Looking Up From A Bad Spot

This reading was done in relation to a 3 of Swords situation.

Looking up From A Bad Spot

 

Past – Knight of Wands

Present – Ace of Cups

Future – 9 of Wands

The Past

Knight of Wands usually depicts an untrustworthy or undependable person.  The source of his motivation is often flawed by actions that are geared toward obtaining what he wants.  He would be the type that would sell you something that was not real or has no real chance of manifesting, like a new age brand of magic beans when the other beans worked just fine for Jack.  It is not clear if he intends to be this way in this reading but the outcome is the same.    As 3 of swords depicts some sort of heartbreak, in its most romanticized form a love unrequited, to see this type of character phasing out is a good sign.

The Present

Ace of Cups ask us to relax and enjoy the positives in our life.  Activities that lead to emotional fulfillment are the tasks to occupy oneself with to increase a sense of health and wellbeing.  Spending time and talking with positive people will also yield good results that may help us feel like a more joyful person.

The Future

9 of Wands ask for us to be on the lookout for similar patterns that led up to the 3 of swords situation in the first place.  Be watchful that we are not making the same mistakes that will lead to allowing undependable people into our lives or participating in activities that drain us of our livelihood.  The watcher in this a card always looks battle worn because he has been tested and to fool him twice is not often easy to do.  Be confident in your ability to stave off things, people, and situations you consider to be ushers of nonsense.

Tarot To The Top,

Happy 2013

FortuneHappy 2013!  I wish everyone a beautiful New Year filled with the very best symbolic fresh starts have to offer.  I am looking forward to working on the blog more often and keeping you all up to speed with my latest explorations utilizing Tarot.  I apologize to my readers for falling off last year.  I suffered a bit of depression after realizing that family is not always friendly and associates are not always helpful, but I AM BACK and looking forward to beneficent longevity in this beloved field of Mystical studies.

Why I love Tarot?  I love Tarot because it allows for the mind to perceive a situation from a different perspective.  To me, a tarot deck is like talking to a friend about a problem except you draw your own advice through meditation utilizing symbolism (and with the help of books, keywords and phrases).  This year I will continue to utilize the Rider-Waite Deck Tarot Deck published by U.S. Game Systems Inc.
