One activity, based on The Hanged Man, is called Cliffhangers. The play date requires a television, pencil and paper, and discovering what will happen on the next episode of your favorite show.

Sound fun?

Based on the last Episode of Awake, aired May 3rd. Warning: Possible Spoilers.

Season One, Episode 10: Britten and Bird size up a possible case of gang violence. Before long, clues from Britten's parallel realm force him to give the case a harder look. Elsewhere, Hannah offers a helping hand to Rex's girlfriend; Capt. Harper can't fulfill a promise; and Vega puts Britten's going-away party into motion.

Story-lines:

Grandparents: Will Britten and Hannah find a way to keep their soon-to-arrive grandchild nearby?
Reality: Will Britten discover which of his realities is real?
Danger: Will Capt. Harper succeed in keeping Britten safe, or is danger on its way?

Grandparents: 10 Wheel of Fortune - destiny, a new phase - The arrival of their grandchild is a part of a bigger plan for these two. They will indeed succeed in being a part of the child's life and it will lead these two into the next journey in their relationship. What brings two people together more than a new child, even if it does come with the attachment of a new girl and her growling parents?

Reality: 6 of Pentacles (reversed) - refusal to share - Britten will continue to hang on to his two realities, at least for another episode. He's determined to make this work for him, and refuses to let anything shatter his illusion.

Danger: 6 The Lovers - choices, relationships - Capt. Harper will do her best to protect Britten, and may even be willing to sacrifice herself and the truths she hides. Overall, this is a good woman, who just happens to have stepped into some dark areas. Britten is important to her, and she will step as close to the edge as she can to keep him and his family safe. If it is enough, remains to be seen.

Tune in tonight to discover if these predictions ring true. Have a wonderful evening.

Four of Pentacles - Reflections


The Four of Pentacles is the financially secure card.

As I look upon the four of pentacles, from the Crystal Visions Tarot deck, I have a passing thought of Scrooge. The woman holds tightly to the pentacles, determined to not let go.

What she doesn't notice is the wealth of fruit on the apple tree, the beautiful crystals and stones, and the golden stack of coins below her. She has no reason at all to hold on so tightly, her wealth is abundant. She can relax.

This card suggests you adjust your focus. Spending too much time worrying about what could be lost may keep one from gaining.

You can almost see 'The Fool' approaching this young lady and giving her a lesson in taking the giant leap of faith. She should allow herself to leave her possessions, if only to gain more possessions, but also to gain knowledge, love, and to live life.

Titania's Fortune Cards - 7 card layout

The Titania's Fortune Cards are based on the Mlle. Lenormand's Fortune Telling Cards.

Image and Reviews available at Aeclectic Tarot.

Let's see what the cards reveal in a 7 card layout.

The letter represents the arrival of good news.

The flowers represent happiness.

When next to the letter, the flowers indicate an invitation.

The whip represents strife and quarrels. The card beside will specify the area.

When the flower falls next to the whip, it reduces the severity.

The woman represents an important woman, or the female questioner.

When the woman is next to the whip, she will cause conflict.

The cross is the card of destiny. It points to the area most important to the questioner.

The road indicates a new path, a new direction, or change the questioner is taking or is about to take.

The clover is the luck card. The questioner is protected, as if by magic.

The clover next to the road indicates a trip will turn out well.

A review: The letter/flowers together show an invitation. The whip/woman together show a conflict reduced by the presence of the flowers. The cross/road/clover show a destined path which turns out well.

Reading from left to right: An invitation, from a woman, arrives and causes a mild conflict. This event sends the questioner down a new path, which is both protected and destined.
