Great Expectations
Day Sixty-Seven – April 24, 2010
I woke up feeling excited about the day I had planned. A friend and I had scheduled to attend Psychic Saturday at the Arlington Metaphysical Church. I was not only excited about seeing my friend, but I was also excited about any messages that might come through from the various lightworkers at AMC.
After my morning breakfast and published Day 66 of my journal, I performed my morning Kabbalah meditation. Once again, Kabbalah asked me to live in the moment, which was the perfect reminder. I then took a moment to check my email and phone messages.
As I listened to my phone messages, my friend called to tell me he could not meet me for fair Saturday due to a scheduling conflict at work. I instantly became somewhat disappointed, but after thinking about it momentarily and releasing my disappointment into the universe, I concluded that everything happens just as it should.
I stopped by my cousin’s on the way to AMC to drop off my bicycle and to firm up arrangements for parking my truck in his office’s garage later that afternoon. I needed a break from babysitting my vehicle, and I wanted to visit a bar that I used to frequent when I lived in DC. I hoped to run into some old acquaintances and have a good, relaxing time. I needed to let my hair down, so to speak, at least for a few hours.
After dropping off my bicycle, I headed over to AMC. I arrived early and ran into another friend and his partner working at the event. I then caught up on all of the changes that had taken place over the last several years and took a moment to recall all of the incredible messages I had received from various intuitives in the past. I could always count on the people at AMC to provide me with great, accurate insight.
I scheduled three fifteen-minute readings with three intuitives between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Once again, I was blown completely away by everyone’s accuracy. Some of the messages regarding my very near future encouraged me. I left AMC wired and needed to find a place to ground myself to bring my thoughts back to the present and the moment I lived in. I was extremely grateful for everyone’s energy and light.
I then headed over to Rincome for my third helping of Thai food. I knew my time in DC was limited, and I wanted to get my fill before I had to leave.
I then headed to the gym for a light workout and met my cousin at his place of employment. We parked my truck in his office’s garage and then headed to his home on Capitol Hill. While driving to his place, I began reflecting on the times he had offered me a place to stay. It was just another example of how important family is.
I settled into his place, and then we headed out for a nice dinner. I couldn’t get over the fact that so many things had changed in DC since I had left in 2004. I didn’t even recognize some of the neighborhoods we drove through. New buildings had popped up everywhere.
After a nice dinner, my cousin and I returned to his place and caught up on life. I went into great detail about what happened with my job and shared various pictures and experiences of my journey with him. It was just another evening of sharing. Curious, I ran our Destiny Cards Family and Friends compatibility chart.
The following was revealed:
First Connection | Cousin owes Chris in a Karmic Relationship
This is a unique and powerful connection that guarantees that this relationship is very important to Cousin and Chris. There are certain Birth Cards that, because of their position relative to each other, are known to be ‘Karma Cards’. Those who are Karma Cards are much like those who have the same Birth Cards because they have a lot in common. However, this connection also guarantees that these two have been together before in a way that left some outstanding debt incomplete. Therefore they are drawn together again to help settle this imbalance on a cosmic level. This does not mean that this relationship has any sort of negative connotation because of this supposed debt. Everything that happens in the universe is regulated by the law of cause and effect. This relationship can be a natural expression of this law, providing that Cousin and Chris allow it to be.
The implication here is that energy of some form is meant to be transferred from Cousin to Chris. Just what the form of that energy is will be determined by the particulars of their relationship. In general, it is best for Cousin to be willing to give whenever called upon. Other connections between Cousin and Chris will help define what that giving is and how easy or difficult this relationship may be for both partners. But, for giving to be successful, Chris must be also be willing and able to receive. In truth, receiving and giving are one and the same. If either Cousin or Chris do not allow this exchange to take place, there will be friction created in the relationship.
It has often been observed that people in Karma Card relationships either get along famously or not. When they are not, it is because this exchange is being hampered by one or both of the partners. If Chris is unable to receive, he will, in his own way, be undermining the potential of this relationship. The same can be said of Cousin if he is unwilling to give. So, both partners must be open to this exchange and participate in it. When they do, this relationship will take on a magical tone. This is one of the connections in which a very high degree of intimacy can be reached.
Much like people with the same Birth Cards, Cousin and Chris share many of the same traits. Though they themselves may not see it as well as someone outside the relationship, they share common talents, abilities, personal issues and challenges. There can be a sense of ‘sameness’ and unity that makes them both feel and think that this is the way a relationship should be. This could be compared to people who are twins to some degree. Much in the same way that twins can feel each other’s feelings and read each other’s minds, Cousin and Chris are likely to be connected psychically and mentally.
Greater depths of closeness are possible in this relationship and Cousin and Chris have the opportunity to experience a unique level of togetherness. In fact, Chris is a strong mirror of Cousin. In some cases, this mirror may be a factor in creating some friction in the relationship, especially if Cousin does not see just how much he is like Chris. Because Cousin’s card is the giving card in this connection, he bears more of the responsibility for owning his personal ‘stuff’. If Chris makes him angry, he must be the one to look at his anger closely to find the fault within him, and not direct his anger towards Chris. Other connections between Cousin and Chris will add different elements to their relationship and the combination of them all will be a more accurate description of it than just this one connection. However, this Karma Card connection is one that is the most important of them all and describes one of their most important reasons for being together.
This connection has definite ‘fate potential’, meaning that Cousin and Chris may have had little choice in their being drawn together, at least for a while. By being aware of the energetic elements of this connection they can each benefit greatly by the opportunity it presents.
Second Connection | Chris and Cousin are Venus to each other Location: Spiritual Spread
This is one of the truly blessed connections in terms of the compatibility of two people. What it implies first of all, is that Chris and Cousin were together in a meaningful way in a former lifetime. During that lifetime, they were in a significant relationship. It could have been best friends, father/son, mother/son, mother/daughter, etc. or some other significant connection. The important thing is that Chris and Cousin were very close in that lifetime and spent a lot of time together. Over the course of their relationship, they met with many challenges and overcame them with friendship, patience and perseverance. They developed a deep admiration for each other by having shared so much. That lifetime together created much good karma for each of them in the area of relationship because each of them made sacrifices for each other and maintained their relationship with a high degree of integrity and commitment.
As a result, when they first met in this lifetime, they recognized a certain familiarity and also noted the ease of being together. Though they are unable to remember their previous life together, the feelings remain for each other on a soul level. When they engage in any sort of relationship in this lifetime, they find that many of the elements that most people have to work hard to develop, such as trust and appreciation for each other, are already present for them. In essence, they already have a good foundation upon which to build any sort of relationship. This connection is one of the ‘instant recognition’ connections. But this one is even better than most because it is a mutual connection. Mutual means that both people experience the influence equally. This has the effect of doubling the influence, and in this case, the influence is very favorable to begin with. Chris and Cousin will find that this relationship is fairly easy, unless other connections strongly contradict. If this connection is between their Birth Cards, the compatibility between them is guaranteed.
As a result of this connection, Chris and Cousin already have a great deal of mutual respect, appreciation and good feelings for each other. In some cases, these feelings may be hard to explain because the two people involved may not actually have a lot in common. This connection can help show Chris and Cousin just how mutual appreciation can overcome all differences. There are cases, however, where two people with this connection just cannot be together in this lifetime for any length of time. The differences in their lifestyle, or life direction are so great that one of them would have to give up too much to make it work. The friendship is there, along with the understanding that this relationship wasn’t meant to happen in this lifetime, or perhaps it will happen later in this lifetime after each has fulfilled some important work they are doing. This friendship between Chris and Cousin will remain with them forever – through this lifetime and on into the future. That may be why so many people with this connection feel that they are soul brothers or sisters. The truth is that we have these connections with many people, but we will probably only choose to hang out with a few of them at most. Hopefully Chris and Cousin have enough in common that this will be the case for them.

Around 10:30 or so, my cousin drove me to my favorite bar and dropped me off at the front door. I spent the evening watching and waiting for someone I knew to walk through the door, but I only ran into one person the entire night. That was the only connection that spirit wanted me to make, and so I was utterly grateful to reconnect with my friend, Henry. We exchanged email addresses and phone numbers and promised to keep in touch.
I left the bar around 1:30 AM, grabbed a taxi in the pouring rain, and returned to my cousin’s place. I went to bed around 2:30 AM.
