CARD OF THE WEEK: June 13-17, 2022

 

Knight of Cups

Tarot of the Four Elements

by Isha Lerner and Amy Ericksen

June 13-17, 2022: I love this deliriously colorful mer-person and dolphin! They encourage us to flow into a new week heart-first.

This Tarot knight is on a mission of love, compassion, and creativity. Emotional as well as intuitive/psychic sensitivity might high for you now but should be safely attuned to purposeful aims.

Trust your gut--your instincts and clairsentience--a little bit more than you usually do. Embrace new dreams and seek out bold new ways to bring them into this world.

Remember that Tarot knights are doers. You must put your deepest-held values into practice or else they will just be rootless ideas and ideals. It's high time for manifestation!

CARDS OF THE DAY: January 4, 2022

 

The Tower

from The Gill Tarot

by Elizabeth Josephine Gill

below: Princess (Page) of Swords and Prince (Knight) of Cups

 

 

January 4, 2022: We've seen The Tower before. Remember trying to save the puppy? But today's story, courtesy of Elizabeth Josephine Gill's Gill Tarot, offers a more traditional, Rider-Waite-based depiction of the card of sudden breakdowns and dramatic breakthroughs.

Originally, I shuffled the Gill and drew two cards--The Tower and Princess (Page) of Swords for us today. But I also happened to spy one of my favorite artworks from this deck, the moony Prince (Knight) of Cups, a child of nature. Don't miss the earthen goblet which, it would appear, he has freshly shaped from the clay and water before him.

I sensed the Prince wanted to come along into the story, and his longing was underscored when I took a closer look at the The Tower and realized that both our red-headed Princess and our crowned Prince were likely the same as The Tower's two figures depicted in mid-fall.

See what I mean?

As I've laid the cards out here, both figures fall (no pun) to the right of The Tower and so suggest that their fall has not been fatal. They have landed intact, surviving a period of upheaval that was out of their control. 

The Princess can refocus now on her studies, her expressiveness, and all matters of learning and the mind. Her growth continues. The Prince can find a safe space in which to open his highly-attuned senses to the environment and creatively shape what he wants to see in the world out of his love of the world.

The Tower can be something that needs to be struck by lightning, and it's destruction (or its profound change) is a beneficial outcome.

CARDS OF THE WEEKEND: November 27, 2021

 

Queen of Cups and Knight of Cups

from Tarot of The Cat People

by Karen Kuykendall

 

November 27, 2021: I adore cats and have always loved Karen Kuykendall's Tarot of The Cat People. As you might have guessed from my earlier remarks about The Diamond Tarot, I always do what I can to help my Tarot clients get past fear of strange, potentially alarming Tarot images, and cats--even big jungle felines, like in this weekend's two cards--can certainly help with that. I used to read with this deck a lot. It's not the most serious, esoteric deck, for sure. But it's just lovable and beautifully designed.

The royal and noble tigers here in this weekend's cards help deliver a world of love to you. The Queen of Cups and the queen's Knight of Cups, teaming up here, could not be more alert, buoyant, generous, and active in your life right now. They are on the case, and you're going to feel their energy infusing, warming, and lifting your own.

Spirit is bathing you in the sweet waters of grace and dissolving the hard boundaries around issues and problems so these irritations and troubles soften and morph into something more workable. This alchemy begins in your ability and willingness to let go of your own tightly-held beliefs about what ails or hampers you and to allow change to happen to your ultimate benefit.

Listen for a (possibly subtle) change in the atmosphere around you and/or around the thing with which you are concerned. Stay alert to an idea floating up from the subconscious--or out of the blue--and opening up a new way to approach an issue.

And be sure to catch up with all of the cards you might have missed since I began this series on November 2. Here's a link to a handy list!
