Tarot Reading Part 2

The Readings I received:

Dear Lyndsey,

Many thanks for reaching out and I am happy to do this reading for you. I want to start with commending you for being so brave in sharing about your life so openly. It is certainly a sign that you are ready to own it all up and let it go ! I have stated above everything you shared with me in order to retain your energy completely in the reading. As I begin your reading, I am inspired to draw a card from the “Keepers of the Light” Oracle Deck by Kyle Gray. This is a deck consisting of ascended masters, spiritual deities and higher beings from many world traditions who are here to help all of those who call upon them for help. These beings dedicate themselves to the peace, healing and nurturing of the world. Let us see which of these masters is here to support you on your life journey and what messages he/she has for you.

White Eagle

Ancestor Spirit

Connect to your lineage. A family wound or pattern can be healed now.

Right out of the gate, there is a very powerful message coming through from you. I have attached a copy of the text from the book that comes along with this deck. What this card is saying to me is that healing from past wounds is possible now. Just becoming aware that the behaviour of your parents towards you was a family pattern and wound that may have been running in your family through generations. They did what they did to you, because they did not know any better. Call upon your grandparents or anyone who has transitioned to the other side to help you with this healing. The key to healing is forgiveness. Forgiveness is not about condoning the actions of others, but it is all about not letting them weigh heavily on your present. Remember it is not the snake bite that kills a person, but it is the venom that circulates through the body that results in the death. The past is over and done, let the venom from those experiences not spoil your present and future. When you are able to forgive your parents for what they did to you during your childhood, you will be free from the prison that you are stuck in currently. You will be able to detach yourself from the wounds you have endured.

The spread I have chosen for you is called the “release and let go” spread since your main reason for this reading is to be able to get out of the manipulative behaviour patterns within yourself that you have become aware are the reason for you not being able to have meaningful relationships in your life.

As I look at the cards, Lyndsey I can say one thing for certain, that this is a very positive reading and the Universe is here to support you on this healing journey. You have already made a start by firstly becoming aware of your own self and then by investing time in working towards getting over the unhealthy patterns. Your decision, in your own words “decided not to escape anymore” is being heard by the Tarot and it has some great messages to support you on this journey.

Out of the seven card drawn, three are Major Arcana cards which tells me that this is a big life transition phase for you. Continuing to work on the healing path is going to shift your life in the positive direction.

Card 1: What you are feeling right now : Chariot (Reversed)

You are currently feeling under the influence of your past and not able to move towards living a happy life. However, note that the Chariot is a very powerful card and denotes forward motion and progress. You are internally ready to make changes in your life. This is evident from the fact that you are already aware of your thought and behaviour patterns and have turned to self-help books, Ted talks and the Tarot in order to be able to get guidance and direction. The card appearing in reverse is only an indication that you are not yet at a place where you are able to embrace the changes taking place within you while you interacting with others. You may be lacking confidence to fully embrace the new you which is slowly and gradually emerging. If you notice, there is a person sitting on the Chariot, which is you and the chariot is being pulled by two sphinxes - one is white and the other is black. This denotes the constant struggle that you are going through with respect to the pain of the past and the hope of the future. When you start letting go of your past by forgiving those who hurt you, you will be able to focus better on moving towards a bright future. This card is all about choosing your own route by letting go of clutter, bad habits and even people.

Card 2: Why am I feeling it so strong : Four of Cups (reversed)

Very clearly you are feeling stuck because you are upset about how life has treated you until now and also how you are showing up in the romantic relationships you have had until now. Not having received love as a child, is resulting in you not able to give and receive love in a healthy manner. The memories of your childhood when you were not accepted for who you were, could not express yourself freely and all that you have shared above, is still haunting you. Notice the body language of the person in the card. She is feeling rejected, unhappy and completely closed off. Because of that you are not able to notice that there is a hand of the divine which is offering you love and healing energy. The closed off energy coming through from this card is what is making you feel stuck and not being able to move in a positive direction (also represented by the reversed Chariot).

Card 3: How can I release this feeling : Ace of Pentacles

Aces are all about new beginnings. Becoming open to make a new start and trusting that the Divine is offering you an opportunity to do so, is going to be very important to release the negative feelings. If you notice, in this card the hand of the Divine has become even bigger and is offering you a new start. Once you embrace it, you will be able to walk on a path which will lead you towards new possibilities. The card depicts a pathway and also a doorway which both denote new starts in new direction. Know that the Tarot is saying to you that the path of self-development and self-awareness that you are on, is going to lead you to a bright future. There is a very beautiful story emerging … once you let go of the past, embrace divine help and guidance, you will be able to turn the Chariot upright and move towards the doorway which leads to the next card which denotes celebration.

Card 4: What is the feeling transforming into : Four of wands

Fours are about stability and wands are about passions. Your story is going to unfold into you being able to connect with people from a place of joy and trust. This card also denotes a happy home and it is saying to me is this healing journey is going to transform into hope for the future. You will be able to make strong connections which are likely to result in you being able to create a happy home and stable family life in the future. The healing journey is going to result in your feelings transforming into those of harmony and balance.

Card 5: How can I rise above : High Priestess

The High Priestess is a Major Arcana card is the sister and alter ego of the motherly and very caring Empress. This card is urging you to ask yourself what you really want from your life. Other than wanting a romantic partner and helping your family, make time for yourself and connect with the inner self and your private dreams. Once you embrace the energy of the High Priestess and truly start honouring yourself and your dreams, you will be able to rise above the energies that are pulling you down currently. Note that there is a crescent moon at her feet which denotes that you have access to your intuition. The fact that you have embraced the Tarot tells me that you have already taken this step and becoming open to receiving guidance from your higher self. Your connection with yourself is what is going to help you the most. You do not need another person to lift you up- you can do that for yourself.

CARD 6: What is my new beginning : Page of Pentacles

Your new beginning is embracing the gift of healing that the Divine has offered you in the Ace of pentacles cards. Pages are young people who are at the start of a new journey. You too are very young and have your entire life ahead of you. The card is depicting you holding the pentacle offered by the Divine in your hand. The greenery and the little flower buds ready to bloom as all signs that you are about to embark on a very positive new start.

CARD 7: What have I learned : The Lovers

This is once again a Major Arcana Card. Through this process of self-discovery, you are learning about what you truly value in life, what you need to let go off and that your intuition and the Divine are always there to guide you. This card stands for making choices such that you are aligned with what you value the most in life. Once you are able to do that, you will manifest love and harmony in your life. The imagery in this card is saying to me that once you embrace the powerful being that is within you and start showing up in the world as a confident young woman, you will be able to attract true love into your life. The

angel on this card is Raphael which helps with the healing process. This energy is going to be a total contrast from what you have learnt in your childhood or at present how you are looking for your romantic partners to complete you. The biggest lesson you will be learning is that “you are enough”.

I have drawn an additional card from “The Wild Offering” Oracle Deck by Tosha Silver.

Love

It’s not about finding Love.

You are Love Itself.

Help me, Lord, to send so much compassion and caring to the inner Child that

I always remember, “I myself am Love”

A very powerful healing message has come through to wrap up this reading. You will be able to let go of all the unhealthy patterns and repetitive cycles through the process of forgiveness, self-acceptance, becoming aware of the Divine presence in your life, trusting your own intuition and making wise choices going forward. Let the past not define your present and future. Spiritual practices, mainly prayer, meditation and journaling will help you embrace the healing message that has come through from this reading. You are on the right path and are fully supported.

Lyndsey, I thoroughly enjoyed reading for you and hope that you found it useful too.

I wish you all the very best for the future.

Much Love,

Rikki
