The Sun shines for you | TT 4

A Message from the Tarot:

November 16, 2021 ~ Tarot of the Divine

The Sun

In this deck, Yoshitani illustrates the Sun with the Egyptian Deity, Sun God Ra. He stands in a boat holding a staff; the sun blooms in the sky behind him. A snake, the symbol for transformation, circles its centre. Gulls fly over the trees into the sky. There is an optimistic, hopeful and energetic radiance shining from this card.

Egyptian Sun God Ra proves everything is illuminated with optimism and enthusiasm for the path ahead.

Yoshi Yoshitani, Tarot of the Divine Guidebook

When upright, this card speaks of satisfaction, accomplishment, joy, luck, vitality. What wonderful feelings you must be harbouring at the time you come across this reading! You have let go of doubt and your fear of missing out. You have overcome depression, refusing to see your missed opportunities as failures.

You now have courage to face life as it appears before you, understanding that it is YOU who creates your life. It is your perspective, joy, compassion, the love that you share, that can coax your reality to shift from negative to endlessly positive. Simply by changing your perspective you can see even adverse conditions as the best thing that could possibly happen to you. How can you take advantage of this situation – a small step on the way to achieving your grandest dreams and desires. 

This card does not mean you’re going to make millions on the backs of billions of slaves. This card does not speak of taking advantage of living beings or harming others in order to sustain your vitality. This card speaks to harnessing an optimistic internal compass that guides you ever in the direction of your happiness even when enduring hardships. 

You can try something new without worrying about looking silly. People’s opinion is no loss or gain to your being. Perhaps you can ask someone out without fear of rejection. Perhaps you can apply for a job without thinking “I need to get this or else.” 

The Sun does not change – only the sky does. You cannot control your sky, its clouds, storms, the external appearances you’re facing. But you can control your mindset, attitudes and beliefs so that you can patiently enjoy the journey while you travel to times of ease. Always thinking, I am gaining, never losing. 

The Sun card can even represent a feeling of pure ecstasy, creative energy, fulfilled love and happiness. It shines when a person has found their inner light, has discovered a divine wisdom, truth. You no longer rely on someone else to light your fire. You have found the passion within and, you share it with others. 

Suggestion:

Visualize the light and warmth of the Sun in your chest and heart. For the next few days, remind yourself several times daily that the sun is shining in and through you.

Remove the Veil of Deception | TT 2

A Message from the Tarot:

The Tarot of the Divine – November 2, 2021

Five of Coins

This week’s energy speaks of challenge. You may be facing a situation where you feel left out in the cold. You may be struggling alone despite being amongst many people or systems that have the potential to assist you. There is a suggestion of unwillingness to ask for help – perhaps you have been burned before. It feels safer to guard what little resources you have, stretching them thin in order to sustain your survival alone. Though you have enough to just manage, you are feeling the lack wearing you down, and you’re ready for change. 

The pentacles typically deal with finances, career or studies. The five can indicate difficulties, conflict and instability – all wonderful for guiding us toward a beneficial change we may otherwise refuse to make. There is no reason to fear! In fact, now is the perfect time to transform the stagnant energy of worry into one that feeds purposeful action. 

The image of the little girl keeping herself warm with one match at a time mirrors your situation. As soon as you feed a fire in one area of your life, it seems another goes out. As you strive to take care of your physical health, your mental health suffers. When you try to take care of your mental health, you struggle with finances. Just when your finances are in order, you realize you’re missing out on a social life. When you put time into your social life, you find you’re not sleeping enough or eating properly. You seek balance to replace this instability. 

2021 is a year of challenges, so it is not surprising to see the number five come up in the cards. This may represent a cycle you’re going through this year or it could reflect challenges you’ve always had now surfacing anew. 

Journal Questions: 

What challenge(s) am I facing alone? What help is available to me that I refuse to ask for? Is my isolation a product of fate or choice? What choices can I make that will help me overcome the adversity I am facing? What about my situation is temporary? What am I worrying about that I cannot change? How can I let that go? 

Advice from Tarot: Mirror of the Soul

You are ready to look at your situation as it is. You now have an opportunity to free yourself by initiating the necessary discussion (either with partners or with yourself). Only clear and open communication will facilitate progress.

Gerd Ziegler

A Message from the Oracle:

The Wild Unknown Archetypes – November 2, 2021

Apocolypsis

This card represents “devastation for the sake of regeneration”: the death that bears life, the grief that gives healing, the destruction that must come so something can be built anew. What truths and love does your heart keep? Ground yourself and stay true to your center. In order to move through the deficit energy the Five of Coins reveals, you must find the deficit within yourself. 

All kinds of things will be revealed during a time of apocalypsis – from big global lies to little white ones that lace the bedroom sheets. Brace yourself for the horse of truth to storm your every field.

Kim Krans

This is not your everyday transformation. Things will be shaken up on personal and global levels. You are not the only one reaching a breaking point. It can feel scary – but there is nothing to fear with this change. When we are this intensely dissatisfied, when we feel such disparate lack, when we yearn for revolution…big change has to happen to take us to a place where we can intentionally build the future we want. Individually and collectively. 

Always keep hope in such times of darkness. The sun will shine its light on a new day, no matter how black the night. You choose what to make of it. You can choose to peacefully let go of what no longer serves you with appreciation for the lessons you learned. Or you can have everything yanked out from under you as you desperately cling to familiar evils instead of embracing the love and peace coming in.

Today’s Reminder:

How you see your challenges is entirely up to you.

A Message from the Tarot:

Ten of Wands (reversed)

Today’s collective energy reveals that a cycle is coming to an end, but there is a blockage. The ten can reveal that we’re finally living what we’ve been working toward. Yet, there is something off here – is this the outcome we really desire? Are there things we can do better? Are there things we need to let go of in order to move forward? To what outdated beliefs are we still clinging? 

Out of the realization that a cycle is completed may come the recognition of a new one beginning. Where there is death, there is rebirth. The suit of wands represents passion, determination, drive and even creativity.  What is it that needs to be expressed at this moment? What are you holding back? In this particular deck, the Ten of Wands represents taking on too much and refusing to accept help; in the reverse it indicates avoidance, burnout, overcommitting, stretched thin, and giving up. As you draw upon your finish line, what is it that prevents you from taking the final step? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that life could be better? Are you afraid to define your success and receive its bounty? 

You may ask also  yourself:

In what ways am I burning myself out or stretching myself thin? What cycle do I want to end, and what is a small gift I can give myself today that works toward this? How can I nurture myself with my creative gifts and passions? What makes my heart sing, and what is one thing I can do today that feeds it? What healthy things have I given up in my life to make room for unhealthy habits? How can I let go without losing what’s important? How does the end of something create space for something new? 

A Message from the Oracle:

The Nectar

Based on today’s Tarot card, it seems we may all be in need of some medicine nectar!  The warm pink, orange, yellow and purple hues in this card suggest that answers to today’s problems can be found within. It is important to connect to your heart space (or your feelings) to confirm you have an abundance of love, kindness and compassion to share with others. These do not take from you when you expect nothing in return. 

The oracle suggests you may find yourself reaching for external solutions that appear black and white, solid, clear. These may help – but only temporarily – until you are ready to discover what you need is already contained within. As you unearth your buried feelings, you may feel at times that there is darkness ready to consume the light. These shadows may be a part of who we are right now, but they too are temporary and can be eradicated permanently. Your kindness, love, and supreme good qualities will always outweigh your darkness, your mistakes, your pain.

The only thing you must remember, is to tap into your internal wealth of medicine nectar and keep trying even in the face of remarkable hardship. Looking within, you can see the healing has begun, and you have already triumphed. You’ve won. You can and will heal. 

From Kim Krans’ Guidebook:

Sense the nectar within you, dripping from the crown of the head and soothing the brain. Let it drip down the spine like sweet honey. 

Kim Krans, Wild Unknown Archetypes Guidebook

Oracle Question: 

What adverse condition or poison in your life can you transform so you can work toward becoming stronger, healing, instead?

Today’s Reminder:

Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.
