Don't question your journey; don't regret the decisions you made to get where you are; you're here...and it's good...and, yes, there's more to come.

Wood, Water, Aether...that's a lot of feeling going on. Let it happen, just let it happen.

 

 

You've worked hard to get where you are in the material world...so what makes you think that it's not enough?

The nourishing order ( earth > metal on the foundation) is reversed, as is the numeric order of the cards so we know it wasn't easy, getting you where you are. Above, in today, the nourishing order and the numeric order are in sequence but the Fire 3 flipped suggests something stirring at the level of the Spirit Self, something that may manifest as a temporary dissatisfaction. More likely, because it is literally sitting on top of the world, its just the feeling created by Spirit wanting to stretch its legs a a bit. So don't do anything rash. Give Spirit a chance to wiggle about a bit, then see how you're feeling.

   

   

If you can just let go of the pain, the heartbreak, the mental games, whatever it is that has been holding you in thrall, and follow your heart, you will reach a place of unexpectedly abundant pleasure.

The appearance of The Chariot, reversed, in the past, makes it look as though you've had a clue that this was what you had to do, but there seems to have been a relapse - something to do with control, maybe?

Let it go...from every cell in your body, let it go....

Wood in a Support Role

Wood -.(female)

 

Leading to Wood - personal growth, nurturing - sends a real message that whatever is coming really will be "for your own good" (female)

 

Leading to Air - the intellect and the faculties and functions of the mind in general - promotes an atmosphere of thoughtfulness and consideration (male)

 

Leading to Fire - connection to Spirit and to the Spirit Self - inspiration, philosophy, the expression of the heart in the world, often as work - Wood feeds Fire so this is usually a hot combination - points to whatever is "on the fire" being helpful, useful in a very personal and possibly growth-oriented way (male)

 

Leading to Earth - the material world and all that it entails including the business of survival and therefore money and the well being of the physical body  - Wood pierces Earth as the roots of a tree (or a fencepost!) do so this energy can be quite dynamic - very real shifts can be expected (female)

 

Leading to Metal - Will Power - the expression of mental abilities for a purpose - Metal is used to shape Wood - this usually suggests that a challenge of some sort is on the horizon (male)

Leading to Water - Water nourishes Wood, already a nourishing element itself - This is a combination that feels right even if surrounding cards may indicate a challenge so it promises some degree of comfort even in demanding situations (female)

 

And then we start again....Aether - That which is larger than all we know - The flow we are often advised to go with - Aether supported by Wood implies your - conscious or subconscious - participation in the unfolding of your Spirit Self on earth.

Should inspiration strike - and it may very well have struck already - do not be daunted by the feeling that whatever it is is too much trouble. If you move on it today the energy of doing so will have a chance to percolate a little - which is good, gives you time to consider options, approaches - and then it will take off!

Fire and Air are good buddies. Ease and effortlessness are promised.

Traditionally, this part of the lunar cycle, right before the new moon, is not considered a time to start things. But percolating...ahhhh, yes! The darkness of the coming new moon can provide a place of great discernment. One can, after all, spot a light in the darkness more easily than in the bright so it's actually a great time for planning and preparing and seeing where the sparks are coming from.

Those of us conceived or born on a new moon also have terrific resonance with its energy and can find it to be a massively fertile time.

 

 

Great love can bring great sadness. Great joy can bring the let down that follows. Both can bring memories that allow you to make the choice...where do I dwell? Do I sit in the sadness or do I cherish the love? Do I wallow in feeling dejected or do I revel in the fact that I was there once?

Karma - called Justice in more traditional decks - is all about balance. It's up to you to provide focus.

That which you have "lost" will yield you unexpected results if you just go, be, do.



Power was out in the hills this morning rendering the magic of the cloud that sat on us even more precious in the extreme silence only recently broken by the restoration of electricity.

In the extreme quiet I did this card reading to post when we were back on the grid and  I did my yoga, interrupted by a flurry of the earth spirits from under and around the house bringing me knowledge about their energy, the energy of the Earth and the Universe and my role in being here.

I certainly never expected that. Such revelations come to me only every few years so I'm guessing that it's just that kind of day.

     

Past life connections resurface as present day puzzlement.

If you think you are in over your head, you are...but don't forget that you know how to swim. This comes from a place that was once very good to you and was taken away unexpectedly. It comes as a reminder that you may need to sit with this awhile before moving on.

Water over Water, fueled by Aether, can lead to intensely felt emotions. Give yourself the space and time to swim with them. It's necessary.

Fire and Aether, an awesome combination, Fire being as close as we get to the Spirit aspect of ourselves without actually bursting into pure energy and Aether being that energy. This says Pay Attention.

It also says cool your jets...sort of. because Sons carry more Action energy that Fathers do and what this reading suggests is that you sit on your more mature energy, using it only for grounding purposes, referring back to it as what enabled you to get to where you are, then bring out the kid in you and pursue your dreams with abandon.

Sounds good to me.

 

 

Earth, no matter the card, is always creates a strong foundation and, being Earth, it always indicates things very much of this world. Earth is grounded in reality. Even numbers add balance to that groundedness and the Two is especially balanced since each of its components is balanced in and of itself.

So you're off on a good foot today. All the better for the dealings you'll be having with others. You may be needed and today it will be easy for you to bridge the gap, to be the rock.

Whatever that is that's burning inside you, let it out. Let your passion be known.

It's International Women's Day; it's the first day of the third quarter of the moon; the energy the moon brings is one of letting go...but this is more of a letting out! Come out of whatever closet you've been in. Declare yourself! Get excited. Fly!

Go for it!
