Look at this poor kitty behind his paper bars.
He is so pathetic. This is the Ten of Scrolls (swords) from the Chrysalis
Tarot. It looks like the tiger has been sitting there for a long time and has
forgotten all about his own inner strength. He is defeated and held captive by
his ongoing crippling thoughts. In the upper corner a butterfly it symbolizing his
option for change much like the sunrise in the Rider Waite version of this
card. The tiger is finally about to access his fiery passionate nature and to
break free at last. But then what?
I pulled the Ten of Spirals (Wands). Here we
see the overburdened centaur carrying his heavy load. He is standing at the
crossroads, not sure which way to go.
When you break free from a difficult situation, you are still much the same
person inclined to repeat the same cycle again.
The Centaur in the Ten of
Spirals is advising us to leave some of our past regrets and quilt etc. behind
at the crossroads and to choose the highroad. “Don’t play the blame game. Put
the past behind you and don’t look back”
This reminds me of my theme of this lunation: release. How freeing
it can be to leave excess weight behind. I wonder why this is so difficult.
Are we so defined by our sad stories. Are we afraid of writing new ones, being
unsure about the ending or perhaps afraid for our own greatness…
