This week's mini read for 8/14/23-8/20/23 was thrown with the "Never Ending Story" Tarot. This deck consists of only the Major Arcana and is used like an oracle deck.
You have come to understand the true "power of the tower moments" in your life. And each time these moments occur they offer the opportunity to expand your awareness. You understand there is no end to these "towers" occurring, as they are a part of growth and that your story is always evolving, and awareness is something that can always be gained or acquired. You understand that with new awareness brings new perspectives and in order for something new to come in or a new foundation to be laid, something old must be removed or deconstructed. You understand the power of discernment and questioning yourself and things around you.
However, that human part of you sometimes gets stuck from time to time in the in-between. Taking a pause of inaction, as you work through the process of letting go of the old, what you once knew, before moving into that next phase where you are ready to take that courageous step forward into the "unknown".
These towers lead you to "mirror moments", where you must confront yourself with the raw real truths, with the newfound awareness you gained in a situation, a relationship, or a construct. You must reflect on what you once knew, who you once were, and process and heal through those profound moments. It's the pause, the reflection, and the acceptance that are great catalysts for the change you seek. Its understanding the duality in EVERYTHING in your life and that balance only exists from the acknowledgement and awareness that duality will always be present and it's not something you can run from. It's not "out with the old and in with the new", but an appreciation for what was, lessons learned, wisdom gained, as well as, gratitude for what has now grown in the space that was "cleared".
To expand and elevate one's consciousness means to understand that with every new perspective will come new lessons. Your story is truly never-ending. There are multiple timelines always at play, new versions of you are just waiting to be stepped into. Every single time you choose to remember that you are infinite and limitless and refuse to box yourself into a particular construct or label, while viewing life with the perspective of having an open mind, another road winds upward on your spiral pathway. You may find yourself "retreating" a bit, not out of fear or because you are overwhelmed, but because you understand that this a time of great transformation and you have reached a "pivotal point" in taking your power back on your personal journey. You understand what it means to walk in authenticity unapologetically!
