Tarot - On the cards
This week, let us look at Ho’oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian practice known for the way it clears negativity from one’s mind and thought.
Chennai
Dr Joe Vitale, a renowned Ho’oponopono creator and practitioner says there are a large number of us who don’t have the luxury of enjoying peace, harmony, or joy forever in our lives. And this technique, Ho’oponopono has been specifically designed to remove all the stress and negativity from your mind. It is a simple method where you ask for forgiveness and purify yourself.
June 14 - 20
There are four phrases or steps in this practice that make you realise that you are responsible for everything that happens to you and that is in your mind. It repairs the relationship for the highest good. We often find it difficult to forgive people who have hurt us. It is important to release anger, resentment, hurt and unforgiveness.
Historically, this practice was only done by priests called Kahuna. Now anyone can benefit from this. Light a candle or an oil lamp. List the names of the people you have issues forgiving. Include even those people who have remotely irritated you. Include all the people whom you have hurt across lifetimes. Sometimes you will not know the names of the people you have hurt or who have hurt you in your past lives. Just mention as “everyone I have hurt across all dimensions of time.” And “everyone who has hurt me across all dimensions of time.”
Go through each of the names, mentally hold an image of the person in your mind and say: I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you. Do this two or three times with each person and each time you say thank you, exhale with your mouth. As though you are releasing that person and the grievance you had towards the person. Finish the entire list, your forgiveness session is done! Try, it really works!
ARIES (20 MARCH –20 APRIL)
You do need to plan for the future but do it with a sense of detachment. Because right now the uncertainty is the overriding feeling and there is only so much you can plan. The Three of Pentacles indicates that there are many things you would be thinking of doing in the days to come but you are doing it with caution. The Four of Pentacles shows that you will be careful about how you are going to spend the available financial resources at your disposal and whether more will come if you plan constructively. The Knight of Wands brings a breath of fresh air to all this with the concentration on the younger generation who will be actually defining how the world is going to turn out post-pandemic. This will be no less than a battle because there will be the replacement of old norms and ways of doing things. The younger ones will be those who will lay the path ahead.
TAURUS (20 APRIL – 21 MAY)
It is time to express more and more gratitude at a time like this. This comes through the card, Judgement where you will be in a self-introspection mode about how you have and can do for the welfare of mankind. This is indeed a crucial question to ponder about as so far you would have lived thinking about your needs and desires. But now is the time to think about actions that connect with the larger good and well-being. The Seven of Pentacles shows that you are not too badly off when it comes to money and what you have saved up. This brings to you a sense of security and feeling of well being even as you express concern for others less off than you and your increasing desire to do as much good as possible. Helping you with this desire is the Ace of Pentacles which shows that the more good you do the more you are supported by the Universe.
GEMINI (21 MAY – 21 JUNE)
Talk about a propitious time and here it is for most of those born under the sign of Gemini. This is relative of course, but this is indeed a time where many things or aspects of your life seem to be in order. The Wheel of Fortune brings with it a feeling of completion of many pending issues; so, if things had been down and out for a while you will begin to experience an upswing. The Ace of Cups meanwhile shows that you would have risen out of gloom and emotional state of being to that of victory and peace of sorts. It is almost as if you have been lifted out of this by the giant hand of fate and you will feel light and almost joyful. The Queen of Pentacles indicates that there is a lot of acceptance and harmony with the women in your life. The Gemini man cannot be centered if the female energies around him are in disharmony.
CANCER (21 JUNE – 23 JULY)
As much as you expect things to be fair and just, sometimes your ambition will get in the way of outcomes. This means that you feel you must win at all costs and will not look at the actions and intentions and you will feel that you have not got what you deserve. To remove this all you have to do is to perform your actions and not think about how you will be rewarded. Then you will be surprised how well you will do. The Justice card shows that with the right intention and motives you will be rewarded very well indeed. The Queen of Wands shows that there are a lot of emotions getting in the way of a job well done. Don’t allow that to come in the way of all your fire and ambitions. Basically, it means that if water and fire mix the fire will be doused. So take care to be calm and rational.
LEO (23 JULY –23 AUGUST)
A Leo is one who will have multiple ambitions, and this will sometimes lead to a feeling of being burdened – rather labouring under the weight of too many expectations of oneself. This can be very tiring apart from feeling misunderstood and alone. The Ten of Wands indicates this aspect of your personality at this point and the Five of Cups shows you a lonesome side of life. Both of these are not needed as you sift through the thoughts and ideas in your head to ensure that you take everything with ease and temperance. Here is where relationships especially the ones that are of the man, womankind will help ease the pressure. You are spending quality time with your partner or spouse and that is making you feel everything else does not play such a big role in your happiness.
VIRGO (23 AUGUST – 23 SEPTEMBER)
Everything seems to be about your mind this week- this is putting you through various stages of frustration and longing for what you want out of life. The Nine of Swords, the King of Swords and the Three of Swords will put you through the grind of overthinking. The frustration of life not going the way you want; the attempt to assess the leadership and strength of male energy and the cold clear thinking about what is possible and what is not. You are very clear that some things are simply not possible now and that is represented by the three of swords. It is not to your liking but there it is. The King of Swords shows that for a Virgo woman she longs for this presence to act as a guide and mentor through her trials and tribulations; and then the Nine of Swords which is bringing the reality of falling short of expectations.
LIBRA (23 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER)
Most Libran women will be on top of things in the coming week. Things will feel more controlled and for those who are working, there are going to be more opportunities and money power coming. The Queen of Pentacles assures this and you must be able to take the opportunities as they come. For men, this could be a time where they are overtaken by women power – at home and work. Accept this and work with this powerhouse and you will benefit largely. The Hermit comes to show that because of this great strength bestowed upon you there could be a feeling of being very isolated and alone. This is not something to feel bad about because this will only enhance the grace of the Divine which you will be able to see more clearly without all the noise.
SCORPIO (23 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER)
Right now, most of you are enjoying family time and spending more and more time with your loved ones. This is not to say there will not be friction but by and large, this is a good time when it comes to personal relationships. The Nine of Cups brings this aspect to the fore. However, sometimes the friction is in the work area when you have multiple creative ideas and you are not able to do all of them at once. This could also be the influence of others in the same field where you will try to emerge as the best one. That can cause immense stress. And you will have plenty of inner conflicts that can permeate through a happy home environment and make things unpleasant. This is brought about by the Seven of Wands and the Two of Pentacles will add slightly to the stress about earnings and what to do with the existing resources available to you at this time.
SAGITTARIUS (22 NOVEMBER –22 DECEMBER)
Everything is pointing to a good week – work, knowledge and strength. The three cards, The Star, The High Priestess and Strength are all pointing to one thing; that you have all the resources to take you through all kinds of situations and emerge as a winner. For if you allow yourself to see yourself as a very accomplished person, then there is that inner wisdom to do the right thing which also requires great strength. You are likely to be in the limelight in your area of work and there will be accolades and recognition coming your way. It also shows that there will be opportunities to study and learn new things and you will need to put your mind to it. This is a great chance to enhance your skills and for that, you will need to put aside all distractions.
CAPRICORN (22 DECEMBER – 20 JANUARY)
Women born under this sign are likely to undergo some emotional decisions when it comes to work. Career choices will be in question and you will be wondering if you are doing the right thing when it comes to your ambitions and dreams. Am I going in the right direction?, should I be doing something different? are some questions you will be thinking about. The Queen of Wands prompts such lines of thinking, while the Knight of Cups will see many younger lot going forward looking at new areas of work and conquests. There are chances of travel and crossing seas and rivers metaphorically speaking and these journeys will bring with them a new way of thinking and responding to situations, etc.
AQUARIUS (20 JANUARY –18 FEBRUARY)
It is time for doing great good to the society at large and if you can donate to good causes, then this is really the time when you will also benefit from such actions. The Six of Pentacles shows that you will also be in a mood to give generously of your resources. Yet at the same time, you will be cautious because there is always the feeling that you could go short on this aspect. So you will hold your cards very close to your chest and not let anyone know how much you really have. As indicated by the Four of Pentacles. You could be doing this even with your loved ones. You will however be looking at avenues for investing — preferably real estate. However, they do not have unrealistic expectations of these investments yielding too many dividends. This is because the economy itself is in a precarious position. The Seven of Cups shows things as illusions and you should not fall for grand-sounding schemes.
PISCES (18 FEBRUARY –20 MARCH)
Most of those born under this sign will be influenced by strong men who will make most of the financial as well as emotional issues. The men too will be under such influences. The King of Cups shows that there is not going to be much room to yield to emotional pressures as the men in your life are not going to have the patience to understand them. Meanwhile, plans are being made for future actions – could be house, company or any other asset-building activities. The Three of Pentacles is an indication of that. It also shows that in your head, you would either like to buy a new property or rebuild the one you are using right now. There could be a lot of renovation plans running through your mind now. The Ace of Swords will give you clarity about all these things and you will start laying down plans.
