Tarot Overload Day 1

-

 Hello, everyone!

When I started this Tarot Overload Challenge by Thomas over at Hermit's Mirror, I did not think I would be blogging about it. It is definitely worth hopping over to his blog for the prompts and the guidelines.


The Prompt

What am I here to do in this life?


The Pull:

Part of this challenge is to pull in a random way. I pulled Strength in the way I usually shuffle cards... wait until one flies out. The Queen of Wands came out from the arc above. I closed my eyes, ran my right hand across the arc until I felt a pull. This happened to be a physical pull where my pink grazed the card, and it shot out. It was perfect.

The Meaning:

While I could write just the meaning, I know that Thomas' challenges are meant to be an in-depth writing assignment. So, hold on to your hats. I have taken this time to include some astrology from my natal chart (Thank you, Thomas for the inspo!), and I am glad I did because it took a basic interpretation, and it brought it deeper for me.

I have no planets or placements in Leo, but both of these cards are associated with Leo, or rather fire energy in the case of The Queen. When doing a deeper dive into her associations, she is associated as the water of fire, Pisces and Aries combo, but most commonly, people associate Leo with her. Looking at her regal and beautiful garb, yes, I would agree with Leo.

Leo rules the 5th house. The 5th house is about pleasure and joy. It is a creative and sensual house. I have Cancer in my 5th house. Know where I have Cancer in my chart? Chiron... so, there it is! I know what I am here to do in the context of these cards. I need to help heal that wound within myself.

In this lifetime, I am to find pleasure. I am to find the inner strength to reclaim joy, pleasure, and creativity without the shame or guilt placed on me by sexism, capitalism, or white supremacy (yes, white supremacy affects white people negatively, too). 

Affirmations:

I reclaim my inner successful, sovereign artist. I flow with joy and creativity.

Summary:

I can't wait to continue this challenge. I will be posting here. Will you be joining in? At the time of writing this, I am already finished with Day 2, and it was even more amazing. This is going to be a transformative journey, I can tell.

Be well, beauties!

 Greetings, all! Here is another installment of the  Tarot Overload Challenge  by  Hermit's Mirror . If you're curious and want to read how the first two days went (honestly, they were amazing! I was hooked by the end of day 1), you can find day 1  here , day 2  here , and day 3 here . Let's dive on in! The Prompt What lesson am I learning through this life journey? The Pull Today's second card came from another numbers game. I got the 10 of Wands so I decided to shuffle 10 times and pull the top card. Out came The Chariot in reverse. I have gotten at least one major every day so far! Very interesting... There are some very big and transformative energies in this challenge. My lesson is the patience and determination to get through the hard parts in life. Even when I feel stuck, I still have the strength to flip that chariot back over and drag it up that hill (to make a deal with god). Astrology Associations The Chariot is, of course, the Cancer card. Again...

 Hello, everyone! This will be a daily (hopefully) series! If you missed the first post, I am participating in the Tarot Overload Challenge by Thomas over at Hermit's Mirror . Definitely pop over to the blog to grab the prompts and guide to pulling cards. Yesterday's post is here . I had an amazing first day, and today was even better. Let's Go! The Prompt What gift have I been given to what I have to do in this life? The Pull I shuffled as I usually do, and Temperance came out. I didn't want to do the arc again like I did yesterday because it wasn't resonating. I remember that HermitsMirror had done something with numbers to get to his next card (the details are here ), and I thought about how I wanted to be guided today. I shuffled 3 more times, and I counted down to the 14th card because Temperance is number 14. The Magician came out. I was floored and way too excited. I have the gift to transmute the old into something new. It is through that inner strength, kn...

Dream Visit

Greetings, friends! Before you start, I want to offer a trigger warning about death, grief, and a visit from the afterlife. I woke up this morning mid-sob, mid-hyperventilation, mid-sniffle. For the Cancer lunar cycle, I was doing a dream ritual nightly before bed at the guidance of Artemis. I have since stopped, and I have been getting the most intense dreams ever since. Here is why I woke up sobbing this morning. Goddess Statue from  here My nana visited me in my dream. I have never had this happen before.  My nana died in May of 2019 while I was in grad school doing my practicum. It was the longest 5 days of my life. I did not sleep more than about 3 hours each night, and I dissociated my way through the trip trying not throw up from the constant lack of sleep. I had homework to do, and I watched in horror as my nana was sicker than I had ever seen her, and she was being neglected. She passed the day after I came home.  In my dream, I was staying at my nana's place. It...
