Weekly Tarot Message for February 21, 2021

 

The Gilded Tarot 

 

I used XXI The World Tarot Card as the main theme (or focus) of this reading as it reflects what is happening to us and our planet, globally.   

1.  Top Row Middle:  XXI The World:   

A cycle has reached completion.  It could mean physical death or the way we conduct business or govern or maybe a belief system is undergoing change.  In any case, the old is dying, paving the way for something new to emerge. 

2.  Top Row Left:   The Past (How did we get here?):  XIII Death:  

This card reflects the World card in meaning.  It could represent physical death or something we leaned on, trusted in is ending paving the way for something new to replace it.  It also means transformation - transforming from one thing to another.  

3.  Top Row Right:  The Present (Where are we now and where are we going?):  XII The Hanging Man:  

This card represents a complete reversal of our thinking and the roles we play.  Through trials and sacrifice the man is able to see the reality of the world he lives in and all that goes on from a completely different perspective.  His thinking has been turned upside down (transformed).

4.  Middle Row Right:  What is Hidden From Us:  VII of Pentacles:  

We are in the midst of doing a risk assessment re business and financial matters but could also mean doing a personal risk assessment of just who we are as individuals, what we need to do in order to survive and thrive and where we are going, individually.  

5.  Middle Row Left:  What Do We Need to Do (Advice)?:  Knight of Swords:  

Set a goal.  You are single minded right now and know what needs to be done.  Put on your suit of armor and meet whatever comes your way, boldly.  

6.  Bottom Card:  Outcome:  III of Swords:

This card indicates heartbreak and sorrow as we journey forward, together, learning a painful truth.

Message:  This reading is all about change (transformation) from the old to the new.  It is akin to childbirth in which the woman carries the child for 9 mos. and then gives birth.  There is no pain during the 9 mos. but only comes when the baby is ready to leave the familiarity and security of the womb and enter the world.

* I thought it would be interesting to provide the spiritual numerical value of the year 2021:  When you add up the numbers 2, 2 and 1 they add up to 5:  The no. 5 means:  change, fluctuations and conflict. *

The numerical meaning of this reading is a 10:  "The actual completion of a cycle and moving toward a new beginning".
