Tarot Cards: Accurate Or Not?

There has been a phenomenon for quite a while about tarot cards. Tarot cards are a set a playing cards that each have their meaning and are typically used for gaining answers from the spiritual world above. The Tarot cards each depict certain aspects and characteristics of life. Some symbolize the past, present, or future. Every spiritual lesson we experience in our lives is represented in the seventy-eight Tarot cards that come in a deck. When using Tarot cards, one usually asks a specific question they want help being answered, and with the help of their intuition, they pick a turned over card that they are drawn to. Tarot cards are used to connect with your subconscious. Usually the card you end up choosing ends up being what your subconscious is trying to tell you.

Growing up, my mother always used to talk about her Tarot cards, and she had stacks of them in her room. Every time she tried to do a reading for me, I brushed her off because I mistook it as a fortune telling. Tarot cards cannot accurately predict what will happen in the near or far future, but they do shed light on what you have to do to obtain the goals you have set for yourself.

For example, I can ask the question, "How can I attract love?" as opposed to, "Will I meet someone this month?" With this question, whatever card I pull, is a sign of how I can attract new love and I can envision my desired relationship and manifest it. Everyone has intuition or gut feeling, but many of us don't take the time to understand and listen to it. There have been numerous occasions where something doesn't feel right, and if I had listened to my intuition, I feel I would have been able to handle the situation better. Tarot card readings should not be taken too. It should act as calling upon our inner wisdom, or Higher Self, to act as a guide on how to improve ourselves and get in touch with our desires.

I highly recommend purchasing a deck of Tarot Cards and finding a quiet place to get in touch with your subconscious to help with any worries or problems in your life. You can do it with a friend or by yourself. In each Tarot Card deck, there is a booklet which explains what all the cards mean, and you should refer to it after pulling one. After every reading, I always feel more at ease and inspired to work towards living a positive, happy life, and I hope you do too!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
