Happy Tuesday, everyone. If you celebrated the Labor Day holiday, I hope you enjoyed the break! I certainly did.
Do you need to manifest a miracle in your life? This short meditation helps with that process.
The cards for the month of September have both a light and heavy feel to them.
I will start with the light. The Ace of Pentacles is, as with all of the aces in the deck, representative of something new. It truly represents a prosperous new beginning, an opportunity or gift from the Universe. It may indicate you are taking the first steps toward increasing prosperity. This card sits in the ‘What you need to know’ position. The message is that you have what it takes to increase your prosperity or fill your cups of abundance. The ball is in your court. As always it’s up to us to take inspired action.
I always cringe when I see The Tower card. Somehow, for this month, it immediately made me think of the 9-11 attack and the towers that fell. It sits in the ‘New Perspective’ position and serves as a reminder that what is breaking down is making room for something new and better. A sudden change can often make us feel as if everything around us is crumbling, but it’s a time to hold steadfast to our faith (whatever that may look like for each of us) and trust that we are taken care of. There is a new day dawning, and the new structures will support your growth and expansion.
What a beautiful card to fall into the ‘Action to take’ position. The Knight of Cups is a wonderful action card. The wings on his helmet and feet show his connection to the element of air(see the dragon card below). This Knight encourages us to take a look at the motivation behind our actions. Are we doing something purely for recognition and attention? It’s easy to get swept up into our emotions and idealize a person or situation. So, the admonishment here is to take it slow and let your deeper emotions and instincts guide you. Slowing down will allow you to see a person or situation more clearly and recognize how they fit into your life plan.
MY TAKEAWAY:
Be open to new opportunities that may come your way out of the blue, and know that the action you take will bring prosperous results. To me, the Tower card in the major arcana represents a much larger picture than just our day-to-day lives. No, I don’t think each of us is going to suffer some disaster this month. I do think it represents the worldwide turmoil we see all around us and the breaking down of systems, beliefs, and old ways of thinking in general. The good news is that there is a new day dawning and new structures arising that are more aligned with the goodness of our beautiful planet and all who inhabit it. The Knight of Cups brings emotions to the forefront and challenges us to look at the reasons we do certain things. If we always come from a place of love within, our outward actions will reflect that. Sorry. That’s a long takeaway, but this is a powerful group of cards.
Your thoughts?
This gorgeous little dragon is one that hasn’t popped up before. I love and embrace the message, and doesn’t it make a beautiful wrap-up to the tarot reading?
Also, a reminder that I am actively doing tarot readings for the public and have a few spots open this week. If you, or anyone you know, needs a little clarity, guidance, or advice, remember the cards never lie. JanTarot

Interesting cards Jan. Those same 3 came up in two readings this week. A change is comin’. 🙂
I like the quote from Tolle.
Hi Jan, this certainly is an interesting reading. I’m glad to know you had a good long weekend ??
Thanks, Robbie! Yes, it was so good to have some downtime for catching up!
I think your takeaway speaks volumes, Jan. You definitely struck a nerve with that one.
And I always love the dragon cards. This one is gorgeous!
I’m glad you enjoyed the post, Mae. And I agree about the little blue dragon. Thank you for stopping by!
Wonderful reading, Jan. With all four of my kids in the NYC area, 9/11 carries an extra weight for me. Tolle’s advice is a great reminder to accept as if we had chosen it. It’s not easy to do, but when successful, it can transform our day. ?
No doubt it does, Gwen. 9-11 is something we need never to forget. I’m glad you enjoyed Tolle’s quote today. I think it serves as a good reminder. Thank you for stopping by. Hugs!
I recently read a book where one of the characters used tarot cards. I was familiar with several of them all because of you, Jan! Love that dragon.
Awesomesauce! That makes me happy, Teri. And I loved the little blue dragon, too. Thanks for stopping by!
I love the combination of the cards, sometimes you need to find a new perspective (that often goes along with circumstances falling apart) to only see your potential and go for it with all your heart. Wonderful reading!
So true, Erika. Oftentimes, we are so stuck in our “stuff” we can’t see that it needs to fall apart so we can move on to something better. Thank you for stopping by. I’m so glad you enjoyed the reading. Hugs!
Love the dragon card, Jan. So many things are changing in our culture. As we approach the 9/11 anniversary, it saddens me to think how we’ve become so divided. In the days that followed the terrorist attacks, we were united as a nation.
That is so true, Joan. For a little while, following 9-11, it seemed we were a united front, but no longer. I’m glad you enjoyed the little dragon. I hope you have some good days ahead. Thank you for stopping by!
I’m with you, I never like to see the tower card. Big changes seem to follow, but growth too. I love this dragon card and seeing it from above or as it is. I felt a connection to this reading as I make, or try, those needed changes whether I like it or not!
Thank you for your comment, Denise. I agree about the tower card, but sometimes we need a shake-up to make way for something better. I’m glad you felt a connection to the reading. I wish you good days and progress ahead!
In this unsettled world, your interpretation of the cards is perfect. The moment needs to be honored.
Unsettled world is absolutely correct, John. Sometimes, I wonder if it’s always been this way and we just have more access to things as they happen, or if things have indeed escalated. I think they’ve escalated to humongous proportions. I’m happy you stopped by, and I wish you a great week and month ahead!
Thank you, Jan. I wish you the same.
Many in my family would say my summer was fraught with heaviness and health battles. Yet I found illumination during this time and now these cards only solidify what and where I’m heading. One moment, one day at a time. What a wonderful, positive message for me, in my humble opinion. Thank you, Jan. Have a lovely, inspiring week. xo
I am so happy to hear that, Mary. I know you’ve had to deal with some health battles, as have I, but I agree that I found some illumination during that period. Isn’t that what life is all about, though? Growth, expansion, awakening? I love your comment so much and love that you are headed in a positive direction. I will continue to hold space for you and pray that you find the strength to face whatever you need to face. Have a great week. Hugs!
This moment is all we have and all we’re guaranteed. Great message today, Jan! xo
That is so true, Jill. And it’s refreshing to remember that. Thank you for stopping by!
What a great way to begin September, Jan. I enjoyed reading your interpretation of the tarot cards: open to opportunities and come from a place of love…super things to keep in mind. Have a great week. <3
Thanks for stopping by, Carol. I’m glad you enjoyed the card reading. I definitely think if we are always coming from a place of love, the opportunities will be there. Have a great week and month ahead!
I great message today, and I love the dragon card and the quote at the beginning from Tolle.
So glad you stopped by, Jeanne, and glad you enjoyed the message. Have a great week.
Interesting draw. Hope it foretells good things.
I think the draw is telling us that it is up to us. It’s always about choice. Thanks for visiting, and hope you have a good week and month ahead.
“Open to the moment.” That’s powerful advice, Jan. I hope you have a great week.
I think we often spend so much time pondering the past or future we often miss the moment. So glad you enjoyed today’s post. Thanks for visiting.
