Ace of wands from Anna K
Tarot deck

Hi everyone.

Welcome to Looking at life through Tarot and Numerology, part 3.
A personal month 1 is like an ace of wands experience.

May is for me a personal month 1 in a personal year 5.

1 in Numerology is a time of new ideas, new opportunities.
A time of enthusiasm and leadership. A time to move on with life.

After the sadness and turmoil of last month, I am charged and ready to go.

My son moved out and I moved in.
He just turned 20 and he decided to go live with four friends.
Fortunately he did not move far, so I will be able to see him on a regular base. Yet it will not be the same.

Him moving out is an 8 of cups moment.
He loves his family and his home, but at 20 he is eager to spread his wings.

Clearly I wish him all the best.
I cannot control his choices any more, but I can decide how to respond.

I have set up my new office in his old room and I am quite happy with the results. Everything I need for Tarot, Numerology and Reiki is right there. Now that I have a dedicated space for my work I will be able to extend my hours of operation,

The month is still young, what else will I take on?

Numerology, Personal month 9.

May 6, 2015 by Anna

Hi everyone.

Welcome to Looking at life through Tarot and Numerology. Part 2.

Numerology, Personal month 9.

April 2015 was for me a Personal month 9 in a personal year 5.
Personal months in Numerology are like little mini me of personal years.
They show the challenges and opportunities we will face in each given month.

9 in Numerology stands for the end of a cycle. It is a time to finish our projects, let go of people and situations we have outgrown. It is a time to let go.
The more we release the more time and energy we will have to receive all the new opportunities that will follow in a 1 personal month or year.

A Personal month 9 is not easy because it is hard to let go.

In Tarot the Death card represents those moments when something or someone has reached the end of the road.

The Death card is about inevitable change. It is about going through a door that will let us into a new environment or situation. New customs, new habits.

On Easter Monday, April 6, my loyal friend, my biggest fan, Max (my dog) , suddenly passed away.
He had been at my side for over 13 years.
I am not ashamed to say that for the first few days I had a hard time even breathing.
Weeks have gone by. I will miss him forever, but I have now regained my footing.

Also in April I had to come to terms with my son getting ready to move out.
He turns 20 in May and he wants to spread his wings.
In Tarot that is an 8 of cups moment, when we leave behind something that we once treasured, but that we feel we have outgrown.
Clearly I wish him well and I hope his wings are strong and that he knows how to use them.

Death card

April 2, 2015 by Anna

Death card from the Gilded Tarot deck by Ciro Marchetti.

I feel on the edge lately.

I am in a personal year 5, which means instability and dealing with lot’s of changes.

April is a personal month 9. A time to finish things up, let go, move on.

I am a Virgo, an Earth sign. I like stability. I even enjoy rituals and routine.

All this change is making me a bit uncomfortable. Perhaps what bugs me the most is that the majority of this changes are created by people around me. They affect me, but since they are not of my own making, I have no control over them.

I like control, or the illusion of it.
I like the Emperor card. Clear boundaries, clear expectations, clear consequences.

As I was attempting to put my emotions into words, as usual, I reached for a Tarot deck.

I tend to see my world through the cards.
I asked my self which cards reflect what I am going through?

This month I am using the Gilded deck by Ciro Marchetti.

As I started to look at the cards the 8 of cups, the page of swords and the 3 of wands resonated with me.

I could see how the 8 of cups represents the things and the people that are moving out of my life.

The page of sword was clearly me nervously aware of the wind of change and getting ready to react.

The 3 of wands expresses my impatience. The way I see it, if change is coming we may as well get it over with. I am not good at waiting.

Yet not satisfied, I asked Tarot which card I needed to meditate on.

It did not surprise me that I got the Death card.

I see it as a reminder that change is inevitable.

The element of Death is water.
As we know, water likes to flow and merge.
Stagnant water is not healthy, after a while it starts to stink.

Water likes to go around obstacles, but over time water can shape rocks.

Death is inevitable. Sooner or later it comes for everyone.

This card reminds me that something has outgrown its purpose.
It is time to prune the old to make space for the new.

It is time to simplify. Let go of the redundant to concentrate on the essential.
It is time to surrender and accept the new order.
