For the past several months I’ve been keeping a journal. I typically wake up and give myself an oracle card reading. This satisfies me in two different ways: spiritually as well as mentally. My morning ritual is to get still, center myself, pray and then deal myself into this Game of Life.

My way is to deal out four cards in a North-South-East-West pattern with four tenets in mind. North equals Love. South equals Happiness. East is Joy. West is Fulfillment. I typically use Doreen Virtues, Goddesss Guidance cards but I have used others in the past.

Like so many people, I am a paradox. I am a politically conservative vegetarian. I am from a Christian background, and still tend to like those values, but am a metaphysical astrologer trained in science who has an interest in the magic of ancient Egypt and a weird belief that some piece of our essence can live on a server. I live in Texas, but like chatting with my international Wordpress pals the best. I learn by teaching. Technically, I am a "Leo," but I am very, very Aquarian with a dose of Scorpio. I bitterly complain about Algol (and Algol personaliites), yet it is the one star that defines me most (other than Regulus). (Which, oddly, makes me an Algol personality.) I am a reclusive lover of peace and quiet who has the Ascendant in the Via Combusta (the most conflict ridden part of the zodiac). I am an incredibly private person with a blog with over 800 followers and 50 to 150 regular daily visitors. I could go on, but I think you get the picture.
