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.

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. 

Week 33 forecast (updated)

Theme of the week:
This card tells what the overall energy of the week be and what you will be surrounded by for most part of next 7 days.

This card is associated with family, security of home, celebration and expectation of something nicer. I have a wedding in family coming up so I assume the week is of celebrations, family union and security.

I was indeed looking forward to the festival starting this Monday. It was well worth it because of the fun and all the anticipation.

What will occupy me the most:
This card tells you what will keep you busy, what will mostly be going on with you.This is different from position 1 because it tells you what will keep you busy, know what I mean?

The outcome card from last week will keep me busier this week. I did feel down, frustrated, mad and angry last week but I had hope. I guess this week too I will be trying to figure a way to look at more positive things. I will however feel let-down & betrayed. *sad*

I was mostly annoyed because of things not coming together regarding my project. I was just crying for no reason because things just got better.
What will be ignored the most:
There are things which we need to do but we ignore, and there are things which are not important and are ignored. This is what needs your attention, but will be ignored. There is a hint here that you need to make sure do not ignore this if it is important to you.

So while I stay busy with the sorrow and grief I don't see all that I have, all the blessings I'm surrounded with.

I seriously was trying the hardest to be thankful for things I have and I don't deserve. 
Actions that need to be taken:
This is what you must do.

This card is about bringing a balance. When you have excess you share it and give it out, when you have lesser you seek more. This is all about maintaining a balance. The suit is of Pentacles so I will say I need to keep the cash flow in check.

I swear I did not buy anything useless although I was tempted to.

Ignore this:
Leave this bit for this week. Focus on Action card.

Forget about the heartbreaks, and do not let anyone pull you down.
Ok point taken.

I did, I did.
Advice to make the most:
How you can get the most out of this week to achieve your weekly goals.

Evasive behavioured. This card is the card of theft and deception but I do not think the cards are telling me to lie or deceive others, its simply telling me to stay away from troubles this week.

I was trying to get away from whatever made me unhappy.

Outcome:
This is you at the end of the week, subject to the condition you follow the advice that the cards gave you.

At the end of the week, I will be focusing on my financial matters I assume. Pages are also news, or younger people. By the end of the week  I expect a financial news or learning practical stuff.

I have been exhausted by this week's journey.

This week I have Three Pentacles means its the week to be stable and finances oriented. The Cups suit is entirely missing which shows that I will be lacking sensitivity and emotions this week.No trumps too, looks like its all good to go.
