Mars direct is a happy thing to see, after all this muddled, frustrated energy cropping up in inopportune places. Last night, I stayed up until three in the morning, listening to our first thunderstorm of Spring. This morning, our weather was in the fifties, and ninety percent of the snow has melted. The air feels fresher, cleaner, and ready for new growth.
Spring Twist – Body, Mind and Spirit
So, in honor of the first heralds of Spring, and because I’m no longer considering Winter as an option, I’m stepping up the traditional three card spread of Body, Mind and Spirit. Rather than just evaluate where I’m at in this moment, I will ask the cards “Where is there room for new growth in my body, my mind and my spirit?”
Although I’m loving my Bohemian Gothic, I’m switching out for a lighter, more Spring-like tarot deck for this spread. So here comes my Tarot of the Hidden Folk, up to the challenge!
1. Body – Queen of Swords: This lady is quick and discerning, making her decisions according to logic and reason. No plea bargaining here! I have a lot of poor health habits, and this Spring I can make a conscious effort to cut them out of my life. I can list the pros and cons, make daily goals and checklists, any mental practice to get in the right frame of mind and get healthy!
2. Mind – Temperance XIV: This card strays from traditional imagery, featuring a winged mermaid swimming with two water jugs, deep under the ocean. The message remains the same: combine two opposing elements to create a new, exciting third element. My mind tends to wander off into two directions. Either the mental chattering of worrisome thoughts, or the overemotional depths that threaten to wash me away. This Spring I have the potential to synthesize my mental state into a cohesive, goal oriented, driven whole!
3. Spirit – Death XII: The result of natural changes, Death shows the need for Winter before Spring. It encourages me to continue on my spiritual path, making the changes in my life that come naturally after study and contemplation. Old ways of thinking and living need to die off so that new seeds of spiritual insights can grow.
I am very excited to see what the upcoming weeks hold! This tarot reading reminds me to start fresh, cut out old deadwood, and allow myself to explore what life and living means to me.
