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."

Moving through Change

From the Cosmic Tarot, the Queen of Pentacles; from the L'Oeil de Lotus, "Moving:"
          The Queen of Pentacles is as practical and resourceful as her husband, but she has a nurturing role instead of a leadership role. Unlike her sister in the Cups suit, she shows her caring side in down-to-earth ways. She might bake a pie for someone who's got the blues, bring over the 'Help Wanted' ads for someone looking for a job (and type up a resume while she's there), or help a friend put together a barbecue grill that seems to have one hundred parts. This queen always leaves behind a physical memento.
          The Moving card suggests two possibilities: the chaos of change before adjustment or the clearing out of the past to make way for the new. Now any kind of transition that brings disorder is likely to drive the Queen nuts; she likes to be organized. Her strategy to stay sane will be to try to maintain some semblance of normalcy, some link to the usual day-to-day routine. I can almost hear her telling the King now, "Yes dear, we will have our dinner together, even if we have to sit among the boxes and eat Chinese take-out from cartons."
