Finding the Inner Warrior - Tarot Tuesday

in #inspirational6 years ago (edited)

Greetings my fellow beings

Another Tuesday rolls around and so it's time to consult the cards again for a message.

I have done some pretty funky stuff for the past few weeks, this time I am going to just do a straight up reading.

So here we go

Indepth Tarot Reading for the week ahead

Pulling inward with great strength, we journey into abundance!

We have been witness to some strong energies lately, and they have empowered us in many ways. Now is the time to put them to use.

So let's be clear, now is not the time to get lazy. Keep everything churning over, and commit even more! The potentials are tangibly close, your new life is calling to you.

As the energies come further into alignment, let us honour that by speaking our own truth and acting with integrity. Act as if you were already the uplifted version of yourself and see what happens. Let's upgrade our lives into whole new timelines. This is the greatest gift you can give the collective - being the most joyful and complete you.

The Cards - Generally Gist before we Dive Deep

In this reading we have the '8 of Cups', 'The Chariot', and the '9 of Pentacles'. Overall it looks like there's a theme of movement and travel, with the journey inward being emphasized by the 8 of Cups.

The centre card (VII, The Chariot) is all about reconciling some opposing forces. This card puts us in charge of holding the reigns and keeping things together. In the previous card 'VI The Lovers' (according to the numeric order of the trump cards) we learned about duality and choices. In this card 'The Chariot' we now bring together those forces in productive ways. There is the warlike implication that it is not an easy process, and may require strength and discipline like a warrior.

We don't have to be a literal warrior, it's to do with becoming a warrior internally. So you don't have to practice martial arts but I would advise you to work on disciplining your mind and reconciling your mind and emotions. A lot of time and energy goes down the gurgler because of overthinking (repetitive thinking), doubts, fears, or just habits that we have accrued over time.

Phase 1 - The Eight of Cups

The Journey Inward, Internal World, Self Examination, Looking Deeper

It's time to really be honest with ourselves. What have we come to this world to be and to do?

If you know fully what your purpose of this life is, then that is beautiful. The message in that case is simply to step deeper into that life, and to let go of your old attachments to the unnecessary. Blessed is the one that lives as an example of the truth.

For must of us, we aren't completely sure of our purpose, we are still getting the feel for it. If that is the case then we can allow that uncertainty to set in, be OK with it, and then continue the inward journey to fully connect with our intuition.

The intuition guides us in a strange non linear way, which once we are used to becomes quite natural despite being illogical. The key to this is to open up our heart centre located physically in the chest area. This part of the subtle body is an immense energetic processor and it can give you good advice and 'readings'. There are two common mechanical problems in following our heart centre to its fullest extent. The first is blocked and 'unfelt' emotions, causing a freeze in the hearts sensing ability. The other common problem is placing all of our energy into the mind centre, becoming disembodied and detached or just generally numb.

It's definitely no judgement if either of these things has occurred to us at any point, because our societies are almost engineered to produce these outcomes. So without careful navigation and guidance most of us experience a disconnect at some stage.

The way forward is healing and opening, and for that there is many many paths. Allow yourself to be shown what will work for you. It could be physical exercise, it could be physical or energetic therapies. It could be spiritual teachings. The path for you could be any number of things, so just trust yourself and follow the invitations that are presented right now. Trust, the universe wants you to be whole, now especially more than ever.

Phase 2 - The Chariot

Fight for your Truth, Be Strong, Integrate, Don't Waver, Heart and Head

Having aligned ourselves as best we can on the inward journey, we keep one part of our awareness in that inner realm and with another part we venture out again. It's a kind of game to keep a balance. The world needs our love and attention, yet it should never receive more attention that we give to our internal realm. We act from our heart (internal), and that guides our deeds (external).

People around you might be acting with no integrity, or you may have old habits cropping up that also have no integrity. Be strong in the face of these things. If you can stay balanced through the next energetic cycle; which for the purpose of this reading is the coming week, then these old energies will just fall away.

The old energies of division, conflict, and fear need your permission to continue. As a divine warrior you are coming to the realisation that you can withdraw your input at any moment, returning it once again to your inner place of peace and balance.

The attacks may come strong and in many forms. It is all part of your personal ascension and what is appropriate for you. So whatever it is, a troublesome housemate, family, lovers, people posting on the internet, or just your own internal dialogue going back and forth. We need to use DISCERNMENT.

With the internal clarity we developed in phase 1, we can now put that to use to scan any piece of information or being to know where it is coming from. If the feeling feedback from our hearts is of un-ease or dis-ease then we know it's not coming from a unified place. Disconnect, or use compassion where necessary. If the feeling feedback is of unity and love then I don't need to explain to you that it's ok to roll with that one :)

Phase 3 - The Nine of Pentacles

Abundance, Establishing Ourselves, Enjoying the Fruits, Controlled Desire

The nine carries through some of the flavour from the chariot card with the theme of 'reigning in our desires'. These are characterised by our base chakra energies that drive us toward sleep, food, sex, sensual pleasures. These lower energies do have higher capacities, but in general if our energies are circulating there then we will have a tendency toward seeking these things. The message is clear though, be a little bit strict on yourself. You know what your weak points are, and you know what you can make an improvement on. I don't know where your energy might be leaking to, but you do - so I leave it up to you to use your warrior energy and bring yourself closer to perfection.

It could be a great time to take a Sadhana (spiritual practice, especially for a set number of days). It could be yoga or seated meditation. It could be a martial arts routine, a breathing practice, or singing mantras. You know what is right for you.

That is just one side of the nine though, it also talks about great beauty and abundance. Having reigned in our base nature, we can steadily increase our means both physically and spiritually. The fruits of the harvest are bountiful, so let's enjoy them fully! It might be time to treat yourself to a massage (especially if your Sadhana is a physical one).

Enjoy some delicious fruits literally, personally I am a fiend for pineapple. Choose what works for you, and nourishes your body and soul. I would steer clear of meat as that tends to put us back down into survival and fear energies (an animal fighting other animals for the right to live). We are human, we can go so far beyond that.

There is a sense of completion and solidity, we did it! The intense drive inward to stabilise our minds and emotions has certainly paid off. You may start to notice that one or more areas of your life is really coming into abundance. Trust! And give gratitude for what we do have, that is super important as it aligns us back into the flow of life.

Much Love to all Beings
Unity Balance Integrity
