I thought I start something new in my Tarot lessons. Part of the lesson is to learn to connect cards together and create a whole story. Reading one card at a time is one thing. When you do multiple cards you need to see the relationships between them. So, I decided that on Saturdays, the days that I seem to not have to rush through things in the morning, I would be doing three-card readings.
Today’s cards are Three of Wands reversed, Temperance reversed and Queen of Cups. I have to look at the Queen of Cups first. The sky is the soft colored evening sky. The focus of the card is at the veiled cup of subconscious. This means the act of meditation to me. She is at peace. I am also drawn to the bottom of her robe which depicts a scene of water babies (?) and fish joyfully playing in the sea. They are in their element, which is the water. The whole card shows a feeling of joy, peace and quiet meditation. I already know that I am going to the temple this evening. I am expecting to help preparing for Thai New Year celebration tomorrow. But the card seem to indicate that I will also have some time to myself to do some inner work.
The first two cards are hard to get this morning. I am still feeling scattered energy that’s been persistent for days. Maybe that’s why the wands are so prominent lately. I seem to be drawn to the elements that represent the future in both cards, the wand in the man’s hand in Three of Wands and the crystal ball in Temperance. It’s funny that I thought the crystal ball represented the present until I re-read Robin Wood’s description of the card. What can this mean? I am also drawn to the sun and the mountains on the Temperance. They usually represent enlightenment, higher mind.
Am I not looking forward to visiting the temple at the moment? Am I off-balance today? I am really feeling scattered right now. I don’t seem to have clarity. Maybe tonight I will finally get some focus.
Observation, 2:43 pm, this is interesting. I didn’t see the balance earlier. The disorderly fire energy of the wands is countered by the calm and soothing water energy of the cups, with Temperance in the middle. Even though the Temperance is in its negative aspect, showing the excess of energy, it is still reminding me to dip my foot in the water, to cool off a little.
I have avoided few little things that I wanted to do today. But I am packed to go to the temple.
