Four of Vessel and Ace of Bows: leaping out of limbo

Yesterday was a difficult day. Last Friday, M. had learned from her doctor she had to have an ultrasound of a lump under her yaw which has been sitting there for about six weeks. And we all know what everybody is  thinking, when a lump is in the picture. Whenever one of my kids is not healthy and I don’t know what is wrong with them, I worry a lot and my anxiety tends to get overwhelming. Gradually I get sucked in a kind of limbo, where all I can do is wait, hope and pray and desperately seek for distraction in gaming or watching TV-series. In limbo tarot shouldn't be allowed. The cards speak only about gloom and doom and I am forgetting the fact I don’t do predictions. But then the moment came we were at the hospital and the doctor spoke the liberating words:” It’s nothing serious”. I barely could keep myself from kissing the man. We celebrated life with a large ice-cream. When I came home I felt so good, happy and relieved.

This morning I looked at the last two cards I had pulled yesterday before we went to the hospital. And no, the Ace of Bows isn't a laser or radiotherapy and the Four of Vessels isn't a waiting room in a hospital. When I look at those two cards today  I see myself sitting in limbo not knowing what to feel; “Sickness of the soul” and “emotionally frozen” the book is calling it. But then there is this Ace of Bows,this spark of life,which encourages us to stand up and start living again. It is almost like a rebirth.

  1. First, big hugs all around for you and M. Honestly I deal much better with waiting to hear news dealing with me than my kid. My heart goes out to you and what you both had to go through emotionally - it can be so draining. Yet what a feeling of rebirth when the news is good!

  4. So happy for your good news. Now...the 4 of Cups could be your limbo of waiting that you describe, and the Ace of Bows could be the 'spark of life' you felt that led you to celebrate with ice cream. So many ways to look at it. :D
