Three card tarot readings have so much to offer.
Three card tarot readings I am discovering, rather late in life, can be invaluable. I only really do them at events, birthday parties, hen dos when there’s only time to give shortish readings. However preparing for an event for The House of Beaut last Saturday, followed by a hen do…I did a bit of research on the variety of questions, situations of enquiry were possible.
And found so many version I thought I would do a reading on an issue that is concerning me. I did it this morning.
Card no 1. The heart of the matter was the King of Cups.
Card no 2. The Challenge you are meeting, the Moon
Card no 3. The Advice…..8 of pentacles…..I choose to…..
What surprised me about this, was how accurately the King of Cups perfectly described how I had been feeling in general and particularly about my underlying panic around this relationship. While the first card described me and my feelings (it most likely described hers as well!)
I even said to my incredibly capable and confident godson yesterday, ‘talking to you calms me down’ and admitted I have been feeling all over the place, panicky, feeling out of my depth, much less confident about things, double checking journeys, getting nervous about having to deal with tech stuff. I was saying saying ‘its an old age’ thing…I used to be so confident and unflappable. Now the idea of printing out air tickets, booking cars to the airport, having all your reservations in one place, feels stressful. And it’s all to do with technology, the Tv loses connection, Alexa doesn’t work for some reason… things just don’t work the way they used to…everything is online. You can’t pick up the phone and talk to someone when your internet drops, like yesterday! You can’t have a rant at Sky because they have clearly cut me off because I’ve moved to another provider, but (as I understood it and was assured, I think ) the switch wouldn’t happen until the equipment was installed. And said godson is coming to install (another thing I ‘can’t do) today!
The thing is, it isn’t that we can’t do it….but it is a challenge too far sometimes! And it is easy to panic and give up, I find.
The King of Cups perfectly described also my feelings around this relationship.
Am feeling all at sea, too many emotions I can’t seem to control, despite all the king of cups emotional intelligence!! Which I have in spades. However when he gets too emotional it all goes pair shaped exactly because he’s a king and likes to be in control! And that’s how I’m feeling.
So second card. The Challenge. The Moon. My first thought was when you are feeling hormonal everything is out of balance, you can’t see clearly your fears get the better of you.
Your inner demons come out and play, often of course all unconscious stuff that comes from the past, hurts doubts fears of betrayal, etc. and then there’s all that delusion and illusion that comes from projection. Projection isn’t an easy thing to sort. OK we know perfectly well these fearful feelings come from some past hurt, but the trouble is the feelings are under the light of the moon, unclear, unresolved, but still projecting into your energy field, and being received by others, who respond just as anyone would when being projected with underlying fear and distrust (in my case) by feeling defensively and even under attack or at the least met with impatience…..
Of course in a relationship this is the moment when by expressing our feelings we might be able to bring them out into full light, where they no longer look so shadowy and fearful…except the recipient is quite likely (already feeling defensive and judged by the projection) thinks we are blaming them. Which we are …..but! And it is a genuine BUT. I am so over going over the past, after all there is plenty which hurt them. Its just in this case the other scares the bejesus out of me when she gets angry AND! When I get angry. MY ANGER is scary and in order to control it, it feels dangerous.
Trying to get these things out in the open where they are less scary is the skill. A skill I don’t have as I’m too afraid of getting it wrong and the resulting anger on both sides! A conundrum indeed.
And remember the challenge is what we are both being asked to travel through….the shadow of the valley of death…to the SUN. happy days of us singing our childhood songs in the card. That old familiar fellowship of sisterhood at its best, when you crack up with laughter and feel joy and connection flow through your veins.
To the Advice card. The Eight of Pentacles. Which has been turning up a lot in my readings of the last month! Working away at it. the card of perfecting. It’s a card of commitment, dedication. Commitment and Dedication are words that resonate!
Its worth saying ‘I choose to be committed and dedicated to healing our relationship and restoring it trust and enjoying each other and having fun! ’ I can get into that affirmation.
Should we have a safe word? I’ve heard they can be useful to interrupt a conversation heading in the wrong direction. Hmm worth thinking about.
So useful to see the Tarot’s point of view. Thank you
Do come and have a tarot reading with my online or in person in Battersea. It is a marvel.
