It won’t be
a surprise to you all that I've chosen the Original Rider Waite Tarot to pull
my daily card from. And for today I've got Temperance: The beautiful calm and serene angel who is standing with one foot in the water and the other one on
the land. This card always reminds me of the Star card. Only while the woman
from the Star is emptying her jugs completely, the angel of Temperance is pouring
the liquid from one cup into the other. There
is a sense of caution in this card as if
the angel is afraid to spill a drop and also as if he or she is testing the waters
before walking in. The Fool which I've pulled yesterday would have jumped in
right away. Perhaps this card is telling me besides to be spontaneous and carefree,
it is also wise to remain prudent. Not to act without a second thought of
the consequences. This was the message from the Stag (Wildwood Tarot). As I come
to think it, this card is making a perfect blend between the playful childlike
energy of The Fool and the responsibility of the Stag. I just love it when my
readings fit together.
I love the Temperance card; it always reminds me I don't have to choose one cup. I can mix a little of one with the other. It took me years to see the path BETWEEN the two mountains (heading toward the crown) in the background, which now always makes me think of Buddha's Middle Way.
ReplyDeleteThis card reminds me of my children playing in the sea pouring water from on cup or bucket into the other . They could be at it for hours, so to speak. The sound of the running water is so calming and cooling whiles running over your hands. We should be obligated to do this for five minutes before making any decision.
DeleteWhy is is so difficult to walk the middle way? It should be the most natural choice
This morning, and after your cards yesterday, all that comes to my mind is blending all the pieces or your approaches to your new adventure. Carefully or I guess you could say moderately. The goal is to get to that Sun.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,Yes it is a beautiful path to walk towards that sun. It looks like a crown to me, a kind of reward perhaps or Nirvana when you've walked the middle way, Sycamore was talking about
