CARDS OF THE WEEKEND: January 21-22, 2023

 

Two of Pentacles and Temperance

Neo Tarot

January 21-22, 2023: Balance and blending are the key concepts here, illustrated by two cards from Neo Tarot who wished to collaborate on this weekend's message--the Minor Arcana's Two of Pentacles and the Major Arcana's Temperance.

The first most often refers to balance within practical, earthly matters with the prancing figure skillfully keeping everything moving in harmony. The second takes things to more psychological, archetypal, and magickal levels, hinting that it's possible to make the "impossible" happen.

Consider the truth, too, that what we think of as earthly and what we think of as spiritual are already one, already perfectly functioning as one. Lean and relax into that reality.

I continue to enjoy Daiana Ruiz's art for this deck, and I especially love the sapphire blue spurt of water from vessel to bowl and the lavender aura emanating from the Temperance angel's head. And, of course, that outfit with its wing-like power shoulders!

CARD OF THE WEEKEND: March 5-6, 2022

 

Two of Pentacles

Morgan-Greer Tarot

March 5-6, 2022: With strong water and air symbols of ongoing change in its background, Bill Greer's Two of Pentacles also makes two gleaming pentacles, earth symbols, prominent and foregrounded. Like glowing headlights. Like shields.

Steady as you go, mate. Keep things organized and manageable while the environment around you undergoes shifts, expected and unexpected. Root yourself in something reliable, yet be flexible enough to respond to emergent needs.

Notice that the pentacles are not held in a straight horizontal line; there's a hint of movement and adaptability there, too. Change within and without is inevitable. How do you respond?

In the midst of all of this, uphold higher values that have always and will always sustained you.

CARDS OF THE DAY: February 11, 2022

Queen of Cups and Two of Pentacles

Neo Tarot

by Jerico Mandybur with art by Daiana Ruiz

February 11, 2022: I so love the figures in Neo Tarot, their graceful dynamism. So here are two drawn for your day:

One, the Queen of Cups, carefully balances a goblet constructed of four disparate parts while holding a big orange ball steady beneath one firmly-planted foot. Two serene Black cherubs hover above, eyes closed in prayer.

The other--the figure in the Two of Pentacles--prances forward while expertly juggling two pentacle-balls in a figure-eight pattern, the energy of eternal motion.

Cups symbolize, among other things, human feelings, and pentacles can represent practicalities.

Looking at these two cards--with their two cherubs and two pentacle/juggling balls--I'm thinking about that expression: "Feelings are not facts."

But sometimes our feelings (Cups) really are facts (Pentacles) that need acknowledgement and acceptance as such. Know when this is true. Respect the Queen--of your feelings--and learn how to juggle, alternate, balance, and work with these feelings in a safe, fruitful way.

They are dynamic and changeable, and you can make exciting magic out of them, if you juggle them just right. The cherubs bring tender affirmation to your project or situation and heal any sense of doubt or defeat you might be harboring.

The act of walking or dancing moves us out of and into balance and out of and into balance again--does it not?--step after step. The act of motion or dancing in a wheelchair opens up new spaces to be and express. Everyday magick.

We move to claim something new and be something new.

Let's dance!
