When you get a tarot reading that you don’t want!
When you get a tarot reading you don’t want!
Which is what I got this morning! A reading that perfectly reflected what was going on in mind ….9 of swords…worry, regret, anxiety, same ol’ stressy Sue…..my mind churning with should I be doing? this, or that? Or the other? Or none of the above.
Up at 6 am to be able to watch the sunrise slowly spread its red glow across the sky and still unable to take it in, be there, feel the beauty, grateful.
Disappointed I pulled a second card. Ten of Swords. OMG! Let go of all this thinking! Let go of trying to control your life, let go of things beyond your control. Let go of Ego. Let go. You can’t control life, your can’t control life, you certainly can’t control others, there’s nothing thinking is going to do, let go let go, let go…….for a new dawn.
Stop worrying! Give up trying to control everything! Look to future options
Please I thought, and then what? Good news, encouragement, give me something to focus on, and I pulled the two of Wands, which is all about choice, looking at your options, to what inspires.. Get excited about them, they may be outside your comfort zone, leading to the future…
What are choices that inspire me in the future? Tarot, to deepen my knowledge and ability to give readings that are more powerful, that profoundly connect people to their full potential and the freedom to live empowered lives.
To give readings that connects to deep inner belief in ourselves and indeed have faith in the wonder and possibility of life. So that they feel a freedom and optimism and connectedness to all life and their place in it.
Of course much comes from understanding and being friends with yourself…..e.g. I am the perfect example of someone who needs that! before I pulled the cards, I could have told you my mental state, and I could have given myself the advice the other two confirmed.
And indeed I as many turn to Tarot for comfort and encouragement. I was hoping for something different…some card like Temperance, that says stop being impatient, still your desires, fears and doubts, embrace temperance and the middle way…
So I thought the reading was a bit harsh! But perhaps we need direct honest no sweet talking readings from time to time, to pull ourselves up and realise our responsibility in this game. Equally when you are feeling ten of swords and nine of swords what else can you do to get out of thinking about everything in the past, regrets, problems, challenges, except turn around and get excited about what inspires in the future. So good advice as it turns out!
I’m going to focus on
1. the development of the next iteration of my tarot reading skill and offering
2. start looking for a dog …The dog’s trust/battersea dogs home, here I come. I’ll keep you posted.
Do come and have a reading with me, online or in battersea, the Tarot is a wonderful tool to get you out of the doldrums when are loitering in anxiety and indecision and can’t decide what to do!
