This Mentor teaches about power: financial, material, psychological or political power. He is in complete control at all times, and is very skilled at controlling everyone
around him. He accomplishes everything he sets out to achieve with single-minded and clear, focused detachment.
Some examples of this masculine powerhouse--one who always gets what he wants--are the public personae of Bill Clinton, Sean Connery, Michael Douglas, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The characters they portray in public are determined, successful, multifaceted, and even ruthless in accomplishing their goals.
Getting in Touch with Your Mentor
Write in incredible detail every facet of what you want in your ideal relationship--every detail. Then, review it daily. Add and subtract features of the description
but relentlessly pursue what you want.
This Mentor is ruthless--often heartless--but always successful in getting what he wants. When you design what you want, make sure your heart and the hearts of the others
in your goal relationship are made joyful by what you will attain.
Your Mentor's Special Gift to You
Your Mentor will teach you to be assertive, to set boundaries to succeed in your world, create partnerships, never to be a "door-mat." He will teach you to value yourself,
to have confidence in yourself, and to get what you want--on your terms. Receiving this Mentor helps you to stand up for yourself! Never compromise! Define what you want and
go get it!

This is an important, pivotal time for
you. You must choose to remain as you are with the limitations you
have, or move onto a more creative, healthy place. This invitation is
not made lightly. This is a very important crossroads in your life.
Reaching this decision place is, itself, a great compliment to your
health and maturity, and the power of your destiny.You are invited
to a magical process. Here are the three steps to freedom:
- Gain knowledge and humility about who you are,
- Confront the parts of your personality you have considered
shameful and base,
- Accept your human body and the requirements of living a physical
life.
Those "disowned" parts may have to do with how you feel about your
body or your sexuality, or how you think of yourself in your body, or
the limits you have placed upon your abilities because of a limiting
self-concept.
Your ability to progress in life and your creative energy are
limited by your own panic, self-disgust and self-deception.
Face your own personal demons, the darkness inside, and own that
despair. Whatever you are ashamed of must now be owned, embraced and
the breach healed between your idealized and base selves. Honest,
humble acceptance of your entire being is necessary to release your
creative energies and allow you to proceed beyond your current
limitations.

You may use either a regular set of cards or an actual Tarot deck for
this assignment.
Feel free to define your own suits. Should you wish some assistance,
here is one set of suit definitions:
 |
Spades -- Rods -- Spirit |
|
Clubs -- Coins/Pentacles -- The Physical World |
|
Hearts -- Cups -- Emotions |
|
Diamonds -- Swords -- Intellect |
Similarly, feel free to define the numbers and face cards as you wish.
We offer only one possible set of definitions:
If a card is reversed, decide if it will mean that the information
applies only to your internal self or does it mean that the card should
be interpreted in a negative manner?
After you develop your language for interpreting the cards, draw and
then study three cards.
These three cards define your past, present and your future for the
issue about which you have concerns.
Notice the effect this information has on you--are you sad, happy,
angry? After your initial response, write in your journal your response
and then explain why you feel this way.
Hopefully you have selected a Mentor with whom you can draw information
about how to deal with this new situation. Ask your Mentor in writing
or in your imagination how that person would deal with this situation.
