Something New Old

Something I used to do and do again (for now).

Tarot for the next 78 days:

Current Position - Three of Wands. Hard work and travel. The princess takes a long journey to rescue her prince, making sacrifices and surviving trials along the way. If she stays motivated, her efforts will be rewarded. Self-motivation, freedom, reward, romance.

What Crosses - The Sun (inverted). Missed opportunities, delays, doubt, fear of missing out, depression.

What's Above (cerebral influences) - Eight of  Swords (inverted). Freedom, new perspectives, taking a stand, strength, healing.

What's Below (emotional influences) - Ace of Coins (inverted). Bad finances, excessive spending, greed, stinginess, poor planning.

What's Behind (the past) - Two of Swords. Being stuck between hard choices. Sita's decision between Scylla and Charybdis is not easy and cannot be made blindly; it calls for self-reflection. Things can only remain balanced for so long before a move must be made. Facing fears, a stalemate, denial, opposition, a precarious position.

What's Before (the future) - Five of Swords. A fight won through deceit. Set overthrows his brother Osiris and is seen gloating over his brother's inconsolable wife, Isis. While Set represents a tyrant of a victor, Isis is a defeated combatant who will eventually bring about Set's defeat. Surrender, betrayal, bullying, violence, crime.

How Others See It/You - The Moon. The subconscious and all its illusions, potential, pitfalls, and the possibility of self-deception. Here, two tanukis - shape-shifting raccoon-like animals - each stare at a different moon, though it is not clear which is the real one. Trickery, melancholy, anguish, illusion, secrecy.

Where You Will Find Yourself (the environment) - The Chariot. Harnessing emotions and charging down a straight, clear path. Where the prince may have floundered before, he has learned from his mistakes and now blazes forward confidently. A journey, perseverance, rushed decisions vengeance, victory.

Hopes & Fears - The Hierophant. A divine figure and teacher who shares the rules, rites, and rituals to follow as a community. There is a place for everyone, and everyone in their place. She encourages the comfort and support of the group, the path well-trodden. Conformity, compassion, social approval, tradition, legacy.

(Possible) Outcome - Page of Swords. Youthful intelligence. Princess Parizade uses her wit to succeed where others have failed, her optimism intact through it all. She is a harbinger of new beginnings and new ideas for herself and those around her. Talkativeness, energy, thoughtfulness, curiosity, truthfulness. 


...as they say in Letterkenny - "Not s' bad."
