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."

Consume or Complement

From the PetraK Tarot, the Lovers; from the Astrodice, Pluto/Aquarius/11th House:

         Rather than a relationship where one partner consumes another, Petra makes the suggestion of finding a person that complements us, one who balances out our liabilities with assets. This consume/complement relationship could also apply to groups, where everyone has to rigidly abide by the rules or where everyone brings their individual talents to the table. It's not hard to guess which relationship is the healthiest. The Astrodice roll combines the razing/regenerating qualities of Pluto with the rebellious independence of Aquarius in the House of humanitarianism. Sometimes we must rebuild from the ashes to realize what is at the root of our problems. Pain breaks through our denial and allows us to change. Climbing out of the prison we put ourselves in, we discover something more beneficial. That is when transformation begins.

    1. If we could find what's at the root of our pain, we likely wouldn't work so hard at causing other people pain.

  2. I finally gave up looking for mister wonderful, I kept repeating the same disastrous choice. The fault was within me. I couldn't fix them to fix me, so now I am happy working at being the best version of myself.
