Tarot #59: III The Empress, nurturing spirit of creation.

III

This is the Harmony of the Universe, that love

unites the Will to create with Understanding

of that creation: understand thou thine own

Will

Love and let love. Rejoice in every shape of love

and get thy rapture and thy nourishment thereof.

The Empress represents the nurturing spirit at play in the world, that which encourages growth and fertility and causes us to use our senses in wonder and admiration for the beauty of life and the balance that holds its truth.

Life will prevail and rise from the blasted earth or in the depths of the deepest oceans in sulfurous volcanic vents and there is the strength and will within all living things to create and carry on the song of life that surrounds us.

You may need to use your intuition or sense of spiritual balance to come to grips with an issue you are struggling with. Or, you may need to seek the help of a nurturing person or a place that you find regenerative in order to heal or recover from a shock or grief.

Tarot #58: Knight/King of Disks, solid and dependable, and planted in the earth

This is the middle way, not clever, but applicable in everyday life. Never overreaching, the embodiment of practical approach and common sense. One who heals through simple methods learned from observation and tradition.

Think on a small scale, do little things that lead to the large solutions, begin with yourself and work out in a steady and painstaking way building bridges and smoothing the path where it is rough. Do nothing to arouse defenses in others. Work openly with only the benefit of all the world in your heart and all will succeed eventually.

You are moving into a time when you will need to act in a conservative manner examining your options with care and moving slowly. There will be opportunities that seem to good to be true and those that seem too far a reach. Somewhere in the middle is a path that will suit you and those who may rely on you.

You may need to look to a simpler and practical way of resolving issues or you may need slow down and meditate on adjusting your point of view to see the path of least resistance where all that is necessary is to position yourself effectively and await the solution.

There is a challenge coming your way in which you will have to draw on your inner resources of strength and instinct to succeed. It is not time to be clever or fancy. Stick with methods that have been proven empirically and if that fails, trust the most steady course and stick to it. You may need to look to a simpler and practical way of resolving issues or you may need to slow down and meditate on adjusting your point of view to see the path of least resistance where all that is necessary is to position yourself effectively and await the solution.

The King of Disks/Father of coins

The master of the sensual life. The King lives filled with the present moment, open to all forms of pleasure and experience. What can you learn from your body and senses?

Revering the mother and source of life and gaining power from the earth, roots are sunk deep. With one hand the bounty of the earth is gathered and with other given back.
