Fabulous Fierce Friday ~ a good time to let go

As we are moving into the big solar eclipse, I thought I’d pull 3 cards today instead of one. I am looking at the 5 of Swords, the Star, and the reversed Ace of Cups.

Allow yourself to let go of clinging to the reliving of past emotions; explore where you are in the grand scheme of the universe; you may be resistant to this transformation and new beginning.

These cards taken together could be seen as pointing to loss – which does not have to be a negative thing.  Perhaps it is time to lose bad habits, low motivation, negative thoughts, poor health, false friends, spiritual blindness.

Spend some moments reflecting on what it is you would like to receive during this intense time-frame, and what you would like to release.

Friday Tarot ~ The High Priestess (r), 7 of pentacles

For Fridays I will be pulling a card from various tarot decks.  After a week of oracular guidance I thought it would be nice to see what the tarot has to say about the week behind and the weekend ahead.   These will be very brief ~ after all the weekend is coming and we all have things to do.

Today I am working with the Smith-Waite deck.

The first card is the High Priestess, in a reversed aspect.  This card suggests that you have embraced the week’s journey with passion and a true involvement.  There is a cautionary note here, to not become too immersed in that process so you don’t lose the sense of who you are.

The second card is the 7 of Pentacles ~ the work you have been doing is bringing you rewards.  As you go into your weekend, you can feel confident that this process will continue.

Taken all together, this week has been one of seeking out joy and passion, letting go of things which no longer suit us, re-committing to our goals and growth, and reaping the benefits of that process.
