The Lovers

The Lovers form Spell Caster’s Tarot.

The Lovers Major Arcanum 6, guides us through the week of October 21 to 27 2019.

We have the number 6, which is about love, harmony, caring and awareness.

We are in the element of Air, which is about objectivity, communication and identity.

In the card, we see a couple holding hands and looking into each other’s eyes.
Clearly they are connecting and there is a bond between them.

This week relationships of all kinds will play an important role in your life.

You may find yourself reflecting objectively on your important ties. These could be romantic, family members, friends or business partners.

You may be pondering over what you have in common and how you differ.

Do you share the same values?
How long have you been there for each other?
How strong is your bond now?
Have you made promises to each other or are you about to?
Are you going to keep them?
How loyal are you?

On the other hand, you may be trying to figure out what your are passionate about in life and commit to a path that reflects your values.

The Lovers invites you to be loving and kind and to recognize that love and compassion are powerful forces.

We all need to feel loved and understood, therefore we must live in a way that is consistent with building strong connections with people. Who will than be at our side through the ups and downs, just as we will be for them.

The love of the 6 in combination with the objectivity and sense of identity of the element of Air is compelling.
As such, it invites us to be strong, caring and courageously walk the talk.

Honour your word by taking actions that support your principles.

Five of Wands

Five of Wands from Spell Caster’s deck

Hi everyone.
The card for the week of October 15 to 20 2019 is the Five of Wands.

Sorry, I am a day behind, but as most of you know, we just had a long week end in Canada and I was busy celebrating.

The Five is a number of unrest, instability, curiosity and adaptability.
Wands to me is the element of Fire, which is concerned with passion, motives, beliefs, will, creativity, power and movement.

What does it mean for you?
Since this card has to speak to anyone reading this post this week, you may have to apply it the way that best fits your own situation.
I am going to give you an idea of the challenges and opportunities presented by the card. See which one resonates with you.

On a very mundane level
it could indicate that you will spend time following political debates or watching or participating in sports.

On a deeper level
This is a dynamic week. For some of us the holiday is over and we have less days to accomplish our tasks.
We need to be smart with our time and energy. Since others are in the same situation conflict can arise.
Wishes, goals and priorities are at odds.
We have competition.
We need to work harder and smarter to get what we want.

Something else you may want to consider is better teamwork.

Often the Five of Wands represents situations where a close group of people are at odds deciding which is the best way to do something.

The group could be at work, at home, a sport team or a group of friends.

We need to keep in mind that the best interest of the group is more important than the ego of each individual.
Fighting each other weakens the group. To move forward successfully cooperation is required.

The Hermit

The Hermit from the Spell Caster’s tarot deck.

The Hermit is guiding us through the week of October 7 to 13 2019.

This is a Major Arcana. There are 22 Majors and 56 Minors in a Tarot deck.

A Major is like a power player. When one shows up we pay close attention. What we do with the opportunities or the challenges that it represents will affect us deeply and for a longer period of time than with a Minor.

When you see the Hermit think of :

alone time,
introspection,
learning or teaching,
reflecting on the past,
life experience,
wisdom,
people from our past,
shining a light,
discovery or rediscovery of sexuality,
travel related to teaching or learning.

What does this mean for you?

You may travel to attend a workshop, a conference or to do research.

You may feel a need to spend more time alone.

You might reconnect with someone from your past.

You may give or receive good advice.

The appearance of this card suggests you would benefit from turning away from distractions and seriously deal with whatever needs your full attention.

Do you have the knowledge and the skills you require?

If you don’t, do your homework, dig deep and if you still struggle, seek the help of someone who has more knowledge or experience in the area that is troubling you.

He or she could be a teacher, a counsellor, a professional, or someone who has already dealt with the issue you are facing.
