Tarot practice thread vol.2

[moonincancer]

Dear Angelic
Ace swords. Clarity and control will help accomplish any financial goals. Overcome negative thoughts for focus and determination will take you far. Think and plan logically before taking any decisions.
Another card that's come up twice for you is the advice to be your authentic self. You can't please everyone and be what they want you to be or do for them. Be true to yourself and you will forge ahead.

In all you do Spirit's guidance will serve you well. Acknowledge its importance in your path.

Hope this helps.

Reading for Tealily
Using cards from the green witch tarot (7 of Athames) and Angels and Ancestors deck, I am getting that despite the perceived dangers you are actually equipped to tackle this situation quite well with strategy and self-reliance. Any anxiety you may have about the finances (9 of athames) needs to be controlled. Things are not as bad as they seem. Self doubt and foreboding need to be tackled head on. This might be due to family conditioning or an ancestral pattern (Elder -Angels and ancestors) , working around which might be healing for your whole family (tree). If unsure of what to do stay right where you are, talk to those around you, root yourself ( Mountains- Angel and ancestor)and know that this situation will resolve with more expansion coming your way in the future. At the end of the year you might crave change , probably of your job but perhaps because of emotional reasons/discontent ( four of chalices).

For advice for the immediate future I picked two cards from the wisdom of the oracle deck: Chop wood and time for a nap. I think the cards are suggesting you take some time off this stress and come back to review your strategy with a fresh perspective , perhaps after meditation or doing what relaxes you. This could be a good time for routine work, small steps, making yourself comfortable in your house by making minor changes and making it nore condusive to rest. Hope this helps.

Much belated, sorry - life got in the way for a long while! But how serendipidous that yours is the next reading to be done anyway.

Things did actually turn out ok - if just - although I did (and am?) extremely close to the end of my "accessible" money pocket and am playing the game of trying not to eat into my actual emergency savings.

The expansion most definitely came my way - new work - and I am looking forward to my newest paycheck coming in approx a week's time.

re: change - I AM ALREADY CRAVING CHANGE haha.

Question for Moon: What serves me best right now?

What's coming through here is a sense that no matter what drama, kerfuffle or 'life mess' around you, what's great is that you seem to have a strong sense of what's truly important - the things that really matter, like your values and goals - and hanging onto this firmly is keeping you grounded and keeping life meaningful as it's this focus that keeps your perspective positive and value-based rather than getting lost amongst the proverbial noise (Queen of Pent rev).

This perspective may also be helping you stay goal-focussed and aware of your positive achievements (The World); this is fantastic if you're able to maintain a "this is where I've done really well and succeeded" approach rather than focusing on what's negative and yet to be resolved like so many others of us do :)

For general advice and looking ahead, it's all about being content to sit with the journey, knowing that it's going to take time to get where you want so no need to rush or be frustrated/impatient with what is beyond your control (4 of Swords, Temperance).

Life is arguably better than last time I poked my head into the SF forum - but it's still challenging and I'm not "settled" as yet, and I can get a bit impatient/irritable because of this (In four months I have moved house 3 times, left 2 jobs, and started at 3 jobs. I'm DONE, and it's only July...)

Someone told me I'm doing really well because I'm learning to "float" and roll with the punches, but I am honestly done with floating I am hankering to put down roots - VERY DEEP ROOTS THAT NOBODY MOVES AND WILL BE THERE FOR YEARS - and since that's not happening I'm finding myself falling into frequent rage spots where I just get really frustrated with everything

Q: What am I meant to learn from all the change and uncertainty that's happened over the past 4 months?

It looks like you and someone you are involved with (your partner?) have been overprotective about something. This was all for a bigger plan the universe has for you. It looks like you have different facets to you and this time was meant for you to focus on one thing. You will reap rewards from your hardwork. It also looks like you will be helping someone who is stuck in their situation.

Feedback for Tracey
No partner unfortunately - but agree about overprotectiveness. I'm wondering if it's me that was 'stuck' - otherwise it may refer to a friend I'm supporting who is in a similar situation :) Life has been scary but to be fair, I'm doing a lot of things I wouldn't have been able to do this time last year.

* Fountain tarot

Wheel of Fortune
What's behind: 3 of Swords
What's ahead: 10 of Cups reversed

This is basically the tarot equivalent of "change it up, try the new scary thing". There seems to have been something which disappointed you - not enough to break you, just enough to make you feel bummed out. Looking ahead it seems like trying the new thing may involve doing things with less team or social support than you're used to - this may be the part that makes you feel bummed out, but what you need to know is that you're absolutely capable of doing the task by yourself :)

Hey tealily, thanks for the reading. There isnt much bumming me out these days but I'll try to try the new thing in my life.

How far you have come. Dreaming of travel, and looking forwards can wait for the day but now is the time for looking backwards and being perhaps a little bit smug. There may be a tendency to buy into fear, anxiety, and indeed nothing lasts for ever and this phase of good fortune will indeed pass. And i don't mean that in a negative way as it could give rise to a greater good fortune? But you are riding on the crest of a wave and that feels precarious.

The Hanged Man Yes this supports that - there will be the state of crossroads, indecision, but also the union with the divine. And in order to really ride the crest of the wave you are on, you need to consider what you might want to give up, what you might want to surrender, what you don't need and this indeed will make space for something greater ...


Hpe this helps

Sorry for the delay in responding, but yep, I enjoyed it while it lasted cos things certainly took a turn in the other direction.
Travel was kinda forced upon me and resisting made it all the more stressful, so maybe I should have taken Hanged Man's advice.
Thank you for the reading and patiently awaiting feedback.

Anna K tarot.

Important influence - Queen of Rods.
Who is cheerleading you? There is someone around you who is helping you to realise 'you got this'. Take a leaf from their book and understand blind optimism is OK but optimism with action will go a lot further. Whoever this person is, they really are supporting you and they are willing to help when you hit a stumbling block.

Present situation - Hermit.
You seem to be spending time looking deeply at where you want your life to go, others opinions and 'advice' are uninvited as you realise this is only something you can answer. It may feel that there is a certain amount of 'distance' between you and those around you, that you just don't connect with their mindset or life view and that's OK, you're figuring things out for yourself.

Challenge - Justice.
Again, there is a temptation to do what is expected, but would you be acting fairly to yourself. There is no right or wrong in what you are doing, just facts, and that is what you need to work with. Don't allow someone else's ideals decide what you should be doing and how you should be doing it. (Side note....I always stop and ask myself, what would Jean Valjean do? )

Advice - 5 of Cups.
Don't despair....when you start having doubts or worries remember what you have, not what you haven't (time for a cliché, it's not about having what you want, it's about wanting what you have). Look for the positives in your life (I don't condone spiritual bypassing) but when life is feeling rough look at what you have that you can feel good about.

Outcome - Ace of Wands.
It's all going to work out, if you work at it. You may find a new direction that needs some positive action to put into place (gently does it though, baby steps to start with). Put the trust in yourself though not the idea.

Overall it seems you're doing okay. There are challenges around you but also support that is invaluable right now. You are still trying to figure things out for yourself...keep working on it and you'll find the answers. Just keep doing what you're doing and it'll all come good.

That's my close friend D - we're tag-teaming a lot at the moment to help each other get stuff done <3 I'm usually the action-oriented one but we definitely both have low moments and balance each other's peaks/troughs well.

Ah yes, this, particularly with respect to career, property, finances, all the big things.

This! I've recently made a point of returning to daily gratitudes and 4-week reflectives to note progress from 4 weeks ago :) Otherwise I can be a sucker for focusing on what hasn't been achieved yet.

Ugh I read this and instantly think of my love life. Which is going nowhere, but 100% my fault because I am literally putting no effort in.

Overall it seems you're doing okay. There are challenges around you but also support that is invaluable right now. You are still trying to figure things out for yourself...keep working on it and you'll find the answers. Just keep doing what you're doing and it'll all come good.

So happy to have a reading from you! It's been a while <3

Reading for 55Degrees
Q: What is the best way to move my creative project forward?

This is going to sound absolutely nutty, but you're not doing a crafty thing are you? Nothing involving thread? This could be way off but here we go -

Strength rev gives me the impression of you looking at your project from all angles. It's like a Playstation game with a tricky dungeon - no easy routes forward, and everything looks like it's going to be challenging with no clear answers.

6 of Cups popped up in your reading and I got the impression of thread- like one of those "skein of thread" embroidery/tapestry type things, with the issue being that you may have to source or borrow more material... and this obviously being the main problem because it means you have to go outside or talk to someone (both horrible, obviously! haha). The advice, clearly, is 10 of Pentacles - go to the market to get what you need! :)

Let me know if on-track or off?

Q: Am I likely to still be living in this apartment in a year's time with my current housemate (who we'll call AD)?

[Belle]

Reading for tealily

Ok! So I have on my shelf the Druid Tarot deck which has been in its cellophane for over a year - and now is the time for it to come out for this reading.

Question for Tealily
Q: Am I likely to still be living in this apartment in a year's time with my current housemate (who we'll call AD)?

Three of cups
The card shows three men, one in red (hooded), one in green and one in blue toasting and feasting. They are celebrating. And with the Druid deck the number 3 represents the product of the union of 2 principles. This is completion - creation, fulfilment, expression, growth and development.

The card is here: https://www.bing.com/images/search?v...x=1&ajaxhist=0


A nice card indeed from your question and the 3 Cups represents something even richer, celebration. What you are celebrating - whether it is marriage or a child or a new job - I can't see but in the context of this reading, I sense that there is a completion in relation to your living and sharing with AD. And the number 3 in this card points towards the joy of friendship. Now I am not sensing friendship with AD but what I am sensing is a deeper connection, something karmic that is going to complete that will set you both free to move forwards.

And that is the celebration, the celebration of the higher selves and a work done and a moving forwards stronger, freer, brighter and a celebration of a job well done.

I feel your living arrangements will change dramatically along the way and drew a supporting card of The Tower - so things will shake up and be shaken up and you will be shaken up. And with the ties between you - you and AD will be shaking each other up. Awkward. But the Tower is a great card of being shaken up ahead of something better. It may well be that you move away or that AD moves away and it all feels that it will be pretty uncomfortable but keep in mind the 3 Cups and the Celebration that you are in the middle of with AD.

I hope that helps.

Question for Belle: What do I need to know with regards to my work

Feedback for tealily

Alas, no thread involved (poor fine motor skills and persistent migraines don't allow for such detailed work) however it does involve writing (and my handwriting is soooo bad) which could point to the threadlike feeling.
Having to borrow resources.....hmm referencing previous works on the subject is, in some way, borrowing resources so a pretty good pick up on the overall reading (especially as it was quite a general question)
Thank you for your time and energy and It's nice to be back :)
