Transparent Oracle Sunday! So the interesting thing is that
despite a good shuffle, I threw the same cards as last Sunday. Sooooo, I guess that message still
applies. I shuffled and threw
three more cards,
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.
1, Gateway: Spring (East). East
is the direction of the rising sun, and thus of new beginnings and fresh ideas,
as well as knowledge, intellectual ideas and thoughts. The Gateway of Spring
brings us fresh new beginnings and the first blossoming of creativity. There is an innocence about the
energies of this Gateway, and an optimism, and perhaps these lovely energies
will bring new insights, as well as new creativity.
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.
I then stacked
my cards and created my mandala. What
a beautiful image! Snakes are
emanating from the Gateway of Spring, and everything is being kept under control
by Saturn. I actually like this
because while the mandala is brimming with outward-moving energy, that energy
is being shaped and formed.
Newness, regeneration and healing are all a part of the energies around
me and within me, but so is the understanding that I always have an effect on
my world, so I should choose the way I manifest each moment, with care.
My cards last week
reminded me to control my emotions and feelings. This week, I am being warned of the dangers of allowing
lethargy to take hold. Can’t wait
to see what happens next week!
