Today’s cards:
- Fading Energy: Three of Swords
- Current Energy: The Fool
- Growing Energy:
I’ve been asked before why it is that different readers readers give different readings for the same card.
There are a variety of reasons, and any one or any combination of them could factor into it when you get very different readings about the same identical card.
First is the passage of time. As ancient Greek philosopher Hericlitus put it, a man can’t cross the same river twice because it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.
Time passes and your situation changes just like water flows through a river so it is different water each time you step in.
Past readings have an effect on you. Time passes and you grow and change. You are a different person than you were the last time that card was read for you.
Different time, different water, different person: you can’t cross the same Tarot card twice. If you do it is pretty astounding and you should definitely pay attention to what intuition / spirit is trying to tell you.
Three days ago we talked about the Page of Cups and last week’s end-of-week vibe. Things have shifted again already.
Sometimes the river current is faster than others.
Apparently it is flowing fairly quickly here. I expect this week will step through the three cards fairly quickly, too. It will be interesting to see if that proves true by the time we get to Friday’s “weekend update” post.
Because of that pace, I think the “fading energy” layout position of the three of swords is significant, to the point of giving a “don’t” or “kick this energy to the curb” sort of message.
The three of sword’s nature is cautioning anyway. Heads up, watch your back – don’t. I ‘hear’ “tiny heartbreak” When I put this card & energy into the context of the whole reading, I get “don’t make little disappointments into big heartbreaks.”
The Fool card is, of course, about beginnings.
In most RWS based Tarot decks, a human figure is shown posed between two poles, the two wands. This draws my attention to the “threshold” key word associated with the card. It looks like a doorway. This card hints at magickal, liminal space, a gateway to something important or a portal where we can draw in what is wanted and needed. Whatever your thoughts about attraction and manifestation, this card can be read as something new on the horizon.
The “new beginning” big major arcana energy from the Fool card combined with the liminal, doorway, portal, energy from the Two of Wands weights the whole layout on the side of forward thinking hopefullness.
Bring it all together and we get a week that starts off a little off kilter, on edge, on the lookout for who-knows-what kind of funky mojo, but rapidly moves to something new and more hopeful.
Today feels a little weird, but at the same time it feels like something brighter is on the horizon.
Hang in there.
