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."

Eager vs. Angry Energy

From the Wheel of Change Tarot, the Princess (Page) of Wands; from the Oracle of the Dreamtime, Frill-necked Lizard:


This young lass has a lust for life, filled with raw energy and passion. She might channel it into creative expression, social activism or exploration. Rather than learning by sitting still (that fence behind her is unlikely to hold her), this Page/Princess is educated through interaction with what and who she finds around her. The story of Frilled-neck Lizard tells of a time when there was a drought, too many animals, and not enough food or water. All the animals argued about what to do while ignoring the words of the lizard who was a rainmaker. In his anger, he climbed a tall mountain and sent powerful magic to the skies, resulting in floods and storms that killed nearly all life. Both these cards deal with energy, the kind that can be used either in positive or negative ways. 

If we react to a situation in an angry way instead of with patience, there is no benefit, and worse, negative energy is created, which is likely to exacerbate an already volatile situation. Further, when intense anger arises, it impedes our ability to use sound judgment and envision the consequences of our actions. —Allan Lokos
