Message:
*The Shadow Card revealed that the first thing we need to do, in order to surmount our unfolding situation, is VIII Strength. What is meant by strength? It's faith in the midst of uncertainty, learning to keep calm in a crisis; providing the necessary resources and emotional support when and where needed.
*The Past shows we had hope for the future. We had our ups and downs but, generally, I think that most of us thought that our lives would get better, not worse. We hoped we'd get that job we wanted, marry the right person, have a family, finally get an acceptance letter from a favorite college or university and be able to enjoy that vacation we had saved and planned for.
Then came COVID.
*The Present is I The Magician and tells us we all are hoping for an end to the misery and chaos we now find ourselves in. Maybe, if we look into a crystal ball, we'll find the answer to our problems. problem(s). Maybe, just maybe, we need to take it one step further and realize that Faith (and not a crystal ball) is one of those things that will get us through whatever we'll be facing.
*The Destination Card is X The Wheel of Fortune. This card relates to I The Magician Card. We're still looking into that crystal ball, trying to figure things out and hoping for a solution. The Wheel of Life is ever turning, we never know where it's going to land, it could be right side up (good) or just the opposite (not so good). It's like the "luck of the draw" and Karma. So, basically, our Destination is still up in the air. But this card reinforces the meaning behind the Strength Card in that we need to have faith that we will get through this for without Faith nothing is possible.
*The Hidden Card (Ace of Wands) shows what's around us, the energy we cannot see. This card signifies that something is coming that is full of energy, courageous and bold. It could symbolize a person or an event. But the feeling is that it will be good (and sorely needed, I might add). Maybe, even, "just in time."
*The Advice Card (Queen of Swords) says this: "Believe in yourself; when push comes to shove - stand your ground; this is not the time to back down; stay strong". There is Strength (see the Shadow Card) in numbers.
*The Outcome Card is XII The Hanged Man. This card shows a truce of some kind; negotiations; inaction and a time of waiting (hibernation) or contemplating something. A lull in the war; regroup; a Time Out. This is a good thing but we'll have to wait and see how where and when it manifests. And I do believe that when "it" happens, we'll all recognize it for the good it is.
&&&
*The Confirmation Card (that adds extra meaning to the reading) is The Ace of Swords (see the card on the far right): This card symbolizes a triumphant conquest, great power or force.
Keep the Faith, Folks, Now More Than Ever We All Need to Know that G-d is in the midst of the whirlwind, in the deepest depths of the ocean and in the Dark where we can't see (but He can).
Galatians 5:22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
The numerical value of this reading is 3: The number 3 is the cementing of 1 and 2 and goes through to 4 bringing about that which is desired and envisioned.
