Tarot Overload Day 12

-

 Hello!

How are we all feeling after that Full Moon? I was EXHAUSTED yesterday.

We are on Week 2! This week, we are taking the cards from last week with the same prompts and intentionally choosing a card that intersects the original two cards. If this sounds confusing, go to Tarot Overload Challenge by Hermit's Mirror to check out his own words. If you're curious and want to read how the earlier days went, you can find them here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

Let's go!

The Prompt

What recurring wounds is at the root of this lesson?

The Pull

Page of Pentacles + Six of Pentacles = The Emperor

The wound is about not feeling confident or stable enough in my financial well-being. I am getting there, don't get me wrong, but I have been through foreclosures, no food, no water, no electricity. I have been through relying on others to feed me and clothe me because I was too poor to do anything other than pay my rent and other bills.

So... really... The Emperor should be reversed. The Emperor is the foundation, the stability that allows the Aries energy to leap with fervor, to light us on fire with passion, to motivate us to move and conquer. 

The lesson was about being able to get back up, even when it's hard. It was about having to work harder even when it feels like I am standing still compared to others. The wound is around abundance and instability. Oof.

Astrology Associations

My Aries placements are in my Moon and Mars at the 2nd house, as discussed on day 5. I didn't even consider this when choosing The Emperor, but once it clicked, it all made sense. I want nothing more in life than stability and comfort. It's very Taurus of me considering I have no Taurus energy, haha. It is also very 2nd house energy.

I feel very attached to my Aries placements as they are placements of passion, drive, and emotion. I like that I am a passionate and driven person. I even like that I am competitive sometimes (especially against myself) because it pushes me to do better, be better, learn more, and grow. Then other times, I am exhausted because it never turns off... especially not with the ADHD. Having Aries placements is a big responsibility, but I'm here for it. 

My rage is sacred. My love is sacred. My passion is sacred.

 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...
