I am doing a daily Tarot draw asking the Spirit, what message do you have for the world for us to manifest our highest good?

Message to the World
January 5th, 2020

THE MOON

The Moon is the Major Arcana card of intuition, of hidden elements, of deception or self-deception, even.
The pool of water in the foreground represents our subconscious. A path leads into the distance. On either side of it, a wolf and a dog face each other. They represent the tamed versus the wild and instinctual aspects of ourselves. The path also runs between two towers. Some sources say that the towers represent good and evil. They look identical, however, and this symbolizes how difficult it is, sometimes to tell the difference between right and wrong.
A crawfish crawls from the pool, telling us that hidden information needs to be revealed.

This card might be telling us not to believe everything that we see and hear. When observing events that unfold around us, both globally and locally, we need to listen with our hearts and to focus the gaze of our intuition. This warns us not to trust our ears and eyes and hearsay alone.

On a personal level, this card might be warning us that we have currents in our subconscious that are influencing – exaggerating, pulling our perceptions off-kilter today, and to take a moment to calm ourselves and center before acting or speaking rashly.

Ace of Pentacles Reversed

Message to the World
January 4th, 2020

ACE OF PENTACLES REVERSED

Pentacles are the suit of earth. In the reversed position, I see the single pentacle on the card representing our planet. The right hand of the spirit does not offer it out to us. Instead, the hand cups the globe in a protective, tender manner. The flourishing, green garden, path, and hedge reside at the top of the card, in our minds, not in reality.

Today, as wildfires rage in Australia, as extreme weather incidents increase, as cities around the world flood, it is no wonder that the message is to take better care of our earth, or the fruitful gardens will become no more than memories.

The nitty-gritty: what difference can an individual make to heal our planet?
Here is a list from nrdc.org:
https://www.nrdc.org/stories/how-you-can-stop-global-warming.
It has tips that are as simple as using more efficient lightbulbs, eating the food that you buy (don’t throw it away), and wasting less water. We do have the ability to make a difference.

Two of Cups Reversed

Message to the World
January 3rd, 2020

TWO OF CUPS REVERSED

The Two of Cups can represent partnerships, unions, and choices. All three sourcing from a place of love, authenticity, and acceptance. There is a contrast between the two figures who are connecting with each other. This is a partnership between fire and spirit.

In the reversed position, this card is asking us to look inside ourselves and work today on melding our actions, our passions, our drive, with our higher calling. Create a loving partnership, a synergy between our personal energy and focus, and our spirituality.

As within, without. By energetically moving without friction, with a unified focus, towards our Higher calling, we assist the world in re-aligning towards a more spiritual rotation.

Nitty Gritty: How? The New Year is a great time to reflect, and we have a weekend ahead of us. Find a pocket in the day, or over the weekend, without distraction, and find a place where you can really think about what lights you up. Write it down, and then jot down several ways that you can incorporate more of it into your daily or weekly routines. Give yourself permission to invest your time and energy into those pursuits that nourish your soul. That’s a great start.

Four of Swords

Message to the World
January 2nd, 2020

THE FOUR OF SWORDS

Today, tend the Third Chakra.

The Third Chakra, located at our Solar Plexus, is represented by the color yellow. It is the primary source of personal power, the’ self-power chakra”. This chakra transforms energy from our surroundings and converts it into the energy that we use to fuel our self-confidence, self-discipline, and the ability to manifest goals.

The Suit of Swords is the suit of air, representing communication, spirit, intellect, and prejudice. The Four of Swords depicts a figure lying on a sarcophagus. This physical dormancy symbolizes the shutting off of all physical distractions and needs so that they can focus entirely on spirit and communication. When your body is dead, your spirit soars. The hands of the figure rest over their Third Chakra, the solar plexus chakra. Three, completely stationary swords hang suspended above them. With completely still thoughts and dormant body, they submerge themselves into deep meditation, turning undivided attention towards fueling their inner power.

The window above them shows a child, kneeling in front of a mother figure, receiving love and acceptance.

Our message today is to take the time to look beyond our physical hunger, passions, energy, and wants. Quiet all outward sensory input, close our eyes, and reflect on what we believe about the world around us, and ourselves, and, most importantly, what our soul’s calling is. Define our goals today, and channel energy from the very air around us to reinforce the underlying structure of those goals. Receive energetic fuel into our Third Chakra to bolster our self-confidence and our self-discipline.

If, when looking inside ourselves, we find our inner child to be scared and malnourished, pour some of this energy into that child as well.

When we look with clarity and without distraction upon the path to our Highest good, when we recognize our soul’s journey, the energy to fuel our quest becomes abundant. It pours into us and buoys us. All we need to do is become receptive.

Five of Swords

Message to the World
January 1st, 2020
THE FIVE OF SWORDS

Swords are the suit of air, representing communication, intellect, action, and prejudice.

He gloats, gathering his winnings, but at what cost? His companions turn away from him, devastated.
His victory won him the argument but cost him companionship. He didn’t care that he damaged his relationships and the self-esteem of his allies. He proved he was right and forced them to acknowledge his victory.

This message is a warning, I think, that our global relationships are being eroded by individualism, pride, and the need to win, or be perceived as the winner, at all costs. The Suit of Swords represents communication, so these are most likely verbal wars, slander, insults, sharp and wounding words. The victor has the final say but loses friends and colleagues. He is so invested in his ego; he tears down the world around himself to inflate it.

To bring it down to the nitty-gritty, to what we, as individuals, can do:

Be mindful, today, of what you say. Work on building up the strength and self-esteem of your companions. Pause before speaking words that might be hurtful to prove your point. It is our friends and companions that sustain us in our soul’s journey, not verbal victories, especially if our win erodes our human relationships.

Knight of Cups

Message to the World
December 31st, 2019

KNIGHT OF CUPS
As I ask Spirit what message it has for the world today for us to manifest our highest good, I pulled the Knight of Cups – the third time in seven days that Spirit guided me to choose this card.

Cups are the suit of water. They represent emotions, empathy, creativity, and spirituality. A Knight’s role is to promote and protect his liege’s kingdom, sometimes, to help expand it.

In the Knight of Cups, the river flows smoothly, and the air and land are without moisture. The cup that this Knight carries is full of calm, peaceful emotions, of love and compassion. The card contains no turbulence. He rides with intention into a landscape that is all earth with little moisture. The few trees that do grow stand apart from each other.

Earth represents the physical world. As the decade ends, we find ourselves in a social landscape where people value the material above the emotional. Individualism and independence are prized, and we stand apart from each other. Our world is parched for water, for Spirit, for compassion, for selflessness.

Today’s message is to manifest the Knight of Cups, and if we bring nothing else into the new year, we should bring our love, our hope, our spirituality, and our connectivity with each other. We are called to promote these values into the next decade.

THE EMPRESS REVERSED

The Empress is the third Major Arcana card and can represent abundance, nurturing, fertility, creation, femininity, and love. The reversed position can speak to a blockage of energy, to a need to replenish.

Looking at the global view:

As within, without. How can we nurture the world around us if we, ourselves, are depleted of spirituality and compassion or feel worthless? How can we give birth to creative solutions if our intuitive river is blocked?

Our global message today is to gather up our internal children, our shadows and our light, acknowledge, and pour love into them. By learning to love ourselves, we can better love our community.

Open up to the Spirit’s love and energy. By nourishing our spiritual landscape, and refilling our creative wells, we will, once again, have the resilience to tend the world around us, and to look upon our neighbors, and strangers, with recognition and empathy.

Looking more at the nitty-gritty:

Most of us are emerging from a holiday season with our internal resources depleted. Either we gave and gave and gave of ourselves to make family, friends, and neighbors happy over the last week, or we might have been bereft of company, and the loneliness has eroded our feelings of self-worth.

If you are finding yourself low on energy, and feeling frayed around the edges, or overwhelmed with sadness or apathy, the Empress reversed has a special message for you. She gives you permission to tend yourself. Look at yourself with the regard of a loving parent, or enamored lover, or cherished friend, and gift to yourself time and attention.

She is not saying, go out and spend money on yourself. She is encouraging you, instead, to do something for yourself that fills your creative and spiritual river. Take a walk. Meditate. Journal. Cook yourself a favorite meal. Go to a gathering of friends where you are not the host. Read a good book. Find a meeting or event that would inspire you. Do something today for yourself, with mindfulness, and without distraction.

THE LOVERS REVERSED

Inside The Lovers card, there is a garden where we stand, naked, completely exposed, and authentic. We accept our loved ones in their nakedness, and they welcome us in our vulnerability. The Archangel, Raphael, blesses us, and we look to him for guidance, always affirming that our actions are working towards our highest good.

The Lovers Card can symbolize the love of a person, but it can also express making choices from the position of this garden – holding this garden in our mind’s eye as we deliberate. Our hearts brim with authenticity and love as we choose within the boundaries set by the Angels for our highest calling. The Lovers card can also symbolize the need to unify two polar energies to create a whole, to wield love as a binder or a catalyst for transformation.

In the reversed position, we are all out of sorts. The world seems helter-skelter, no longer grounded in the loving garden. We might feel impatient with our loved ones and dissolution with ourselves. Our thoughts are muddled, the blessed road map obscured.

Our message today is to take a moment, close our eyes, breath deeply, exhale any anxiety, tension, or depression, and visualize ourselves standing firmly, once again, under the blessing of Raphael. We must stop the feeling of free-fall, and right ourselves.

In the reversed position, this card cautions us not to take shortcuts in our decisions today, but instead to honor our spiritual path.

It urges us to gaze with love and acceptance upon pieces of ourselves that we dislike and to discover the parts of ourselves that we admire, to accept in unity all of ourselves as we move into the new year.

It asks us, also, to look upon our companions with a vision that is clear of our self-doubts and irritants, and cherish them as they are. With an unfiltered gaze, we can decide if their influence in our lives benefits our higher calling. We can love the people in our lives, and choose to remove ourselves from their hemispheres if their company is toxic to our wellbeing.

Today, pick yourself up, recenter, clarify your spiritual goals, examine yourself and your surroundings with tenderness, and stay on the path to your Greater Good.

ACE OF PENTACLES

Pentacles are the suit of earth, the manifestation of concept into the tangible. Aces are the first card of the suit: the seed, the potential.

We are standing in this weekend pocket between the holidays and the New Decade. Our feet sink into a soft, luxurious lawn. White lilies, symbolizing creative thoughts and inspiration, surround us. The path from this pocket garden, leads through an archway of roses, representing manifestation, and we can see the potential for great heights in the future.

Have you had a nebulous idea, a concept that has been in and out of your thoughts this last week, month, year, or decade? Some direction you’d like to take, a new career path you’d like to try, an idea that you want to build or pursue? Today, the moment is ripe to give your inspiration a solid form in your mind and heart. Take the time today to manifest this seed and to visualize how it will grow and positively change your life, and the world, in the next year and decade. When you walk out of this nurturing garden pocket into the new year, you will carry this beautiful seedling with you.

KNIGHT OF CUPS

When I asked Spirit what Message they had for the world today to help us manifest our Greatest Good, the Knight of Cups marched out of the deck. I did shuffle, and I had several readings between yesterday’s message and today, so this card has something to tell us that I must have missed yesterday.

The Suit of Cups is the suit of water. They symbolize emotions, spirituality, creativity, intuition. The Knight rides through a quiet landscape, the sky without moisture, and the river flowing with hardly a ripple. The ground is dry. The land, parched for water, looks inhospitable, with challenging inclines ahead.

What stands out to me is how deliberate the Knight is. He and the horse are controlled, careful, and methodical. He intentionally carries water to arid land. He brings love and compassion to inhospitable terrain, to people that might not be welcoming.

The message today is to gift our kindness to the dry, hard people, too. Their souls are the soil that needs healing water. One drop of liquid might nourish a seed that will bloom into something beautiful. If the opportunity arises to give our complete attention, and listen with our hearts, to those that we might find it difficult to love, that don’t love us back, or don’t love themselves, we should do so. Distribute the healing elixir of tenderness with an even hand. Set out into the day with mindful intention to be kind.
