Semele - Clarifier Please :)

The Chariot: First major drawn!!! Well this is a card that to me represents a win-lose situation...but don't worry you are or will be the winner. It is a card of strong control where you consciously gain control over the situation, unlike the strength card which is soft control or a win-win situation. While you are/will be victorious just bear in mind that this control can be lost in the blink of an eye. Strive for a balance in which both parties can win. This is easier said than done, but it is worth the effort.

I'm still tossing it around. Can you help me put this where it belongs please? :D

Sorry it has taken me so long. I am going to do this tonight I promise. I have to go give my brother a Reiki treatment first and then I will get on it!!!

Ok I got the Star...which is cool. To me this is basically a card of letting go and loving without questions or doubt. Sometimes it is the calm at the center of the storm. So if there is much chaos around you at this time, (couldn't be here in the community could it???!!! ) then you are/will be the calm center that holds it all together. It is a sign of hope and inspiration, which literally means a divine breath. You are in a position now to really hear what your guides are telling you and to go after what ever you want/need. Hope this makes a little more sense to you. If you want I could do a full spread for you next week after my hectic week-end of work.

Ok, that would be great! There's lots that this could apply to (I think!) and I think a full spread might help.

[Semele]

Allrighty then!! Once again I will ask you to remind me!!!

I promise it wont take me so long this time!!!

Probably be Tuesday before I am awake enough to make any sense at all.

[Dria El]

Alrighty then. I'll try to remind you Tuesday. :)

Ok I decided to try one of my newer learned spreads on you. It is The Elemental Tarot Spread...taken from a book titled Tarot Companion by Tracy Porter. I will explain each position as well as the card I drew for you for each.

Here is the basic layout:

1 2 3 4
5

Card 1: Fire: Indicates what business areas we are likely to be concerned with. Can also indicate psychic or creative endeavors. Also can indicate romantic relationships, relationships with children or upcoming holiday plans.

Four of Cups: To me this card says we spend too much time looking at what little we have that we often miss golden opportunities or gifts being offered. Not sure which of the possibilities this may relate to for you. Perhaps there is a relationship that you are feeling that you aren't quite getting out of it what you put in....I would say stop analysing everything and open your eyes to the possibilities being presented to you. Make any sense to you?

Card 2: Earth: Indicates our financial or material situation. Denotes our possessions, values, or selfesteem. Shows how we handle our duties, responsibilities, or career path.

Seven of Pentacles: This card tells me you have worked hard at accomplishing some task or goal. Now is the time your hard work will begin to pay off. Unfortunately it is a time of waiting. You have planted all the seeds and provided sunlight, water, food, energy...all that it needs to grow. Now you can only wait for the buds to come in. While this may be a difficult time of waiting know that you have provided the basis and done all you could to help it become a reality.

Card 3: Air: Indicates how we communicate with others. An indication of how we relate to friends, partners, or acquaintances. Also gives an indication of what we can expect from correspondences or legal concerns.

Ten of Swords: Not one of my favorite cards! Usually it indicates a great pain of betrayal....or rather a perception of these emotions. Meaning basically that perhaps you are going to react to something in a "poor me" way. I know this doesn't sound encouraging, but look at it this way....if it is regarding a certain person that you are dealing with or even a legal matter...now you are aware that things may not go smoothly or quite like you had hoped. Now you can use this knowledge to change or mold your reaction. Don't let all those swords hold you down. You can and will prevail.

Card 4: Water: Indicates our emotional state of being and what areas are most likely to evoke an emotional response. Water depicts our home life and those areas which need refinement.

Eight of Pentacles:I sense that you focus intently on any task you set out to accomplish. Learning all you can because you love the work itself. You are always very willing to help whenever you can. One word of advice...don't get so focused on the task that you forget the purpose. Also be weary of others who may try to take advantage of your kind generous spirit and rope you into doing both your share and theirs.

Card 5: Spirit: Represents issues that tend to be karmic in nature.Shows areas which go beyond our day-to-day activities but seem destined in some way. Indicates areas we have chosen to encounter to help us progress along our spiritual path.

Page of Cups: The fish looking up at the young page from the cup symbolises psychic ability and sensitivity!!! The page himself represents a student. Being the suit of cups it is mainly concerned with an overall theme of love...how wonderful!!! Perhaps you have been working on developing your psychic abilities, either consciously or not. I think this is an awesome card to have in this position!!

Well there it is...let me know if I totally scared you away!!
