Back writing on the blog after a little over 3 years, in the most interesting year of my life so far! The most interesting year of anyone who is alive on Earth right now actually: 2020, the year beyond time – as one of my favourite astrologer calls it.   I’ve lived these past 3 years intensely, grew a lot, expanded and learned a lot so that now I feel the need to share again, with you guys. Hence the (re-)initiation. Or in other words: the new beginning. Goes well with the theme of the year right? And of the changes that the world is undergoing…   And … Continue reading

Tarot reading: Am I close to finding my soul-mate?

The question I received from E. is: Am I close to finding my soul-mate? Thank you for your question E.! Now, before we start the reading, I would like to remind you that my tarot readings are for clarifying a  present moment or situation. You can read more about my approach on tarot here. I would like to note that your question is well put, so here we go with laying the cards: Setting the intention for each role of the pulled out cards and using intuition, the arcana are as follows: O The Fool – it represents you: this arcanum tells about a new beginning!

How to become a millionaire…

What is your relationship with money, I ask you? Do you think money is evil? Or dirty? Or that you have to work really hard for it? This article is presenting an alternative view on money and fortune and prosperity altogether, that might challenge you… If you believe money is dirty or evil, you might be in a serious difficult relationship with money and this might explain why you don’t have that much of them: you focus on the lack, instead of on the want, on the desire and most importantly the solution for getting them! Some people separate money from spirituality, but if we were to look into the Holy Bible, a lot of the main characters there, trustworthy, spiritual, firm believers in God, were kings and queens, masters and highly looked upon wealthy leaders. And this is my observation, but don’t take my word for it!! Research for … Continue reading

I acknowledge your pain. I’m here with you.

  I confess: I am an adherent of the everything happens for a reason theory. I believe that there is a divine force and natural laws (different than the ones chosen by people) that guide the planet and the universe… Throughout my life, just like anybody else on this planet, I’ve been through the very colorful range of emotions, from the darkest to the lightest, and it was not always easy for me to see the meaning of things. Sometimes I saw it years later, I could connect the dots only looking back; other times I couldn’t see it and I still don’t… and now I truly understand: we don’t have to know. It seems that the general purpose of life, regardless of what might we call them individually, is to just live life, being present. Living life and being vulnerable and exposed. But now, especially after the very unfortunate … Continue reading

Tarot reading: holding on to my relationship

I recently received a question for the tarot cards, a question from E., who writes:  “Should I hold on to the relationship I am currently in? Does it make sense to be patient and invest further in it?”. Now, it might look like two questions, but I believe that the second one stands out as a bit of a clarification of E.’s situation. Once I understood the question I laid the cards, which look like in the photo below: So, dear E., as always, I used my intuition in drawing the cards and in doing the actual tarot reading, as follows: The first one, on top left, represents you, your positioning in your current relationship at this moment: IV the Emperor – this shows that you are passing your current relationship through a rational-materialistic filter, as you know pretty much what your concrete, material needs are, and you don’t seem … Continue reading

Is being grateful a good way to spend your day? (part II)

So, you’ve probably read my previous post here, but you are not yet convinced? You are not sure what is this gratefulness thing all about? Waste no other second and watch the following TED talk with Brother David Steindl-Rast! “ A grateful world is a world of joyful people. Grateful people are joyful people, and joyful people — the more and more joyful people there are, the more and more we’ll have a joyful world. We have a network for grateful living, and it has mushroomed. We couldn’t understand why it mushroomed. We have an opportunity for people to light a candle when they are grateful for something. And there have been 15 million candles lit in one decade. People are becoming aware that a grateful world is a happy world, and we all have the opportunity by the simple stop, look, go, to transform the world, to make it … Continue reading

Tarot reading: what about my current work project?

I received a request for a tarot reading from G., asking about two current projects that he is working on. Since the question was really clear I made two layouts for each project. First project: The clarification card pulled was the Fool, number 0 – that means that the project is finishing, something else is about to start over again, but by the state of the character on the card we can say that it is not necessarily going to finish as G. expects. He might not receive the whole commission agreed on this one for example! But for sure, this project will soon be left behind, going into a new adventure. Second project: G. drew several clarification cards, just as many as he felt like. First card: XVIII the Moon – it is telling G. that there are information that he doesn’t possess. He doesn’t have a clear picture … Continue reading

Tarot reading: finding romantic love

Recently I received a tarot reading request on the topic of finding romantic love. The question I received from C. is exactly like this: Which are the blockages that don’t let me live a true, romantic love? Thank you for your question C.! Now, before we start the reading, I would like to remind you that my tarot readings are for clarifying situation in the present moment and not for giving advice. You can read more about my approach on tarot here. Now, before I begin, I would like to note that your question is well put, except it draws attention on one aspect that depends pretty much on you: how do you define true romantic love. Because it might be possible that how I define it is different than how you define it. Just remember that all is up to you and your personal belief system! But let’s see … Continue reading

9 months living in the most Muslim country in the world

It’s exactly today my 9 months anniversary of living in Indonesia. Time flies by. I felt a bit afraid, afraid and excited, before first stepping foot here. I knew so little about Indonesia. My time was short to do any research on it and when I did have a little time I preferred to keep away form creating any prejudiced or stereotyped impressions from books or any media. Personal experience with an open heart and an open mind is always what I choose. Flying here I had a 6 hour layover in Abu Dhabi. That was actually my first real contact with an Islamic country. Sitting just in the airport, observing the people. Further on, reaching Indonesia, I could just feel that the Muslims of Indonesia are different than the Muslims of the United Arab Emirates. Later I found out that there are some actual formal differences in the Muslim … Continue reading
