    The Tarot Diagnosis
    Judgement & Justice Demystified: A Therapeutic Tarot Breakdown

    The Tarot Diagnosis

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 15, 2025 28:56


    This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I'm diving into the nuanced and often-confused archetypes of Judgment and Justice (especially for newer readers). Plus, these are two major arcana cards that are especially relevant given the state of the world. Fun fact: this episode was inspired by a listener request, and I went full nerd-mode by pulling out lots of books I thought had unique perspectives on these archetypes in order to dig into these cards from psychological, therapeutic, and archetypal lenses.After a brief life update about my recent trip back to Florida, I shift gears into the cards. Using frameworks like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Jungian psychology, I explore how Justice and Judgement invite us into a deeper state of reckoning with both awareness and action.I discuss how Judgment functions as an inner awakening, a self-led moment of reflection, integration, and individuation. It's less about condemnation and more about liberation, calling us to rise above our limitations. On the other hand, Justice shows up as the embodiment of accountability, action, and agency, while encouraging us to take what we've learned and apply it with wise decision-making.I also pull a couple of cards live to help me explore how these archetypes are similar and different. And what shows up? The Emperor and Queen of Pentacles. The result is a thoughtful (and real-time) interpretation that I hope inspires you to engage your own deck as a thinking tool.Further Reading:Tarot for Change by Jessica DoreTarot for Life by Paul Quinn78 Acts of Liberation by Lane SmithRadical Tarot by Charlie Claire BurgessTarot as a Way of Life by Karen Hamaker-ZondagTarot for the Hard Work by Maria MinnisHolistic Tarot by Benebel Wen

    Daily Devotional By Archbishop Foley Beach
    At Times, Are You Unrepentant in Your Spiritual Life and, Therefore, “storing up wrath for yourself on the {Judgement} day of wrath”?

    At Times, Are You Unrepentant in Your Spiritual Life and, Therefore, “storing up wrath for yourself on the {Judgement} day of wrath”? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Penitence is not a once in a lifetime occurrence. Penitence is a daily and moment by moment occurrence. None of us is perfect, and not one of us always does the will of God. Paul, in Romans 2:4-5, is unequivocal in establishing the need for your continuing penitence and the consequences of your not repenting of your sins on a real-time basis: “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.". Therefore, we all need to repent and return to the Lord. You can become cocky and arrogant in your spiritual life – “I am a Christian; God has done this for me.”. As the Psalmist tells us in Psalms 32:5 of his confession and his penitence: “I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,' and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.". You can rest on our perceived laurels; but these perceptions, of personal goodness and righteousness, can lead you quickly to a need for your penitence.    TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will rejoice in Him (Philippians 4:4). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Mathew 3:8-11; Romans 2:4-5; 2 Corinthians 7:10; Psalms 140:1-13. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

    The Book Of James: Week 2 - Don't Be Judgy

    Bloom Church Podcast

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 11, 2025 41:54


      Book Of James - Week 2   Judgement is when you assume to know why someone does what they do.    And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39   EVERY PERSON IS LOVED, VALUED AND SEEN BY GOD. - James says   Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law. For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God's laws. For the same God who said, “You must not commit adultery,” also said, “You must not murder.” So if you murder someone but do not commit adultery, you have still broken the law. So whatever you say or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law that sets you free. There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you. James 2:8-13       4 WAYS TO OVERCOME JUDGING OTHERS     1. WE MUST VALUE PEOPLE   Philippians says Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3   SEEING VALUE IN PEOPLE IS NOT ABOUT THEIR VALUE TO YOU, BUT THEIR VALUE TO GOD.     2. WE MUST ACCEPT PEOPLE - Matther says   When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don't need a doctor—sick people do.” Matthew 9:12   Acceptance is not approval—it's the starting place for love-filled relationship.   Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8     3. WE MUST FORGIVE PEOPLE   Forgiveness is not minimizing the hurt you feel. Forgiveness is not making excuses for what happened. Forgiveness is not saying the offense wasn't wrong. Un-forgiveness locks you out of what God wants to do in your life. “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” - Matthew 6:14-15 Here is the simple truth UN-FORGIVENESS WILL HARBOR RESENTMENT AND THAT WILL TURN INTO BITTERNESS   Job says Surely resentment destroys the fool - Job 5:2    Hebrews also says Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many - Hebrews 12:15     Roots absorb. Roots store. And Roots grow.   It spills over. It poisons relationships. It impacts your marriage. It strains relationships with your kids, your family, your friends. It shows up in how you talk, how you react, how you see others. Suddenly, the fruit of bitterness starts to grow in your life: You start seeing the worst in people. You justify gossip and criticism. You secretly feel good when others fail. You tear others down to make yourself feel better. UN-FORGIVENESS, BITTERNESS, RESENTMENT HAS NO AUTHORITY IN MY LIFE..     “Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34       4. WE MUST PURSUE RELATIONSHIPS   Isolation creates the perfect conditions for judgment to grow.   Relationships only thrive when you're more focused on what you're giving than what you're getting. “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” Luke 6:37-38   People are shaped by the way we choose to see and serve them. 4 Questions to Ask Before You Judge Someone   1. How does Jesus view this person? - James says "He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession." – James 1:18   2. Can Jesus restore anyone? - 2 Corinthians says "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is 3. Is Jesus' forgiveness available for all? - 1 John says "But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness." – 1 John 1:9   4. Am I pursuing life-giving relationships? - Ecclesiastes says "Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.”    – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 (NLT) (NO SLIDE)

    Celluloid Pudding: Movies. Film. Discussions. Laughter. History. Carrying on.

    The year is 1976, America is busy finding new ways to celebrate their Bicentennial. Somewhere across the Atlantic, in a wine shop in Paris, a somewhat anonymous British wine merchant evolves a plan for a wine “showdown” — the great wines of France vs those young hippie upstarts of Napa and Sonoma, California in a head to head wine tasting, hosted in France. This event would later go down in history as the “Judgement of Paris” and from that day forward, it would have global and historic implications for wine commerce and wine enthusiasts. Bottle Shock is an amusing and palatable little film for any oenophile. It is always a pleasure to have my friend Bill come on as a guest, but when he speaks on wine, it's a heady and deep discussion on the subject. The man has a passion for what he does, and his knowledge on the subject of wine is expansive. This is a great episode to pair up with the episode Bill and I did for the film Sideways, and we think both films would pair well as a double feature and a nice Virginia, Petit Verdot and some Gruyère.

    Weekly Stars: Discernment & Cosmic AdjustmentsWelcome to the weekly forecast! This week, we're diving into the second week of June—a pivotal period filled with cosmic nudges, fresh opportunities, and important lessons about claiming what truly belongs to you. Kim shares why this week is all about fine-tuning your path, practicing energetic discernment, and using the stars as your strategic guide.Episode HighlightsThe Big Question: Is This Yours to Claim?The energy shift from the first to the second week of June is palpable. Last week may have felt buoyant and hopeful, but now, the universe is asking you to pause, assess, and ask: “Is this mine?” With new people, projects, and situations on your path, it's time to discern what is truly aligned. This week isn't about starting over—it's about micro-adjustments and staying true to your soul's calling.Cosmic Events Shaping the WeekPersonal Planets on the Move: Mercury and Venus bring a mix of calm and challenge.Key Astrological Squares: Mercury squares Saturn and Neptune, Venus squares Pluto—meaning it's time to get real about details and see beneath the surface.Full Moon on June 11: An opportunity for deep karmic review and inner knowing.Jupiter into Cancer: Expands emotional growth and creates fertile ground for new beginnings.Friday the 13th: Amplifies unique energy for transformation.Key Quotes“Just because it is familiar doesn't mean that it's right. So what is right for me is the great second question for ‘Is this mine?'”“Finding our footing is like riding a wave. And in so saying, what wave are you riding that's right for you?”Key Questions Answered1. What is the main lesson from this week's astrology?[0:01] The main lesson is about discernment—identifying which opportunities, relationships, or projects are truly meant for you. With last week opening doors, this week's challenge is asking, “Is this mine?” and trusting your energy, not just your mind, to guide you.2. How do the astrological aspects influence decision-making this week?[0:49] Mercury and Venus form tense squares with Saturn, Pluto, and Neptune. This shakes up routine, asks you to look beneath the surface, and makes details crucial. It's a week to slow down, tune into your intuition, and avoid rushing into commitments or distractions.3. What big cosmic events should we look forward to?[2:46] A powerful Full Moon on June 11 brings karmic clarity and deeper insights. Jupiter's move into Cancer starts a new emotional chapter, while the mystical Friday the 13th adds a layer of spiritual transformation. These energies combine to bring both release and new growth.Take Inspired ActionPractice Discernment: Regularly pause to ask yourself, “Is this mine?” about people, projects, and opportunities.Tap Into Your Energy: Your intuition is a stronger guide than logic or habit this week.Engage with Full Moon Wisdom: Embrace reflection and release what no longer resonates.Stay Connected: Mark your calendar for the upcoming activation event on June 25 for deeper energy work and insights.Stay ConnectedLove these insights?

    New Hope Daily SOAP - Daily Devotional Bible Reading

    Daily Dose of Hope June 2, 2025 Day 1 of Week 9   Scripture – Matthew 7:1-14   Prayer:  Abba Father, We come to you today with gratitude.  Thank you for loving us.  Thank you for wanting a relationship with us. Thank you for never leaving our side.  Help us to follow you more closely, Lord.  We need your truth.  We need your guidance and direction.  With every fiber of our being, we need you.  As we read your Word today and reflect on it, Lord, speak to us.  Help us grow closer to you.  Let us know where we are falling short so that we can be the people you have called us to be.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Happy Monday!  Yesterday, we had a big baptism celebration at New Hope and it was such an amazing event.  We had roughly 30 people get baptized or remember their baptisms between the English and Spanish-speaking congregations.  What a day of joy, as we celebrate new life in Christ!   Today and tomorrow we are finishing up the Sermon on the Mount.  Jesus has been teaching us that while outward actions matter, what really matters to God is our heart.  We are to behave and think fundamentally different from the world around us.  Up until this point, we have learned about the different groups that God honors, such as the poor in spirit, the merciful, and those who are persecuted for belief in Jesus.  We've learned about what it means to be salt and light in our world, pointing others to Jesus.  We have also talked a lot about how Jesus took concepts like divorce, adultery, giving to the needy, fasting, and prayer, and turned them on their heads.  Jesus is raising the bar for his people.    Today, the teaching is just as difficult and yet, critically important.  The first portion of the chapter deals with judging others.  Judgement is something that has gotten Christians in a lot of trouble with the world around us.  In fact, being judged by Christians is one of the main reasons people say they have avoided the church or left the church.  This should be heart-breaking to all of us.  Something has gone terribly wrong.    Jesus is saying you will be judged by the same measure you use to judge others. Think about this. How do you want to be judged? I can tell you that I want to be judged with mercy and compassion. Jesus talks about not trying to take the speck out of a friend's eye without taking the plank out of our own.  Why do we obsess over others' specks, over their short-comings? Well, because it's easier, it's more fun, but most of all we feel so much better about ourselves when we point out someone else's stuff. It distracts me from dealing with my own stuff.  I wonder if sometimes we don't even notice the plank hanging from our own eye. Maybe we just aren't very self-aware or we don't want to be self-aware. We are happy being ignorant about our own issues.    Jesus brings up hypocrisy again.  It's worth a review.  A hypocrite is someone who is more concerned with what's wrong with someone else than what's wrong with themselves. Urban dictionary has three definitions:1) A person who engages in the same behaviors he condemns others for. (2) A person who professes certain ideals, but fails to live up to them. (3) A person who holds other people to higher standards than he holds himself.  Sounds about right.  And as Christians, we have often been accused of hypocrisy.  Some of it has been fairly earned.   Jesus is saying, before you start pointing out other people's issues, examine yourself. Stop to see where you have traces of sin in your own life.  We all have it. Sometimes when we notice sin in the lives of other people, it's time to do a self-examination.  We need to examine our own behavior, speech, and thoughts.  We have to look deep in our own hearts and see what we need to fix. Just FYI – we all have something to fix.   So do we just stop there?  No.  Following Jesus means we never stop with what's in it for us. Sure, we've looked at someone else and seen their mess and it's been a big signpost to what's wrong in our lives. But that is not where it ends. Jesus says, “First get rid of the log in your own eye; THEN you will see well enough to deal with speck in your friend's eye.” This is where it gets really hard.   One of the main points of Jesus' ministry was teaching his followers to love each other. Love your neighbor. Love one other. John 13:34-35, So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.  This teaching on judgement is not just about letting people do whatever they want, about never confronting people. Judge not is not just about letting people live and think and speak in whatever way they want to because, well, Jesus said “Don't judge others.” It is so much more than that. It's not just about dealing with our own stuff either, although we do need to do that. When we see others' issues, it should be an impetus for us to look at ourselves and say, “Do I have that issue? Am I addressing it? What issues do I have that I need to address? What do I need to do to become more like the person Jesus wants me to me?” This is called being self-aware, knowing where your weaknesses are, and trying to deal with them.   But Jesus' lesson on not judging is more than that. We deal with the log in your own eye and then we may need to approach someone else about the speck in their eye.  Part of loving others well is holding other believers accountable.  We need each other.  Judge not does not mean care not.  It doesn't mean act not.  It doesn't mean don't get involved.  We need to keep our motives in check and be humble, but there will be times in Christian community where we truly need to get involved and let others know that while we care about them, they are off the mark.   Moving on in the passage, Jesus then teaches about praying expectantly.  This is the ask, seek, knock passage and many of you have probably heard this a lot.  It's powerful.  But does this mean that if we ask, God will give us whatever we want.  Not exactly.  But it does mean to pray expectantly; pray expecting that God will us an answer.   This can be a difficult scripture to teach. Some of you might be thinking, “Well, I prayed for my mother, or my son, or my husband to be healed and I prayed both persistently and expectantly, and it didn't work. They still died.” How do we make sense of this? I believe that part of it is understanding the context. Just as Jesus often used parables in his teaching he also used hyperbole in his speech, which is an overstatement or an exaggeration.  This was a really common way of explaining things at that time, in that culture, and it would have just made a lot of sense to first-century people. We, on the other hand, are products of twenty-first century modern life. In our culture, we tend to read everything very literally. And this isn't a bad thing–we just need to consider that Jesus was trying to make a point.   The reality is that this world would be even more chaotic if Jesus' words on prayer were actually meant to be taken literally. For instance, if we could just pray to have money and it appeared, well, then why work a job? If we could just pray to have an A on that Calculus test without studying for it, then everyone would have A's and grades wouldn't really have much meaning. That doesn't mean we don't pray, and it doesn't mean we don't pray boldly, because God intends for us to do so.  He says to pray without ceasing.  But it means we know that prayer isn't a get rich quick scheme or a way to get all our dreams to come true, but rather a way to get closer to God, a way for God to sustain us, a way to know that God is always with us. Pray expectantly because prayer does change things, but not always the way we want them to be changed. Pray expectantly because God always answers prayers, sometimes just not the way we want them to be answered.   The last few verses in today's reading are short but powerful.  Jesus tells his listeners to enter through the narrow gate.  This means following him and his ways.  Most people will enter through the wide gate.  On first glance, the wide gate seems easier.  It's the way of the world, it's living for yourself, it's doing what you want when you want and how you want.  Less people choose the narrow gate but it's that road that leads to Jesus which leads to life.   This Scripture always reminds me of Robert Frost's poem, The Road Not Taken.  Many of you probably know it.  I would close with the poem except for Frost was a complicated man who was never that clear about his faith.  He had some kind of belief but never professed Jesus as Savior.  I think he struggled with this narrow door/wide door issue.  And there really isn't anything more important in life, getting the doors and roads correct.  Yet, elements of Frost's work point to exactly what Jesus is saying, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”    Which door have you chosen?  Which road will you pursue?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki
