3 Card Draw

Starting Monday morning with a 3 card draw - Mind, Body, Spirit.


Mind - Knight of Swords.  This Knight is focused, intense and determined.  That rush of energy that accompanies a new project is the energy of the Knight of Swords.  While you can't go wrong with this kind of determination, it can also have tunnel vision or be blind to problems and obstacles.  Use the focus and the energy, but be aware of other things along side of the chosen path.

Body - Strength.  Not only physical strength, but strength of character is the message of the Strength card.  Determination and focus, like the Knight of Swords, but tempered with wisdom, compassion and the ability to be strong without having to prove it.  A healthy mind in a healthy body is the ultimate balance to carry through our lives.

Spirit - King of Pentacles.  This King embodies security and success, not only on the physical plane but also through his willingness to teach, share and motivate others.   Confidence comes from success without and without and is portrayed in a freedom and generosity of spirit.

This reading seems to be all about a successful new project, job, activity.  The enthusiasm for success is here in plenty, the wisdom to not rush off helter skelter and the patience of balance and a generous spirit of success.

Have a great week.

The Strength Card





I did a guided meditation a couple of days ago and was told to pay attention to the Tarot card "Strength" This is the Shadowscapes Tarot.

The card speaks of perseverance, having confidence and unshakable resolve. There are many kinds of strength; strength is adaptive and passionate but not uncontrolled.
This card also attaches the swan and cats to the central figures. The swan is a Celtic symbol of movement and success or glory. Cats have been seen in many cultures as symbols of freedom and creativity, in this context they might also be a distraction from the main goal.
As an outcome card Strength tells us to keep moving toward the goal and attain success. As an advice card Strength tell us not to let emotions run unchecked and distract us.
Strength can also be about courage and a reminder that courage is not the absence of fear, but rather taking action in the face of fear.
