Committing to The Longer Journey - Tarot Tuesday

in #tarottuesday6 years ago (edited)

Welcome friends to another Tarot Tuesday

Much love and gratitude to the Steemit tarot community, and to all friends who are reading this now.

Similar to last week, I will be using a simple three card spread as a conduit for my intuition. The intuitive capacity is something that we all have, and you can use your own intuition to see if this message is relevant for you - and if a particular piece resonates in particular. The intention is to send out energy and information that will help us to move forward in our journey of awakening, both personally and collectively. This time is an important time on the planet earth, many beings are caught in the spell of maya (illusion) and also many beings are awakening to the truth. Changes are occurring and will continue to occur collectively, and it all depends on how many individuals take charge of their own journey and open up to their own truth.

You are very important in the scheme of things, and the work you do to unblock yourself is a great gift to the world. Thank you for your service.

With this being said, let's move forward into the reading.

The Spread - XIX The SUN, Knight of Pentacles, XIII Death

The central card is the knight of pentacles, an individual who is single minded and tenacious in what they pursue. This is us and our journey, and taking on the attitude of perserverance and steadiness. Being of the earth element the Knight looks to what practical steps can be taken to advance the story forward. What practical steps can you take to step further into your truth? It could be a small thing that takes 2 minutes, yet that small step will create another, and another... and so on.

The knight is very uncomplaining and is realistic about the obstacles and resistance that come up when we set about working on some project or manifesting a particular idea. This personality is patient and happy to slowly work towards something, because there is certainty in the attitude of persistence. We need to realise that global awakening will not happen in one day, or one month, or even one year, but it will happen gradually and we will definitely see massive changes in our lifetimes.

Most of all, the Knight of Pentacles is not afraid of putting in the work, and with the XIII Death card on the right hand side, we could say that the work is internal in nature. The slow process of pulling out the weeds and the dead wood from our heart space, old emotions and ways of being that no longer serve. These have to go in order to embody your own light more fully. The light of 'The Sun' Card shines brightly into 'the work', illuminating even the deep and hidden realm of the underworld. Carrying your own light forward with sureness, you are equipped to explore the depths of the unknown, balancing and making peace, and using the sharp scythe to sever the past and be free in the now.

With the Sun card as the first card, is announces the tone of this whole statement. Which is one of clarity and sureness. Take some time to really feel that deeply in yourself, you are a divine being that is inhabiting this earth body. You have come with purpose and intent, to be more fully what you are and through that shed light on the world and other beings. The Knight implies that you accept this responsibility and are not going to wait for someone else to do everything for you.

Feel clarity, be illumination, know your ideal outcome and then work toward that. We are not going to compromise for a world of control and scarcity, be realistic and steadfast in making it happen. The illumination of the sun gives you power and strength to proceed forward and face the challenges that need to be faced. Challenges of transforming and remodelling our way of using resources, our ways of relating, and our relationship with the earth its self.

The Death card is about endings and transitions, it's about change and how we navigate it. How will we transition out of scarcity and into a new connected golden age? As people around you drop into the awareness of the many systems that do not work, then how will you respond? Will you be triggered by their panic and fear, or will you remain in the stable grounded place of the knight - shining through with the light of the sun? Change is happening regardless of what our desires are, best to surrender to the process in any way we can.

I have always felt that the death card was an indicator for the shamanic realm, which is another way of saying journeying to different worlds to heal and align ourselves in big ways. Death, and the dying of the ego is a necessary part of travelling to the other world or worlds. Some journeys require us to surrender into that death, because the identity we are carrying is not light and expansive enough to make it through into the next world. To be deeply humbled creates an enormous space for higher vibration to inhabit our consciousness.

This is fairly literal stuff if we consider that we are building the new world or the new earth with our actions and the states of consciousness that we choose to inhabit. If our choices lead us to carry a dense and fearful identity then we will not be going through to the new earth, we will be impeding the process. If we allow such identities to be eaten up and reintegrated by life, then naturally new identities can be formed - born from the light (Sun Card), and through our commitment to the process (Knight of Pentacles).

Over all the message is one of immense integrity and a willingness to commit fully, and to commit to the longer journey. There is such certainty and stability in knowing that you are consciousness, and through that we allow ourselves to transform, die and be reborn into new more expansive states. It's a continual process, so let's not get too attached to a particular way of being. Life is change and growth, birth and death. Our essential nature pervades and transcends all of these things, this life is an opportunity to remember that.

Many Blessings

Awesome! I love what you said...let's not get too attached to a particular way of being. So often as humans, we get stuck on a certain way of being. We do what feels most comfortable and easy as opposed to what's challenging and creating growth. This is a good reminder for me and to others, that it's great to challenge yourself, to learn and to grow. Life is about challenges, accepting them and growing. Every challenge is a lesson and a learning experience. Once you face the challenge, you can move on from it.

Thank you for this post!
