I didn’t manage to fit in meditation again today. My schedule got all screwed up when I had to go get my bloodwork done and it ended up taking about three times longer than anticipated.

Death – No, not literal death, although, it can predict that as well. The Death card is about change. Specifically, it’s about organic change that happens naturally over time, a little at a time. You know it’s coming. You might try to ignore it, but you know it’s coming whether you want to accept it or not. That’s the Death card. And from death, new life rises. That’s what I see here in the nightscape of mushrooms and rising lights. New life, grown out of decay.

This card is asking where focus is needed to foster growth after loss. What is it time to let go of so that there can be room for something new and better to take its place. Pay attention today to this theme, and search out those things to breathe fresh air and new life into places that have become a bit too stagnant.

No meditation again, although I swear I intend to get back on it. Tomorrow.

Nine of Pentacles – This card is all about accomplishment, and taking stock of all you have done. It is a reminder that sometimes you have to turn your gaze away from the future and your goals, and instead just appreciate how far you’ve come and how much you’ve accomplished already.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was about showing our compassion, and how when we do so we connect more deeply with those around us. I dozed off somewhere in the last two minutes or so of the meditation, though, so I couldn’t tell you how it ends.

Eight of Swords – This card is about being stuck… and fearful to move. It speaks of a need for clarity and a clear head before you make any decisions. If you step forward with your eyes still closed, you risk getting hurt pretty badly. Take your time and pull the blindfold off. Let the information you need to make wise decisions come forward and you’ll be able to untie your hands and make the decisions you need to make from a place of informed clarity instead of blinded confusion.

Our teachers (in life) come in many forms. A teacher can spring into our lives from any corner at any time, and if we’re open we can receive teachings from many sources.

Buddhist proverb: When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Our guides show up in unlikely ways and places. To recognize them, we must simply be teachable, and stay receptive.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and focused on releasing resistance so that we may learn the life lessons that are given to us.

Often, when opportunities to learn and grow come along, we have a habit of resisting and fighting against change. This inclination casts these learning opportunities and lessons in a bad light because they remove us out of our comfort zone.

The meditation today focused on learning to go with the flow of these moments and looking forward to where they might take us instead of resisting the flowing river and stubbornly fighting against the current.

Two of Wands – Making plans and plotting a course is allowed, and in fact, encouraged. Lately in life it’s felt like whenever plans are made, they’re dashed onto the rocks of chaos, but don’t let that keep you from making those plans.

By plotting a course, you keep yourself in a constant state of movement and progress, even when setbacks happen or the winds of change blow through and cause you to need to adapt or abandon those plans for new ones. The activity is not fruitless, even if it seems sometimes like it might be.

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was about. It had something to do with the living in the present moment, but I just don’t remember.

Wheel of Fortune – Life is a roller-coaster, and that’s what this card is all about. We have ups and we have downs. Sometimes things feel like they are moving too fast, and at other times slow enough we can finally catch a bit of breath. The reminder here is that when those times come when things allow you to breathe? DO IT. Don’t take those moments for granted, for everything is temporary, and we need to savor the good when it’s accessible for us to do so.

There was no meditation today.

Six of Pentacles – Unlike the scales in the justice card, these scales are all about the haves and the have nots. This card is about generosity, charity, and evening the playing field between the fortunate and those that need help. It asks us… what can we do to help those less fortunate to us? And how can we be open to help from others when we need it, instead of allowing our pride to get in the way?
