that he should seek something more ideal; does not feel that anything serious would be fulfilling for himself. This may be that he doesn't "feel that way" or that past experiences in his life have soured things for him; again, an indication that he may not be ready at the moment.

      Sun

      He probably thinks you're a bright & warm person. He DOES like you. But, given the first few cards, not likely in the way that counts between a man & woman who are intimately close in relationships.

      10 Swords/Air

      You've got the right of it. Let this idea go.

      Sorry sis. If you had your heart set on this, the cards appear to be saying that you've a valuable friend here, but not the love partner you may wish for. He may warm up to you in this manner in time or it may be that you'll just need to accept this & just be friends. Listen to your heart; you'll know if you should wait for him or not. Ultimately that's what counts.

      (If someone else wants to take a swing, I'd love to be proven wrong for Sabrina's sake.)
