Sasha Graham’s Tarot Diva Blog – The Hanged Man Card – What You Waiting For?

You can’t escape the Hanged Man’s steady gaze when he appears for you in a reading. His eyes peer into the depths of your soul questioning, “What you waiting for?” The Hanged Man Tarot card represents a pause. Stillness. Seeing life from a different perspective. All excellent things, in fact, qualities essential to growth. But what if you find yourself stuck, suspended like The Hanged Man? Do you ever pace the house, avoid the elephant in the room and distract yourself with n

Sasha Graham Tarot Diva Blog – The Five of Pentacles

The Ides of March bear upon us, a spring Nor’easter screams through the canyons of New York City and I continue to be saddened by news of friends plagued with relationship trouble. Springtime equals growth but growth often accompanies unavoidable pain. The Five of Pentacles is often understood as a perilous Tarot card, signifying a tough time, financial hardship and struggle. The Five of Pentacles recalls the ups and downs of our relationships. All couples have their biorhyth

The Queen of Cups is a woman whose greatest quality it the capacity to feel. She is deeply empathetic, emotional and may just be the ideal Tarot reader due to her depth of understanding. Should the Queen of Cups appear in a reading, she may represent qualities of yourself or another person in your life. The Queen of Cups is connected to element of water and all of the emotional fluidity water represents. Why don’t you embody The Queen of Cups today? For five minutes? Why not?

Sasha Graham’s Tarot Diva Blog – When The Death Card Equals Death

It is common among modern Tarot readers to interpret the Death Tarot card as heralding transformation. The end of a cycle which brings upon refreshing change. But every now and then, Death, unavoidable, tragic, early Death strikes our lives. One cannot but help but consider the Death card’s deeper implications. What is Death’s gift to the living? In the midst of grief, sadness and sorrow, we spend those first days in suspended reality. Time stops. The fuzz and static of our r

Sasha Graham Tarot Diva Blog – Cracking Up with The Devil Card

Sasha Graham Tarot Diva Blog – The Six of Cups Tarot Card and Retrofab 80’s

Are you a super 80’s fan? Does a string of syntho beats and neon headband send you flying into a dance flurry. Did you see Rock of Ages before it even hit Broadway? Do you hunger for legwarmers and parachute pants? Does a mullet secretly look attractive to you? Do you still do the Maniac dance when no one is looking? Don’t feel ashamed. Your 80’s obsession is exactly the feeling expressed by The Six of Cups Tarot card. The Six of Cups is a card of remembrance and nostalgia. T

Sasha Graham’s Tarot Diva Blog – The Devil and Valentines Day

Valentines Day and The Devil Tarot Card The origins of Valentines Day whisk us back to ancient Pagan Rome. February 14th was set-aside for Love Lotteries. The names of young girls were placed on slips of paper, tossed into jars and randomly picked by young men. The boys and girls were then coupled up for the duration of the Lupercalia Festival, dedicated to Juno, patroness of marriage. These pairings often lead to long lasting romances. Sounds like a daylong version of Seven

Sasha Graham's Tarot Card a Day Blog – The Star Card and Healing Haiti

The Star Tarot card. . . hope . . . rejuvination . . . inspriration . . . healing. Qualities the ravaged people of Haiti are in dire need of. My mother, a nurse, flew to Haiti four days ago. She keeps in touch with daily texts. Last night she sent a message at 3:45 am. Her team is short on supplies. Earthquake victims, fearing the constant aftershocks, refuse to enter the hospital for fear it will crumble. Unable to ease their pain with medication, unable to heal her patients

“Can love travel back in time to heal a broken heart?” Alice Hoffman asks in her novel Practical Magic. Sitting with The Ace of Cups beside my laptop I say yes, you can. Can you heal your own heart and simultaneously heal the wounds carried within your family for generations? Yes, you can. I’ve been my family’s historian ever since I was old enough to care about the wild tales my grandmother told me. Like any family, there is a veritable “House of Spirits” from which I descen

Icy December wind is shaking this old farmhouse to its foundations, the weather matching my mood . . . one minute sun peeks from behind a cloud, next minute, the sky spits snow. Mountain weather is as unpredictable as the emotions that play across my six-year old daughter’s face. The bizarre week suspending between Christmas and New Years Eve always makes me edgy and nervous, like the Death Tarot card. This week feels like a vague netherworld, stop motion animation, a moment’

The Tower is a card often met with trepidation and fear. The unexpected happens and rattles you to your bones. Destruction and upheaval is experienced and then tempered by the serenity of The Star. Never fear The Tower card. Its beauty resides in the fact that The Tower card wakes you up!

What to do when you lose your deck . . . Halloween night. There I was draped in my Venetian Masquerade Costume, feather eyelashes, stiletto boots and black sparkling lips. I was off to read Tarot for fans at a Weezer concert in Hammerstein Ballroom and couldn’t have been more excited. I reached for my Tarot bag only to find . . . I couldn’t find it. Panicking, I raced to my bookshelf for a suitable deck but not much of a deck collector, I had little to choose from. I settled

The Star card offers us renewal, inspiration and above all hope. The Star card offers the feeling or desire for something with the confidence in the possibility of its fulfillment. Look at the tumultuous cards that come before The Star -The Tower, The Devil, Death. You’ve plodded through tough experiences only to emerge on the other side, stronger, different, somewhat changed. And change . . . deep, lingering internal change is what Tarot and our life’s journey is all about.

Judgement The Judgement card: A new awakening. A wake up call. Rising up. Rebirth. You can examine the Judgement card in the context of this past Memorial Day – a holiday to honor those who have fought and or died in American wars. Look at those coffins opening up on the Judgement card as remembering the dead, the Angel’s trumpet as the soldier’s bugle revelry. Why, the red cross on the Angel’s flag even looks like the Red Cross! I can’t reconcile my feelings about war or sol

Fives in Tarot are the roughest numbers to wrestle with. I think of the Five of Cups as the addiction card. The gentleman in the black cloak on the Five of Cups looks so dejected. So sad! The theory of the Five of Cups as representing addiction is easily viewed in the picture. We can understand the three cups that have spilled as the addiction – be it drugs, cigarettes, sex, negative thought patterns, booze, food – take your pick. Sadly, there are so many to choose from.

Sasha Graham's Tarot Card a Day Blog – Why Tarot is Sexy!

Why Tarot is Sexy . . . Intimacy is sexy. Reading Tarot for someone, you see him or her for who they really are. Don’t know about you but all I’ve ever wanted (aside from a city home, country home, happy family, two vacations a year, and world peace) was to be understood. To be heard. To be seen. The Truth is sexy. When you show the world you are a force to be reckoned with, when you call a spade a spade – or in Tarot a Sword a Sword – that is damn sexy. Secrets are sexy. Dig
