Tarot Contemplation – Eight of Cups

tarot_8cups

You will choose to leave a situation that is no longer working for you — whether that’s a relationship, a job, or living arrangement, trust yourself.  Instead of this coming out of the blue, or someone or something leaving you, it usually means that you are the one who will make this choice.  Very often one door has to close behind you before the next door in front of you can fully open.  Your current job may no longer be appropriate for you.  You may be feeling bored, or under appreciated.  Think long and hard about which is best; trying to fix things where you are, or moving on.  Either option can work for you.  One thing is for sure, though:  things are not going to change for the better on their own.  If you’re dissatisfied, get specific on what changes would need to happen for you to be happier where you are.  If it’s unlikely or impossible to change those things, then get moving on finding yourself a new position.  You can do it.  You may decide that a long term relationship is going to end.  If you are sure about this, don’t wait for the right time, as there will never be a good time to tell someone that the relationship needs to be over.  Don’t jump headlong into a new relationship.  Give yourself some time and space to be on your own, first.  If you are utterly miserable in your current line of work, don’t let the security of a regular paycheck tie you forever to the job.  Rather, look before you leap before getting out.  Health insurance, particularly in the USA, is a huge concern.  However, with foresight and planning, and attention to detail, you can make it happen.  Just be sure your plans are well laid and comprehensive.  Money isn’t everything.  Stress may be getting to you and causing health problems.  Be sure that you are paying adequate attention to diet, exercise and sleep.  Keep a positive attitude.  You may need time alone.  Take it.  You will find depth and wisdom in solitude and in listening to the still, small voice inside.

Tarot Contemplation – Strength

Today’s focus is on mind over matter … and a reminder to focus on what you do want, rather than what you don’t want in your life.  Its main point is that you have the ability to harness your thoughts and to use them for your — and everyone else’s — highest good.  Not only do you have the ability, you have the responsibility.  Conquer your fears. Control your impulses.  Do not lose patience with yourself or what you are doing.  Meditation now is key.  Contemplate and spend the time alone, even if you are in a committed relationship and have kids.  This is no time to spend in preoccupation and fear.  Of paramount importance today is for you to keep your head on straight.  This is a good time to correct bad habits if you need to do so in order to protect your health.  To be truly strong, you must pay attention to and develop each leg of the triad we are made from:  body, mind and spirit.  Be sure you are spending time focusing on each of the three.  The Universe is reminding you today that you are strong and probably stronger than you think.  Yes, it can get better!

Tarot Contemplation – Two of Wands

Rebalancing energies on every front today, which also means giving yourself equal attention by way of eating healthy, allowing for some alone-downtime for meditation and enough hours of bed rest.  Remain or get positive to rebalance more quickly.  The development within comes from achieving your approach to keeping the details of your life on an even keel.  You’re about to fit things together in new or unusual ways.  Don’t let anyone knock you off your stride.  Pay attention to your ideas about equality and balance and share them.  And, don’t judge books by their covers … you’re just limiting your opportunities when you do.  This is an excellent day to do more energywork cleansing and rebalancing your chakras and clearing your Third Eye.

Seven seems to be a magical number in many cultures, and is often imbued with mystical and religious attributes.
