The
Horned One/The High Priestess.
Wwwhhhoooaaahh! Cool cards.
The Horned One/The Devil (Earth (cold/binds and dry/shapes, and stable,
material, practical energies that are slow to change), Capricorn (“I build,”
ambitious, competent, cautious, cunning), Ayin (the eye, senses), and the Path
between Hod (which provides analysis and communication) and Tipareth (the hub
of the creation process where energies harmonize and focus to illuminate and
clarify) tells of being caught up in the physical world and the effects of the
physical senses, to the point of being bound or addicted to those things. The
Llewellyn Welsh Tarot does not see the Devil as a more negative card (hence the
name, “The Horned One”). Today the
call of the wild and primal world of Nature may be a huge draw for me. The High Priestess
(Water; the Moon, feelings and emotions, illusion, imagination; Gimel, the camel who safely crosses Da’ath, the Abyss, and
thus, has the secret of life; and the Path between Tiphareth, the hub of the
creation process where energies harmonize and focus to illuminate and clarify,
and Kether, the source, limitless possibility), is one-half of the Major Arcana
representation of the Sacred Feminine, with The Empress being the other half.
The High Priestess is the source of the power of The Magician, the feminine
version of The Hierophant, and the Keeper of the Mysteries. She reminds me to listen to my
intuition, to be open and receptive to all messages, and to be aware of
everything. Having her alongside
my Horned One tells me that there might be some potent information or messages
found within the natural world today, so I need to pay attention and remain
balanced. These two are powerful,
and they are a lot to live up to!!
My
Thoth card is the Four of Cups reversed.
“Luxury” is the keyword for the upright Four of Cups (the Moon, feelings and emotions, illusion,
imagination, in Cancer, “I feel,” sensitive, nurturing, tenacious, moody),
which tells us that too much pleasure, or maybe too much nurturing or
overprotectiveness, deadens the senses.
Because my card is reversed, I most likely won’t get lost in dreams of
what could be; a good thing today, with the two cards above and the energies
they bring.
My
Legacy card is Judgement reversed, flavored by The Star. Okay, then! Judgement corresponds with Fire
(hot/separates and dry/shapes, and spontaneous, impulsive and energetic change), Pluto (power,
metamorphosis, cycles of dying and becoming), Shin (fang), and the Path between
Malkuth (the physical world of action and physical, outer reality) and Hod
(provides analysis and communication) and in an upright position represents an
opportunity to tally up and pay the bill so we can have a fresh start. My Judgement is reversed today, and
that could mean that my efforts to tie up loose ends and pay what I owe have
been successful! My reversed
Judgement card is being flavored by another Major Arcana card that seems to
validate this interpretation. The Star (Air, hot/separates and wet/adapts;
Aquarius, “I know,” friendships,
cause-oriented, the group, aloofness; Qof, back of
head; the Path between Malkuth, the physical world of action and outer,
physical reality, and Netzach, the stimulating factors of emotion and
inspiration) is the “good will to all” card, and while it can hint at some unexpected
darkness, it also tells me to be of strong heart, for things will turn out okay
in the end. Since The Star is
flavoring my reversed Judgement card, I am being told this exact thing. All is well!
My
6-digit date number is 10, the end of a cycle, which reduces further to 1, the
number of position and possibility.
My New
Moon Pearls of Wisdom card is the Six of Pentacles reversed. The Six of Pentacles (Moon, feelings and emotions,
illusion, imagination, in Taurus, “I have,” Sensual, cautious, stubborn) brings
an awareness of resources to the situation, both those that I have and those
that I don’t have, in both the upright and reversed position. The Pearls of
Wisdom Six of Pentacles tells of generosity, blessings, and joyous
deliverance. It tells of the
coming resolution of a difficulty, or the approach of some breakthrough. Since my card is reversed, that
resolution might be difficult to find, but it is out there, waiting for me.
My
horoscopes: “Put
your reservations aside, Sagittarius, and go for the thing your heart desires
most. Throw caution to the wind and make it happen. Today's energy urges you to
take charge of your life and conquer new territory. There's dynamism about the
day that could leave you behind unless you latch onto the trend and make it
work for you”
And: “Do not turn down any opportunities
today, even if they seem like dead-end roads at first. This one could be your
lucky break. Realize that success doesn't always have a big neon sign pointing
you in the right direction. Prosperity simply comes because we act freely and
instinctively. This is one of those days in which an unmarked door can lead you
to the yellow brick road of happiness and well-being.”
My
Shadowscapes Insight is regarding the Six of Cups. Perfect!!
Simple joys and innocent companionship. In the end, joy and love and acceptance, no matter what
brought us to this moment, will attract to us what we want the most.
I’ve
prepared my final draft of a Yoga class centering, and should be doing it
before a live class over the next week or so. My teacher has also just announced that during August, we
YTT trainees will be teaching actual classes. Yay!! Also, I
have been given the opportunity to work one-on-one with a current student at Stone
Yoga, and I am thrilled. I feel
the training is working, and I am confident that I can do this.
Time to
catch up on some emails. Progress!
