The cards for this week
pull in two of the big “baddies” of Tarot – The Tower and The Devil, but in
reality, there are no “bad” cards. These
cards are there to help us avoid pitfalls or mend our bad habits. We need to embrace these cards! They’re there for our higher good.
The imagery on the card
of Kali is slightly disconcerting, with skulls, claws and lightening! Kali is a card of intuition and new ways of
thinking. She’s known as the card of “creative destruction”. She’s telling us that What We Need to Know is
about making changes which may be large scale and far reaching. Change is needed because we’ve fallen into
bad habits or are stuck in non-fulfilling situations. Kali wants us to take
personal responsibility for making sure these changes happen as they’ll bring a
range of opportunities with them. We
need to be open minded and develop new ways of thinking. We may have a sudden epiphany or lesson in
humility. Before we can move onto
something new, we need to discard our old ways which are no longer serving us. If we’re not prepared to take steps to
change, we might find that change is foisted on us – and it won’t be
welcome!
Bella Rosa is the
enigmatic, masked person in carnival dress.
She hides her true nature behind her mask. Her appearance in this reading tells us that
what We Need to Do is practice self-acceptance. Following on from Kali, Bella
Rosa suggests that to find fulfillment we need to accept all aspects of
ourselves, including our dark side. The
mirror symbolizes introspection and urges us to be true to ourselves, and
honest with ourselves. Are we too materialistic? Do we have addictions? Are we
self-sabotaging? Are we bound up in an unproductive situation? Now is the time
to examine our habits, honestly appraise ourselves and make positive changes.
The Four of Stones
shows a bejeweled trunk blocking the path through the archway to the
woods. This card is about choosing
something old (stored in the chest), or something new and mysterious (to be
found in the forest). As the card telling us Where We Need to Go, it implies
the need to make a choice between staying safe with something we’ve potentially
outgrown or taking a choice and moving in to the unknown and taking a
chance. This card is cautioning us not
to be too focused on material goods, and to pay attention to our spiritual
path. However, it isn’t a choice of one
at the expense of another – we need to have a balance between worldly concerns
and spiritual matters.
Looking at the three
cards as a whole the clear message is to spend time examining your motives and
ambitions and discard those that no longer fit you or your situation. Don’t be
afraid of striking out on a new path, as long as it’s the path towards your
higher good and allows you to be true to yourself.
