Tarot Reading

Card 0: The Wheel (reversed); The Wheel represents constant changes, life's cycle, Karma, the flow of luck. Read upside down, it means I am resisting change, trying to fight against the cycle and therefore missing opportunities. The flow of luck turns bad when reversed.

Card 1: Four of Swords; This card is of rest, retreat and introspection. This is what I need. I need time to be with myself.. to recuperate. I need time to think, about what I want.. and to regain my bearings again.

Card 2: The Hanged Man; A period of waiting, the Hanged Man surrenders to a calm disposition of contemplation while hanging from a tree branch. I will see the world from a new perspective, I will gain acceptance of what is, what isn't and what will be. I will surrender the old ways that are not working, and embrace new thoughts and ideas.

Card 3: The Tower; The Tower crumbles, fabrication falling away, revealing only truth and what really is. The devastation remains, but the old ways will be replaced with new ones, and I will rise up stronger and wiser.

Card 4: Page of Cups; Pages symbolize youthful people, newcomers, people who are very new at something and just starting at it, apprentices. The Page of Cups is sensitive, gentle and dreamy with the soul of a poet. He delivers beautiful messages of creativity, is deeply empathetic and represents the beginning of a creative venture. Page of Cups may also relate to love letters and caring, thoughtful messages.

Card 5: Two of Coins; He is juggling two coins while balancing on the back of a running lizard. Life is in constant motion. I need to know how to juggle my needs and my responsibilities while keeping things in balance. I need to learn to move on, to remain adaptable to changes in life while keeping focus of the direction in which I want to go.

I started going back into tarot cards again when I realise I now had the means to support all the "hobbies" I gave up before. In other words, I'm collecting tarot decks. Isn't it a little funny how we always turn to 'spiritual powers' and 'higher beings' for advice when we are at a loss?
