Full Moon in Virgo (Feb. 25)

Image
  What is becoming illuminated with this full moon? Three of Swords The heartbreaks and losses of the past year. Orby still on my mind, this time last year is where he really started getting sick. How much has happened since last March 2020. What also has been gained through this past year of grief and heartbreak. I have grown and moved everything- jobs, locations, ways of living I am used to/got comfortable in.  What am I being asked to offer my devotion to? Eight of Pentacles Work. Stitching and building a quilt. Long term projects, not quick actions. How am I being called to be of service? Six of Swords Riding waves of the unconscious, safe protected space, boats take you into new worlds (BTW podcast). New territory is on the horizon, leaving something behind.  Perhaps I am being asked to help shepard others to other ways of being, leaving old systems that have been destructive behind. Help others find their destiny.

Feb 23: Grief and transformation

  XIII Kamatayan-The Sulod Trio (Death) A figure in a chrysalis in the middle, three faces on each corner, a table set at bottom (an offering? a meal?), two hands reaching down from the sky to cradle this figure in the middle. Is it a wrapped baby or a doll? Is it asleep, just awakening? Dead? From the creator's IG:   Today's card is "Kamatayan" Depicting the Sulod trio of Mangganghaw, Manglaegas and Patag’aes. and in traditional Tarot this is known in the Major Arcana as XIII- Death. For the next 78 days I will be drawing one Tarot Card per day for a deck of Cards that I will be creating expressing from my spirit, my own interpretation of these symbols, influenced by my ancestry as a Pilipinx.  Elsewhere on IG :  The Sulod Trio has shown up to remind us that it is necessary to experience death, whether figuratively or literally, in order to experience change. There is beauty in our mortality, it gives us a greater appreciation for life. Throughout life we will go thr

  I don't frequently pull these cards, or at least not since I've been blogging about tarot. I read this as: Four of Wands- things seeming like they're coming together, setting foundations and a good basis for work/home life. But with Five of Wands it appears that there is some strife in the immediate present- feeling protective of self and of project(s)? Am I just fighting myself or are there others in the midst that are creeping up/predatory that I need to be aware of? Seven of Cups in near future shows multiple options before me, but also illusion/ false choices. It is reminding me to choose to do something meaningful and with purpose, not just for wealth/simple gain.  Need to be careful about next steps/directions. Is this about personal or professional matters, or both? I feel like it could be about either. Discernment is the key word/idea I am taking from this reading. Borrowing from High Priestess and Empress archetypes from last 2 weeks of Portal class, I need to re

  This week's Portal lesson was on the Magician and learning to trust our intuition. So I asked my cards this week if there's anything I should pay more attention to/ might need to lean on my intuition more about this coming week(s).  I don't know what to make of this spread necessarily. I am rusty with this deck in particular.  7 of Wands: Nearing the end of one cycle. I closed the exhibition today and am on the beginning stages of lots of different projects, and new classes as well. I feel like this figure trying to decide where to step next, and also trying to stay above water and not fall in! I don't feel like this card is precarious/dangerous, but rather there are a lot of choices and I need to somehow find footing/balance in the midst of all this movement and shift.  Knight of Knives: Swift actions/impulsiveness. Coupled with the Fool, is this suggesting I should move fastest towards the thing(s) I am feeling most called to do right now? Or is it warning me not to
