* Situation: Contrition: We all can see what is happening in the world but don't know where or who to turn to for answers. In an act of desperation we are prayerfully falling on our knees begging for help.
* Past: Transformation: The Death Card represents physical death but also the death of something that doesn't serve us anymore such as a political or religious belief or our trust in an agency or institution, etc.).
It is a card of Transformation and means in order to start over and receive the beneficial changes manifesting, we need to get rid of the past.
* Present: Resistance: The Devil continues his maniacal quest of subjugation and control over the world. However, instead of continued cooperation from us (turning the other way, ignorance, too busy to get involved because it doesn't affect us, personally) there's a big change occurring. We're starting to stand up and fight for what is right instead of participating in our downfall.
* Destination: (Let It Be So!): The Emperor represents power, stability and authority. It is interesting when this card shows up because it could mean one of two things: An actual person with these qualities coming into being or the direction the world is going in which things will slowly stabilize allowing for our lives to return to normal.
* Hidden: (Mastery): The Magician is an alchemical master, having learned how to master the four elements that make up a human being they are: Earth (the body); Cups (the heart); Swords (the Mind) and Wands (the Soul). He has learned that in order to succeed these four elements must learn how to work together.
The Message: "You" are the Magician with everything you need to thrive and survive. Don't continue relying on others to make your decisions for you. Learn to be the Masters of Your Own Destinies."
* Advice: (Trust but Verify) V The Hierophant: I really don't like this card as I believe this figure representing religious dogma and authority has done more harm to the world than help. And yet here it is in the Advice Position. I interpret this card as a warning: "don't always believe what you're told, what you read, what you see or what you hear" no matter how "learned" the person is or the reputation of the government or agency offering advice:
* Outcome (Enlightenment): IX The Hierophant represents an individual who has gone within (internally) trying to figure what it is that makes us human. He wants to know the inner workings, the intricate mechanisms of human nature and how they work.
He is on a lonely path of self sacrifice in order to gain the understanding he seeks. His lantern is a six pointed star, the Seal of Solomon, standing for Wisdom. He represents the awakening taking place on this planet as people are beginning to question and scrutinize people and events under a microscope.
* Summation (Hanging Tough) XII The Hanged Man. This card signifies many different meanings: Your world turned upside down; letting go; hanging tough; I don't give a shit; what will be will be. Take your pick.
I like to think this card means that everything (in spite of what we're seeing happening) is happening for a reason and going to work out in the end, benefitting all of us.
It counsels us not to stress too much about what's happening rather: Address, assess, confess, rest and decompress.
The numerical value of this reading is 4: Stability, Manifestation, Growth
