Three of Cups

I pulled the 3 of cups, 3 times, from 2 different decks.  So now that I am over myself and the angels of the Tarot are throughly exhausted with me I can write and reflect.

3 to me is always a great number. I never, even though I am a Libra dislike grouping two, four, etc. Its always 3, 5, 7 and so on. Love the old saying "there's luck in 3's"? The third time is a charm? Its also mentioned in the prayer "when 2 or more together" bringing a higher vibration to the prayer request.

These three ladies dancing in the moodlight, raises their cups in joy/celebration indicate a very positive card, an upswing in events.  They are indeed three muses, love, life, celebration, all good things flowing into one. They appear to not have a care in the world and are dancing in the lush garden of life.

This card usually is an omen of celebration, love, wealth, happiness, return of something or someone long lost to you.

Hearts

I was reminded today by a beautiful lesson on how tender our hearts become when we allow love to enter.

It is similar to the Fool tarot card since it is a true leap of faith to allow another in that sacred place.  We risk all by letting our guard down. Once hurt, maybe over and over again or even a single incident that was so deep we are scarred for life, it becomes more and more difficult to trust and allow another into that guarded palace of the soul.

We also are challenged by the needs of the body: shelter, food, security, the very basic necessities for living or chasing a "bigger carrot" that we forget that without love and someone to share life with its completely meaningless.

As a Libra I am striving for balance and the best possible out come. To walk in the sun and the sand without a hand to hold is indeed a lonely thing, no matter how lovely the view.

Ten of Pentacles

Ten of Pentacles

I didn't choose a traditional image for the ten of pentacles. I like the look and feel of this one as opposed to the Rider-Waite deck image.

I have pulled this card many times in the last month. As Nancy taught, the deck says when I ask over and over again "why don't you trust me" I have to agree. It is the almost too good to be true card. Financial success/windfall/lottery/inheritance. End of troubles. Happy family, secure children, loving couple that have it all. And a wise man thrown in to boot!

I like to think of the dragon over head as a guardian figure, "all who pass through this arch to the light are under my care and protection as I carefully watch over my charges".

I am sure the angels would slap me, oh ye of little faith, as I pray over my reading and keep getting this card.

My wheel has certainly moved forward this week in some very unexpected progress, so I will sit back and let the universe take charge.

Farewell Queen of Wands

It is with much sadness our much admired Queen of Wands aka Nancy Fenn has passed from the earthly plane.

Many of us know what a great teacher Nancy was, but she truly cared for others and was an amazing healer. During the lowest part of the economic downturn she headed up a huge master prayer group. She spent countless hours working the site.  We all listened to and encouraged each other. This was an exceptionally difficult time for me as my husband had tried to take his life, and between taking him to hospitals, doctors, I had little time for work to support us and was at a very low point. The care and healing I received got me through this terrible time.

Nancy then encouraged me to join her astrology class. She laughed and said "its not what you think, some wild eyed gypsy clawing a crystal ball" and she was so right. The history, the symbols, the math, amazing how the threads come together. Nancy had done my chart which has a perfect diamond or kite pattern, straight from moon to sun which she said is very very unusual and that I was going to be very good at this.

I am still learning from her now. Rest dear Nancy, your journey was very rough at the end. Peace to you dear Queen of Wands.

Well May 16th two years ago was certainly the "death" of a situation.  I pulled this card twice in a row today. No one really likes the death card due to ominous feel of it. However, the pale rider means something usually very different, not death of the body. It is often then end of a job, relationship so you can move on in a positive direction. There is light behind the rider, meaning positive things to come.
Think of it as sort of a "spring cleaning" for mind, body and soul so you can progress towards a brighter and happier future.

The Lovers

Well I don't think rocket science is needed to depict this card. These two are in love/lust with each other and can't get enough of each other.

Their sexually energy is undeniable but comes from pure love otherwise it really isn't worth it. They are bound together through heaven and earth.

Good Friday & The Fool

I guess he depicts the way I feel today, and I pulled him 3 times so you know what that means, this is your card of the day like it or not.

He is supposed to be a positive card but he is a "zero" meaning is he the beginning of the tarot or the end? I am back to the beginning on an issue that has been in my life for about a year, and can relate to the fool. Some things I started need to be looked at and either abandoned and move on or take a different approach in order to feel complete. At least the fool has his little dog for company, this is the first time in my life that I don't have one and so wish I did.
