Happy Monday! I am happy to share a mind-blowing reading with you today. I am feeling like this reading is so big it has to be for the entire month of August. Since it’s my birthday month, I am embracing them! I LOVE this quote from Einstein!
I found this to be a really beautiful and effective meditation. I hope you will as well.
And now for the tarot cards.
I’m not quite sure I’ve ever drawn three Major Arcana cards in a three-card reading. This is powerful, folks! And Tuesday (8-8) is the peak of the Lion’s Gate Portal, an intensely powerful time for manifesting what you desire. If you aren’t familiar with the Lion’s Gate portal, click on the link.
For this reading, The Moon card falls in the ‘what you need to know’ position. It always indicates something hidden or not clear. The moon rises at night when everything is at its darkest. Is there something that is being hidden from you? Are you deceiving yourself through your own perceptions? The moon is an indication that it is a good time to do some shadow work, facing your dark, self-defeating, and negative traits and releasing them into the light. Your shadow self is not to be feared but rather to be embraced and integrated. Doing this allows healing and transformation on a deep level. You are being advised to pay attention to dreams, as that is a time when the hidden or subconscious can come through.
In the ‘new perspective’ position, The Hermit card indicates that it is a good opportunity to spend some quiet time reflecting in solitude. This connects directly with The Moon card in that it is in the alone time you can explore your inner self, which empowers you to connect deeply with your truth. There is a difference between being lonely or alone and taking some quiet time to connect to your own inner wisdom. Allow yourself as much time in solitude as you need to look within, perhaps through meditation or taking long walks to tap into your divine inner wisdom.
Guided by our intuition, The Chariot sits in the ‘action to take’ position and is the structure that protects us while taking inspired action. It indicates an important journey, whether actual physical traveling or moving toward the next level of your life goals. The Chariot asks you to have a clear intention, focus, and a plan for action. Building a solid foundation and creating structure are both necessary steps before you can make big decisions. If you’re not sure what to tackle right now, be still (as indicated by both the Moon and Hermit cards) and listen to your intuition to guide you toward the next actionable steps.
MY TAKEAWAY:
Wow! These cards are extremely powerful and indicate work on our deepest inner core. And, based on the positions they occupy in the reading, are even more potent. First, we must face what is hidden from us or what we are hiding from ourselves. Then through quiet reflection and meditation, we will know the next steps to take. I also think it’s significant enough to mention that August has two super moons (again, reflecting inner work). Looks like we all have some heavy-duty contemplation to do in the days ahead.
Thoughts?
The Angel card flows beautifully with the tarot reading. Clearing our chakras will help to open ourselves up to receiving streams of light and love from the universe. I love working with sacred geometry and bought a couple of pieces of jewelry in Ireland that carry some of these symbols.
