(Early) Tarot Tuesday!





We can go ahead and start calibrating the card-o-scope and check what the Astral Light is up to today, this week or the coming months. So if you have a question, bring it on.



I've been studying and practicing the Tarot for about 2 years now and having cast a few spreads for friends who found it helpful I thought I might make a deal with anyone that happens to read this.

Here is the deal, I will repost this on the last Tuesday of every month and will try to answer your query before the end of the month. Post a comment below requesting for a reading within the week of posting, depending on the number of comments and the situation I can either offer a lengthy reading or a three card reading. What I request back from you is some feedback about your situation and in case of some outcome what I got right and what I got wrong.

So, if you have a situation where you want to know what the Astral Light is up to, be it personal, general or on a broader scale, or want to know what the week or month ahead has in store for you, why then, you know what to do. I would encourage you to post it publicly below, as for others to get an idea of what I have to offer, to encourage discussion and what divination is about in general but if your situation is delicate post a comment marked NOT FOR POSTING explaining your situation and I'll consider it on a case by case basis.

That said, divination is like weather forecasting not a tablet of truth handed down from above, so take the advice I give you through the cards as such. Any unfortunate situation you get yourself into is entirely the responsibility of the querent!

Is where I am currently living conducive to my well being or detrimental?

I'm new to here so please forgive my question. Have I somehow missed a communication from you? Hope all is well with you :-)

Hi open_space
Thanks for this reading. More clarity here than I could hope for. All in all the cards, and your interpretation, were quite clear and relevant and give me much food for thought. I've given a little more background with some comments below. Any further thoughts you might have I'd be pleased to receive.
Thanks, Jeff


All cards reversed; (my first thought when I saw the spread was “Why did he print this upside down”)
That's about as clear as can be and I guess I did need to hear that how I feel is really how it is; seems like I'm in another one of those “learning and growing” situations.

Situation;
indecisive/oppressed? Yes indeed. I'm 70 years old, have COPD/emphysema, in a house inherited from my wifes' father (we turned this place down 50 years ago as it's right on a busy freeway and very noisy). My wife (Teresa) died last year (from cancer) after spending 2 or 3 years working hard to fence the property and plant fruit trees and grapes for food. There was a two year court battle over property boundaries that took an emotional toll. Her dad and mom both died here also. Lots of mixed vibes. In my condition just showering or doing laundry is difficult so even thinking about selling and moving is overwhelming and I feel no pull to anyplace in particular. I've found in the past that changing places just postpones learning what I need to learn where I am. I can hire help for the outside work.

Internal influences not aware of;
I do tend to put off decisions with much deliberation; trying to weigh what I think I want with what I feel the time requires. I don't like to make snap decisions. I'm alone for the first time in 50 years and I got used to much discussion with my wife about what to do and when, along with reading the I Ching for guidance. Being on my own is new.

External influences am aware of;
“Something fundamental about the things that you used to like about were you live have been lost for you. I can't tell exactly what it is, perhaps you could tell me and see what else comes up. But the general vibe I get is of being gloomy, of a Queen of Nature that has lost its connection to the Earth. You are perhaps feeling lost or alone at the place you used to call home and this might have made you to stop acting of feeling nurtured by the place but rather bitter now, making you to withdraw yourself. Disconnect is the main theme here, disconnect of something essential.”
Yep! Boy was this spot on. I lost my Queen of Nature (Teresa) and her energy is sorely missed. My ties to here are so much less personal and forging my own relationship with this place is challenging to say the least.

What is needed for resolution;
Prioritize what I can do make this place my own and start doing it. Clear out stuff inside and out; 60 years of accumulation can be dispursed slowly but surely. This applies to myself as well as externals.

Outcome or understanding;
Oh my, nothing lightweight or easy here. Definitely have some issues with will and procrastination that make things more difficult than they have to be. Just getting started is half the battle with me, and having a plan with steps to follow helps. This will take more time and thought to investigate.

Thanks open_space,

Thank you for that. Teresa was able to move on at home peacefully with loving family with her; her 5 year old niece sweetly cared for us all.

"..during my interpretation I got a feeling that I shouldn't be too hard on it --the Tarot can be quite blunt"

I appreciate the bluntness of your interpretation; it was what was needed. Many aspects of my situation were clarified. Inactivity is rather forced upon me by physical limitations and at the same time small steps will add up. Loving acceptance has replaced forced angst and I give thanks for that.

I am indeed in WA, Kelso/Longview area. Your very kind offer to help "move stuff around" touched me deeply. I'd feel uncomfortable with that as I'd be of so little help! LOL

That said, if you're ever down this way and wanted to come by and see this crazy place it would be wonderful and pizza and beer, or whatever, is on me.

May Peace and Harmony be yours,
Jeff
