Does the image of the Grim Reaper bring a tightness to your stomach? Look at that full Moon behind it and stars around it. Sensing the finality?Death represents an end and a new beginning. Today, we saw the Dow Jones lose over 500 points. Don't we all hope this is the end of the bad news in the financial sector. There is a lot of pain in our economy and pockets.
I spoke about Death on the 4th of September as it had appeared in the message for that Sunday. Stay tuned, I'll get it posted.
What kind of change called Death are you facing today?
Death is the cause of many to weep and feel sad. Trauma can be and ending, it can also be a great awakening. It drives us inside our self. We shut out all the noise and everything when we go so deep. There we find our Soul and connection with the Divine.
The Death card is about coping with discouragement, frustration, lack of physical energy and enthusiasm. There may be a need for rest or a change.
There is great value in meditation and quiet. This is a time of tenderness and vulnerability.
The Big Wish is the Card of Fulfillment. What is desired most is granted, conditioned by the other two cards. In this case, there is a sense of divorce or relationship ending. There can be an end of abuse. Things have come together.
There are many little wishes being fulfilled as well.
Another way we look at this card is that it says: "YES", when you have a yes/no question.
For a special girl I know, the 13th year has ended and the 14th has begun. May she have her big wish on her birthday and all the little ones too. With lots of love.
You are loved and blessed.

WHAT ARE WE WITNESSING IN THE FINANCIAL MARKETS?
The bankruptcies of investment brokerages and banks that have taken place, and others that will likely follow, are not the problem!!!! They are corrections to problems that have been developing for at least a decade or two.
The root of the problem is not financial. It is human. Several years ago Michael Douglas played the part of a businessman who bought and sold companies for his own benefit and not to run them with sound business practices. His most famous line in the movie was his defense at a shareholder meeting saying "Greed is good".
That statement has been playing out at various levels, for many years, in real life.
It is the greed of corporate executives using unsound practices in order to justify multi million dollar salaries, bonuses and benefits. It is greed of elected officials who, influenced by lobbyists and campaign contribution from special interest groups, vote to keep themselves in power. It is the greed of citizens who cast their vote for which ever candidate promises them the greatest benefits.
It is the government propping up the economy after the dot com bubble with tons of cheap money to encourage growth in the housing industry because every house sold is the potential for sale also of appliances and other improvement products. It is bonding companies giving favorable treatment to bond issues in order to earn fees. It is the real estate and sales industry encouraging and making it possible for people to buy houses they cannot afford on terms they do not understand. It is the consumer
buying stuff they do not need and cannot afford, believing that wages will continue to increase, and the value of property will gain. It is a pervasive culture of greed that says "I owe it to myself and my family" and "spending is good but saving is not".
Now the financial mismanagement that has taken place is like "chickens coming home to roost". And anyone who has ever raised chickens (I have) know what a mess of (insert your own word) they leave that has to be shoveled out before the cages can be cleaned.
This may be the most financially challenging time in the past 50 or 60 years but it is not a time to panic and avoid investing. If the only time a person invests is when conditions are "safe" they will be the investors who buy at the top when the gains have already been made. We will live through this with the majority of our money intact to participate when conditions change for the better.
I had an interesting experience at Safeway today:
I wanted to buy some Sirloin on sale. I couldn't find it so I asked the butcher. He looked in the case and they were all sold out. He didn't have anymore in the back (Death - the end, weeping person). So he asked if would take another /better cut for the same price? I said yes, so he reached in the case and selected a big value pak and said OK? I said yes, then he went into the back and relabled it at the sale price. - The big wish fulfilled.
