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."

Seeing Beyond

From the Hoi Polloi Tarot, the Nine of Swords; from the I Ching Pack, Water over Earth (hexagram 8):
 Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but never gets you anywhere.
— Erma Bombeck

          Worry and anxiety can make us feel like we are using our energy to find a solution, but really all we are doing is focusing on the problem. We have no traction, spinning in the same spot. The problem is that we can be so used to living life a certain way that we can't imagine what it will look like any other way. Water over Earth (hexagram 8) suggests mutual help and united action. We may need the perspective of others to see beyond our dark clouds to the blue sky that lies beyond them.
