This week I'll be using the Sun and Moon Tarot, created by Vanessa Decort and published through U.S. Games. Paired with it is the mini Jade Oracle, created by Ramona Teo (illustrator),Veronica Iglesias and Anne Key; it was published through Goddess Ink. Today's draws are the Eight of Cups and Xiuhcoatl:
Anyone who's ever had a garden hose with a hole in it can understand an energy leak. The slit diminishes the water pressure, causing it to just dribble out of the nozzle. In human terms, such a leak creates a weary lethargy that can easily lead to a life of stagnation. In such cases, it is imperative not to think of ourselves as a victim, which could lead to the delusion that we are powerless to act. Our leak often occurs because the choices we want aren't on the table, and we conclude we have none. But this is not true - there are other choices (just not our preferred ones). Xiuhcoatl, the Turquoise Serpent, represents a lightning bolt, something to wake us up and help us crawl out of our box of gloom. We don't have to believe our thoughts, the nasty comments of others, or the media. It's time to move away, toward ideas, actions or people who will help us find the sun again.
Hold your face up to the light, even though for the moment you do not see.

I've come to the conclusion my biggest energy leak over the years has been mental arguments with fantasy outcomes. What a big fat life waster.
ReplyDeleteMe too. But I'm coming to see that fantasy never makes reality any better in the long run.
