To practice reading tarot leads to true connection and understanding of this methodology. This connection is the energy of the cards, the meanings, the symbols.
Simple symbology as guides, or the most complicated transmutation and alchemical versions of tarot makers of the past, no matter the comparisons I see in different decks – the energies of each truly ring throughout my life – even when I am “just practicing.”
It becomes a beautiful story of advice that could never go wrong no matter where you are in your path.
You may think that in sample reads there are small details do not match you and your experience, but in this one, I find a powerful message that remind me the following phrases are more than words, and you may surprise yourself in what does resonate.
Speaking with love and clarity will help you see with love and clarity.
Spending energy where you spend energy is a choice.
How you move in the world can affect others. How others move can affect you. How you chose to be in both worlds matters.
May we all move forward with just a little more clarity and love than ever.
May you read and move with love and clarity my friends.
My simple query: What do I need to know for this path at this time.
The energy card. Top and center. This is the main advice/energy of this reading.
The hierophant/teacher – reversed: The teacher we seek is always within, and can be found outside of self and comfort can be found in nature. Slow down the steps. Be thorough in decisions, be cautious in words, have care in energy. Now is a good time to make efforts to reconnect on a divine level.
You may not have been accessing your previous deeper connection lately, just trusting you can feel it without the effort naturally. Refreshing that natural reconnection can assist in even more effortlessness. If you haven’t in a while – meditate. Not for shadow working, but for calm, quiet.
Let your body teach you what it needs.
Reconnect with the air around you and you will read with clarity the messages before you, for they are indeed for you.
Card 1: Overall context.
Knight of cups rides along the parade with celebration, passion, enjoyment and accomplishment. Their energy is moving along at a nice clip. They face the next card to the left with openness, not fear.
In general you have the right attitude to face the changes you know are inevitable. You can do so with reason, with good intention, and with confidence.
Card 2 The blockage – The difficulty
What could possibly slow you down/hold you back?
Death: The inevitable changes we can not stop. The world continues on regardless of our attitude, so we look at how the cards lay for guidance in knowing the direction of challenge. So we can face the road block with continued confidence.
The angel of death faces forward, but the body angles towards Card 4 – asking for assistance in understanding the paths of changes.
Could it be that resisting making our own changes instead of letting everyone around us make the changes, leaving ourselves only the space to simply react? Leaning into the challenge may be simply making our own path.
Card 3 Energy to move forward and implement the solutions.
9 of Swords – reversed: At this angle she falls down towards the sword, directly in the middle of the crown. She angles her face towards the teacher’s energy = beseeching help. She has no idea she is her own teacher.
If you consider the meaning of the card before in tarot – the 8 of swords – the releasing of the thoughts that block you.
Now you must know, the new thoughts create reality – it is not just moving past the idea that you do not know how to be, because that will create you not to know how to be, but changing the whole conversation because YOU DO know how to be.
Card 4: The best outcome energy.
8 of Pentacles Reversed – Calmly seated: she faces the teacher / the king cards across the way. Sits calmly without concern. With comfort. Tired in a satisfied way.
The knowledge that the energetic work is complete, but knowing too that you do not always have to put in herculean effort towards the goal.
Effort was sown, a hike towards the top of the mountain. You accomplish much, and sometimes that is needed, but the effort that is needed is more for you than the top of the mountain view, or another’s opinion.
The continuation of the path keeps going. It does not end when you reach the top of the mountain, but now, it changes direction. Going down the mountain is its own path.
Card 5: The higher lesson card.
King of Pentacles Reversed: The high court may be set in place by the courts before them, by right or possibly undeservedly, or maybe taken by storm by those who would believe themselves wiser than them before. Either way – the point of a court is to rule – the rulers choose how they will lead others on the path, for no matter who each page or peasant is, we all still are on the paths together.
However, it is when we realize that we are our own courts within us, and have the power to choose how we walk this path.
We can choose to keep working towards our goal, with determination, with satisfaction that we work towards the top of the mountain again and again.
We look towards ourselves to answer the questions – the transformations – the never ending seeking of who we are, and where we are going.
Wisdom comes from within, or the universe will bring what you need towards you to learn.
The teacher in you will attract the teachers you seek.
This is the energy you take with you towards the next steps along this magical path.
