Tarot
Etiquette
and Social
Media
by Fiona Benjamin

How do you speak to someone, who is unfamiliar with tarot, in


a professional manner? How do you handle being driven out
of a fair due to intolerance? What can we, as a whole tarot
community, do to raise awareness of what we are doing?

I
am part of several tarot related communities within social media,
mainly Facebook, and I cannot help but always notice that there is
some sort of divide within the community. I want to touch upon
some of the major issues that I personally have a problem with when it
comes to social media.

Understand that not everyone is going to agree with your interpretation


of the spread. If you do not agree with the spread, explain yourself and be
mindful of the words you use.
This boils down to respecting one another as a reader. If you are going to
post your readings up on social media, of course fellow readers are going
to be curious and try to decipher the meaning behind the cards that you
pulled for yourself. If you are asking for help with interpretations, allow
yourself to see the information with open eyes and an open heart. You
will get nothing out of just listening to people praise you and reaffirm
what you already know. Learning occurs when you are able to gain extra
information of a spread and view your spread in other perspectives that
you missed to begin with. Even as a professional tarot reader, I adore

that they have almost constant contact with their
team and that this team leads their spirit photography
and other ITC experiments and EVPs. It has been
mentioned in some literature that Konstantin Raudive
who had worked so hard his entire life in ITC
communications is said, by some, to now be part of
TIMESTREAM SPIRIT TEAM since his death.

These groups of Spirits Teams are ever evolving


and are sharing information with us as well as other
dimensions within the Universe. It is also said that
HIGHER BEINGS oversee this work that is shared
with humanity through these Spirit Teams and they are
constantly evolving bringing a clearer understanding
of how our two worlds could work in union as one for
a better understanding of the afterlife.

ITC and the Angelic Helpers

Spirit is everywhere we are. There is HELP


everywhere within this Universe for each of us.
There is NO place that spirit is not and no one that

the literal vibration between the experimenter and the


Helpers must be compatible for any real connection
to take place. A network of energy is always at work
while communications are taking place within our
experiments, After Practice and daily work with
ITC imagery and/or ITC Techniques the connection
with your Helpers becomes stronger over time
and trust is built slowly and methodically . Spirit is
very intelligent and knows your intentions. Working
steadily helps to achieve very good results in the world
of SPIRIT IMAGERY building a strong bridge in
which to communicate in the future in positive ways.

Many of our experimenters speak of SPIRIT


STATIONS that are in constant communications with
them sharing future work or information regarding
the spirit world. Anabela Cardoso speaks of the RIO

helped her ITC work progress. One of the most

Archangel Michael as I work with water Imagery for
his protection and his guidance as well as my personal
Angels. ALL Archangels are Helpers and are able
to be in more than one place at any time. Angels are
asked into each session. The water used before I work
is always prayed over and then blessed before we

this trust grows stronger the more we work together.

to make sense of things. But their is the added benefit of forcing you to look at things differently.
Perhaps its Universes way of telling you its time to get out of your left brain you Geminis love
your facts figures and details and the explore the right for awhile. Speaking of that retrograde,
it starts on in your money sector giving you incentive to pay better attention to your finances
and back into your sign on the 17th. Even though its moving backwards, its forming mostly harmonious
aspects for the entire month. In the meantime, a grand trine between Jupiter, Saturn and Chiron, is spanning
your work and money sectors. While all is not perfect in these areas (for one thing Saturn is still retrograde),
youd be wise to focus your attention on developing your brand. Steer clear of any speculative ventures,
particularly the last two weeks of the month. The Full Moon in your relationship sector on the 12th should shine
a spotlight on your love life. If youre going to take a gamble ,do it there and leave your money in the bank.

Cancer June 22-July 23: You start the month with Mercury in your sign and a beautiful Moon
/ Jupiter conjunction (also in Cancer) lighting up the Night Sky. If you can keep this image in
your mind this month youll stand a good chance of staying out of your own way. Things start
out good. But then Mercury goes retrograde in your sign (on the 7th) and moves into your 12th
house on the 17th. From this point forward, things get tricky. Misunderstandings can cause you
to jump to conclusions or make assumptions based on misinformation. Until you have all the
Spring Issue 55
assume that youre right and everyone else is wrong. This is especially important regarding family members and
relationship partners. An opposition between Venus and Saturn on the 12th could see you clinging too tightly
to someone who wants to put you in the friend zone. If youre presently involved and notice that your partner
seems aloof and disconnected, dont make it worse by pushing for intimacy. Take a step back at least until the
18th, when Venus and Jupiter shift things back into sync.

Leo July 24-August 23: You want to make room in your calendar this month for unexpected
opportunities to arise, both in the love and the friendship departments. For starters, the Sun (your
ruler) is moving through your friendship sector for the first few weeks of June. Add to that both
Mercury and Venus making appearances throughout the month and the Full Moon stretching over
into your romance sector on the 12th, and youve got the makings of a full social calendar. An old
friend may pop back into your life around the 17th, or reach out to you unexpectedly. A new friend
(or new romantic interest) could pop in around the 23rd. With Jupiter squaring the Nodes that day, be mindful
though of what youre getting yourself into. As Jupiter rules your romance sector and the Nodes are linked to
fate, you want to be conscious of the karmic implications of any connection you develop. Your career should
be moving in a good direction for the better part of the month. Everything comes out in the open then. Dont let
yourself get caught up in someone elses drama and definitely dont let yourself be the fall guy for someone elses
screw up.

Virgo August 24-September 22: You could be feeling stretched to your limits this month with
so much going on for you in the money, work and professional arenas. This is not a bad thing
(for you anyway). You feel most alive when youre being productive and getting things done, even
as one priority takes the place of another as soon as you cross it off your list. Whats potentially
taxing for you though is all of the other obligations family, friends, people who barely know you
who reach for your assistance and expertise anyway these are the added stressors that youre going to have to
find a way to make time for. Relationships will probably take the biggest hit. With both your relationship rulers
going retrograde between the 7th and 9th, it may be easier for you to put them on the back burner for now. In
the meantime, the Full Moon stretches across your career and home sectors on the 12th, with Pluto and Mars
butting heads the following day. You could be spending money as quickly as you make it on repairs around
the home.
Libra September 23-October 22: You should be getting your ducks in a row right now as far
as your career goals go. Whether youre consciously thinking about changing jobs, or just day-
dreaming about where you might see yourself a few years down the road, the planets are favorably
aligned for you to start doing something about it now. Maybe you just need to dust off your
resume. Or maybe youre seriously entertaining the idea of changing careers. Either way you want
to work on being ready for opportunities as they arise. With Mercury retrograding on the 7th,
you may not want to make an actual change right now. But its an excellent time to send out feelers, particularly
to those youve had dealings with in the past. You can make important connections during this time that will
reverberate into professional opportunities for months to come.

Scorpio October 23-November 22: Love is in the air for you this month, thanks to a nice
Venus transit (and several nice Venus aspects) in your relationship sector. Venus is in its own
sign, and as your relationship ruler, its also in its own house. What this means for you is that
even while other areas of your life may feel like theyre falling apart, you can count on your
relationships to provide you with a safe haven. This doesnt mean you should be putting your
relationships to the test. That will backfire on you big time, especially around the 13th and 14th when both of
your relationship rulers take hits. You may have to stop yourself from reverting back into fight or flight mode
which is customary for you. Things smooth out again around the 18th, again thanks to Venus and this time a
nice contact from Jupiter. If youre not currently involved, you may be surprised to hear from a voice from the
past.

Sagittarius November 23-December 20: With Jupiter (your ruler) moving through your 8th
house (the area associated with joint resources and other peoples money), youll be focusing on
your financial situation for the better part of the month. You may want to pool all your resources
together and find ways to make them work: through investments, or a high yield savings account
for example. Because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and considered lucky, money may also come
to you through unexpected sources. But be careful: youre also known for your generosity and may see a sudden
influx of friends hitting you up for a loan. This is not only not the time to be lending friends money, its also
not the best time to try to call in old debts. No matter what kind of currency youre talking about. Speaking of
friends, things could get heated with one or more of them this month, A minor tiff can escalate into an all-out
war if youre not careful. Misunderstandings are more likely during a Mercury retrograde. Cutting a fair-weather
friend out of your life may be just what the doctor ordered, but be sure its not something youll regret down the
road.

Capricorn December 21-January 20: This month youre going to be thinking about revisiting
an old career plan and breathing new life into it. Maybe youre stuck in some kind of limbo at
work, or maybe youve grown so accustomed to just punching in that youve forgotten your
original goals. If so now is the time to dust them off and work on bringing them up to date. With
your ruler in mutual reception with Pluto joining together the sectors related to your drives
and your ideals now is an excellent time to think about bringing them together in real life. Mars moving
through your career sector ought to be telling you right now what you dont like about your current gig. But
what about what you do like? You may have established yourself in your career and see no reason to make a
change. But this isnt about changing jobs (necessarily) its about reigniting the passion you once had for your
job and turning it into a calling. Saturn and Pluto are both retrograde all month, so its not the time to act. Its the
time to review, revisit and revise.

Aquarius January 21-February 19: This month its going to be about work and making
money with a little bit of health thrown in for good measure. With Saturn, Chiron and Jupiter
spanning your professional and financial sectors (in a loose grand trine) for the better part of the
month, these areas should all be relatively in sync.You dont want to rest on your laurels though,
because there are a few bumps in the road A potential business rival may try to undermine
your success. The Mars / Uranus aspect on the 24th relates more to communications,
both written and verbal. In this scenario having a disagreement with someone or just not seeing eye to eye is
more likely. JThe good news this month is that with Venus moving into your romance sector on the 23rd (will
potentially bring in a new love interest), you couldnt start a moment too soon.

Pisces February 20-March 20: The focus for you this month will be on home and family
including extended family and close friends. Parents, siblings and children all feature
prominently, with all of your personal planets but Mars moving through these three sectors.
While you may want to stay closer to home this month, that doesnt mean youll be alone. Youll
be busy socializing, interacting and even entertaining on your own turf. Youll have opportunities to showcase
your talents in your neighborhood or community. Dont be surprised if someone resurfaces from your past.
It wont be about rekindling an old romance if they do; it will be more about tying up lose ends and resolving
old hurts. A lot of healing can done there so dont let this opportunity pass you by. The New Moon on the 27th
falls in your 5th house the sector related to creativity, self-expression, children and yes romance. If youre in
the market for a new love interest, thats the time to start looking. And if youre already involved, see it as an
opportunity to renew and replenish. Your focus this month though should be more about your relationship with
yourself and with those you consider family. In the end theyre the ones who know you inside and out, and have
decided to keep you around anyway.

revolutionary new
approach to learning
Tarot cards fast
A quicker, better, easier way to learn thatll have you confi-
dently reading the cards for fun and profit faster than you ever
thought possible

Its no secret that learning and being able to actually remember


the intricate meanings of all the 78 cards in a Tarot deck is notoriously
difficult
In fact, its the number one reason why people who dream of reading the
Tarot give up on the idea altogether.
And thats a real shame because right now with our creaking world
economies producing personal difficulties for so many people, and with
More and more people desperately seeking guidance on their futures
from psychics, seers and card readers
it means there simply arent enough readers with the right training to
meet this steadily increasing demand.

Where do you find the


right training?
Well, there are plenty of books on the subject you might
even have one or two yourself and some are very good,
if not a little overwhelming.
Then theres training courses you can attend your local
college may run night school classes, or an existing Tarot
card reader may teach you privately.
Or you can buy your own pack of cards and try learning
from the little instruction booklet that comes with it.
And yes, these are all valid ways of learning the Tarot.
But they all have one major stumbling block
Youve still got to actually sit down, study, learn and then This course is only

And, as you can probably imagine, this is no mean feat
in fact it can literally take weeks, maybe months, of hard
