Transparent Oracle Sunday!

44, Moon (Above). The direction of Above takes us up and out of the four traditional elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth, and reminds us that we are but a small part of the Cosmos.  Above also reminds us that while the Machinery of the Universe is huge, it does have an effect on each of us, and each of us is an important part of the workings of that Machinery.  The Moon is a card of cycles and tides, and of mystery, the subconscious, and fantasy.  All are useful tools and effects, except when taken to extremes.  The Moon also represents the Sacred Feminine, and inner, passive and receptive energies. 

16, Guide: Snake (South). South is the direction of the midday sun and the peak of power and illumination; this direction is associated with passionate drive and creativity.  Snake has powerful symbolism in our world; it is seen to represent many medical/healing modalities, and the Kundalini energy.  Snake corresponds with the dragon, and is seen as a mundane representation of that mythical beast.  Because Snake can shed its skin and appear renewed, it is associated with healing, fertility, regeneration and rebirth.  Snake can access places that would be out of reach for most of us, and so Snake can share both knowledge and wisdom.  However, the knowledge and wisdom owned and shared by Snake is neutral, and we need to be careful what we choose to do with what we learn.  Eve learned that lesson in the Garden of Eden.

49, Saturn (Above). The direction of Above takes us up and out of the four traditional elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth, and reminds us that we are but a small part of the Cosmos.  Above also reminds us that while the Machinery of the Universe is huge, it does have an effect on each of us, and each of us is an important part of the workings of that Machinery.  The planet Saturn is about structure and boundaries, and about constricting energies within a particular format, often involving time. 

Interesting mandala once again.  Mystery, the ability to access places that most would seem out of reach, and the benefits of structure and boundaries, and a long-term plan.  The Snakes are fused with the crescent phases of the Moon, while Saturn is corralling everything.  Somehow my instincts say that the Snakes are the important part of this mandala, and I am being told that both the concept of a dragon, and the concepts of renewal, regeneration, and unusual access abilities, are of importance to me now.  Perhaps I am being told to watch for unusual events or opportunities.  Now, I need to figure out if Saturn is an obstacle or a support.  Only time will tell. 

I was in a fog yesterday as I did not get much sleep Saturday night.  Thus, this post did not go up until this morning.  Can’t make sense of a spread when the brain is asleep!
