Today’s Topic: It's also a good time to listen to your inner voice. In order to do this, take some time out for yourself and spend it in a quiet place. Once you're calm, listen to that voice. The advice it can give you is surprisingly right on target.
Take some time to look after your health. Retreats and vacations can be a big boost to your physical and emotional outlook, especially if you're near water. Travel with care. If you can't take a full-blown vacation, even a quiet afternoon would be great. Physically, a vacation allows you to rest. Emotionally, a rest will allow you to hear the advice that your inner voice can offer.

Mystic Love
Mark A Cella is a well known mystic and reader who began studying the esoteric arts at the age of six and started giving regular readings and valued insights since the age of fourteen in his native London. Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
Today’s Topic:
The Lovers
Finally, this card carries the meaning of choice, usually on the moral or ethical plane. The most familiar instance of such a choice, sadly, is the choice between your spouse and someone else with whom you have fallen in love. Alternatively, it could be between two possible partners, both of whom you love, but only one of whom would be best for you. Look inside, and turn to your unconscious for inspiration. Through it you can access the wisdom needed to make this choice properly, and for the good of all involved. Trust the counsel of your Inner Voice, and once you have made your decision, do not rescind it no matter how much opposition you face.

Loves Higher Powers
Mark A Cella is a well known mystic and reader who began studying the esoteric arts at the age of six and started giving regular readings and valued insights since the age of fourteen in his native London. Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
Today’s Topic:
The Lovers
The final meaning of the Lovers is perhaps best illustrated by the image of the card in the Rider-Waite deck, and some of its variants. This image shows the man looking at the woman, who in turn looks at the divine figure above them both. The man cannot see the angel, and he must trust the woman to see it for him. Likewise, the conscious mind (the man) cannot directly access Higher Powers (the angel), whatever you believe those are.
The unconscious (the woman) must be the bridge between the physical and spiritual planes. This symbology also shows the true power of love; as discussed on the Ten of Cups, through love we can get a glimpse of Heaven.

Lovers Air

Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
Today’s Topic: The Lovers
Air is the element which rules the Lovers, and we should therefore expect the majority of its meanings to be associated with the spirit and the mind. The notion of choice between positive and negative is first depicted on this card with the old symbology of a man deciding between two lovers. Such a moral crossroads is often shown by the Lovers card, which now tells us to consider all consequences before acting. The situation could be as simple as a fork in the road with two paths to choose between, or a much more complicated decision by which all of our strongest beliefs and ideals will be tested. In times of such difficult choice we clearly need high guidance.

More Love To Love
Mark A Cella is a well known mystic and reader who began studying the esoteric arts at the age of six and started giving regular readings and valued insights since the age of fourteen in his native London. Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
Today’s Topic:
The Lovers is predominantly a card of the emotions, and it often portrays love that is divinely blessed, either by Cupid, an angel, or by God Himself. This seems to imply that nothing but good can come of this union, though with such a dualistic card there is always the potential for a sad conclusion, despite the best of beginnings. After all, love is like a flame because it can ignite the blaze of passion, but also because it can consume and destroy if used carelessly. Love is a wonderful thing, but profane or unrequited love has the power to tear families and lives apart. The Lovers has within it the potential for such love and we must always be cautious of it.

Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
Today’s Topic:
The Lovers card is not just about love and sexuality; it has several meanings which are all related to the duality expressed in the image of the card. The image of the two lovers holding hands or intertwined is a powerful symbol for the harmonious union of two beings, but it also stands for the necessity of proper choice, and some interesting concepts about the relationship of our conscious minds to whatever power brings these lovers together. It should be apparent that, in our culture which has so many words and definitions for the simple emotion of love, the image of love as expressed in the Tarot can have so many meanings.

Great success and achievements will come to you if you master your passions and believe in the power of your will. Do not let anything distract or sway you from your goals, and proceed with the straight flight of an arrow. Nothing is beyond your ability if you believe in your own power. Abracadabra!

New Links To Tarot World!
Mark A Cella is a well known mystic and reader who began studying the esoteric arts at the age of six and started giving regular readings and valued insights since the age of fourteen in his native London. Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
Today’s Topic: Chariot Pt4
Through the application of emotional force we can learn to achieve our goals and desires much more quickly. For someone like the man on the Chariot, who is in total control of his will and his emotions, almost anything is within his grasp. In the Thoth deck, written across the canopy of the Chariot is the word Abracadabra, which may seem foolish at first glance. What is the stage magician's catchphrase doing here - is there magic involved? No, there is no magic. Abracadabra comes from Hebrew, and it translates roughly to "What I have said will be done" or "As it is said, so it shall be." Nothing embodies the spirit of the Chariot more than this word.

More Chariots Of Fire
Mark A Cella is a well known mystic and reader who began studying the esoteric arts at the age of six and started giving regular readings and valued insights since the age of fourteen in his native London. Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
Today’s Topic: Chariot Pt.5
It is somewhat of a mystery why the Chariot, clearly a card of force and of control, should be of the Water element. But its attribution to Cancer is indeed valid because this card deals heavily with the emotions. Specifically, the Chariot is a card of emotional control; the power of the mind to shape the desires of the heart and direct them to meaningful expression. This is not the emotional control of the Emperor, who totally supresses all of his emotions in favor of logic and reason. The man driving the Chariot knows that his emotions are not to be swept under the rug, but trained and used to his greater good.

Today’s Topic: Chariot Pt. 5
The appearance of the Chariot often shows a need to take control of your emotions and, instead of wasting energy grieving or complaining, use that energy to take action and to make changes in the world. Fear will cripple you unless, like the Chariot demands, you can acknowledge it and face it. Then you can use your fear constructively, for your own purposes. But this type of control is not limited to the negative emotions. In relationships the Chariot often shows how idle infatuation can be transformed into passion and confidence. Through controlling your emotions, the Chariot says, you will eventually learn to control yourself.

Today’s Topic: Chariot Pt. 3
The Chariot embodies the type of discipline that is necessary to gain control over the emotions, and this is why a military symbol has been chosen for this card. The purpose of the harsh conditions of the military is to develop the will and the ability needed to control emotions and put them to productive use on the battlefield. Only through the mastery of yourself can you ever hope to achieve mastery over others and your environment. The wisdom and the glory gained through conquering one's enemies is nothing compared to the self-esteem you build through defeating your fear. Inner enemies are often tougher to defeat than outer ones, and thus teach you much more.

Today’s Topic: Chariot Pt. 2
The triumph over both positive and negative emotions is often shown by two horses or sphinxes of different colors pulling the Chariot. Though on their own they would run wild and untamed, going in whichever direction they chose to go, here they move only forward. So they still have some power, but this power has now been directed and focused by the man holding the reins. The chariot cannot move without horses to pull it, just as we cannot function without our emotions to drive us. But without the control of the chariot, the horses would run free, just as our emotions can run wild when unchecked and uncontrolled. Balance is needed.

Today’s Topic: The Magician Pt. 6
When the Magician appears he shows that you are ready to become a conduit for power, like he is. The forces of creation and destruction have always been at your command but now you have the wisdom and confidence needed to use them constructively. Now is the time to act, if you know what is it you want to accomplish and why. Since the powers of transformation are at your command, change your desires into objectives, your thoughts into actions, your goals into achievements. If you have recently met with failure, now you can change that failure into success as easily as the Magician changes fire into water. The only limits you have are those you impose on yourself.

The Color Of Magic
Mark A Cella is a well known mystic and reader who began studying the esoteric arts at the age of six and started giving regular readings and valued insights since the age of fourteen in his native London. Over the next twenty-five years, he traveled the world giving private readings for powerful and influential celebrities and dignitaries as well as thousands and thousands of ordinary people from all walks of life.
Today: The Magician Pt. 4
Another nearly universal association with the Magician is the red-and-white color scheme. This theme recurs throughout the Tarot and it is very symbolic that it starts with this card and not the Fool. For while the Fool was the potential for positive and negative, the Magician is the union of positive and negative. He creates and he preserves; he destroys and he redeems. His true power is that he not only knows what he must do, but he knows how he must do it, and why he must do it. Then he does it. The Magician reminds us that a wish alone will change nothing, but a decision can change everything. A desire to create is nothing without an ability to create, and vice-versa.
