Success Lives Outside the Box

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Crimson Eye TarotToday’s draw is The Hierophant Rx atop the Death card. Traditionally, the Hierophant is about tradition, learning the old ways, and knowledge that is passed down overtime from one generation to the next. Reversed, this card often means there is a need to break free of tradition and think outside the box.

The Death card is traditionally a representation of organic change that happens over time. It’s the type of change that develops slowly and can often be seen coming, even if we decide to ignore it instead of face it head on.

I don’t usually take two cards for my card of the day pull, but when these landed on the table they did so definitively and it felt right. And so… here we are.

Today’s pull is about rearranging my living room in order to get shelves put up in the summer. It’s something that I have been thinking about quite a lot over the last week as I plot and plan what I want to do, and have been planning in the back of my mind for the last couple of years.

These cards are an indication that I need to think outside the box in concern to how to get my plans to work. Most specifically, the fact that I want to put the TV over the fireplace, which will take a bit of planning and brainstorming if there are no studs behind that wall as I suspect is the case.

Today’s cards are a reminder that these changes are possible, but they’re going to take a bit of ingenuity, new perspectives, and outside the box ideas in order to accomplish.

Question: Are all emotions irrational?

Intuitive Night Goddess TarotReading Summary: True emotion is born in the heart (Ace of Cups), and does not come from the head (The Sun). This means that by their very nature emotions are not logical, as the heart is a mystery (The Mystic).

Take Away: We can use our head to puzzle out emotions and make them look rational and logical, but that is not how the heart works. In this way, emotions are always irrational, even if our brains are able to rationalize them after the emerge.

Question: Will the “TV above the fireplace” thing work out?

Crimson Eye TarotReading Summary: Collaborate with (Three of Pentacles) people that have been doing this for a long ass time (The Hierophant) and you will be happy with the end results (Ten of Cups).

Take Away:  I’m in the process of looking for a carpenter to help me in this part of the transition process.  These cards indicate that I’m on the right track, and to not try doing this by myself, but seek out help from a professional to make sure it gets done right.

I took some time to read through and think over this info-graphic by Persephone’s Sister today. She has a point and it feeds into the fact that I have a habit of “putting off” the day-to-day self care tasks far too often and waiting until I need them instead of doing them regularly in order to prevent reaching that point in the first place. It was a new perspective on this problem that I struggle with that I think might help, in the end, with me getting on track with doing more regular self care practices.

Get It Done

/ Twist the Leaf / 1 Comment

Today’s meditation was skipped.  I woke up from a nightmare and needed to get out of bed. Once up and out, the nightmare made it extremely unappealing to return so I just stayed up instead of returning to meditate.

Intuitive Night Goddess TarotToday’s draw is the Eight of Wands, which is traditionally about action, speed, motivation, vigor, and alacrity.

The theme of the card fits very well with the day today and I’m not sure that it was so much about giving sage advice as today’s draw was an encouragement.

Aside from packing the car (which is a long and arduous task in itself), there was also a few chores around here I wanted to finish before we left.  On top of that I did some maintenance on the computer to get it running a bit more smoothly, and a few client readings as well.

All in all, today’s card was about endurance and keeping moving in order to get everything done that needed to be.  And.. that’s exactly what I did.

Philosophical Question: Which is more important… love or trust?

The Little Prince Playing CardsReading Summary: The connection (Two of Hearts) and support that love creates (Queen of Hearts) between people is of greater importance, but both is better than having to choose (Two of Spades).

Take Away: You can love someone without trusting them, but that love will be incomplete. You can trust someone without loving them, and that trust can be whole and without flaw.  And yet, what we see here is that when it comes right down to it and to the way we work in our heart of hearts… love is more important, as it is through love that kindness is born and connections with others are made.

Intuitive Night Goddess TarotLove – Three of Cups – Cherish the time you have with others and focus on how much richer having those you love in your life makes you feel.

Light – Seven of Pentacles – Pay attention to where you spend your time and energy. Focus it towards the “long game” and sustainabilit,y instead of squandering it on temporary fickle things.

Peace – Revolution (The Tower) – Look at what needs changing and get going on it. The sooner you work through the upheaval and get it over with, the sooner you will be able to take a breath on the other side… with the accomplishment under your belt and knowledge you are then in a better place.

I spent some time outside with the camera, and I got the majority of the packing and organizing of the car out of the way so that departing tomorrow can go more smoothly.  We’re just waiting on Z’s test results before we can leave (which still have not come in but will hopefully be ready by the morning).
