Bio
I'm an intuitive Tarot card reader. It's my day job and I love it. My journey began in 1977 when I had my first card reading. I was astounded and inspired so I bought my first deck, began to learn and I'm still astounded and inspired.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 11)
This week I’m debuting a new deck. It’s still the Thoth (which is the only deck I use) and the images are reworked from Lady Frieda Harris’ original paintings. They’ve been “modernized” and made more aesthetically pleasing with brighter, more blended colors. I enjoy the new images, I hope you do too.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 10)
Reading for 10-28 thru 11-3-19 This week we have two Major Arcana cards and how perfect is it that we get the dancing skeleton of Death at the center of the week of All Hallows Eve? The focus and energy for the week will likely be on discovering things in our lives that no longer serve us, casting away burdens that we’ve carried for too long and manifesting our desires.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Part 9
Reading for 10-21 thru 10-27-19 The Center card this week is the Hierophant. As the first of two Major Arcana cards this week, the Hierophant at the Center brings the main focus of the week to our personal definition of teachers or leaders. In the early days of the Tarot, the Hierophant, also called the Pope, was seen as a religious leader. The position recognized in society as the voice of the “Almighty” in human form... And that’s where we find the catch; in human form. The connection to Universe—Truth, Spirit, God—is very strong in those individuals who choose to carry that mantle, and they are acting as an interpreter or go-between for the Divine. Although there is divinity in what they teach, they are not The Divine. When the duty of the teacher is to empower the student up to and beyond their own level, sometimes the hardest part is to allow the student to grow into bigger and better things. It’s my belief that the divinity in the teacher shows clearly when they watch, with pure joy, their students take flight up and beyond the point where that teacher has brought them. If we can get to the point where there is no fear, judgement, or competitive drive once our student surpasses us, that’s where we align with Truth. That dance on the razor’s edge is where the Hierophant lives. In being human he has natural competitive drives and aspirations coupled with the desire to bring knowledge and strength to those he teaches. Especially when the knowledge is deep and strong, the Hierophant is driven in himself to be the best at what he does. When bringing others to that point and beyond that drive, when it’s turned in towards Self, can show us clearly where we allow our humanity to tangle us up.

Cord Cutting Meditation
Cord Cutting Meditation Victoria LaPointe Mirror Dragon The purpose of this exercise is to get you to a place where you can recognize what you feel like withOUT the woven energy of others we carry with us and interact with all the time. Once you recognize what your Self feels like, you can tell which feelings, emotions, and physical pain is yours, and which is not. Empathic people have a tendency to own energy that doesn’t belong to them. I think it’s important to be able to tell the difference.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Part 8
Reading for 10/14 thru 10/20/19 The Center card for this week is the Four of Swords. With this four at the center, the focus for the week will be about finding a copacetic balance between the decisions we’ve made and the people with whom we’ve made them. (Including ourselves.) The fours of the Tarot generally represent a time for organizing and aligning. We’ve made initial steps, gathered needed materials, and set the course. With the aces we have the idea, with the twos we recognize possibilities for bringing the idea to reality, and the threes represent implementation, putting plans into action. The fours see us stepping back from the rough draft or the foundation or the collection of resources and seeing the project as a whole. It’s from this point of realization, as we see that pieces are falling into position and actually taking shape, we begin to look at the farther reaches and implications of this thing we’ve made real. Often the fours have us feeling that we’re in a time of stasis, and that can seem uncomfortable especially after the work we’ve already put in, but with this break we’re given a chance to experience things from a broader perspective. So this week we begin to see the results of our tough communications from the past few weeks.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 7)
Reading for 10-7 thru 10-13-19 The Center card this week is the 8 of Cups. So, once again we have a holdover from last week popping up this week to press the point. The eight of Cups was the East card last week and now takes centerstage so, again, I will copy and paste last week’s info on the eight as well as the intuited bit this week.

Reading for 9-30 thru 10-6-19 Ah yes, we’re still working with the difficult 10 of Swords. Having taken the center spot this week it seems to still want to demand attention so I’m going to “cut and paste” the interpretation from last week along with my intuited info from today.

Mirror Dragon Tarot
Reading for 9-23 thru 9-19-19 This week we have three out of three in the suit of Swords. Swords represent the Air element, which aligns with our intellect. Our language skills, memory, and cognitive ability, what’s often referred to as our left-brain thought, fall into this category. They represent our ability to run our experiences through the filters of structure, language, and logic so that we find a way to understand them and fit them into our day to day reality.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 5)
Reading for 9-12 thru 9-22-19 The Center card this week is the Empress. The Empress represents the Divine Feminine. She embodies compassion, acceptance, generosity and empathy. In following the Fool’s journey, the path of the Major Arcana, she is the third lesson. The Fool at zero shows us the Void, that into which all things are created and therefore the existence of pure possibility. The second step is the Magician who gazes into the vast nothing of complete possibility and realizes that he has the tools, the talent, the intellect, and the will to create any-thing into the no-thing of the Void. As the Empress appears she is the voice of compassion reminding the Magician that although he is able to create absolutely anything into the Void, perhaps there are things best left floating in the space of maybe or after some time or after growth and change. With her compassionate and selfless viewpoint, she presents the idea of consequence and the recognition that what may be good for the one is not necessarily good for the many. So the prevailing influence this week is a desire to compassionately combine feelings and interactions that perhaps have been at odds or poorly aligned up to now.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 4)
Meditation: Snowy Evening Begin by settling in to your meditation position. Get comfortable, breathe in feelings of calm and begin to release any tensions on the outgoing breath. Breathe in deeply, filling your lungs. Feel your diaphragm expand with brilliant, healing light. See your stress, frustration, exhaustion or confusion pulling together and combining into the light. Then see it flow out with your exhale bursting into tiny, flashing sparks as it dissipates into the atmosphere. Feel the air around you clearing and healing with this transformation. Stay with this clearing process until you feel ready to bring your consciousness into your sacred space.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 3)
Reading for 9-9 through 9-15-19 The center card this week is the Queen of Swords. I see the queens of the Tarot as the teachers and nurturers. They’ve gained deep understanding and compassion while on the path of their suit and are able to guide and sustain those who come behind. With the Swords as the archetype for our cognitive thought, our ability to categorize, define and explain, we look to this queen to help us find the most effective words to communicate our needs and ideas. Her propensity to detail what we want to say with grace and a wise acceptance of others’ ability to understand allows us to find the level which can best facilitate clear interaction. Not only do we want to get our point out, we want it to be understood by those involved. With that stance in mind we use the intuitive grace of the queen to bring things into context for whoever it is we want to be able to comprehend what we’re talking about. We abandon the idea that those around us “just don’t understand us” and find ways to interact with them at their own level. In this way we can communicate effectively as well as bring the capacity of those we’re trying to reach into the exchange allowing them an equal sense of recognition. I find that people are more likely to be open to things when we’ve taken the time to think about their communication skills and made the effort to align with them.

Mirror Dragon Tarot (Part 2)
The Center card this week is the Princess of Swords (Page in RWS). I see the princesses of the Tarot as having courage in their innocence. As the youngest of the court cards, they stride forward with no preconceived ideas. Their slates are clean, so without judgement or fear, they move into the first steps of exploring the attributes of their respective suits with curiosity and vigor. In the suit of Swords, we deal with the element of air and therefore our intellect and cognitive thought processes. This princess is not afraid to ask the questions she’s curious about. No matter whether they might seem “dumb” or inappropriate or “unrelated” to others and what they believe, the power of curiosity negates those inconsistencies and opens new pathways to wider knowledge. So, this week will likely be dominated by a deep desire to question the status quo. We want to poke at the fabric of our perceived reality with the sharp sword of our intellect to learn what’s solid and what is a facade. Reason combined with will clarifies the foggy situations around us and defines the cracks and holes.
