Two of Stones – Trust

Today’s card is the Two of Stones (Pentacles) from the Chrysalis Tarot. We see a bear considering if he is able to move to the next rock. The situation looks dangerous but the bear, just awake from his winter sleep, feels the need to search for food. The ice in the river is melting and spring is waiting just around the corner. We see the bear scouting the area, thinking: “Is it safe? Am I strong enough to make the leap? After being in hibernation that long we can assume he might be a bit uncertain and wobbly on his feet. It is crucial he remains firmly grounded and surefooted before he makes any attempt. And above all he has to trust himself. When you feel insecure you are likely to make mistakes or freeze and do nothing

So often we balance between opposing energies. Not knowing which way to go. Only after we've first turned inward to find our strength and confidence we can trust ourselves to make the right decision

Today I promise myself to breath before I jump!

Three Card Daily Draw with the Chrysalis Tarot

Since I’ve received the Chrysalis Tarot, I’ve been playing and reading with it constantly. I like the new perspectives these cards are giving me and how they are requiring the open mind I was writing about earlier this week. It is almost if I am  just starting out on my tarot journey. Of course this deck has the familiar Rider Waite foundation but there are so many different angles and viewpoints; it keeps surprising me.

For today I will do a daily three card spread with this fabulous deck. The positions are as follows:

1 The general energy of the day

2 The challenge of the day

3 The gift of today

1 The general energy of the day – Eight of Scrolls

This card is all about letting go of preconceived notions and self-limiting thoughts. See how pieces of the scrolls are flying over her head. When you reach deep within, you will intuitively know how to break free from these repeating inner tapes (scrolls) and how to change your perspective into a more positive outcome

2 The challenge of the day – Eight of Spirals

Run, don’t hesitate, you know the right way to go. There is a lot of movement and change going on but everything will be alright. You will survive this meteor storm and find your way out but it will be a hectic challenge

3 The gift of today – Two of Stones

This is the grounded attitude I will need for today. When everything is changing(the ice is melting, spring is coming) it is good to be careful and look out before you make your next move. Make sure your are safe and secure. With three paws on the ground and one in the air nothing can push you over

The gift is somewhat contra dictionary to the challenge but  to me it looks like you have to find a place of stability inside yourself;  of feeling strong and confident, before you can face the challenge of the Eight of Spirals . By the way it did you notice the bear (again) J
