Pick A Temperance Card Tarot Reading

Readings are under the read more.  Video version is also included in source link.

Pile 1/Rider-Waite 

The first card to come out for this pile was The Emperor.  This is a card associated with a responsible individual.  They are someone that is a capable leader and often takes this role on in situations.

The second card to come out for this pile was The Hermit.  This can be someone that prefers to keep to their self.  It may also suggest that someone is taking some time to reflect on their self and their priorities.

The third card to come out for this pile was the 3 of Pentacles.  This card is associated with working with others.  

Basically, I feel like all of this suggests that you tend to be the leader in group projects, although you may not appreciate having to take this role on. 

Your first oracle card is Focus On Service.  This does seem to suggest that you gain some sense of fulfillment from being of service to others.  I feel like this suggests that you may be trying to find a balance between helping others and taking care of yourself.

Your second oracle card is Blue Moon - Now Is A Powerful Time To Set Long-Term Goals And Sow Seeds For The Future.  This suggests that now is an appropriate time to think on the future and what your goals are.  

Your romance oracle card is Flirt.  This is a card about being willing to flirt if you are interested in someone.

Pile 2/Labyrinth

The first card that this pile got was The Star reversed.  This is a card associated with a feeling of hopelessness and a lack of optimism.  This suggests a difficult time for an individual.

The second card to come out was the 7 of Feathers, which is basically the 7 of Swords in this deck.  This card can be associated with deceptive behavior by someone around you and strategic behavior.

The third card to come out was the 10 of Pots, which is basically the 10 of Cups in this deck.  This suggests strong connections in your life, like your family for instance.  With this being upright, it suggests that things are going well in these connections.

Basically, this pile seems like it could be taken two ways.  The first is that someone is feeling hopeless in regards to someone else’s lack of honesty and how that is impacting their happiness.  The other is that someone is trying to act strategically to keep things going well in their connections, despite their own unhappiness and hopelessness at this time.  

The first oracle card that came out was Time To Go.  Basically, it is time to leave something behind that is no longer benefiting you.  This doesn’t necessarily have to be a person or situation, since it can also be a way of thinking.

The second oracle card that came out was Moon In Pisces - Beware Of Indulging In Negative Or Depressive Tendencies.  This is important since that Star reversed likely makes it tempting for someone to indulge in this unhealthy behavior.

The romance card is This Could Be The One.  This suggests that some of you may be in healthy relationships or interested in someone that has potential.

Pile 3/Nightmare Before Christmas

The first card to come out for this pile was the 8 of Needles, which is basically the 8 of Swords in this deck.  This is associated with feeling trapped in a situation.  

The second card to come out for this pile was Death.  This card is associated with endings and transformations.  This can be a painful period, but is generally one that you grow from. 

The third card to come out for this pile was the Ace of Potions reversed.  This suggests that you’re likely not expressing your emotions.  All of the negative thoughts and concerns that you likely have with the other two cards seem to be contained inside yourself, which is likely only adding to that 8 of Needles.

The first oracle card that came out was Play.  Basically, do something that takes your mind off of all the heavy stuff that you’re going through, even if it just lasts a moment.

The second oracle card that came out was Moon In Aries - Remain Sensitive To Others To Avoid Confrontation.  Basically, just keep in mind that there are others struggling, so try not to be insensitive to other’s problems or conflicts may occur.

The romance card that came out was It Is Safe For You To Love.  Basically, I feel like this suggests that it’ll take coming out of that 8 of Needles to be ready for anything relationship-wise since that may keep you having concerns in any connection.

Pile 4/Mystical Manga

The first card to come out for this pile was the 6 of Swords.  This card is associated with moving towards calmer times.  It is a slow process that requires patience, but it is progress.

The second card to come out for this pile was the 8 of Cups reversed.  This card is associated with moving away from a situation that wasn’t what you hoped.  This is likely the step that has started (or will start) your way to calmer times.

The third card to come out for this pile was the Knight Of Wands.  This can be associated with just going with what you want to do or feel like you should do.  Basically, not overthinking a situation before taking action on it.  

The first oracle card to come out was Go For It!  Basically, I feel this goes along strongly with the Knight Of Wands and going for what you want.  

The second oracle card to come out was Waxing Moon - Now Is A Good Time To Focus On Achieving Your Own Personal Goals.  Basically, focus on yourself and what you want rather than what other’s want.

Your romance card is Religious Factors.  Basically, differing beliefs may be playing a role in your love life.

Five songs that you may not hear this Christmas

The classics are the classics for a reason but here are five lesser known Christmas songs.

First up is Chip Taylor being Chip. And Chip being absolutely magnificent...

Phoebe Bridgers can do little wrong at the moment and her rendition of Merle Haggard's song is just beautiful.

Bridgers - along with Fiona Apple and Matt Berninger - also recently covered 7 O'Clock News / Silent Night but here's the original by Simon & Garfunkel.

More seasonal than Christmas here are Smith & Burrows with their own emotional winter's tale.

Finally let's go skating with Vince and the Charlie Brown gang.

Celebrating the True Meaning of Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is one of the most widely celebrated holidays around the world. As the season approaches, we see the streets light up with colorful decorations, hear joyful carolers singing, and we feel the warmth and love that this festivity brings. For Christians, this holiday is a time of great significance that reminds us of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who was born in Bethlehem over two thousand years ago. It is a time when we reflect on the story of His birth, the message of hope, and the promise of salvation that it brings.In today's fast-paced, commercialized world, it is easy to get caught up in the worldly aspects of the holiday season - buying presents, attending parties, and indulging in delicious food. However, we must always remember that the true essence of Christmas is rooted in our faith, love, and gratitude for what our Lord has done. Let us all take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and usher in the holiday spirit with open hearts and minds.

Biblical Perspective on Christmas

The birth of Jesus Christ is one of the most significant events in the history of mankind, and it is recorded in the Bible in the Gospel of Luke. The message of Christmas is essential to the Christian faith, as it symbolizes the beginning of God's plan for redemption, which ultimately leads to Jesus' death and resurrection. Luke 2:10-11 says, "And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.'"As Christians, we firmly believe in the message of Christmas - that Jesus Christ came to save us from our sins and offer us eternal life with Him. This is the reason why we celebrate Christmas with fervor and joy, as it reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice that our Lord made for us.

The Importance of Love and Gratitude

Beyond the spiritual significance, Christmas is a time to celebrate love and spread joy to those around us. It is a time when families come together to share meals, sing carols, and exchange gifts. Through these acts of kindness, we show our love and appreciation for our loved ones, friends, and neighbors.As we celebrate Christmas this year, let us be grateful for the blessings in our lives - our families, health, and the love that surrounds us. It is important to focus on these blessings and acknowledge them, even if we are facing difficult times. The spirit of gratitude and love is what brings us together and makes this season so special.

Navigating the Holiday Blues

While Christmas is a joyous time for many, it can also be a difficult season for some. In the midst of gift-giving and festivities, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, lonely, or sad, especially for those who have lost loved ones or are going through challenging times.If you find yourself struggling this holiday season, know that you are not alone. Reach out to a trusted friend or family member, or seek support from a counselor or coach. Remember that it's okay to take a step back from the festivities and focus on things that will help you navigate this time. Journaling, meditation, exercise, or volunteering are all ways to nurture your mental health and well-being during this season.

The Gift of Giving

Finally, Christmas is a season of giving, and there is no greater gift than the gift of love. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, let us also seek to give back to those in need. It can be as simple as volunteering, donating, or reaching out to someone who may be feeling lonely or isolated. Through our acts of kindness and generosity, we can embody the true spirit of Christmas and make a positive impact in the world.

Brining It Home: Have a Merry Christmas!

As we approach the Christmas season, let us remember the significance of this occasion - the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a time of love, gratitude, and giving, and we must strive to embody these principles in our daily lives.  Let us celebrate the true meaning of Christmas and enter the new year with hope and faith in our hearts.___________________________

House Flipper Job #29: Save my Christmas

The next job was yet again from Ebenezer Scrooge in the same house but now he had an attitude change and was happy again. I had to make his drab place that I had just done, and make it cheerful again. The outside was decorated in Christmas decor and I had to make the inside have more color and put up more decorations. There was also a new bathroom on the bottom floor and the kitchen was now open. Really nice. The upstairs was the same layout and I had to make the bedroom bright red. Nice. When I finished the job, I made $6,311.18.

favourite things about christmas || keeper gang

sophie: she looks forward to all of the lights; as a kid, christmas music was always TOO LOUD but the lights were always so pretty and helped distract her from the blaring thoughts of the kids around her

biana: winter fashion is so soft and cosy and she loves getting her friends matching sweaters and cute socks. it’s such a pretty time of year she loves sharing that with those she loves

linh: she loves the snow; as a hydrokinetic, she is hyper aware of the water crystals in snowflakes and it’s so soothing to feel the cool drops of ice around her and kissing her skin. she also tries to go ice skating with tam whenever she can convince him to go with her

tam: he actually loves snowboarding and lives for the thrill of it; he tried reaching linh, but she was a bit scared, so he goes ice skating with her from time to time and enjoys it despite his griping

keefe: being with friends; during winter holidays, he spends as little time at home as possible, tagging along with linh when she goes ice skating, brainstorming light setups with dex, even being biana’s model whenever she goes shopping for the guys’ gifts

dex: he, like sophie, loves the lights and always drops by havenfield to set up elaborate lights and decorations all around the pastures and setting up warm lights for the many nights he and his friends stay up all night outside

fitz: he never knows what presents to get his friends, so he spends the weeks leading up to christmas mastering some new sweet treat to present his friends on christmas
