Interpretation

Quoted Interpretations from Eileen Conolly’s Tarot (the first handbook for the Master), Rachel Pollack’s Tarot Wisdom and Book of Thoth by Aleister Crowley Any misquotes or misinterpretations are mine and should not be blamed on the authors


1) Past – IX of Pentacles
“According to some you have all you need. Past Life Memory Is Silent, Yet you know there has to be more”

“You are doing quite well. No need to confide Eventually silent karma will be a reality”

“Do not isolate yourself. Look at possible new interests. A significant meeting within 3 weeks. Follow through. May lead you to a new exuberance.”
“A substantial offer made. If accepted will change your life style. Expect letter / phone call that will cause some excitement”

“possibility to create good life for yourself.”

Nice card to get, tho in the past position…? Hopefully it doesn’t mean these opportunities are past…it could be that the set up for them is in the past. …

2) Future-Death (Rev)
Death (rev) can mean the “holding back of death” “It does not promise a recovery just that life continues'”

:unresolved but continuing”

Hmm with satisfaction in the past and justice being the attachment…What does this mean new opportunities not coming yet life continuing?
It is because of my actions, Tho life itself has been pretty great lately…Or perhaps it is saying that things have already changed and I am not letting the past go. … Certain things that I have enjoyed doing no longer appeal to me yet I still get tempted to do them, fall into old patterns…when really everything I’ve been going for lately is quite different…

3)Present attachment-Justice

Justice in this case is all about honesty–Being able / finding it necessary to look at myself and what appears to be going on around me with as much honesty as I can muster even if it means stepping back a few steps.
So putting what the cards are telling me so far… My obsession with self-honesty will cause an opportunity that comes to go by tho it should be taken as it appears the status quo is not working for me. (I keep hearing Neil Patrick Harris as Dr Horrible saying “…because the status is not quo…”

4) Core Truth – III of Pent (rev)

“Complete Study, Research or Aquire Information needed before pursuing your Goal. It is important that you be informed to succeed”

“have patience. Your time will come. Trying to rush things. It doesn’t work that way”

“Wait until you see signs of improvement all around. Impatient approach will show in your attitude. Slow down. Talk is not enough. Someone would like to see”

“Too much too soon. You are being hard on yourself

“Mediocre work, dissatisfaction. Failure to recognize the beauty in everyday life.”

I’ve been jumping for wisdom and enlightenment lately as if it were the brass ring on those old merry-go-rounds from my youth. Well, the way I have tended to jump at most things in my life and then burn out. So much has come to me ; has manifested; i need to let things go more; take things as they come and patiently await with acceptance whatever comes my way. ”

5) What is surrendered? III of Cups (rev)

“Undercurrents, changes. It would be foolish to continue. Unwise to Re-Hash. Situation calls for complete new plan. Don’t react personally”

“Avoid showing reluctance in regard to accepting advice. Prompt action can alleviate obvious pressures”

“The secret is to sever the connection. Need new contact. 21 days begin new financial opportunity. Clear the way. Do not repeat past mistakes. Take a new bold direction. Contact with good friend can give the impetus you need” “Plans for a group activity may fall through” Problems between friends”

Among other things this could be referring to our Oregon trip in August. There seems to be problems arising with our friends whom we are going with. Tho again 21 days, shows up in this reading. Something seems to be heading my way. Tho this need to stay objective, not take things seriously. Coming to the end of a financial cycle. Friends influencing it. This whole reading seems to be about change in the air, and how able i can be to deal with it and go with it at the right time (three weeks)

6) Comfort and Calm-IV of Pentacles (Rev)

“Too many things happening at same time. Busy mind and fraught with problems. Stop Everything. Rest one whole day. Organize start fresh”

“Organize and put on paper what is in your head. You have the right idea but you must relate it to others.”

“Whos Who? Establish this. What’s What? Organize this. Watch the budget! Possibly anxiety regarding money. Still about to step in and solve problems”

“Delays indicated Pressures rising. Action needed now”
Again so much about timing. This seems to say even when action is needed if I am not ready, take the time off to step back and look at it objectively. When I act with confidence , and not out of panic things feel more comfortable for me. I act with more confidence.

7)What is Given? Knight of Pentacles (rev)
“Inertia is one possibility or allowing others to take advantage of you.”

“more change or finding other interests”

OK, let’s go with a meaning I would typically use for Knight of Pent (r)–if right-side up the card refers to the energy of moving concretely one thought at a time…then reversed it could refer to my tendency to be pulled into different directions at once (ie spiritual but then some other interests grab me). Especially with what some of the other cards seem to be saying about the importance of focus.

8) What is received? III of Swords (rev)
“You should make the first move especially if you want to remain in the picture. No rash decisions at this time”

“It is so important that you understand. Someone needs this from you”

“A slip of the tongue can be a lash of truth. Someone is sorry someone hurts. Feel remorse? Repair it. Caused Pain? Heal it. A git of the beautiful amethyst will help to create peace and forgiveness”

“This cycle of experience is now ending. Refer to spread”
This card also refers to being in denial and pushing away grief. it can also refer to getting on with life after a time of mourning
So get right with anyone i need to get right with and move on. Or stay where i am for the new cycle. Tho once more another card referring to the ending of a cycle. This next three weeks may be very interesting indeed

9) What is revealed, understood, learned? Page of Cups
“Within … peacefulness burns a radiant love of the world and all of its history. “

Catalyst for other people’s strength and creativity

“signifies art, especially poetry and the power of prophecy”

So all of the above cycling ends with a new creative cycle where i inspire other people also? Coolness!!! Can’t wait to see what happens next
