Ii think many of us are wondering about this and don't have a clue.

1st row Left (Past) -  XVII The Star -  Illumination; Hope

&&&&&

2nd row Middle (Advice) - Queen of Swords - Stand your grand; determination; don't back down

2nd row Left (Outcome) - XII The Hanged Man - Truce; inaction; a waiting period

&&&&&

The card on the right is the confirmation card (it just sums up the reading):

Ace of Swords:   A triumphant conquest of great power or force

&&&&&

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.

Weekly Tarot Message for September 12, 2021

 

Bohemian Gothic Tarot Card Deck

Top:  Shadow Card The Queen of Pentacles

1st row Left Past XVI The Tower

1st row Middle Present King of Wands

1st row Right Destination X of Swords


2nd row Right Hidden VIII of Cups

2nd row Middle Advice Page of Wands

2nd row Left Outcome VIII of Pentacles

 

Note:  I am sorry for the delay as this reading took some time to interpret. 

&&&&&

Message: 

The Queen of Pentacles symbolizes Home, Hearth and Motherhood.  However the shadow side of the Queen represents just the opposite.   This Queen seems startled while looking at the picture hanging on the wall.  Clearly she's walked by it many times so why now?  Could it be that she is finally connecting with those she rules over?  The young girl in the picture is baring one breast (showing "availability" possibly as a prostitute in order to put food on the table) and pulling a piece of cloth over her.  It looks like a funerary shroud which was used to cover a corpse before burial.   Maybe she knows that she can't handle much more abuse and hardship and is making preparations.  Note the whip (used for flagellation) on the table to her left and the skull.  

The shroud symbolizes she is already dead not only in her body but in her heart and mind.  The whip has a long history of being used for punishment and abuse.  The skull is a symbol that all things change and transition.  

Maybe this powerful Queen who is addicted to power and the finer things in life is finally getting the message - to be more supportive, more compassionate and more in tune with the needs of those who come to her for advice, comfort and aid.

This card can also, collectively, symbolize an elite and very powerful cabal that rules over Mankind  today, who use every opportunity to abuse and punish those who won't comply with their malefic agenda.  

The Past is XVI The Tower.  This time the tower came through as the word, "collapse."  What are we witnessing today?  Everything we've come to rely on, people, car dealerships, availability of food, even our own healthcare system, is collapsing.  But, remember the skull that symbolizes transition meaning "changing from one position to another".   Keep in mind that all we're seeing, living through right now  is paving the way toward a more beneficial way of living for all people on this planet.

The Present is The King of Wands.  This card represents STABILITY.  Stability in the midst of chaos.  Now it could represent a person, a leader, or it could represent you, asking that you find that place inside you where you feel safe in order to ride out the storm.

The Destination Card is the X of Swords.  Tens in Tarot represent completion; a new cycle is beginning but  the pain, the loss and the sorrow is not over.  We all will be experiencing this card in one way or another as many already have in the days to come.  

&&&&&

2nd row Right Hidden is the VIII of Cups.  This card is telling all of us it is time to move on.  Start by understanding that the old is passing away (remember the X of Swords - Tens in Tarot represent completion and a new cycle beginning) as the old cycle is dying, no longer working or needed.  A new way of living is being prepared for us so start looking ahead and not back.  

2nd row Middle Advice is the Page of Wands.  This time the young page came across as, "If I can do it, you can too."  She is advising us to "Be steadfast and Unafraid" for "The L-rd Thy G-d is With Thee".   

2nd row Left Outcome is the VIII of Pentacles.  This card shows a young girl lovingly carrying a doll away.  Note in the background the aura of death and depression permeating this card as we see an old man glaring after her because he failed in his attempts to make money and get her hooked by one of the more sinister creatures hanging in his shop.  He obviously doesn't care about her feelings but only in the money he could make, the drugs he could sell or the malevolent Puppet Master he could hook her up with.    

Even though she's just a young girl, she instinctively knew what she wanted.  She chose Life and Happiness, over Death as a Puppet being jerked around on a string.  But this didn't come easily as she had to plan, persevere and work hard by sacrificing and saving up enough money.  

Remember, hard work, planning and preparation are crucial to success - Believe in Yourself. 

*The numerical value of this reading is a 6: The ability to transcend difficulties
