Day 9 of the 28 Day Tarot Journal
Today, I started by looking up a spread for the journal entry. As I did, I shuffled the cards, no real question or intent in my mind. But as I was shuffling, I had 3 cards practically leap from my hand and almost immediately followed by another. My intuition told me to lay the 3 together, as they were joined in their message, but the 4th card was to preside over them. It was to give the solution to the three beneath. This is also the first time I’ve ever had a reading where every card was reversed in orientation.
Position 1 held the Queen of Cups (R): She seems to be focusing on my emotional struggles. I’ve been feeling things that have caused me some concern: anger, fear... even hope (if you read my previous journal post, you might understand why). She seems to be telling me that I need to balance the back and forth between my heart and mind.
Position 2 is the Ace of Wands (R): I have new ideas and I’m trying to find ways to implement them, but I’m not quite to the point where they’re viable. I’m suffering frustration because I have high hopes, but I feel like I lack momentum. I need to step back and let things evolve naturally instead of pushing them forward.
Position 3: XX Judgement (R): There’s a message that something higher is trying to tell me, but I’m having a hard time hearing it. I have to put away my doubts and open myself to the call that’s coming, and move forward.
Position 4: Ace of Cups (R): As with much of my journey over the last 8 months, I need to focus on Loving and Trusting myself. I need to get in tune with my emotions (even the frightening ones), listen, acknowledge, and release them in a healthy manner. I am the master of my own destiny.
