New [Connection] Spread

-




Spread from amyenergy on IG 

L to R top row:

Energy of person coming in: King of Cups. This is very nice, supportive energy. Balanced head/heart energy. Emotionally solid or trying to be. (gurl don't get your hopes up but this sounds nice. https://www.thetarotguide.com/king-of-cups) 

What they are looking for in this connection: The Magician. This is a powerful major arcana card about alchemy and transformation, manifestation. Is this the energy that I am actually bringing into this- projection, wanting magic to happen (LOL)? Again, don't want to project motive onto anybody else but I can say that this is the kind of thing I would like in a relationship, not necessarily with this person I had in mind while shuffling, but generally in life. 

What are they bringing with them: Five of Wands. Uh, yikes. Does this mean they are a conflicted person within themselves and/or have recently come out of a relationship that was full of strife and/or is unresolved? If I try to read this positively, it could be that they are working on themselves to try to exorcise their own relational/personal demons and actively looking for change/transformation. A more fearful interpretation I might put on this is that this person, once the veneer is down, can't manage conflict well.


L to R bottom row:

Highest potential of this connection: Queen of Cups. As friend, lover, and/or partner this relationship has potential to be mutually caring and supportive. I know in a romantic relationship I would like to better be able to support my person in their goals, desires, dreams and would want to be cared for in the same way. Again, not assuming any romantic outcome of this, but it would be nice to have someone to share ideas with and to learn from/with in a mutually supportive way.

Any blockages or hurdles to be aware of: Justice. Stay balanced. Be fair in judgments/assessments of the other person. Don't expect everything to be equal all the time but try to work towards parity as much as possible.

Advice from our future self: The Hierophant. I don't know how to read this card in the context of this spread. One site considers Hierophant in love readings as related to convention, spirituality, and/or not wanting to break taboos. Does this mean that if a partnership results in some way, that it will either 1) be conventional, and or 2) stretch my ideas and practices of what a relationship could be? Another meaning of Hierophant card is around researching ancestry/genealogy, and connecting with spirituality. So does that mean a relationship of any kind that could emerge would help one or both of us do those things? I guess advice from future self is murky to me right now because I haven't learned what I needed to learn in order to understand this card. No way out but through.

8/5/20: Seven of Pentacles

-
Image
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

-
Image
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
