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."

Pivotal Moments

From the Sacred India Tarot, the Star; from the Land Sky Oracle, Shaucha:

There are certain pivotal moments in life when clarity replaces its opposite in the blink of an eye.
― Sol Luckman

Ushas is the goddess of dawn in the Vedas, revered as the bringer of light and new beginnings. Associated with cosmic order and moral harmony, she symbolizes the transition from darkness to light, and the awakening of the world. There are times we sprint hard and fast, holding our ideas and ambitions so tightly, we're only aware of them and not what is real. Others may try to warn us about the cliff we are heading for, but being blinded by our objectives, we don't heed their word until we are falling. The Star is our point of awakening, when we can at last see our obsession and arrogance for what it is. Clarity comes in that moment when we can become grounded and regain our common sense. Shaucha literally means purity, cleanliness, and clearness of mind, speech and body as well as our personal environment. It is not enough to understand; we must commit to the task of cleaning up our inner self as well as any mess we've made.
