I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Time for Delight

From the Hezicos Tarot, the Nine of Coins; from the Way of the Horse Oracle, 'Field of Dreams:'
          A fairy sits atop the fruits of her labor and spends time with her friends, a ladybug and butterfly. By the time the Nine rolls up in this suit, much has been learned about caring for our resources of money, time and health/energy. Some skills are worth acquiring:  balance, knowledge, altruism rather than accumulation, assistance rather than pride and ongoing assessment. But here this little fairy reminds us that we also need to learn another skill - how to take the time to enjoy and appreciate what we have. She knows that the Ten will soon arrive when all of her physical assets will pass on, so she will savor them while she can. The Field of Dreams card shows a horse running full tilt through a field of lavender. It represents following the heart's desire to find fulfillment. It's easy to get so completely caught up in the daily tasks of living that pursuing what inspires and energizes us gets left behind. Yet as Elizabeth Warren once stated, "People will tell you to plan things out as best you can. They will tell you to focus. They will tell you to follow your dreams. They will all be right."

  1. Plan? Really? I'm not supposed to ride out on my horse at top speed in 6 different directions? :)
