TarotScope for February 2013

Every month I pull six cards, for Love, Home/family & work/Finances
For this month I have:

Tarotscope for month of Feb 2013

Love & Romance:

Hierophant + Strength 
Hierophant in love position actually suggests commitment or traditional relationship values like marriage, loyalty etc. The Strength on other hand is lust & physical passion. These two cards initially looked very opposite to me. Only later after pondering over this for sometimes I realised that Hierophant is also a teacher or an advisor. A person who helps you understand the deeper meaning of something. This person may or may not be a Taurus sign or one with a strong Taurus in his/her chart. The Strength is soft-control or being tolerant & compassionate towards others.
So this is a person who is teaching me to be tolerant & compassionate towards others. This person is probably a strong supporter of traditional values & a belief system.
After meditating on the cards for few seconds I have come across a statement which relaxes me (It happens when I know that I know what the combo is telling me). Our traditional values tell us that women are naturally more soft & compassionate than men. This combo here is telling me that by being soft, it doesn't mean I'm out of control or giving up. It simply means what I'm unable to handle with force & aggression  I should be able to handle the same with love & kindness.

Home & Family:

Six of Cups + Page of Pentacles
Nostalgia/childhood memories + A student

I like the way Page looks closely at the coin, as if observing it too closely. This combo here tells me that there is something I need to learn from my childhood memories. I have some issues with family this month, I can already see situation worsening sometimes in this month. It simply tells me that I have to look back & see where the problem lies, in my childhood.

Work & Finances:

Seven of Pentacles + Ace of Pentacles

This combo is exactly from Tarotscope for November in same position. At that time I was offered an intern ship at a bank right after my exams. I can tell that something smaller, like a bottom-level job or a new job which doesn't pay as well as my expectations (since its an Ace) but there is a potential for increase. The energy of Ace is very short-lived. I must grasp the opportunity. The Seven of Pentacles however suggests there will be sometimes before the opportunity arrives.

Tarotscope for November 2012

Love & Romance:

 

The Moon & Eight of Wands:

It looks like the illusions and being unable to see through the illusions from last month, I will finally be able to put an end to that. Things will be coming to conclusion.

This is right, I have gone from being delusional to being practical to knowing & realizing answers. The 8 of Wands is also a card of communication which has been on the roll lately.I think, now at the end of the month, I know what I want from my relationships.

Home & Family:

 

King of Pentacles & Four of Swords:

I see a man who is Earth sign and financially very stable (can be my father or brother, they both are good with money & have strong Earth personalities) shall be withdrawing & resting. I'm just getting worried if it means my brother/dad will be getting ill.

No one fell ill, which is a great news, but I have actually got a big inspiration to prepare myself for the responsibilities ahead.

Work & Finances:

Seven of Pentacles & Ace of Pentacles:
There is time before success and a new financial beginning arrives. The cards for work look really good this time around. The Ace of Pentacles for this position really suggest a new beginning, a new job with small salary or wages, but there is a strong potential for growth. The seven of Pentacles is the time for waiting.

THIS was the highlight of my month. When I saw the Ace of Pentacles, I knew some opportunity was coming up for me & it did. I have had an offer, an opportunity. Its a small one but with Aces you cannot expect something bigger, but something smaller with a chance of getting bigger. This is what I'm hoping & aiming for.

Celtic Cross reading

This reading is done for a friend J who is going through some uncertain complicated circumstances in her relationship with an overly-obsessed lover.

1. The Situation as it is now:

This card appears when things are miserable, but there is hope and a desire for betterment. There is no disappointment with this card, there is a sense of optimism. There is a quest for something better and you are willing to take the risk of leaving the imperfect things behind.

2. Obstacles and Challenges

Financial and material issues seem important in this relationship. Aces are also the beginnings and Pentacles are the financial and practical matters. So there is a financial opportunity or the lack of it which is the challenge here.Starting afresh and that too with lot of practicality is needed.

3. Root of the matter: what caused this situation:

A stand-still and wait and see has led to this situation. There is nothing happening, things are not going anywhere and this is causing all the frustration. This explains why the Ace, a beginning, is the challenge. The status quo needs to be changed.

4. Past:

Things have been the best they can be in the past. We may also say the best days are over now. It was like a dream come true, and now you have woke up.

5. Immediate future:

This is a motherly, nurturing woman who is very sensitive & caring. As the immediate future,it looks like things will improve a lot in their relationship soon enough.

6. Long term future:

There will be strength to tolerate and patiently handle each other. There is a lot of strength coming in too making the bond stronger. One of the partners might go a little wild but the other has strength to handle it.

7. You, right now:

This explains her situation pretty well. She finds herself trapped in a situation where she cannot stay and she cannot leave. There are misunderstandings and lack of communication. There is also helplessness.

8. Environment, what surrounds you right now:

Things are too still and stubborn right now. There is a lot of unnecessary restriction around you. You are supposed to hold on tight, and not let go. Your environment wants you to make sure you are secure, financially probably.

9. Hopes and fears:

You have a hope that if you wait out on things, they might improve, but at the same time you are scared that if you wait too long, it will be like time wasted. The outcome of waiting, with this card, is usually success. so hang on.

10, 11, 12- Outcome
Page of Pentacles, Five of Swords, The Moon

There is a sense of betrayal and deception which is planned and imposed on the situation. In the end you might end up asking yourself what have I done and was it worth it?

There is a serious lack of Wands in this suit so there is no action going on. There are 4 Pentacles so things will go very slow. The future looks good for her in either case, if she stays or leaves, but the outcome suggests its better to learn the lesson and move on.
