November, Page of swords and Wheel of Fortune.

November 14, 2016 by Anna

Page of swords and Wheel of Fortune

So far this month has felt like a roller coaster.

I, like many others, am trying to figure out what will be the consequences of the recent election in the United States.

There is a lot of uncertainty in the air.

Closer to my home there have also been lots of changes and the “dust” has yet to settle completely.

Lately I have consulted Tarot more often than usual and it has been helpful.

From a Numerology perspective we are at the end of a Universal year 9. The high level of emotions in the air should not surprise us.

In a year 9 we prepare for a shift. We let go of what we have outgrown to make space for new endeavors. We finish things up.

At the end of a year 9 we feel the sadness of leaving the familiar. We sense the shift in the air, but are yet unable to see it clearly.

If I had to put it in Tarot words I would pick the Page of Swords (air) and the Wheel of Fortune (earth).

Every month I pick a different deck for personal use . The current one is The Guilded Tarot deck by Ciro Marchetti.

The Page of air is about news that foretell of change coming. The page of swords well represents the nervousness felt, the vigilance and the strong desire to be ready to react fast.

The Wheel of Fortune shows the strong external energy at play. Think of being in a ship picked up by a huge wave. You cannot fight it. You do not know where you are going. You need to wait for the wave to end before you can see where you are and appraise the situation.

The Wheel upright will usher in new opportunities, a fresh start.
The Wheel reversed will bring in many challenges.

Time will tell.

Reflecting about family and heritage with the help of Tarot.

August 27, 2016 by Anna

My mom and her long time companion have just gone back to Italy after spending 25 days with me in Canada.

FamilyI was lucky to spend time with both.

While living and travelling with them, I had the opportunity to get reacquainted with my mom.

She looks very good for her age, but time passes for everyone. She has changed a lot. I was not prepared for it.

There is a new fragility about her. She has always been strong like a rock. The queen of Air I know, is now somewhat vulnerable. That changes the dynamics established between us over a life time.

Interacting with her has made me more aware of the changes in both of our lives.

As I reflect about family and heritage, I have decided to pick 7 Tarot cards to help me put into words what I am feeling.

6 of Water, 10 of Earth, 2 of Water, 6 of Earth from Gaian Tarot.The 6 of Water represents my childhood, my memories of growing up. It is a collection of snapshots of moments, feelings and experiences shared with people I once loved.

The 10 of Earth stands for my upbringing, for the times I grew up in, customs, traditions I have learned from my family and my country of origin.

The 2 of Water represents the love, affinity, loyalty and joy that I share with my family, my original pack.

The 6 of Earth is the give and get of every relationship. It changes over time and is different with every person, but at the base there is a common principal of fairness and cooperation.

The Wheel of Fortune reminds me of the inevitable passing of time and of the changes that come with it.
The now vulnerable children  will grow and their strong parents will weaken. As adults they will perhaps have children of their own. If they are lucky, they will be able to depend on them when they too will become old.

 

Wheel , Lovers and The Gardener from the Gaian Tarot deckThe Lovers card speaks to us of love, loyalty and commitment. Of honouring our promises and making important decisions from a place of love and compassion.

 

 

Lastly, the Empress (Gardener) is the nurturing and creative side of life. It is our mother, the one that nurtures, protects us, guides us, encourages us and eventually gives us the courage and the space to spread our wings and become who we want to be.

Never is the circle of life as clear as when several generations gather together for family events.
What about you?  What do you think? Would you pick different cards? If so, what cards and why?

Wheel and two of fire.

August 28, 2015 by Anna

wheel and two of fire
Hi everyone.

Today we look at the Wheel of Fortune and the 2 of fire from the Gaian Tarot deck by Joanna Powell Colbert.

On Sunday my daughter and I went to pick up a puppy. We named her Misty.

Yesterday I pulled two cards to see what Tarot had to say about it.

Position 1 indicates the gift that Misty is bringing me.

Position 2 is the lesson that Misty is teaching me.

The gift is The Wheel, Major Arcana 10, earth.

Earth is practical, real. 10 reduces to 1 and is about endings and new beginnings.

Misty is offering me a fresh start. The opportunity to let go of the sadness and to embrace joy once again.

The Wheel is about cycles.

Some of you know that at the beginning of April my beloved dog Max passed away. I got him as a puppy. I watched him grow into a handsome, lovable, affectionate dog. As the years passed we witnessed each other’s joys, sorrows and transformation. I was with him as he passed.
He was my shadow and my loyal friend for twelve and a half years. His death left a huge void in my life.
Max and I went full circle. I protected him when he was small and vulnerable. We walked together strong and full of energy. We were there for each other when we were weak.

I took my time to mourn him, to process the experience and to recharge and build new routines.

During the Summer my daughter stalked every dog that crossed her path here and in Europe. It was clear she was ready to love again.
I was not so sure. I mean, I knew eventually I wanted another dog. I knew we could provide a good home. Rationally I understood that the pain of the loss was worth all the joy we had had, yet…I was hesitant.

Now I look at this beautiful independent puppy and my hearth opens.
Misty is a Sheltie, as Max was. Shetland Sheepdogs are smart, brave, playful and beautiful. They get along with everyone, they are lovers, not haters.
Max and Misty are different colours and he was a male and she is a female.

Misty is the Wheel in action. What goes down eventually must go up.

She is the breath of fresh air. She is the puppy in a home that had grown quiet.
She brings change. We have to be present and aware of our surroundings. We have a little one that does not know what danger looks like. She has not learned to speak our language yet. She thinks our adult cat would make a great play mate if she could just get close enough. Her curiosity and enthusiasm are contagious.

What lesson is Misty teaching me? 2 of fire (wands).

Fire is about joy, creativity, curiosity, enthusiasm, passion, daring, living fully.

2 are about choices, taking time to make a decision/ decide the next step.

In this deck a very hot, fit couple embraces while looking into each other’s eyes.
The chemistry, the attraction is clear, but their eyes are wide open. They are checking each other out. There is a strong attraction, they are clearly connecting, but they each hold wands that are on fire. It is dark around them. They each bring their own source of light.
What is Misty teaching me?
To fully engage in life again. To live life with energy , passion and curiosity. To be brave , take some risks. She is also teaching me to take one step at the time.
Misty wants to be with me because I give her food and shelter. I give her affection and joy through play. I offer her protection and boundaries. Yet, I am new to her and she is new to me. We have yet to earn each other’s trust and grow our bond. We are just learning to approach each other.
