Dear Friends! I am happy to tell you that that time has come for GYPSY CAFE to expand and send some of its articles to its sister blog DIVINE ROSE CAFE. It is there where my postings about divine love, God and His loving presence in my life, His wonderful saints and angels will appear, and GYPSY CAFE will keep its original format, continuing to explore the world of cards, symbolic thinking and energy structuring. Of course, both GYPSY CAFE and DIVINE ROSE CAFE are based on my connection with the divine, but they both have their own and unique approach. Please visit both these sites; each is the perfect complement of the other and helps you connect with God in the most intimate and profound ways.

Taking cautious Steps



Dear Friends! Welcome to the GYPSY CAFE! Yesterday I followed, as much as I could, the cards' advice, and I opened myself up to people. Not in an intimate way, of course; I did not stop them on their tracks just to tell them about my secrets; but I did indeed enquire about their business, listened to their stories and encouraged them in their endeavours. Indeed, I made some initial steps to do that, but unfortunately, I feel that I did not make as much of an effort as I should have. In the back of my mind, I still felt how much I liked to be approached, and the experience felt a bit foreign to me. For some reason, I find it hard to build mutuality with the same intensity as others. I must train my heart to open up more, to turn to others with more warmth in my heart, to make them feel loved and needed. Although I feel how beautiful it would be to do that, something deep inside me blocks me from abandoning myself to such openness just yet, but I am working on it, as I know that it would help my internal harmony. 
Today too, I am asking the cards about the energies around me. Having shuffled the major arcana of my Angel Tarot deck, I drew the Emperor Rx, the Fool Rx and the Devil Rx cards. All the cards are reversed. The combination is telling me that today I will not feel in control, and therefore, I will be very cautious in my dealings with others. This cautious approach will help me become unchained from destructive thoughts and patterns, from letting doubt and despair win over at times. This is a beautiful message that cautions me to go slowly today, to not jump into conclusions because jumping into pessimistic conclusions surely chained me to destructive patterns in thinking. 
You must be slowly getting ready to go to your office soon. Remember: everything is always in a state of development; do not jump into premature conclusions. Let things flow where they need to flow to find their more definite shape.

Opening myself to Others



Dear Friends! Welcome to the GYPSY CAFE! Yesterday's cards spoke of my being torn between imbalance and internal harmony while still proceeding on the rocky path of eventual fulfillment. I kept this message in mind, and whenever my faith shook a bit and I started to see the world through dark lenses, I reminded myself of the path I am on, my long-term journey which is difficult and trying on one hand, is filled with opportunities for cleansing my soul and thus getting closer to God and hearing His voice more clearly. I kept on reading my book and did all the spiritual exercises it asked me to do. I looked deep into the layers of my soul, noticed the cobwebs and the dirt, and proceeded with my spiritual spring cleaning. The cleaner we are on the inside, the more clearly we hear God's words to us. Suddenly, His signs are more visible, His advice more audible, His guidance more clear. I find it so fascinating that no matter how much we cleanse our soul, from time to time, God stops us in our tracks and points at a new dirty corner we have not see before or a new spot of mud that has escaped our attention. Cleansing our soul is a never ending process; becoming saintlike is our lifelong spiritual project.
Today too, I am asking the cards about the energies around me. Having shuffled the major arcana of my Angel Tarot deck, I drew the Lovers, The Hierophant Rx, and the Judgement cards. The combination is telling me that today I will be called to approach relationships in an untraditional manner, or at least a manner untraditional to me. As I have always been the one who likes to be approached, today, perhaps I should be the one to approach others, to show the initial interest in their affairs. This approach would create balance not only within me, but also within my relationship with others. I have always known that my being too reserved can send off the wrong message: that I am too cold, unapproachable, uninterested and certainly unfriendly. However, nothing could be further from the truth; I just like to be approached first, and I have always admired people to whom, opening up comes so naturally. Today is the day where I can try this too, and I will use these energies to reassure others of my interest in their world.
Slowly, you must be getting ready to go to your office. Remember: balance within will result in balance without. The more balanced you are inside, the more balanced your relationships will be.

Keeping on the straight and narrow


Dear Friends! Welcome to the GYPSY CAFE! My weekend was peaceful, and I read most of the time. Now I am reading books that teach me how to discover hidden emotions in the deepest layers of my soul. Getting to know ourselves in such an intimate manner is a form of soul cleansing, a form of ascension. It is very liberating to know what lurks deep inside us, and only by bringing them to the surface will we become free of our shadows and get closer to God. Our goal is to become saintlike, like He is. Facing ourselves as we are is a lot of honest work; admitting our shadows, and placing them into God's hands and forgiving heart will bring us closer to Him, and in a cleaner spiritual state our prayers gain favour with Him. Lately, I have been very interested in what helps our prayers gain favour and be answered favourably. Shadows in ourselves are an impediment to this, as darkness and sin separate us from God's loving heart. Therefore, cleansing our soul, freeing ourselves of dark ideas and intentions will help us build a better relationship with God, who will listen to our prayers more intently and grant our wishes lovingly and without reserve. No other relationship is more important in our lives than that with God. He is the only love constant in our lives, and will stay most loyal to us when all else has failed. 
Today too, I am asking the cards about the energies around me today. Having shuffled the major arcana of my Angel Tarot deck, I drew the Temperance, the Magician Rx and the World Rx cards. The combination is telling me that today I will be torn between patience, balance and impatience and imbalance, which will make my journey of coming a full circle rocky and difficult. It seems that I still have a long way to go on the path of soul-cleansing. I must remember: cleansing my soul will lead to releasing my shadows, which now are holding me back from my full spiritual potential, from my becoming saintlike, like God wants us to be. I will keep this in mind when impatience and lack of faith assails me, when I am tempted to believe what I see and not walk in faith instead. I will keep on the straight and narrow.
You must be getting ready to go to your office soon. Remember to attend to your soul too, not only to your body. Cleanse it and bring it closer to God.

On the Path to a Full Circle



Dear Friends! Welcome to the GYPSY CAFE! Yesterday's cards spoke of stubbornness, rigidity and negativity. I am happy to say that I experienced nothing of the sort. True, there would have been an opportunity for a mini-disagreement with a friend, but I held myself back, kept my temper at bay, and thus, harsh words were not spoken, and tension quickly subsided. I did remember to keep the day serene and soft, and I let myself be filled with gratitude instead for the cast being finally taken off my face and for the wonderfully healthy results. I also let myself feel gratitude for the wonderful friends and family who had supported me beyond expectation throughout this minor intervention. Feeling so loved left no room for stubbornness and disagreements and general disharmony. With awareness, we can counteract the energies the cards indicate.
Today too, I am asking the cards about the energies around me. Having shuffled the major arcana of my Angel Tarot deck, I drew the Hanged Man, the Chariot and the World Rx cards. Interestingly, I drew the Chariot and the Hanged Man cards also yesterday, although both were reversed.  The combination is telling me that today things will proceed harmoniously, and in balance. Open mindedness will reign. I am on the path to happiness and things will come to a full circle, but slowly and with some difficulties. So now that I know this, what will I do? I will be patient and will not rush things. I will do my things and let events around me unfold, this showing my faith in divine planning and timing. I will remind myself that just because I cannot see results yet, it does not mean I am not surrounded by slow developments; at the right time all solutions will be shown, and dreams will materialize.
You must be getting ready to go to the office soon. Remember to stay open minded today; it will speed up any process. Do not fight with others, but rather give them the comfort that you understand their views and difficulties. They will remember your sympathy and kindness and will be grateful for your support.
