Changes and Transformations

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Mystical Universe Tarot - DeathToday’s draw is the Death card, which is traditionally a representation of gradual organic change, endings, moments of closure, and transformations.

What stands out to me the strongest today in this card’s imagery is the wings in the background, spread wide and delicate. In contrast with the claws on the blade and the snake in the foreground, what I see here is that sometimes change hurts.  A lot.

Sometimes it can be treacherous and painful. But in the end? It allows room for transformation to step in and begin to shift our lives into something better and more beautiful.

Mysterium Game Cards for DivinationAbout differences…

To Row – There are threads that connect us all, and allow us to see beyond our differences if we’re willing to look. If you focus on the differences instead of looking beyond them, the world can feel desolate and cold.

About similarities…

Center Row – Don’t be fooled into thinking that similarities are all that is involved in making a relationship work. There is so much more to a relationship to what we have in common with the other person. If you focus too hard on what you have in common, you can in turn miss the problems right in front of you.

About dreams…

Bottom Row – Don’t let broken dreams stagnant you, and turn you into something that you don’t want to become. Instead, move on from them to better things.

Questions for June 24th

Mystical Universe TarotI give myself permission to…

The Sun Rx atop Justice – …fail at things now and then. Failure is a learning process that allows us to experiment, and learn through trial and error. When you fail, you essentially learn what not to do through the consequences of that failure.

Because…

Four of Wands and Queen of Swords – … there is no reason that failure has to shake up your foundation. Instead it provides experience that you can use later in life. For each exploration in life, whether a failure or a success, there’s something to be learned.

I made a bad choice to go on my drive alone today, but when I had car trouble I ended up calling Jer to come meet me and spend the rest of the day with me.

Time To Start Moving

Today’s meditation was skipped.

Cook's Tarot - Three of WandsToday’s draw is the Three of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of movement, progress, proactivity, and expansion. It is the moment that comes after the planning has happened, when it is time to be spurred into action.

The message in today’s card is an effort to spur you forward. It says, “No more stagnancy, movement is needed. Take the steps needed to get your momentum rolling. Motivation will follow.

I’ve been feeling very sluggish and complacent lately in life, and the card today is bringing focus to this issue, and giving encouragement that it’s time to start moving now.

In the great building flood of the day, I chose dry land.  I also chose to get my own car out of the mess before going to start knocking on doors and dragging other people out of bed to move their cars as well.
