Therefore, Thursday.

Meet Me Halfway....

Thursday is an awesome day. It is the middle point of the aeven say splendor we call our week. I like to read cards on Monday and Wednesday. Therfore, Thursdqy will be my tarot synopsis. Expect it weekly,ok? Its a date!

So far this week I have taken some time learning new things. I made Swedish meatballs. I never knew that you could put the same spices one would put in pumpkin pie, in meatballs, and they turn out so well. I am furthering my investigation yuh on sacred geometry, it ascribes symbolic or sacred meanings to certain geometric shapes and certain geometric proportions.The geometry used in the design and construction of religious monuments such as churches, temples, mosques, altars, and tabernacles is sometimes considered sacred. Coolness. It is also very handy when building a crystal grid (Another day, I promise!)

I’ve tuned into the more intuitive side of my life, organizing and cleaning has dominated some of the better parts of my day. I feel it is the only time compartmentalizing would be 100 percent acceptable. You could say I’m a bit of a manic. I like all my things, the way I like my things. There’s a Radiohead song “ everything in its right place”... that song defines my happy place.

Speaking of happy places let’s talk about the cards. The reading I got most from this week, was my Wednesday reading. However the equinox was on Tuesday. Which changed up my plans just a little bit. The equinox is the day that the moon is up as many hours as the sun is up. So I read on Tuesday, before I went to get ingredients that I didn’t have to make pumpkin pie. I read a charity spread when I am setting intentions for the week, evaluating goals, or looking for outcome suggestions and/or guidance in a particular situation. The clarity spread includes four cards. The first card is the overall circumstance of the situation and or question at mind, during the time the card is dealt. I am reading from one of my favorite decks, it’s named “The

Wild Unknown Tarot” by Kim Krans. I truly adore this deck, the artwork is absolutely gorgeous, whether it’s black or white or if it has dashes of color. The images convey so closely, to the thoughts perceived. That matched with the fact that the name of the deck speaks to my soul, makes it an easy choice.

I pulled the judgment card. As seen from the picture the card, There is a beautiful white bird reaching into the light followed by other dark birds. In tefrence to what most people would think judgment would mean, the tarot asks you to question quite the opposite. The judgment card requires you to do just that, be wise, fair and compassionate. Allowing forgiveness is actually extremely difficult, and the comparison of punishing or diminishing someone for their mistakes. Punitive results can sometimes actualize a situation. I happen to believe that love and compassion can allow forgiveness to separate us from the animals. Maybe this coming week try to look at the perspective with kinder eyes, not only for The people around you, but for yourself. The times are turbulent around us, in the city I live there are protests, shootings and horrible things that happen every single day. I take respite in the fact that I have the capability to forgive, unlike so many others out there in the world.

The remaining three carts are the detail cards so to speak. These cards somewhat define the circumstances and situations that are at hand. Just as the first car depends on intuition that is applied to the cards as they are dealt, it is as important in this instance. First I will name the card and then I will give a brief description of how I relate it to the current perspective question(s).

The five of cups is a card with a picture of a horse who looks sad and tired, with 5 cups residing above his head , I wonder if that in fact is his plight. This card can symbolize a great loss or amount of grief in one’s life. Disappointment is a really difficult thing, Present times are extremely disappointing. We wake up every day, to not be able to do the things we’ve been able to do our whole lives. We are made to wear masks, and protect ourselves from known and unknown things in our environments, surrounding our children, and food we eat and in groups that we have grown to be so comfortable. It’s all been taken from us, we’ve been subjected to compromise and disappointment. I don’t think I’ve left my house really for longer than a couple hours in like eight months. There’s something to that cliché, stir crazy, it makes me laugh now. I see this card is helping initiate the realization that expectations are things that need to change with the times. All is not the same,and All is not lost. Life May never be “normal” again. That is scary, as hell, but the sooner it’s adapted, the better off it will be.

The second card that I pulled is the 10 of pentacles. This card is an awesome card in any thread. It symbolizes abundance in some type of fulfilling means. This could be spiritual, financial, or associated with abundance of family. The number 10 usually symbolizes completion of a project or an idea. This card however comes with some responsibility. When the time comes and there is great abundance in life, always remember that the more generous one can be in a situation the more that energy will be repaid in the future. Many people around me right now are in shock, and dismay. I walk with 16 years almost in recovery. I forget this occasionally. I tune into this card especially, because I feel that we all could probably be the light in the dark for someone. Which falls into the last card that I pulled in the spread. That card is the ace of swords. In the picture you can see a sword with an infinity snake wrapped around it and a bolt of lightning shining through the darkness.The phrase I think goes, if I could catch lightning in a bottle. I’m not sure if that’s exact so I’m not gonna quote it, but having the ability to have insight ties in with the very first card which was judgment, and symbolizes forgiveness regardless of what truths are told, this last card ties it all together very well. Clarity, is the envy of many a person. In vain we strive every day to be as clearheaded and on the ball as possible. To always be ahead of the curve, never fall when running. We are brazen to believe that we will be perfect and stable without fracture. It is a fracture that makes us stronger. I see the time has come to the crescent moon which asks us to be creative, start new projects or land on those decisions that one has been questioning about in recent times. Just the day I stopped to question myself about what I really need to be doing. I have begun to envelop myself in my home life, which is where I need to be right now, in these times of despair. I am able to have the insight, and clarity and I only wish the same for you.

Until next week I’m going to leave you with a quote by His Holiness, “People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.”

~ Dalai Lama
