The Lunar Effect

I remember 26 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child.  I was living on Cape Cod.  This was to be my Parents first Grandchild and they were excited.

My Father called me one night to tell me heard a story on the radio about the moon's effects on pregnant women living in coastal communities.  My Father was intrigued and said "Maybe the baby will be born at the full moon".  My Daughter was born December 22, 1988 and the full moon was December 23.  Pretty Close don't you think?  Well, six years later I was living in Florida and pregnant with my second child.  My son was born September 18, 1994 and the full moon was September 19.  I was convinced!!

Apparently there is no scientific evidence to prove the Lunar Effect.  They should have interviewed me for the study.  Anyway, I decided to do my own extensive research.

Today is Sunday August 10th.  It is a full moon and a Super moon tonight!  The maternity wards must be packed.  I place a call to Wellington Regional Hospital and ask for the Maternity ward.  I am connected with Nanette.  I am told by Nanette that the maternity ward has 3 Mothers in labor.  Nothing out of the ordinary. I ask if at other full moons has it been busy?  Nanette tells me "No, we usually notice a spike in delivery around storms in August and September.  This, she tells me, may due to barometric pressure or everyone having a very good time on Valentines day.  However this can't be proved either.

So why do we all say "It must be a full moon"  every time something weird happens ?  We all must feel it don't we?

German Researchers Hans-Joachim Mittmeyer of the University of Tubingen and Norbert Felip from the Health Institute of Reutlingen claim that a study of police reports for 50 new and full moon cycles shows that the moon is responsible for binge drinking.  So there you have it.  There is a Lunar Effect, but I already knew that!

I will probably get to meet Nanette soon .  My Daughter is pregnant with her third child and will be delivering at Wellington Regional Hospital.  I will get more information from her then.

So tonight I am sitting in my kitchen looking out at the big, full super moon and making my affirmations. Maybe my Grandchild will be born tonight?

Reading for Super Moon August 10th 2014

The one card reading for the Super Moon August 10th, 2014.  The Hierophant # 5.
The number 5 stands for change, expansion, challenges and fluctuations.

If you have been seeking spiritual guidance, you are now ready to hear and listen to the message.

It looks like this Super Moon will be all about obstacles, conflicts, regrouping, and complications.  Don't let this worry you because you are now forewarned.

Balance and conformity is the message of the Hierophant.  Don't do anything radical.  Go with the flow for a while.  This will manifest in different ways.  Personally, a new relationship may not pan out, but you knew it wasn't right to begin with.  Move on and let go of past hurts.  New opportunities are coming.

Financially you may get the run around with paperwork.  Someone may forget to pay you. It will work out, but cause you aggravation.

Professionally you may not be able to get your ideas off the ground, but this may be a blessing in disguise. A different direction will bring success.

Physically you may be experiencing respiratory problems.

The Hierophant explains the mysteries.  You may need to seek the advice of someone who is more qualified than yourself.

No matter what is going on a full moon is a powerfull moon.  Make your affirmations on the full moon!

Tarot Readings for Children?

When my children were young, I would do Tarot readings at a friends house or a client's home.   With the arrival of the internet, readings could be done at home.  My kids saw me doing readings frequently.



My daughter never showed any interest in the cards at all.  My son watched closely when I would do readings  for friends.  The colors and pictures really got his interest. As he watched me  putting things away he asked "how do you do that?"  I don't know why, but I didn't know what to say.  I thought maybe I shouldn't show him this.  What should I do?



I thought well, at least he didn't ask about sex so I gave him the deck and told him to look at all the cards and tell me what he thought.  I was amazed at his insight and his interest.  About a week later he walked in to my office and asked if he could ask me a question with the cards.  Then he said " do I have to tell you the question?"  I told him that he could keep the question in his mind.  Meanwhile I started to panic again.  Ok now this is the sex thing or drugs or who knows what!!!  I stayed calm and decided that it can't be that bad he is only 12. I was afraid that every black card in the deck would come up and what would I tell him? I had him shuffle the cards and cut the deck.  To my complete surprise they were beautiful cards!  I don't remember the exact cards, but I told him that he had been worrying over something needlessly and that it was going to end very well.  As soon as he heard that he flopped down in a chair and said " YES, I am going to pass the test". 



 

Picking a Tarot Deck

Finding a Tarot deck is very easy. Bookstores, New Age stores and the internet make it easy to find the cards. Choosing the deck that is right for you is another story.

Searching the internet is a good start and you will find many decks. I would suggest that once you have searched, head to a bookstore that has samples on display. Books A Million has cards on display. Look at the imagery and feel the cards. Decks come in different sizes. You will want to see which size card is most comfortable to handle. There are beginner decks with meanings printed on the cards.

Don't let anyone tell you that you must start with a certain deck. It is a personal choice. Tarot decks have 78 cards. Oracle decks or Spirit decks may have less cards and the meanings of the cards may be very different from the Tarot. You may want to start with a true Tarot deck, but once again it is your choice.

Pick a deck that feels comfortable to you. When you hold the deck do you feel anything? If you are more visual it will just be the imagery that strikes you. Over time you may acquire many decks.

Go ahead, begin your journey.
