The energy of this time lends itself toward arguments; try to keep your temper under control, and not take everything that others say to heart too much. Sudden reversals can happen now. This is not an indicator that you need to panic. It is, however, an indicator that forewarned is forearmed. Even if you think that you have the most stable job or sources of income in the world, what would you do if it dried up tomorrow? Where might you go immediately for work if you needed to? Thinking things through now, when you are not in a crisis, may pay big dividends for you on down the road. If you hate your job, give serious thought to making a change. You deserve to be happy.

Complete Book of Tarot: Virtually every tarot teacher recommends keeping a tarot journal to record your impressions of the cards and the readings you do. Some people use a spiral-bound notebook, others prefer a loose-leaf binder that makes it easy to add pages and rearrange notes. If you prefer working at a computer, you can use a program like Evernote or Scrivener to keep track of your tarot information. If you want to go public, you might consider posting your notes on a tarot-oriented blog.

Elements of the Psychic World: Smoke ghosts have been reported in both Europe and the United States for many years. A famous story is that of a girl in the United States who was burned to death during the seventeenth century and her ghostly presence has ever since been recognized by the pungent odour of burning wood. In 1954 a sentry at the Tower of London reported a smoke cloud that moved on its own, changed shape and did not seem to diffuse or drift like ordinary smoke. When the man tried to follow the smoke it disappeared instantly.

Elements of the Psychic World: The ancient Greeks and Romans considered the crow to be a weather prophet and the raven is still regarded by the Greeks as a ‘thunderbird‘ because of its alleged ability to predict a storm. In Britain to find a dead crow on the road is considered to be a sign of good luck, while to find one in a churchyard is considered bad luck. In Wales, if one crow crosses your path it is good luck but if two cross it is a bad omen. In Scotland, a raven circling a house is thought to predict a death for someone in the house, while in England it is said that as long as ravens remain in the Tower of London the country will never fall to enemies. An old Irish saying is ‘to have raven’s knowledge’, meaning to have the ability to see and know all things. In Tibet, the raven is the messenger of the Supreme Being.
