This week's reading was done on The Rose Tarot by Nigel Jackson. It was gifted to me from my friend Larry when he visited. I am just getting to know it, but I really like the overall feel to the cards. I shuffled the cards and asked for a reading for someone who will see this post. I never know who the reading is for until I post it- read on and see if it's for you!
The reading begins with the 4 of Swords. If this is your reading, there is something that you have been holding back. You have been in a state of suspension, taking a pause and looking at things. You may feel like you have been walking on eggshells or avoiding saying something that needs to be said. You are still- but you are planning for the future.
The 9 of Coins appears next, showing that you feel the most comfortable on your own. When it comes to practical matters such as work- you would rather manage things your own way. You enjoy being by yourself and are quite successful and prosperous when you follow your own path. You prefer to work in mellow silence. You like to 'putter around' and move at your own pace.
The Magus appears next showing you in a position where you have to use your mind. There is something that has to be done, and you may have to think around corners to make it happen. This is a card of action and moving forward with purpose. With the Magus, you find a way to accomplish your goals. All of the opportunities are present right now and it's time to take a clear step forward.
The key to this reading is the 4 of Cups. While this reading has been practical and focused on mundane things, there is an emotional element to it. It is important to consider the people that you let get close into your life. Draw lines and maintain your boundaries well. Consider the implications of letting new people into your life. This is a 4- and it is connected to the Emperor, as is the 4 of Swords. You are trying to regain control of a situation that has gotten out of control emotionally. Discernment is your key in the future.
Here's what I see. You have been in a situation that has been really challenging for you. You haven't been speaking your mind, and you have been keeping a lot to yourself. You have been frozen, trying to decide how to manage something. You are realizing that you would rather work on your own. You are happy by yourself- you are an independent thinker with high potential for prosperity when you are not subjected to difficult situations and people. It's time to take an action that will change your life and put you back in control of the situation. Yet this is not just a time of action- the key is reflection. How did you get into that position in the first place? How can you avoid it in the future? How can you make decisions about people that keeps you from being in a position where you freeze up? And if you work so well on your own- why do you keep trying to work with people?
Have a great week! If you need a reading this week, send a message to irisxtarot@gmail.com.
