Mirror Dragon Free Weekly Tarot Reading #37

With two of the three cards this week from the Major Arcana it looks like the energy will be focused on giving us a chance to look at the bigger life lessons we can grasp in the challenges and interactions we face right now. As a tool to use for balance, taking brief moments of quiet meditation can be a great help especially when emotions run high and a quick escape isn’t an option. At times when pressure gets too heavy or interactions get too intense, try to work in a moment to take three to five deep breaths focusing on the breath itself, in through the nose and slowly out through the mouth. (With a mask, please, if you’re dealing with an unknown situation.) The added oxygen will help your brain work more efficiently and the extra moment, small as it is, can really pull energy back to center giving you and whoever you’re dealing with a chance to realign with the crux of the matter.

The Center card this week is The Moon.

With the Moon we find all things hidden, all things unseen. This card urges us to look intently into the emotional depths of who we are and acknowledge our baser, more primal emotional instincts. In doing so we’re able to look at all creatures (humans especially) great and small, wild and free, purely emotional, intricately cerebral or cloaked in domesticity as integral aspects of the Universal macrocosm we’re all part of. We interact with our anima and the primal passions that live there. With the inner press to connect with and experience our deeper passions and emotions, the tendency to respond to those around us with a larger than normal amount of emotional “flare” is strong. Emotions are right there at the surface and given that the emotions of those other folks are larger than normal too, all things combined can make for pretty powerful exchanges. This is not to say that those interactions will necessarily be angry or infuriating or violent, as we’ve all seen so much of recently. Not at all. They can also be bright and brilliant with ideas and understanding flashing in new and unexpected ways bringing a strong, creative flow to work projects and learning endeavors. They can also be full of deeper compassion and love leading to new depths in primary relationships or new love relationships.

The West card is the Hierophant. (High Priest)

As we revel in our primordial passions another aspect of self emerges to be recognized and heard. Our sense of connection to the Divine and how we incorporate that into our lives is also at the forefront this week. So we look to find ways to integrate our anima and elemental passions with our sense of moral responsibility. That’s not too much to ask is it? (Eeek) There is a saying that’s made the rounds for the past few years, “We’re not humans having a spiritual experience, we’re spiritual beings having a human experience.” The hierophant in all of us seeks to be Human but also to be human in such a way that we keep our sense of what’s best for All. Morals and compassion that seek expression even in our most passionate and seemingly baser interactions. We are humans after all.

The East card is the Queen of Cups.

We recognize that emotions are important, they’re necessary, and acceptance of the emotional beings that we are is paramount to a happy, well adjusted life. We’re in luck with this queen, she is wise. She’s spent a lifetime cultivating her emotional self and is able to allow the emotions required in a particular situation to be acknowledged and held while at the same time, not letting those emotions take over and block out the wisdom of their necessary lesson, not to mention all the other mental clarity that emotions can override. In her vast experience she can keep her head while also truly feeling the emotions triggered. The Queen of Cups is the watery part of water, she’s the most intuitive and empathic card in the deck. So, along with the wisdom to experience and use the emotions we’re feeling, we also have a deeper empathic connection to those we interact with this week. As an asset, we’re able to see beyond words to the deeper meaning behind them. The liability can be that since our empathy allows us to feel what others are feeling it can be difficult to differentiate between their emotions and our own. If that does become the case and the feelings you feel don’t seem to fit, use that short breathing exercise I mentioned above to regain your balance.

In conclusion;

This week we feel ALL the feels. While passions are high our sense of connection to the Divine is clear and the ability to let those feelings have their head and express things that need expressing is life affirming. We’re in a unique position right now. We feel confident that our deeper emotional connections and expressions are just what’s needed and we’re able to see the wisdom of employing them in their broader and more powerful sense. Yes, emotions are flying but they’re also giving a strong voice to things we have to say. Be they about love, justice, personal expression, frustration or compassion our emotions give our communications a great push at this time.

Have an ardent week.

Light, Tory
