3/25/21: Four Powers Spread

-

 From Modern Witch Tarot book:



1. The Path: where are you called to tread? King of Pentacles

2. What Lies Across: the obstacle. The Fool

3. To Know: what will be learned or how your knowledge is best applied. Death

4. To Dare: in what way you will need to go beyond yourself and express courage. 4 of Cups.

5. To Will: where should you place your focus and intent. how will you need to express determination? The Emperor

5. To Keep Silent: in what way will you need to have restraint. King of Wands



I am moving--have been moving--towards financial security, my goals of having a meaningful life/work/vocation, setting strong foundations for myself to flourish for the long term. Be the master of my domain (king of pentacles/super capricorn energy). But I'm also in a moment/place/time where I'm moving into the unknown, trying to find a literal home from afar (The Fool). This moment / time / period I am in, is about culling what is not essential about my relationships, about projects that no longer fit or suit my interests, and just letting go of previous expectations about how life should be. I have been here before (2013) and I can do this again. I have already lived many lives, so I also need to remember what I know! Four of Cups is miserly, feels isolated and protective and alone. I need to express courage that this fool's leap isn't totally unsupported, and I should remember that I can/should reach out for help when I need it. I might not be able to find an apartment or make the cross-country move all by myself-- and others would be willing to help me, within reason. The Emperor is very obvious- this card placement is about telling myself I can boss up and be The Emperor/ in control on my own terms. I think staying on the course and not spiraling out, taking the long view of where I want to be and how I want to get there, are good reminders of the collective work that needs to be done. King of Wands might be the reminder that impatience, expecting quick results is something I tend to push for but which isn't entirely realistic at this moment. I need to remember I am still ahead of the game and that I'll be alright.

8/5/20: Seven of Pentacles

-

I've lost track of the days and have been slack on the tarot class because I am drowning in work- and yet don't feel like I've done any work at all. Feeling like I'm operating in panic / scarcity mode and not able to focus on one thing, because everything is pulling me at once. This feels like a time of a lot of possibility and growth, and also I am scared of making the wrong decisions and messing this up. I need to remember to draw on Seven of Pentacles energy to be aware of what needs to be protected (my time, my writing, my relationships) and what I can let go of hoarding (fear of scarcity, loss).

The Fool's Journey

-

The Fool begins her journey meeting The Magician.  From the magician she learns about communing powerfully with the natural world, and drawing on relationships to nature and the earth to build relationships with self. Meeting the Magician is a reminder that there is beauty and things unknown in the world- things that cannot be explained by logic/rules. The Fool then meets The High Priestess , who is more reserved. From the openness of the Magician, we go to the more withdrawn or wary High Priestess, who advises one to intuit your own knowledge, balanced by outside knowledge. She can be a bit black and white at times, but tries to find fairness and balance of knowledge. The Empress is a formidable figure, who shows the Fool what growing up into Femme power can really look like. The Empress takes no shit, but rules with love. The Emperor is intimidating too, with a hard-set face and a colder demeanor. From the Emperor the Fool learns how to set hard boundaries, to be cold or cl

Personal Card: The Lovers

My birth card: The Lovers Unity between heart and mind professional goals and personal dreams - find the balance this life path i am on is about healing my relationships to family, to self, friends, lovers need to work on making heart-centered choices  how do i trust myself to do the right things? Free write about what I want to do with this course: I'm interested in deepening my practice in tarot - to move from still relying on other guides to trusting myself and my own interpretations. I don't think that tarot can predict the future- it is a useful tool for us to check in with ourselves and to make sense of threads or events- to create a narrative that we can use to course-correct or to help begin taking more decisive actions. I think tarot can be a good tool of gathering information by/for yourself, especially at times of crisis or change when things don't feel clear cut or are just plain confusing. It is like astrology in this way, but perhaps works at an even more pers
