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 all this ‘control, you can’t control life, your can’t control yourself or 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 looking to your options, to what inspires, get excited about them, perhaps outside your comfort zone, leading to the future…
What are my choices? Tarot, to deepen my knowledge and ability to give readings that powerfully connect people to their full potential to feel free and empowered to live the life that is right for them.
To give readings that connects them to deep inner belief in themselves their own ability to navigate life and indeed have faith in the wonder 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.
If I take the advice and focus on future options that inspire i.e. the development of the next iteration of my tarot reading skill and offering, as well as finding a dog…then the day looks set to be interesting, with four tarot readings ahead of me, and making a first step enquiry at Battersea dogs home?!
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!
