Feline Tarot, July 4th Life, Liberty and the Purrsuit of Lunacy
Oh, my stars, it’s yours truly, Merlin back for a new week, a new moon and lots of us will be gazing at the sky tonight. Perhaps enjoying fireworks, a crackle of bonfire or burgers on the grill. The new moon is the best time to seed new beginnings for the weeks and months ahead. Our summer roses are in bloom and to my horror, we’re already seeing evidence of August blooms. No, no, no, dearest ones.
Savor the hell out of summer, go crazy in purrrrsuit of lunacy, in a good way.
The message is loud and clear even if today’s tarot for the week is a bit loony. The moon is the 18th card of the tarot and it’s a tricky one. My best advice is have a reality and find out what’ really weighing you down, it will pass. And like I always say to my feline student Push Push, “life is like horking up hairballs sometimes. It looks and sounds worse that it is. The moon plays tricks you know, but you can win by going within. Deep dive. Don’t worry, it’s not bottomless. If you’re feeling moody, you’ll regret having that third niptini in the morning.
If you don’t believe what a trickster the moon can be, scroll down to the old poem about cats and the moon. The illustration is by Louis Wain, done many moons ago and re-jiggered by Layla. He was brilliant but a crazy as a loon, for real. You’d call it schizophrenia today. Anyway, don’t sweat it.

I am so glad you got Cole and Marmalade to help, hoping this takes you up and over the top.
Always good to hear from you Merlin, your words may come from a bit further away now, but to me you’re pretty darn famous.
Happy Monday and happy 4th! (could you please swat some of those pesky fireworks?)

Liked the reading, even though it’s not possible in this life to come clean with my Mom. She never stops with the stories about me. It insures her plenty of pity for having SO much to have to put up with! She thrives on the attention, even though it’s been about 3 years, more power to her if she needs that ill attention.
Merlin, you are more loved still, by me anyway,even if you didn’t have some fancy FB event??
Layla Morgan Wilde
Connie Marie, never say never. Life has strange twists and turns. I may not be famous but know universal love 🙂
ConnieMarie
Sorry to say, after the age of five up till 3 years ago, I gave it my all.
I’ll definitely stick with never concerning my parents. I believe in love, each to their own, helping, and more.
It hurts like hell, but it hurts much less not having them in my life. The story is to sorrowfull. Purrs
