| Late again. Well, at least I've accomplished more in this lapse than the last! My wedding and reception are complete, I'm now Joani Collins. We're totally moved from residences in Nashville to Fayetteville. Our music store is actually stocked a month ahead of schedule and initial efforts to gain presence in the town where I went to high school (and left immediately following graduation) is starting to pay off. Thus, this month's card, six of wands :-) | 
| Card Name: Six of Wands (or Spears/Rods) Card Number: 6 Number Properties: Balance, health, contentment, satisfaction, marriage, family, sympathy, a choice. Suit Properties: Work and spiritual issues, ideas, creativity, growth. Astrological Sign: Leo Element: Fire |
Keywords: Optimism, success, recognition, team-work, creativity, dedication, humanitarianism. More about Six of Wands Tarot card: The "victory card" indicates the a start of a venture where success is assumed, i.e., being sent off by hopeful supporters to "win the good fight." This assumption is not based on conceit or arrogance but true confidence in the leader and team's skills and ability to succeed. The leader is the main figure in this card. However, this is obviously a team effort. Whether the leader is the querent or someone the querent is following/working with, the required optimism and drive are there to see the project through, so push forward and earn those laurels!
Don't let all that cheering go to your head. False esteem and overblown egos leave room for self-doubt and mistrust of teammates when the chips are down. Everyone must work together to reach their goals. Negativity kills so kill it first.

Monthly Tip:
When you are seeking guidance in a certain area of your life and the answers seem slow in coming, it may be that your conscious mind is blocking your ability to see them. Try letting your "unconscious" cut to the heart of the matter for you. Choose a card that identifies with your problem area and meditate on it for a few minutes before bedtime. Place the card in your pillow case when you lay down. Before you go to sleep, relax and then tell yourself that you will dream of the solution to your dilemma and that you will remember all details of your dream. Don't forget to write down all your impressions upon waking. I keep a pad and pen by my bed for this purpose at all times, whether I'm seeking particular answers or not.
