Today's Card : The Lovers
The Lovers card is a major arcana card that centers strongly around
desires. This card warns us to let our
heart/emotions cloud our judgment! This is a good time to take
inventory of your life and find out if you are truly going for your
hearts desires, or are you stagnating? Are you settling for less than
you deserve? or are you unsure of what will bring you fulfillment
ultimately?
Today's card asks us to find our true passion, a cause or life path
that really lights a fire in our soul... Seek this path out now, this
is a good time. You may just "stumble" accross something unexpected
that will start you on a whole new mission :)
The Lovers card also talks to us about unions, not only with our
spouses or significant others, but with ourselves... what can you do
to be a better friend to yourself? Remember that soulmate staring
back in the mirror at you every morning, and see that your basic needs
are being fulfilled as well.
Lovers also speaks of sensual pleasures, take a long walk in nature, a
bubble bath, drink a nice blend of coffee or tea... let your senses
come alive today and enjoy the beauty of your life and all the wonders
of the World that come in the seemingly smallest things. Take nothing
for granted today, and you will be guaranteed an experience to
remember...
I think they are both correct actually... I am making big changes to my life and I am working on my relationships with others and The Man. So it will be interesting to see how the Tower effects the rest.
Hope you all are having a great day and go check out the Tarot-To-Go podcasts on iTunes. Let me know what you all think. I would love to post feed back! And if you have a favorite deck or author we might be able to interview, let us know. We will gladly give you credit!
Thanks for your support!

Born today....
Jan. 19th, 2007 02:47 pm1736 - James Watt, Scottish inventor of the steam engine.
1807 - Robert E. Lee, American commander-in-chief of the Confederate armies.
1809 - Edgar Allan Poe, American poet, author.
1839 - Paul Cézanne, French painter.
1908 - Ish Kabibble (Merwyn Bogue), American comic singer.
1943 - Janis Joplin, American blues and pop singer.
1946 - Dolly Parton, American songwriter, singer.
1955 - Paul Rodriguez, Hispanic-American comedian.
What a mix of people! And of course having Poe, Joplin and Parton all birth on the same year is just weird to me at least.
But All I can hear right now is a dark verion of "Me and Bobby McGee" sung by Dolly. I know Dolly doesn't really sing Dark, but still....
;D

Jan. 19th, 2007 03:49 pmDeclaration of Revocation:
by John Cleese
To the citizens of the United States of America, in the light of your
failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern
yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your
independence, effective today.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties
over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which
she does not fancy.
Your new Prime Minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the
97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside
your borders) will appoint a Minister for America without the need for
further elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.
A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of
you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the
following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Then look up "aluminium." Check the pronunciation guide. You will be
amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.
The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and
'neighbour'; skipping the letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness on
your part. Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping
half the letters.
You will end your love affair with the letter 'Z' (pronounced 'zed' not
'zee') and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise."
You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra' e.g.
Edinburgh. You are welcome to re-spell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you
can't cope with correct pronunciation.
Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look
up "vocabulary." Using the same thirty seven words interspersed with filler
noises such as "uhh", "like", "awesome", "whatever" and "you know" are
unacceptable and inefficient forms of communication.
Look up "interspersed."
There will be no more 'bleeps' in the Jerry Springer show. If you're not
old enough to cope with bad language then you shouldn't have chat shows.
When you learn to develop your vocabulary, then you won't have to use
bad language as often.
2. There is no such thing as "US English." We will let Microsoft know on
your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take
account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize."
3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents.
It really isn't that hard. English accents are not limited to cockney,
upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier).
You will also have to learn how to understand regional accents ---
Scottish dramas such as "Taggart" will no longer be broadcast with
subtitles.
While we're talking about regions, you must learn that there is no such
place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is "Devon." If
you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become
"shires" e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire, Louisianashire.
4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the
good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play
English characters.
British sit-coms such as "Men Behaving Badly" or "Red Dwarf" will not be
re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience who can't
cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness.
5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The
Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to
get confused and give up half way through.
6. You should stop playing American "football." There is only one kind
of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good
game.
The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your
borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You
will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.
Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a
difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play
rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping
for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like
nancies).
We are hoping to get together at least a US Rugby sevens side by 2010.
You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event
called the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside of
America.
Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your
borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be
allowed to play a girls' game called "rounders," which is baseball
without fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.
7. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no
longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a
vegetable peeler. Because we don't believe you are sensible enough to
handle potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you
wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new
national holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive
Day."
9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap, and it is for
your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we
mean.
All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts. You will start
driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go
metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion
tables.
Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense
of humour.
10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call 'French
fries' are not real chips. Fries aren't even French, they are Belgian
though 97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe)
are not aware of a country called Belgium. Those things you insist on
calling potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut
and fried in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer
which should be served warm and flat.
Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.
11. As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup will be added to
all tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this quantity to be
doubled for tea made within the city of Boston itself.
12. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling "beer" is not
actually beer at all, it is lager. From November 1st only proper British
Bitter will be referred to as "beer," and European brews of known and accepted
provenance will be referred to as "Lager." The substances formerly known
as "American Beer" will henceforth be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's
Urine," with the exception of the product of the American Budweiser
company whose product will be referred to as "Weak Near-Frozen Gnat's
Urine."
This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in
the Czech Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.
13.From November 10th the UK will harmonise petrol (or "gasoline," as
you will be permitted to keep calling it until April 1st 2005) prices with
the former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices to those of the former USA
and the Former USA will, in return, adopt UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US
gallon -- get used to it).
14. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns,
lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and
therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be
handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without
suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not grown up enough to
handle a gun.
15. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.
16. Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you
shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).
Thank you for your co-operation.
