Free Weekly Reading Mirror Dragon Tarot

Looks like the feminine mystique dominates this week. All three cards for the reading are female court cards. Thought to ponder; What feminine aspects appear to be positive and which lead to discomfort? I naturally think of nurturing as a feminine characteristic and when employed with compassion, acceptance and understanding it’s a wonderful interaction between people. When it becomes driven by neediness, fear or greed, however, it can be as smothering and limiting as a very small padded cell with threads of guilt woven in. Desire/demand, emotions/manipulation, creativity/destruction, light creates shadow.

The Center card this week is the Princess of Swords.

I see the princesses of the Tarot as the innocents. The youngest and most vulnerable of the court cards, they’re like an open book, a clean slate with a strong desire to be filled with experience and knowledge. We’re looking at the suit of Swords here, so we’re dealing with the element of air; Thought processes, articulation, verbal and written communication, things dealt with by the left-side, cognitive, linear aspect of human thinking. I see this as representative of new thought patterns, new plans and new methods to implement them. We’ve certainly been put in a position to change up how we do things recently so it makes sense that we’re dealing with the need to figure out new methods. It looks like this week will have our minds running at high speed figuring out ways to do things that will be different, more effective and more efficient. One of the drawbacks with this high energy desire to find all the information on whatever plan is being pursued is the tendency to get all tangled up in the details. Try not to be too aggressive with the detail wrangling or you may find yourself stuck in a bog of indecision, not to mention setting yourself up for the dreaded “what ifs?!?”. Spending too much time focusing on what might go wrong is a trap that can be very hard to get out of.

The West card is the Queen of Wands.

In this queen we find the fire of creative passion. She is the impetus and the Will that drives our fact finding princess to seek the right equations and sequences to make things work. As this is the queen, she’s farther along on the path of her suit and therefore more experienced and stable. I’m glad to see her here in a supporting role for the eager princess. This queen has been through the “fire” of new experiences and has seen first hand what happens and what is needed to work with whatever comes up. She has learned how to use the unpredictable power that fire brings to anneal and strengthen what is being changed and to burn away the chaff of the unnecessary and/or unwanted. She brings her strength of Will, the wisdom of experience and the expansiveness of creativity to guide our brainy initiate.

The East card is the Queen of Pentacles.

Here we ground things into reality. Pentacles represent the Earth element, our resources, both physical and idealistic. As the high energy princess digs up all her facts and figures to begin giving the ideas she's come up with dimension and the possibility of implementation, this queen brings settled power and a good amount of sensible guidance to the small inner voice guiding us. It is her calm, no nonsense view that allows us to recognize just how the information we're gathering can become a reality. We can easily see it transformed from the planning stage to boots on the ground reality. She can also be a very calming influence during times of confusion and anxiety. I’m glad to see her in this spot. Her influence will help us to see the ways in which our plans can be made real and help keep our energy centered.

In conclusion;

This week our brains should be firing on all cylinders gathering up info and putting together plans. Sparked by the creative passion of the queen of Wands and mixed in with the tried and true facts we dig up will be some very valid ideas about using those facts in a new and different way. The energy of the week will likely be quite high so anxiety may be an issue. If fear or trepidation begin to try to pull apart plans in the works, Stop. Take a break to relax. Sit with a cup of coffee or tea, have a glass of water, turn on some music and try to let go of all the info flying around. Some rhythmic deep breathing would work as well. Settle and get in touch with your inner Queen of Pentacles. Feel her calm, solid, nurturing energy and allow the static to clear. This would be a good week to look at adding some sort of meditation to your daily routine. Whether it be full on, lotus position, ohm chanting deep meditation, breathwork exercises, walks in nature, yoga or soaking in a hot bath, find moments to let go of the outer world for a bit and reconnect with your own calm center.

Have a bold week.

Light, Tory
