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."

Creeping Toward Culmination

From the Sheridan-Douglas Tarot, the World; from the Pages of Shustah deck, "Pisces:"
I was mulling over a situation I have been dealing with for several years now (and feeling quite hopeless about it), when I drew the World card this morning. The young woman in the image dances through the wreath twirling two fiery batons. Though I might not do it naked, if this circumstance were to ever get resolved, I imagine I'd be dancing and twirling too. Yet this tarot card suggests that things will come full circle and find closure. As the phrase goes, "sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly."
The Shustah deck draw produced an astrological sign known for its sensitivity, imagination, intuition and compassion. Though I feel I may have some of these characteristics of Pisces, I am very different in that I love structure, itineraries and deadlines. The sign of Pisces on the other hand is very flexible and relaxed about such things - a very "go with the flow" attitude. To find my way through that opening, it may be that I need to burn my list of goals and expectations and develop an attitude of receptivity and openness.

    One of the quotations I read this morning about motion was from Walt Disney.
    Fish do a natural hootchy cootchy. You Are being advised to dance!

    Having quite a visual here! lol
    Going with the flow and letting go of control is usually a very helpful but mostly such a difficult attitude. Maybe if we were more like the Queen of Cups instead of the Queen of Swords

    Bev nothing is hopeless, as long as we have hope. Do I sound like Pollyanna? Don't give up! Just when you lest expect it there will be resolution, maybe! Sometimes the resolution is no resolution, and then accepting that.

    Being a Gemini with my Moon in Pisces so I'm a go with the flow kinda gal. But oh patience! I used to want everything yesterday. I go little by slowly now. Works out a lot better.
