"Letting Go"
* After the Sacred Mystery of Death There is a Glorious Mystery of Resurrection:
The Shadow Card, XII The Hanged Man, gives the general, overall "feel" for the spread.
This card signifies sacrifice, surrender and a willingness to transcend and evolve.
It shows a man hanging from the gallows (the tau cross) signifying the fulfillment of the revealed Word of G-d). The crossed leg means "eventual attainment" and forms an inverted triangle, a water sign (feminine) meaning downward flow.
We can't see his hands but suspect they are tied preventing him from freeing himself as they are no longer necessary for his spiritual liberation.
He has a halo of light (also known as a "nimbus") around his head meaning radiant light or glory. Think of the saying, "I have seen the light". Waking up; patience; submitting to a course of events; taking a different perspective on life; enlightenment.
* Bye Bye:
The Past, XV The Devil came across as a dark energy that is losing its grip on Humanity. Its time is almost up as more and more of us are waking up to the fear, deception and darkness that this card symbolizes.
* Rapid and Sudden Transformation: The Present is X The Wheel of Fortune, also known as The Wheel of Life. This card depicts change and the interconnectedness of life, free will and responsibility. One day we're up and the next day we're down; winning and losing.
* A Gentle Approach: The Destination Card, VIII Strength, stands for patience, diplomacy and a gentle touch. When have you approached a situation out of frustration, not taking the time to sort things out and then reacting in anger, having to clean up the mess you made?
I have and I know you have, too. This card is letting us know that we need to take a step back and deal with the situation calmly.
* Death Has No Sting: The Hidden Card is XIII Death. There are 4 steps involving the death process: "Fear, Pain, Denial and Acceptance".
This card does not always stand for physical death but also has other meanings such as spiritual Transformation, the old giving way to the new.
This process is underway, now.
* Claim Your Power: The Advice Card, I The Magician, tells us that we have the power to change our lives, our circumstances, etc.
With his left hand he points to earth meaning our reality and life experiences are part of an infinite fractal pattern. With his right hand he points to the sky meaning, "We are not yet part of the "Whole" as we have not yet attained spiritual awareness.
Again, we are presently ascending and progressing toward this realization.
* Alignment: The Outcome Card XIV Temperance echoes the meaning of VIII Strength Card. It shows a woman pouring water onto land, representing the material (earth) and onto a pond of water representing the universe. She is harmonizing, blending the two together.
Again, this feminine (softening, gentle, nurturing) process is happening now.
*****
Note: After doing this reading, I was struck again, by the fact that this was another spread that didn't really address all the visceral shit happening in our world today: The mass shootings, death, food shortages, insane fuel and food prices, violence, corruption and crime.
So, I pulled another card asking, "Why isn't this being addressed?"
The card I turned up was XVII The Star.
Its meaning: "Have Faith and Trust the Universe."
It can't get much clearer than that.
Numerical value of this reading is 10 or 1 = Tens are the completion (both physical and spiritual) of the Wheel (the Wheel of Fortune) getting back to "1" carrying with it all the experiences of the 9 other numbers on its way around the circle
