I pulled it as my daily reflection card today.

the moon tarot card — When our inner demons come out to play…..

I always feel a bit unsure about the Moon, which isn’t that odd as it is all about illusion, delusion, inner demons, facing your fears, the subconscious, conscious, unconscious….looking at the card feels psychologically disturbing unsettled and unclear. It doesn’t look happy. Troubled is the vibe I am getting. Which is exactly how I have been feeling the last couple of days, and infuriatingly I can’t quite pin my change of mood on anything…its lots of things niggling away.

When I pulled this card this morning, my thoughts went like this

Illusion, delusion, unfathomable undercurrents/feelings I can’t quite put my finger on…Projection! Now that’s a big one I often find with the Moon. So often we project our own feelings fears doubts insecurities old wounds out into the world.

So lets start there…what might I be projecting and thereby is showing up?

First up is this undiagnosed hand stiffness inflammation pain that is bring up all sorts of anxiety, question marks, reminding me of the early days when I had a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. A lot of soul searching went on then. It seemed important to identify the cause, the trigger, the psychological trigger, the stressor.

And here I am again. Perhaps being asked to ‘face my inner demons’ and bring them out into the light……in order to get into the SUN! Ugh.

I seem to remember once identified it was more about acceptance, acknowledgement, recognition, kindness, allowing, that was the way through.

With a certain amount of help from the wonderful National Health.

But in the end it sent me down the alternative route, to gut health, to Eft, to Energy Medicine, to qi gong, to all the modalities I learned about and include in my life now to keep it in balance. And I ‘was cured’. Or it departed. …..and is back??

I suppose the Moon is reflecting a lens through which to view today. A day to ask of your present situation, what is lurking behind the scenes that needs to be brought out into the bright sunlight? I often think this card refers to the psychological aspect of ourselves.

Mind you it is the full moon tomorrow!! So perhaps it is just pointing to be prepared for that? Ever hopeful.

And so I pulled a second card as a clarifying, tell me more, advice card.

The four of Wands.

I very much see the four of wands as individuals coming together creatively, each wand a spark of inspiration and together forming a square, a foundation, a base from which to thrive! I see greater potential for the individual to thrive in the collective, that each stand alone and yet together…that the whole is greater than the sum of its part. And am often reminded of Kahil Gibran’s poem on marriage in the Prophet and the image of two trees standing back to back looking out into the world.

Will ponder this and come back to you.

Meanwhile do come and have a reading with me online or in person in Battersea.

Its the full moon tomorrow!

The Death card again!
