7 of Wands: My 2023 Tarot Card of the Year!

Posted by Gabby Turner on Monday, December 26, 2022, In : Tarot 

Every year for the past few years I have chosen one singular tarot card to serve as a lesson, guide, or indication of important themes/experiences I would encounter in the year to come. For 2023, that card is the 7 of Wands.


Hmm. Well it isn’t exactly promising, like the Wheel of Fortune. The 7 of Wands indicates a need to maintain ground gained. In other words, guard against situations/people who might threaten to topple whatever I have built.


The 7’s are all SPIRITUAL LESSON cards, t...

We Are Family: You Can't Choose Your Family, but You Can Choose to Love the Ones You're With

Posted by Gabby Turner on Thursday, September 6, 2012, In : Tarot 
After two months sans-blogging I had started to feel the craving for a good, keyboard-tapping entry! Not sure what to write about though I consulted the tarot for guidance. Initially I pulled the Lovers card. What should I say about LOVE? I asked, and pulled the 10 of cups and the 6 of Swords for clarification.
The Lovers card is of course about relationship and love. In this reading it is clarified by the 10 of Cups (the happy family card) and the 6 of Swords (the painful healing of relatio...

Your Uphill Journey on the Wheel of Fortune

Posted by Gabby Turner on Sunday, May 22, 2011, In : Tarot 
     One of the beautiful things about using Tarot, other than the fact that it allows many people to tap into intuitive wisdom and guidance, is the fact that each card depicts an archetypal life-truth. Understanding these archetypes helps us to understand the meaning of our own existence. We are all the Fool at various points of our lives, for instance... all blindly embarking on new paths, our arms open to whatever may come. But while cards like the Fool may appear for us temporarily at dif...

Be a Fool: Open Yourself to all of Your Potential!

Posted by Gabby Turner on Saturday, January 29, 2011, In : Tarot 
"Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."--Franklin D. Roosevelt

    This morning I had a client who kept receiving the Fool card reversed. She was scared of many things, afraid to move forward with business plans that the cards indicated would actually be quite profitable, afraid to charge a fair price for her services for fear that people would...

5 of Wands: Just One of those $@*&#%! Days

Posted by Gabby Turner on Thursday, January 6, 2011, In : Tarot 

    5 of Wands from Druiden Tarot
   Today has just been one of those days.  You know what "those days" are.  You've had them.  Hell, you might even be having one today.  All day I kept thinking, "this is certainly a 10 of Swords" kind of day, but I asked the cards and they insisted it was just a 5 of Wands day.  ;)  I have seen this card show itself in a few different ways in the readings I do for clients, but it all boils down to this: This problem is a MOLE HILL, so please do not make it in...

The 8 of Cups: Catching the Train You Didn't Know You Wanted to Take

Posted by Gabby Turner on Saturday, January 1, 2011, In : Tarot 
    Carl Jung, famous psychologist and ultimate bad-ass, believed that we all share a collective unconscious and that Tarot, among other systems of divination, presents a way to tap into those collective archetypal memories/experiences/and knowledge.

 8 of Cups by artist Michael Goepferd

     So, buried down deep in the beautiful swamp that is the collective unconscious lives the energy of the 8 of Cups. The most well-known and widely-used image for this card comes from the Rider-Waite-S...
