Madonna's Divorce: What's in the Cards for Mr. & Mrs. Ritchie?


The media keeps saying the divorce between Madonna and Guy Ritchie will get ugly. But, as the Goddess of Destiny, I took a look at Madge's Cards for the year and it looks to me that things are going to go the way Madonna wants them to.

That's because this is Madonna's "Make a Wish" year, according to the Goddess of Destiny system, which is based on an ancient science that blends astrology, numerology and the deck of cards.

This 'Make a Wish' year is the culmination of a rare five year cycle of success. This success cycle only comes around every 45 years. So when it arrives for you, you could literally make a big wish and have a good chance of having it come true!

Madonna's birthday is August 16 (1958), which makes her a 10
♣ in the Goddess of Destiny system. Ten is a number of mastery, clubs are the suit of mental (thinking) and communications. So, you could say that Madonna, as the 10♣, is a master of coming up with ideas and plans that appeal to (or inflame) the public. Barbra Streisand, Shirley MacLaine, Diana Ross, Jim Morrison and Kim Basinger are other famous 10♣.

Madonna's 'challenge' for this year, per the Cards, is letting go of love. The
9♥ shows there will be a change (or ending) of an important relationship. Madonna's result is hard work (10 ). To me it signifies that she's getting over her relationship by putting her all into her current world tour.

Guy's birthday Card (born
September 10, 1968) is the cunning A♦. This is known as a playboy card (rare is the faithful A). Personalities of this card range from benevolent (Paul Newman) to mercenary (Adolf Hitler).

Ritchie's Card layout for this year suggests he needs to overcome struggle, negative thinking and/or hardship by taking a spiritual approach to life.
He probably won't be embracing Kabbalah as Madonna has since there are rumors that it was Madonna's dedication to the mystical Hebrew teachings that has driven the couple apart.

Madonna's publicist is denying a report that said the couple has agreed on a
$60 million divorce settlement. With Madge's estimated net worth of over half a billion dollars, this would be a relatively painless payout, considering there's no pre-nup.

Word is, Guy isn't interested in Madonna's money. But if he was, he should be happy to know that another
Ais still known today for her mega-million dollar divorce settlement. A Amy Irving (September 10th birthday) received $100 million when she and husband Steven Spielberg broke up.

Here's the scoop on the "Make a Wish" year


This 'Make a Wish' year is the culmination of a five year cycle of success. It only comes around for most of us every 45 years, and it arrives for you, you could literally make a big wish and have a good chance of having it come true!

Madonna's birthday is August 16, which makes her a 10
♣ in the Goddess of Destiny system. As you can see (okay, you have to look real close at the top line!), the 10 is one of only three cards to sit in the 'fame' or 'sun' line of the Deck of Destiny. This year, the 10♣ card is in the very center of the board (in the position where the 10 sits in the photo). That's what makes this year so special for her.

Interestingly, Guy Ritchie's A
card follows Madonna's 10♣ around the Destiny layout. This means, that he has been in his most-fortunate five year cycle during most of their 7 and a half year marriage. Next year (age 41) will mark Guy's "Make a Wish" year.

Embracing Fire & Winds of Change


The Santa Ana winds are back, fanning a new season of wildfires in Southern California. Viewing the amazing TV footage of the raging flames is a great reminder to not only clear brush and debris from around your home, but to also do some inner (emotional) clearing.

Ask yourself: "What aspect of my life needs to embrace winds of change and fire?"

When you embrace the winds of change, being able to let go welcome the future with a feeling of optimism or at least hopefulness, you can avoid the flames and flare-ups of being exposed to the more intense fire.

"Wind means change is coming," warns Emalani, an intuitive counselor who, as a child, learned how to understand and respect the rhythms of nature from her mother. "Fire can be minimized.... through embracing the winds of change."

Calling it 'preventive medicine,' Emalani suggests using meditation or prayer "to clear our passages, to clear our aura, to clear our heart" of old limiting beliefs, relationships and activities that no longer serve us. This can be done sitting quietly as you gaze at a candle. Ask yourself what you need to let go of, and replace that energy with love.

Does Obama have the Confidence to Win the White House?


With the U.S. Presidential election less than a month away, here's a look at what's "In the Cards" for Barack Obama and John Mc Cain, as forecast using the Goddess of Destiny system (based on an ancient science that blends astrology, numerology and the deck of cards).


Barack Obama (birthday August 4th) is a 9♦ . Nines, in numerology, are all about letting go. In order to be happy, a 9♦ person needs to be willing to let go of anything and everything: money, things, relationships. 9♦ people are service-oriented (like to help others), intelligent and enjoy spending time with people they can talk to. George W. Bush (and his mom, Barbara Bush), David Letterman, Sylvester Stallone and Sonny Bono are famous 9♦ .

John McCain (birthday August 29th) is a 10♥. All tens come into this life with a level of experience related to their 'suit' (hearts = emotions and relationships; clubs = mental; diamonds = values; and spades = labor/health + the qualities of the other 3 suits). All 10s are usually popular and ambitious, but may also tend to be self-centered or even selfish. This can be especially true of McCain's 10♥, who may have a strong drive toward soul-searching. Jane Fonda, Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Jackson are famous 10♥.

Taking a closer look at Obama's Cards for this year, it looks to me like the biggest thing holding him back from winning the election would be self doubts. Obama has the 'showman' card (3♦) in prominent places throughout his Card spread (9♦ at age 47). This 3exudes confidence on the outside, but suffers from self doubts and feelings of unworthiness on the inside.

This tells me that Obama has to be ready to receive the honor of becoming President, and to really believe inside that he deserves to be in the White House. (this is a great lesson for all of us, to understand that we need to be willing and able to RECEIVE the things we are wishing for in life! Be open to receive and so much more good will come to you).

In McCain's Cards spread for this year (10♥ at age 72), he has the same card that appears to be a challenge for Obama. But, unlike Obama, in McCain's yearly Card spread, the 3♦ is in the extremely beneficial Jupiter position. Jupiter is the planet of good luck and blessings, which tells me that McCain is enjoying the positive aspects of this 3, which include looking good to the public, being confident and speaking with a strong voice.

Overall, the Cards do not clearly identify a likely winner, this race is very close. Although, in the lifetime Card spread, McCain is the 'Moon' (supporting role), to Obama's 'Sun' (the leader). This powerful connection (which is found among the majority of married couples) could be enough to predict that Obama will prevail, given that he is the Sun in his relationship with McCain. Although, in order for the sun/moon connection to be successful, both parties have to be willing to play their roles.

Is Sarah Palin (A♠), John McCain's running mate, helping or hurting his campaign? To find out what the Cards say, tune-in to Lisa's Goddess of Destiny podcast, 'What's in the Cards for Obama & McCain?'

Karma for O.J. Simpson the 6♦


O.J. Simpson could be spending the rest of his life in prison after being convicted of kidnapping and other charges in Las Vegas, stemming from a robbery of sports memorabilia once belonging to the football legend.

Simpson's sentencing hearing is set for December 5th, but experts say he could spend a minimum 15 years behind bars before he's even eligible for parole.

Karmic Payback isn't Always Pretty
Some say this conviction is unfair, that it's too much prison time based on the severity of the crimes committed (prosecutors threw in the more serious kidnapping charges based on an audio recording of the heist where O.J is heard saying 'Don’t let nobody out of this room.').

But most people (who apparently believe OJ got away with murder when acquitted 13 years ago on charges that he slaughtered his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman), think Simpson has finally gotten what he deserves, 13 years to-the-day that he was acquitted of murder charges, for the brutal killings of his ex wife and her friend.

O.J. Simpson is a 6♦ (six of diamonds) in the Goddess of Destiny system (an ancient science that blends astrology, numerology and the deck of 52 'playing' cards). In numerology, 6 is the number of Karma, the law of cause and effect. Karma is a belief that you will get back what you give out. Be kind to others and good things will come back to you. Be a jerk and, well, you get the gist of it.

Anyone who is a 6 (of any suit) in this system needs to be extra careful when it comes to dishing it out in this lifetime because, sooner or later, payback will certainly arrive. According to the Deck of Destiny, the 6♦ person is here to learn financial responsibility (6 = responsibility, karma, ♦ = finances, values).

This 'get even' quality of the 6♦ can be attributed to Simpson's success on the football field. Sports figures Jack Nicklaus, Joe Montana and Joe Lewis are also the 6♦. In his book, "Love Cards," author Robert Camp attributes the fairness aspect (pushing back with the same force pushed upon you) as well as the ability to keep cool under the pressure of competition, to the success of these 6♦ sports pros.

As for Simpson being convicted at this time, one of the Cards influencing the 52 day period Simpson is in is Ron Goldman's card (K♦). Beneath the K♦ is Simpson's 6♦ (karma) card, paired with the 9♣, which signifies an ending of a mentally challenging struggle (9= endings; C= mental).

This 'ending' could mean that Simpson, who may have 'gotten away with murder,' has never gotten over the brutal crimes and somehow wanted to pay for them in some way. It could also mean a happy ending for the Goldman family, whose years of mental struggle may be eased now that Simpson will apparently be going to prison for a long time.

An Interesting Sidebar Relating to Ron & Nicole's Cards

Most of the 'cards' in the Goddess of Destiny system (45 of the 52 in the deck) experience a peak or pinnacle period of success and even 'fame' every 45 years. It's interesting to note that, when they were killed, both Nicole Brown Simpson (a K♣, was age 35 when she died) and Ron Goldman (a K♦, was 25 when he died) were in their 'pinnacle,' or peak fame years. These two certainly did become famous, even infamous, during this time.

What's Your Story?!?!?

"Story." We all have one. Our minds keep track of all of our experiences, the highs and lows, good and bad, happy and sad, traumatic and ecstatic.

Whether you realize it or not, the '(hi)story' of your past is creating your life today. When you wake up and realize that you are not your 'story,' you can start to release past beliefs and judgments and start living in the now.

Some spiritual teachers suggest that our 'story' is the ego's way of maintaining control of our minds, standing in the way of us evolving into 'happier beings,' living in higher state of consciousness.

In 'A New Earth,' author Eckhart Tolle defines a 'grievance' as 'the old baggage of thought and emotions' (Ch. 3 'The Core of Ego'). Tolle warns 'one strong grievance is enough to contaminate large areas of your life and keep you in the grip of ego... and a 'collective grievance' can survive for centuries and fuel a never-ending cycle of violence."

When we are too wrapped up in our story (grievances) we're not paying attention to subtle signs that could lead us to more happiness and well-being. In A New Earth, Tolle urges readers to be less 'human' (ego) and more 'being' (spirit). Being, as in
living in the Now.

In "The Four Agreements," don Miguel Ruiz encourages readers to examine every single belief and judgment. Because, many of these beliefs were formed when we didn't know any better. Ruiz suggests that our outdated beliefs and judgments negatively create our lives today.

So, back to your Story. One of the Four Agreements is to "be impeccable with your word." This includes the way you speak about yourself. By re-telling your 'story' (some of us over and over, to anyone who will listen!) are you holding yourself back from evolving into the person you would like to be? How about fine-tuning your story to create the life you want.

This isn't about lying, it's about changing the way you perceive the world and your place in it. Look for the things you wish to see instead of noticing all of the things you don't like or approve of. Think about being the person you wish to be, and CAN become, just by making slight adjustments in your actions and attitudes.

If you believe the 'stories' in the news, our world is on the brink of enormous change and transformation. In times like this, it's more important than ever to maintain a sense of well-being. One way to do this is to take time each day (such as before going to sleep) to reflect on all of the people and things that you appreciate and are grateful for. Keep a gratitude journal
handy, so when things get rough you can be reminded of all of the good things in your life.

And pay attention to the way you tell your story. You are the author/director/producer of your life. It's your story and you are free to create your story in a way that benefits you and the world around you. You are creating your future right now, with every thought, belief and attitude. Make your story a good story!
