~ Reading ~

"We are Navigating Through the Dark Night of the Soul"   



SITUATION:  The Sun's meaning when I turned it over came through, loud and clear as "Catharsis":  A purifying figurative cleansing of emotions especially fear.  A release of emotional tension after an overwhelming experience that restores and refreshes the spirit.

CHALLENGE:  The Star means Hope and is a symbol of "guiding us home".  Hope is one thing that will get us through the most challenging of times.  If one loses Hope it only means that difficulties will continue to get even harder.  And, it is extremely difficult to have any Hope at all when we all saw what just happened in Israel on October 7.    

This is where we can start losing faith in ourselves and in Humanity as a whole.  We then resort to wondering if there really is a God and why He would allow this atrocity to happen.

I don't have the answers to this and neither do you but be warned that the times we're in now will continue to test us even more.  We have a choice to give up and die or continue to believe that there is good in the world and destined to overcome evil. 

If we give up and allow ourselves to lose faith then we are done.  Would you agree that we cannot let that happen.

FOCUS:   Our focus should be on The Devil as the reason for so much anguish, loss, pain and sorrow on this planet. Again, I can't prove he exists and neither can you.  But isn't it interesting that he is always there when bad things happen. 

Do you ever see any good person or people cutting off babies heads, raping women and girls. setting elderly people on fire and machine gun innocent people in their homes?

GUIDANCE:  The Magician represents our ability to prosper and able to manifest anything we want in our lives.  The magic is inside of us - we just have to believe in ourselves in order for it to manifest.

OUTCOME:  The Hermit is all about learning to walk the path that was designed for us in order to find the Wisdom to prosper.  For without this most precious of gifts, you will find yourself going nowhere. 

The Hermit represents sacrifice and those things one must do in order to gain the ability to obtain what we desire allowing us the ability to overcome obstacles hindering our spiritual growth.    

It takes a leap of faith and an act of courage to bravely go within and start searching out who you really are.    This does not mean to turn your back on humanity as a whole and hide in a closet but understanding that sometimes isolating yourself from a crazy world will result in unexpected truths you need to acquire. 

This, along with contemplation, meditation and doing the required homework.

SUMMARY:  The Hanged Man represents Humanity's Liberation.  He's been 'round the block and the first round he failed because his arrogance got in the way.  Several more trips were required in which he had to learn some important lessons, one being humility, patience, tolerance and acceptance.

The numerical value of this reading is:  7:  Reflection; assessment; discovery; spirutuality; wisdom  

Adding the Summary Card is:  3:  Fruition, attainment; bringing things to a conclusion; completion 

If you add both together it is 10 or 1 (both meanings the same thing):  New Beginnings, the number 1 deals with that which is about to take form

Completion and end of a cycle; Renewal
