"Eclipsed"


Note:  While shuffling, a tarot card flipped out of the deck.  When this happens it is of importance and to be turned over.  It was VI The Lovers Card.

SITUATION:  The Hierophant represents all aspects of society such as social,  economic and religious institutions and bodies and, as such, wields enormous influence.   

The Hierophant is just another name for The Pope or High Priest and is connected to the High Priestess Tarot Card, a religious Master or icon.  Even though his role is supposed to be one of teaching, mentoring and guiding one along their spiritual path in life we'are all finding out now just how untrue this really is. 

The Church (the body of Christ) is in disrepair and crumbling.  This is happening not only in the Catholic Church but other Christian churches as well such as Baptist, Presbyterian, etc. 

People are now leaving the Church in droves, questioning authority and becoming disenchanted with the answers (or no answers at all) they seek.  
 
This is because the Church is being exposed for what it is.  Just a mouthpiece or front for illicit activities, deviancy, money making schemes and abuse of power.

Its true nature is now being revealed.

Not only is the Pope only interested in maintaing power and control over his followers, but we recently found out that he had been secretly suppressing the number of pedophiles within his midst who were openly abusing young boys.

In addition some of the other "Christian" churches are now embracing abortion and transgenderism.

CHALLENGE:  The Sun stands for The Light, for Peace, Harmony, Joy, Beauty and Abundance.  Without the sun there would be no gardens or farms, orchards and vineyards  - there would be no life at all on this planet.  

The challenge for us during these times is to keep that Light (Christ) first and foremost in our minds and hearts as we continue our arduous journey of Ascension because those in control of this world, a very few yes but extremely powerful and evil will continue to do everything to keep us from reaching our goal resulting in our suffering more pain, loss and sorrow.        

GUIDANCE:  The Justice Card, meaning balance, also stands for Peace.  If someone wrongs someone and gets away with it and eventually found out and brought to justice, then those who suffered as a result will experience closure and the peace that follows.  This card also stands for Reconciliation (healing) and Redemption (recovery).    

HIDDEN:   The Lovers Card signifies a perfect union, love and harmony.  Interesting that this card represents Christ's love and purpose for us.  First is reconciliation healing us, redemption, recovering what was lost - our relationship with Him and then Justice (Peace).

OUTCOME:  The Death Card informs us that Resurrection is at hand another word for Restoration.  We are in the midst of massive change leading to Humanity's Rebirth.  

SUMMARY CARD 1:   The Temperance Card in this reading came across as, "Forgiveness."  Christ forgave us but, remember, we also have to learn to forgive ourselves.

SUMMARY CARD 2:    The Fool Card represents Humanity, our first step out of the womb as we merrily skip along down the road, without a care in the world as we are free from fear and a song in our heart. 

HECATE ORACLE:  #38 The Horse represents Endurance, Perseverance and Resilience all necessary attributes needed for the times we're in. 


This is a message to all of us, related to the Lovers Card, the Death Card and the Temperance Card, that Humanity is on the cusp of a New Beginning, one in which we will  play a part and be a part of as we are now being eclipsed -  removed from the Dark (The Moon - Covert) and into the Light (The Sun - Luminosity) 

"Bringing Heaven Down to Earth"


The numerical value of this reading is 9:  Bringing things to a conclusion; attainment and wisdom

Adding Summary Card 1 is:  5:  Instability; conflict; change; challenges; fluctuation

Adding Summary Card 2 is 5:  Instability; conflict; change and challenges

Total is 10 or 1:  Completion; End of a Cycle and Renewal (Rebirth) 



Hecate Oracle Card #38 The Horse offers encouragement to us by activating those inner resources we have available such as endurance, perseverance and resilience during these trying times as the cards say that we will still be subjected to them. 

To trust these strengths as we have the power to overcome anything by activating and bringing together our mind, body and spirit.
