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."

A Stimulating Life

This week I'll be using the Legacy of the Divine Tarot, created and self-published by Ciro Marchetti (now published by Llewellyn). I'll pair with it the Tea Leaf Reading Cards, created and self-published by Karin Dalton-Smith. Today's draws are the Nine of Coins and Ship:

In a lovely patio garden, complete with a reflecting pool, a woman lets a bird of paradise rest on her hand. Her gown and surroundings suggest affluence, and the bird represents a stimulating life rather than one of dullness. Yet her hairnet symbolizes a certain reserve and self-discipline - she did not get to this place of abundance without hard work and moderation. The reflecting pool implies that she also takes time for introspection and contemplation, otherwise arrogance and entitlement could be her undoing. The Ship in the Tea Leaf Cards signifies movement or commerce. In the world of business, the sea never stays calm but ebbs and flows with both losses and profits. This woman would likely follow the advice of Bertha Calloway: "We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails."
