Moving from Summer to Fall with The Sun in my heart

By know, I suppose you all know I am not fan of Summer. In the beginning of this week it looked like Summer was finally over. Temperatures had dropped quite significantly and it was pouring all day long. Love it!! Drinking coffee, knitting socks and listening to the falling rain… I don’t need much to make me happy.
But nothing is as unpredictable than the weather and since Wednesday it is sweltering hot again. And so I asked how to overcome my disappointment about this and I pulled three cards:
1 How does this weather make me feel? – Ten of Swords.
Now that is exactly how I feel: defeated, self pitying , complaining about how hot it is, not being able to do anything physically active, depressed, you name it, I feel it.  I want to stop this so badly because it is preventing me from enjoying my day. So let’s see what I can look forward to, which might cheer me up a bit
2 What will Autumn bring me? – The Ace of Cups
And that I exactly how I feel about Autumn! An abundance of feelings of happiness, gratitude and Love is flowing from this beautiful Cup. Autumn is indeed a gift from God(dess), a time to enjoy the bounty of the harvest.
3 How do I move forward until the wheel turns to my favorite season? – The Sun
O my Goodness! There he is: the Sun, blistering hot but with a smile on his face. “Come outside and play” he seems to call to me. The Sun stands for joy, happiness and a for zest for life. I could use some of that for sure. So I think I have to stand up, get rid of those swords in my back and walk towards the rising sun in the Ten of Swords. No more complaining today. I want to finish this blogpost and that will be the beginning of a joyful day because I choose it to be so.

  1. Autumn is my favorite season too. I laughed when I saw the 10 of swords below. I knew what it represented before I even read the questions you asked the cards. ha ha ha.

  2. Ah the RWS ten of swords. The most dreaded of cards in any of my decks, at least for me. With that Sun and Ace of Cups it feels just like you said, you can get through these days with the promise of Autumn. In my area of world we also experienced a few days of respite from the blistering heat. Summer is not yet over. I do not wish it gone, the forecast is for a really prolonged, very cold and snowy winter. Enjoy your sunny day!

  3. Your post made me laugh in that I recognized myself in it. :) I was just telling a friend that just as people who get snow-bound and can't do much outside, we get heat-bound here in the same way. But if I look past my frustration, I will see how much I enjoy the abundant plant and animal life that comes with this season. It's not all bad!

    1. Nothing in life is all bad. It is often us who put our focus to the more negative aspects of a situation. So far my day has been a lot better than yesterday; so yes choosing joy really changes my perspective
