Month: September 2017

It’s very possible that you will decide to leave your job if you are currently working, even if it’s a good job, because your heart is no longer in it. You are being called to follow your dream, no matter what it is.  If you have a desire to do something different, but don’t know anybody who does what you want to do — be bold and call up someone who does what you dream of doing and ask them if you can have lunch with them, or shadow them for four hours. You’d be surprised how often such a request is met in the affirmative. In the financial sense, the Wheel of Fortune is generally a good omen for anyone who has been having a rough time for a while financially.  It means that your circumstances are very likely to change, markedly, for the better.  However,if you have had a long prosperous period, consider the opposite possibility – that your income may drop a little.  If that’s the case, be sure you are prepared for the proverbial “rainy day.”  In the long run, it all evens out naturally.

The Moon indicates that things may seem somewhat confusing to you now. You may find it hard to understand where you are coming from, much less what others are thinking and feeling!  You need to try to sit with the uncertainty, don’t try to force things or people to do things before they are ready. This card is the “Pisces” of the tarot deck. You are definitely in a more psychic and intuitive phase than usual, so it will be important for you to trust your instincts and impressions, even if you don’t know where they are coming from. Also, not that you need to be mistrusting, but it will be helpful for you to realize that when this card appears, it’s possible that all is not what it seems.  If you feel you can’t trust someone, then you probably can’t.  Go with your gut. If you are waiting on an answer from someone, it may unfortunately take longer than you would like for it to take. Try to remain patient.

Your health and vitality ought to be strong and robust now.  This is a great time to correct bad habits if you need to do so in order to protect your health.  Starting with small goals, like a daily ten-minute walk, could very well lead you to where you want to be, which is even healthier and stronger than you’re feeling right now.  Yes, it can get better!  This is likely a very spiritual time for you, even if you don’t have anything close to a religious belief.  To be truly strong, you must pay attention to and develop each leg of the triad we are made from:  body, mind and spirit.  Be sure you are spending time on all three.  That’s hardest to do when things are difficult.  If you are at a low point, know that things are very likely to be looking up soon.

A reversed Hermit card can represent an opposite … a mean old man, isolated, misanthropic, paranoid … Isolation does not bring insights and epiphanies, but rather turns the person sour and against the world.  Another opposite of the Hermit is the Fool, such as a teacher who uses her position to do foolish or childish things, rather than to impart wisdom and insight.  Either way, this is not a trustworthy teacher or sage.

A reversed Hermit can also mean Blocks … the power of the Hermit (his energy) is in his lantern.  The Hermit has keen insight and an ability to see what is hidden to others; he knows how to look beneath the surface.  If this is blocked, then we might well say that the Hermit’s lantern has been shattered.  It offers no light and the Hermit is left in darkness.  Thus, if you are viewing this sign as a representation of a block, then perhaps you are having trouble shedding light on a problem, or that you are alone in the dark in this situation.  To get out, you must find a way to rekindle you lantern.  The lantern is emblematic of your keen mind, sharp eye and analytical abilities.  Though currently in darkness, the Hermit has the means to shed light on things if he rekindles his lantern.
