What the hezmana do I mean by that? I'll save ya the click... 😊
Rabbit Rabbit comes from a tradition in New England, inherited from Old England, that if “rabbit rabbit” is the first thing to cross your lips on the first morning of each month, you and yours will jump into the future with good fortune and a renewed sense of possibility. (from Rabbit Rabbit Radio)

Now here's my reading for the upcoming week (beginning today, May 1st, 2018) ...
Happy Tarot Tuesday, Steemians!
Here's a brief bit on how I put this reading together every week -
I use my very old & extremely well-loved Universal Waite Smith Tarot Deck to draw the cards. Then, because the cards are definitely not ready for their closeup, I photograph the cards using my stand-in Radiant Deck. Oh, and yes - it's a new picture of the back of the cards every week.

Now for the reading ! It works like this - pick the card (or cards) that you're drawn to, then scroll to the bottom of this post for the card reveal and my short interpretation of what to expect in the upcoming week. If more than one strikes your fancy, go for it! In fact, I've been told there are some who pick all three cards each week, and use this as a mini past/present/future reading! 😊
Now that you've picked your card (or cards), as I said, you'll need to scroll to the bottom of the post for the big reveal.
As you're scrolling through, please enjoy this amazing song, written and performed by @trevorpetrie. I'm not exactly sure how I ended up bookmarking this song in my "Steemit Favorite Songs" but as soon as I started re-listening to it (with an ear to how well it fit this week's post), I knew this was the one. However, since this post is wicked old (by Steemit standards), please consider hopping on the post Imaginative play - a trip to the beach to show the new-dad-for-a-second-time some appreciation for his awesome talent!
"Many times I wonder I've come to not hear you reach the bottom A voice , like a feeling Movement , things have movement Like a blow , like a rain ~ Music and lyrics by Trevor Petrie
what are we doing here?
I stop thinking and I realize in the end
you will always , always be in me.
such immensity , lost in our truth over here
because you will always , always be in me.
a song, or something else
that helps me wake up
to keep up , not let the guard down
to always go forward
don't wait , I won't teach you how to live.
the opportunity to be in liberty
because you will always , always be in me.
like a ray of the moon
you'll breathe into my life, until it explodes
because you will always , always be in me."
Now, here's the moment you've been waiting for! Your message is...
Drum roll please?

This!
1. Four of Cups
Rethink your situation. You're not happy with the way things are. In fact, you're so focused on the things you wish you had, that you don't see the very thing you want being offered to you. Take a step back and think about how you're viewing the situation - stop sulking about what could have been, or what you might have had, and start appreciating what is, and the blessings you might not even recognize. And while this applies to all situations in your life, not just romantic ones, I think Survivor sums it up nicely with, "I was living for a dream, loving for a moment. Taking on the world, that was just my style. Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever. The search is over, you were with me all the while."
2. Six of Wands
You did it! You had a rough go of it, and tons of competition (not to mention complications), but you pulled it off. However, you're feeling a bit like William Thatcher/Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein - either you feel someone else is getting the credit (in William's case, his alias), or maybe you don't feel you're worthy. You totally kicked butt, and it's time to own it! Stand tall and appreciate what you accomplished – you did yourself proud! Keep in mind what was said in the movie ...
"Young William Thacher: Some day, I'll be a knight.
Man in Stocks: A Thachers son? A knight? You might as well try to change the stars!
Young William Thacher: Can it be done father? Can a man change the stars?
John Thatcher: Yes William. If he believes enough, a man can do anything.
3. The Star
Make a wish. You've been to hell and back, but now is the time to put that all behind you. While you can't (and shouldn't) erase all the memories of the bad times, it's within your power to make a positive change for the future. Remember, sometimes luck ain't enough, you've got to make your own breaks. Look at the twinkling light in the darkness, close your eyes, and see your wish as already manifested. Can’t find the light? Pick up the closest mirror – this card is also a reminder that the one who is responsible for bringing the most light into our lives is ourselves.

Bright blessings to you in the week ahead!

Awesomeness, @intuitivejakob! And you're very welcome!
You an interesting girl @traciyork {smile}. As youngsters in the early 80's we all knew about tarot cards and ouija boards .... and spent a lot of time doing spirit writing etc. The things we get up to when there are no digital distractions .......
LOL! Yep, I've heard the word, "interesting" being used about me before - usually by people backing up slowly... 😂
And yes, I loved all that spooky stuff, but technically I was a youngster in the 70s. By the early 80s, I was in college, and had traded my spirit writing for writing whilst drinking spirits...
Hahaha...'usually while backing up'...probably making the 'sign' in front of their faces.

I got the six of wands this week @traciyork. Sounds like I need to focus on what I've achieved so far rather than comparing myself with others who appear to be doing better! 😁
Yep, I could probably use a little of that myself, @gillianpearce! 😊
