Tarot - On the cards

It is all about activating the subconscious to ensure that it receives the correct messages and vibrations to enable the manifestation. If you think with your conscious mind it will find many reasons for things not working. It will question, argue and tell you that some things are just not possible. But life and history have proved that this is not so. If that were the case, we wouldn’t be living in a world where so many advances have been made.

September 15 - 21. This week let’s try some more SWs which can be used for the purposes listed. Chant with faith and belief and you will be surprised by the results.

Looks like it is a pretty awesome week for those born under the sign of Aries. Especially for women who will see themselves as powerful, in command and enjoying the best of what life can offer. The main elements of a fulfilled life — family, friends, money and good health should cover the goals of many. And this week will see all this coming in sync with your desires. The Nine of Pentacles and Queen of Swords bring all these elements together to ensure that things are in order. However, there needs to be a clear-cut goal about what constitutes a good living for each one. What’s good for one need not be for another. So clarity, preparedness and sound head over shoulders will enable all of the above to fuse well. For male subjects, this week will be dominated by female energies.

Overthinking and frustration are likely this week with Taureans trying to rise above the situation. The Nine of Swords and Two of Swords show how much you are thinking and stressing out. It is not as if you don’t know what to do but how to do it. Life is presenting all its challenges at the same time and no doubt it is a difficult time. However, there are always silver linings and eventually, you will find them. There will also be situations where you will not be able to make decisions easily as the mind will jump around like a monkey and fogging up the clarity you need. The Two of Swords also shows suppressed emotions that will come up for you to process and assimilate. The calmer you are the better it is to see things clearly and take the needed action. This is a temporary phase. It will pass.

Young Geminis will be in action mode this week. They will be raring to go and conquer the world with everything in their stride. The Page of Wands indicates great ambitions and fire while the Page of Swords shows that this will be channeled with clarity and precision which makes results. If it is to do with work then you can be sure you will achieve what you set out to do and if it is to do with personal life you will get the right kind of attention from friends and family. It could also indicate a time to think about settling down with the right person and this will lay the foundation for a good life ahead. However, when earth and air combine there could be a heaviness that you will experience physically. Take time off to do some workouts.

A week filled with family time and some celebrations. Look forward to gatherings which bring friends and family together. It could be a wedding or a grand birthday and a lot of good fun. The Ten of Cups shows all of this and it is time to put aside other things to concentrate on bonding time with loved ones in your life. So this has to emphasised because there could be a tendency to neglect and take for granted what you think will stay with you forever. Life is short and at the end of it, all you want to remember is the people you love and not the company you run or its profit or losses. The Five of Pentacles indicates that you could be focusing on things not that important in the larger picture. Count your blessings and enjoy them while they last.

It would do well to remember that commitments are serious business. Especially, when it comes to marriage or partnerships. You might feel claustrophobic and stifled, but these are things you cannot go back on easily. The Two of Wands will present situations where you will be beckoned to untangle yourself from present ties and give you glimpses of freedom and liberation. And there will be a tendency to get tempted to go down that path. Think carefully because nothing comes without consequences. This could apply to partnerships at work or work-related things. What you do to someone can happen to you too. The Devil is the reminder of this. He watches you while keeping the purity of fire burning.

Two major preoccupations this week — money and offsprings. The Knight of Swords shows that you will involve yourself with the goings on in youngsters’ lives- could be children, young coworkers or students of some kind. And that is somewhat linked to the earning capacity of those involved and of what you do with your own scope of financial accumulation and spending. The Two of Pentacles displays the concentration on how to go about distributing money or finance related issues. There will be some ups and downs and a fear of overspending at a time when the flow is slow. Take time to think which anyway you are doing and strategise as also help the young people in your life. Don’t have to get into a battle mode but be aware of the pitfalls and careless spending.

In search of love, you are disappointed and feeling like slinking off to some corner where you don’t have to have human contact. The Seven of Cups brings about this illusion of attachment which in the highest sense means that it is very temporary because it is your innate nature to be happy and spread happiness. So cast aside the gloom and move on with the great life you have been blessed with. The Knight of Pentacles indicates that many riches are waiting for you to be discovered — work, love, travel and in fact, everything that you truly want. But the current situation is making you feel that none of that will come or matter because of the dark cloud of gloom you are engulfed in right now. Lookout, and the sun is indeed shining.

Feeling crushed or burdened? This week will make you feel a lot of this because you are on the cusp of a big change coming about. The Ten of Wands combines a lot of fire and workload bringing you to your knees and making you feel tired and out of depth. Meanwhile the card, Death appears to show that change will come, and our circumstances will be different. And when this happens it will feel like you are being put through a ringer because you need to adapt to it all. That can be tough. Out of all this chaos, will emerge a lot of good things that will be for your highest good and you will see that these are the things you were looking for in the first place.

Whatever you are looking for, do so keeping reality in mind. Don’t have unrealistic expectations of life and people because what is in your head is not out there. If looking for the perfect love, you should know that such a thing does not exist. Love is there, but perfection is a construct of a rational mind and those things do not come into play in life. Make your plans as indicated by the Four of Swords — it is easy to draw up a list. What is not easy is that the plan and life should coincide. Look around and have a realistic view of everything that you wish for and you will be happy when they come in the right doses. Making something work is what is in your hands. Adjust and compromise and remain happy.

This week is good for relationships. Do what you have to, to ensure that you value what you have and assess what and who gives you joy and happiness. Don’t waste time on those who drain you and are negative around you, because that will bring discordant notes when there is no need. The Judgement card asks you to express gratitude for the good people in your life and ensure that they know how much they are valued. The Lovers card comes for those who are in deep relationships and it is a good time to renew vows made in order to ensure that these become better and long-lasting. It could also mean new ones coming up making life richer and worthwhile.

You could be chaffing under the pressures of male energies — father, brother, friend, the list is long. This could be something you are feeling more in the head than in reality. It could be that these people are looking out for you. But you will see it as unnecessary interference in what you are doing. The Eight of Swords puts you in an invisible cage where you imagine all sorts of cramping and restricting. The Emperor is the other card, that will make you feel that you don’t have the freedom to act or do things the way you want. There could be a leader or someone who would want things to be done in one way and that is what you will feel are like orders. You will bristle and feel hostile. It is totally in the mind. Go with the flow and get the job done.

This week is likely to be difficult. So hopefully people around you are patient and caring. You will need the understanding of those close to you as you will go through some lows, making you a bit anti-social and crabby. The Five of Cups shows that you will feel isolated and not wanting anything to do with the world. It is something you will feel in the midst of people and those you know. This feeling will pass so there is no need to stress about that. The Ten of Swords that also appears, is what will make your situation feel more intense. Frustration and feeling pinned down could add to your sense of isolation causing dense emotions get the better of you. This is where the patience and understanding of family and friends will come handy.
