Tryst with tarot, after a decade
Ain't A Tarot Deck Just A Bunch Of Compellingly Colourful Images On Cards?
Yes, it is! That fascinating deck, we feel so drawn towards, while watching an oracle reader shuffling it, in some quaint corner of some quaint place, is nothing but pretty designs printed on seventy-eight pieces of springy cardstock.
The magic happens when we begin to interact with the deck. Tarot cards provide us with a tangible way to connect to our power, the power of our subconscious mind, our intuition. Call it by any name- intuition, instinct, hunch or gut feeling; it's just our inner voice, the feeling we get when we meet our best friend for the first time and think, “she's the one”. Essentially, it’s a sense of “knowing” something without any kind of concrete evidence. We just know it!
And we all are born with it—the intuition. Learning to connect with it, can enrich our lives in wonderful ways.
Tarot is my favorite way to connect with my intuitive self because I find it to be the simplest. Like a ‘spiritual guidebook', it taps into our psyche and tells us the story, to understand ourselves not through words but in a profound way through beautiful images and symbols. It gives us a map to our souls and our inner beings that then guides us on a day-to-day basis.
It's been over a decade now, since I last met my decks so today, I just fixed a date with one of them, gave it the long overdue TLC and attuned myself to it's energies, just like old times! Any doubts that the untimely hail storm, (pouring like all hell had broken loose) could have filled my mind with, were wiped clean and clear by a mail, I received out of nowhere, in my inbox exactly at 5:43 pm. It said-
It’s a special day when Jupiter stations to a standstill to change direction. That’s because a planet at a pivot point has the greatest impact on us. And when that planet is Jupiter, bringer of Joy, Abundance, Expansion, we are especially blessed! And right now Jupiter is stationing retrograde at 27° Capricorn. This is a highly significant degree number. 27° Capricorn reduces to the root number 9. 9 is the number of culminations, release, celebration, letting go and Unconditional Love. Allow your creative impulses to go to work for you (Saturn). Get actively engaged in manifesting what INSPIRES you, what MOVES you – because when you do, the joyful seeds you plant NOW will EXPAND your life with JOYFUL OUTCOMES (Jupiter).
Usually, such mails automatically go in spam and never come to my notice but like it's said, everything happens for a reason and this mail popping up at 5:43 (which totals up to 12 or single digit number 3, number of Jupiter), is definitely an indication from the universe.
Time to shift my perspective and firmly catch all the good tidings, LOCKDOWN is throwing my way.💕
