I pulled a couple cards for something relevant in my life that I could think and write about. I got the Wheel of Fortune and Knight of Wands.
At a time when I'm living in an apartment and looking for a job, when less than a year ago I was at home and working full time, the Wheel is obviously that change of environment. I no longer have the comforts that back then seemed a drag.
The Wheel can also be the passage of time, bringing about a new set of circumstances and perspective. Which is a good sign since I've had my eye on something for a couple months now. Come to think of it, the place is actually being built and the turning of the wheel can denote progress. Ah, see how much tarot reveals when all the little possibilities build up.
Now the Knight is someone I want to see with the Wheel. He's surrounded by barren desert- nothing- which is how my prospective seems at times. He's headed somewhere- speed, progress, timing that the Wheel brought up- in a definite direction and purpose. I'll see if anything happens that will confirm these.
I got my first deck 4 years ago in a February. I bought it myself. With a gift card. If you're aware of the myths, it's almost a sin to get your own deck. It must be gifted. And I'm pretty sure plastic-as-currency for such a sacred and esoteric acquisition is right up there. Bull.
Anyway, my interest in all thing occulty goes back to my childhood. I got books on witches, hauntings, vampires, the paranormal and horror from my school library. I'm not sure what some of those books were doing in a grade school come to think of it.
So the fascination has always been there.
In college almost all of my close friends had their own decks. What a coincidence. I saw them in action and needed my own asap. Even the sales guy at that Borders read tarot. I finally decided on the Russian Tarot of St Petersburg and grabbed a beginner's book.
My first readings were done with awe and trembling in my room- stupid questions about crushes I had, a few on my path with tarot in a strange moment of insight. I still have the journal they're all in.
The first readings for others was at a shindig in the art building. I guess I was reading for friends, had my cards with me like a toy poodle. A couple aquaintances + 1 guy I didn't know asked for readings. So I drew cards and read them a litany of meanings from my book. Shockingly, they looked shocked. In varying degrees. I still wonder what that guy's question was- didn't tell me but he got something from the cards.
Over the years I ditched the books and started reading online- at forums, networks, for friends. I've definitely had those aha! moments and been able to pass those along to others I read for. It's my hope to offer readings in my shop and scatter them wherever I go.
Work plays a big role this month, so does managing resources.Stay sharp and be prepared for some mental flexibility.
