A Note from the Universe
As you’ve probably deduced by now, I don’t think in terms of reasonable or unreasonable, likely or unlikely, possible or impossible.
I merely figure out the “hows.”
Guess what that leaves you with?

Today’s Tarot: Monday:
The Emperor: You have extra protection today, but this is not a reason to act rashly or take extra risks. In fact, you may be called upon to protect someone else or to safeguard some progress or advantage that was recently gained. Have self-confidence in all situations but don’t take your safety for granted. Be willing to be responsible for those around you and win a lot of loyalty.
Today’s Tarot; Tuesday:
The Chariot: No matter how routine and ordinary you may feel about today’s duties and demands, you can bolster your spirit by remembering what inspires you. There are role models, ideals, dreams, and aspirations that can inform and improve even the simplest and most modest of your activities. Act with integrity and pride, and instill everything you do with that integrity and pride. Hold your head high.
