It’s no shocker that the cards thrown this week go hand in hand with the new planetary shifts. We start off with an emotional 6 of chalices. A woman is holding 5 chalices on her back and longingly filling up the 6th chalices. Water being the symbol in tarot of emotions, we can see this woman has a lid on the 5 jars she carries. She has brought with her into the present her bottled up or pent-up emotional baggage. We can see even with 5 full chalices on her back she still seems to think that what she carries already isn’t enough. To her the cup is empty. She is looking for things outside of herself to fill up her cup. We can all agree, from anyone looking from the seat of the observer, that her chalices clearly aren’t empty and this signifies a large lack-mindset and a further understanding of just where she is at in life right now.
The second and third cards go hand in hand for me. The knight of wands is all about fiery, passionate energy, and straight forward movement. The 3rd card is exactly what we are moving into here. The Magician with the symbiology of “777” on its card signifies the moving out of a lack mindset and into a quieted period of self-reflection. Notice the triangles on his wardrobe, this is a subtle reminder that the goal of this quiet reflection is to bring mind, body, and soul together as one entity. At this time, one is sitting with themselves and source. Notice the chalices are no where to be found, the person is sitting almost naked, chest open and palms upward. This is signifying a state of extreme vulnerability and openness during this time of reflection. You have laid down your tools before you and sat humbly and honestly with yourself.
With the fourth card being the moon card, this signifies that your time sitting with yourself humbly and in stillness has illumined many perceived faults and shined light on your “shadow self”. The wheel in the center of the card and the reflective introverted imagery further shows not only how you were standing in your own way this whole time, but how this has been a constant rotating circular cycle for you. Meaning you have confronted this lack-mindset many times in your life, maybe with new people and faces, but the same core lesson. This having been thrown before the Tower card further implies you having made a grand discovery, one that shook your foundation. This whole time while you were blaming everything outside of yourself for your lack, you are now faced with the truth that you are the cause of this trend in your life. My team is saying to remind yourself to have empathy for not having realized this sooner and try not to beat yourself up too much! But they are saying to look around and see if there was any innocent or miss targeted people in your collateral damage. As a friend of mine says, “now that you know better, you can do better”.
This row is closed out with the judgment card, and how fitting that is. Notice again the use of the number 3 much like the triangles from before, you have successfully blended if only for a moment, mind, body, and soul into one. She blows the horn of cease and celebration! Her wings are open and proud while the white flower signifying your opening and rebirth is in full bloom. My team is taking the lovers card as an inside merger rather than an outside one. Meaning instead of finding a divine counter part outside of yourself, it lends itself to the notion that you have joined, or started to join, the masculine and feminine aspects of self into you. The very beginning stage of the “Kundalini Rising”.
There is no more time to rest! You aren’t done quite yet! The side-by-side pentacles cards reveal the need to stay balanced. The 3 of pentacles is pointing you to keep moving forward through what might seem like unsteady or difficult times, of the 2 of pentacles. My team says, “the balancing act has begun”. She carefully walks across the pentacles; she looks as though she wants to take a peek behind her. However, the very next card is saying to keep it moving! Do not look back now, trust in faith that what you are doing and where you are headed are all part of the greater plan. Looking back can cause unneeded hardship right now. This sentiment is further backed by the last and final two cards, the Chariot and the Star. The star she stands yet again vulnerable and open before the master table, with her building blocks and prayer beads. She asks only one question, “where to go from here?”. The Chariot holding in his right hand a symbol of faith and in his left hand a paused hour-glass signifying that there is no time to waste. He is in control of his destiny. Notice he is blind folded and not holding the reins of his carriage. One white horse and one dark horse, a pretty good representation of the delicate balance we all ride with. He doesn’t need to see where he is traveling, for he goes in faith and knowing in the greater plan.
You are moving through all the obstacles and challenges before you now with faith while standing in your power to command your mindset. But let’s not forget pentacles are also a representation of material things. This is also a signification of great creativity and collaboration as you continue to navigate this rocky path. Congrats on your soon to be achievements!
