Time Limit

From the PetraK Tarot, the Queen of Wands; from the Astrodice, 'Saturn/Libra/10th House:'

          Petra describes the Queen as holding a wand that represents passing on her knowledge to others. The figure she stands in reminds me of a coin-fed parking meter, like those that keep people from parking in a space for more than a couple of hours. There are many who teach, but few who teach with passion. Like everything else in the physical world, there is a time limit on these teachers who pass on their wisdom with joy and enthusiasm. The last online class I had with Pema Chodron was a stark reminder of the aging process. With the Astrodice roll, the restrictive but responsible Saturn meets the peace-loving Libra in the House of Career and Reputation. Together with the Queen, they seem to suggest that a personality conflict is not rational grounds for avoiding a teacher. Those with whom we find it hardest to get along often have the most to teach us.
