Where the Heart Is

This week I'll be using the Fey Tarot, created by Riccardo Minetti and Mara Aghem and published by Lo Scarabeo. This morning's draw is the "Chariot:"

To accomplish a purpose or reach a goal, we need two things: movement and direction. I can dream a thousand dreams, but unless I do something (move), I'll be no closer to my objective. I can also get moving but have so many distractions that I move in circles or chaotically and make no progress. The little frog-like fey has a whip to keep the mouse and lizard in motion, but no reins. However the lady fey sits in a trance state, with her focus solely on the place she expects to arrive. Her senses, emotions and unhelpful thoughts are all in submission to her directive. Her will gives boundaries and structure, so the effort made is not in vain. She pointedly asks me, "What do you need to put in motion? What is moving that needs the framework of self-discipline?"

The oracle deck I'll be using this week is the I Misteri della Sibilla (The Mysteries of the Sibyl), created by E. Maiotti and published by Dal Negro. Today's card is "Money / Six of Hearts:"

A man sits deep in thought at a table covered in gold coins. If not for the suit of hearts, I might think this card was only about financial matters. But it refers to what is meaningful and important to me in the physical world. A doctor may tell me I need to take better care of myself, or a relative might tell me to go back to school, but if my heart is not in it, I will surely fail. Before I hop on that Chariot and gallop off into the sunset, I need to make sure the effort is one I am not only willing to make but passionate about as well.
