Tarot by bluemoonHi Karen! May I have another go with your cards? Once again, the deck used is the Mythic Tarot * 1 Current situation = the magician You are exploring new skills and potential Opportunities and adventures are opening up for you This is the start of a new journey so you are now involved in choosing your route or path in life (the 'direction' of your question) Similarly, you are evaluating your tools, your skills and your talents in order to see what is required You are taking conscious action with the intention of improving yourself Your inner guide is prompting you in a new phase of personal development 2 Advice = the devil Are you unclear about something? Are you obsessed with something? Are you doubting yourself? You must confront those inner dæmons, you must face your fears and inhibitions in order to grow Sharman-Burke agrees that the devil represents the shadow side of your personality To face your shadow, you have delve into your unconscious, you have to take responsibility for what you dislike about yourself and you have to accept your own deep feelings and desires Something is controlling you, ruling you, holding you back and now it must be confronted To make any progress, you have to break those ties that bind Things must be examined carefully, though You must make sure you have all the facts at your disposal about yourself, your situation and your motives 3 Outcome = the moon The same:- card in the same:- position as the previous spread The Tarot [b]really is[/b] trying to tell you something! I pretty much stand by what I said earlier Additionally, coming after the devil, I read the moon as welcome illumination, as a new phase of personal development, a new cycle beginning What did Alison Day say in the online course notes? "The moon will illuminate your way and even if the path you are on is tough, all will turn out right in the end " For my money, those inner dæmons will:- be exorcised; you will:- be inspired to begin a new phase in your life Looking at the cards as a whole, both the devil and the moon (and even the magician, to an extent) have to do with the unconscious realm and its exploration This suggests to me something you probably already know: the direction of your life at the moment is one of self-(re)discovery or, indeed, one of (re)discovery of your inner self You are on a path consciously developing new skills that will ultimately lead to your finding out fully who you are Bon voyage, my forum friend! Does any of this make any sense to you? Can you relate these meanings to your situation at all or am I just way off the mark here? *The Mythic Tarot J Sharman-Burke and L Greene Cards illustrated by T Newell Workbook published by Rider/Eddison-Sadd, 2001 edition ISBN 0 7126 1473 7
