Final Reading for Andrea –
Dear Andre –
. I am sorry but I will not be able to finish my reading your chart; a family matter has come up and I will be gone to another city for some weeks. So I asked the Tarot for a summary which would cover any points, including your current transits, that were important for you to understand about where you are and where you are going at this time in your life.
As always, I put fresh flowers on my altar, lit both candles and incense, and then saluted the Lord of the Universe. I will say: that the Angels of the Tarot obviously wanted you to get this message: Seven out of ten cards -- in the reading, were Major Arcana! The odds against that happening are very low. In my thirty years of doing readings, this is a new record!
The angels are really telling you the core of what your chart (Seven Planets) reveals.
THE READING
Card One. You are asked to look deeply at your spiritual side which is now unfolding in new ways. You are a very practical and down-to-earth person, and can look on this side of yourself as your base. Your Taurus nature in sound and deeply intuitive, so Life is telling you that you remain completely safe as you enter this new and exciting phase of your life.
Card Two. Your problems come mostly from your emotional side and from some old memories that are hurtful. But you have a gift which you should can now begin to use to see more deeply into Life. In meditation and you can learn to ask the Goddess for your answers to any problem. She will show you the power of Love, your right course of action, and how you can turn painful memories into rich compost to grow future flowers.
Card Three. Look to LOVE as your best shield in Life. You have a gift -- that of true spiritual love, but you need now to develop this High Love. The message of the Tarot is clear: learn to see what is loveable in everyone; learn always to see the best in Life. And (says the Tarot), THIS is the best that can be achieved.
Card Four. There are unseen forces that will soon be coming to the forefront. These are Martian forces and some people may try to involve you in some quarrel. This is your opportunity to look for a peaceful resolution, and an opportunity to ask the Goddess for the SOLUTION that LIFE hides beneath the surface. And this is a PROCESS which should not be hurried; this ‘process’ represents the beginning of the insights you will develop as you enter your new Path.
Card Five. You have, in the past, depended primarily on your mind as the source of sovereign Reason. And this, of course, is good! But in the future your Mind will slowly take on a new role: that which the ancients called the ‘Messenger of the Gods’. In your coming life you will specifically be learning to direct your Mind to work closely with the Principle of Love in all things.
Card Six. This Key summarizes the door to your future, and represents how your Sun Nature empowers your Moon nature to do its work; that work is a ‘connectedness’ with all Life; a connectedness that fives voice to your deepest and subconscious needs. The Tarot says that a bold new era is unfolding in and for you. You can learn how to keep all things Powerful, while all remains in complete Harmony.
Card Seven. This Key represents the very first steps that are needed as you begin to form your Future. You find ways to take action to balance all opposites that occur in your personal environment. It is you who must actively seek for solutions, but it is the Divine Mother who will do the work – as you discover the proper path for yourself. In Key 11 of the Tarot the Divine Mother holds the scales – balancing Severity (Mars) against Mercy (Jupiter) in her left hand. Her right hand holds the sword of Discrimination (Mars and Saturn). And when you work WITH her you discover POISE. Isn’t that the result of a balanced and harmonious personality that learns it can solve all problems?
Card Eight. Your response to the new challenges will feel, at first, as if it is you who must juggle too many things, keeping all of the balls in the air with only your own powers to help you. But in time, you will discover that LIFE is doing the work for you. .
Card Nine. This represents your hopes and your fears. And you would like a period of rest and respite. This period is a sign of approaching success.
Card Ten. The final card of the future and how it unfolds. This is the Lover’s Key (6) of the Tarot, which shows your subconscious and self-conscious modes of expression, working together in Love, Harmony and Beauty. Under the watchful eye of your Mind, your subconscious nature (the woman) is perfectly connected to the angel Raphael, which is Mercury in its new role. And Mercury relays the messages from Above (Life) through your subconscious nature.
The following are Astrological Notes on the Cards.
Card One: this card represented Neptune in Sagittarius, and in the First House of Self. Neptune, then, will be your guide in all future meditations.
.
Card Two: this card represented Aquarius and shows the Divine Mother revealing the real truth to you, the one who meditates and asks questions. Your Moon is in Aquarius, ideally located for this work. Your strong emotions seem to oppose you at times, but remember: the Moon is is the mid-point or Release of your See-saw. Bringing your Moon into play in balancing the pairs of opposites is the secret of your chart.
Card Three: this Key represents your Venus, which is in Gemini – a sign which significes how Mercury and Veuns (the twins) can learn to work together and thus properly focus you on your new course. But Venus has a strong and challenging contact with Neptune (yor See-saw). A reminder that – in oprder to fully develop your spiritual side, you need to work with your Moon in Aquarius because it is the release point.
Card Four: on the Tree of Life this Key represents Geburah, Seferah 5 and the Field of Mars. The message here is clear: the ‘forms’ (or patterns) of your new life must ALWAYS balance Severity with Mercy. And, Mercy must always be balanced with Severity. The planetary powers involved in this balance are Jupiter (Mercy), ruler of Sagittarius, and Mars (Severity). Jupiter is in your 11th house of groups and hopes; Mar is in your 7th house of partnerships and marriage.
Card Five: This card represents Mercury, and your Mercury is in Taurus, where it is both very practical and also works most harmoniously with your Sun; further, you have seen the Hierophant Key (Taurus) and remember it represents INTUITION. Further, the Moon is exalted therein. One more point: Mercury rules Gemini, where your Venus resides. (And – be sure to look for a surprise in the last card of this reading, where your Mercury, Venus and Sun are joyously united)!
Card Six: This card represents Leo, the sign on the cusp of your ninth house, but you have no planets in that sign. So the Keys are reminding you that all Leo’s, whether they know it consciously or not, are born with the gift of ‘marrying’ the Sun and the Moon. As a young child you had two examples of this marriage before you, all the time. Now, with your adult heart and with love, you only have to SEE what was the very BEST in the Leo nature; then, seeing this, you will understand how to make your own life work during the coming transition. The BEST in the sign of Leo will show you how to make your own Sun work with your own Moon.
.Card Seven: This Key represents Libra, and Air sign, but ruled by Venus (Love) and Saturn is Exalted – meaning it works better in this sign than in any other. Uranus, co-ruler of your Moon sign (Aquarius) is in Libra, in the eleventh house of Aquarius. And Saturn, which represents Discrimination, Focus and the principle of Limitation. You will find how to use Saturn to achieve all your goals and your future happiness. After all, your Saturn is in Taurus, and conjunct to your Sun.
The 19th century Spanish artist, Goya, once painted a famous painting showing Saturn as a malefic, eating his own children! This has always been the view of the popular mind concerning Saturn. But all spiritual systems give Saturn first place among the Powers.
Card Eight: this Tarot Key represents the powers of the Zodiac, as represented by Chokmah, Seferah 2 on the Tree of Life. The angels of the Tarot are telling you to NOT worry! You are beginning a process in which Life begins to do the work for you.
Card Nine: this Tarot Key represents the sphere of Chesed (or Jupiter) in the world of Air. This decanate of Libra is co-ruled by Mercury, which suggests that your mind now SEES the Laws of Nature that assure your success!
.Card Ten: the Lovers Key represents the sign of Gemini, the twins, and Mercury is exalted in this sign (meaning it works best here). Here is the success that is promised both by your chart and by this Tarot reading. From other factors in this reading, this process will take about two years.
Goodluck --
Shantana
