Tarot Cardinal Compass Spread by HH
Question: What plan of action can I set to improve my life? [b]Edited to add[/b] My apologizes
.a duh! moment
I used the Hudes Tarot Deck Susan Hudes, Copyright US Games Systems Inc, 1995 ISBN 0-88079-137-3 Center-me, as I am at this moment: this card/position gives me insights on the how and why of what I am experiencing
[b]Eight of Cups[/b] Leaving the familiar to journey into the unknown
I am withdrawing from the restrictions and limitations imposed by a set of circumstances or a situation and venturing into waters not yet sailed
This card is wholly appropriate and fully descriptive of where I am…I am leaving the safe harbour of what was my second career (education) and setting sail for a third (artist)
South- where to concentrate my efforts to improve my instinctual life
[b]Four of Swords[/b] I was a bit baffled by the learning to communicate card showing up in the instinctual position, but with a some reflection realized that this card is telling me it is important to put pen/cil to paper to outline my beliefs, my understandings, my suppositions, my wants and wishes regarding my instinct, my intuition, and my seerage
After that has been accomplished I can then begin to prepare for an exchange of ideas with a peer who will demonstrate a new aspect of instinct that I had not considered, with this communication I will be able to safely sail to new understandings of my instincts
West- where to concentrate to improve my emotional life
[b] Queen of Pentacles[/b] This message is quite succinct! In order for my emotional life to improve I must be more mature and sensible about material matters
Even more succinct is the message that my physical well being is a direct reflection of my emotional state
(ouch!) North-where to concentrate my effort to improve my spiritual life
[b] Wheel of Fortune[/b] Take practical actions to gain as much understanding and knowledge about what comprises spirituality as possible (yikes, do I seer an encounter with the Hierophant?), but do not relinquish control over my own hard-won understandings and intuitive cognition
The lesson of the Wheel of Fortune in this position is to embrace personal responsibility and learn to be detached
There is an additional lesson in the WoF as well: do not initiate an action without being fully prepared to deal with the consequences
Do not raise the mainsail until the ship is fully provisioned
East-where to concentrate to improve my intellectual life
[b]Judgment[/b] Perfect! Judgement in many post-modern decks has evolved to encompass the definition of promotion, retirement, or graduation
I will use the lesson of Judgment to initiate a new way of living my day-to-day life, keeping in mind the lesson of the Wheel of Fortune, and move on with my sails set to catch the freshening winds of my post-menopausal World
It's in the cards! HH
