The Moon

Welcome to our blog after the summer break, we will be coming with more articles on meaning of the tarot cards with even more reflections on the symbols and the way to understand and apply them in our life.

Our next entry brings us to the card of intuitive perception, the premonitions, the insightful way of understanding our unconsciousness and the path between the tamed and unrestricted parts of our psyche.
How many times we ask ourselves: what if...? The questions are always revolving on how much are we able to control our lives and the output of our choices and our efforts so we are able to move forward according to our plans. How much is there to be understood when it comes to using conscious forces of our mindset to prevent things which, in the wider perspective, are just a collateral damage in their nature? Things which we cannot avoid but in the long run - they show us the signs to find a new pathway.
We are often deceived in our perception of things. The mystery unravels itself not necessarily immediately. How much we idealise the situation and even to some extent we presume that there is always a hindrance, a difficulty... But the origin of this lies often in something that we, by higher design, cannot really predict - our path conforms to the type of difficulty that arises and shapes the experience we receive.
We often loose the sense of goal, sense of our destination. Be it by negative self-talk, conscious mental blocks, stereotypes and platitudes - we distance ourselves from the path of inner peace and understanding.
But even in the times of unhappiness we may see what we are looking for. And rather than conforming for the experience that our subconsciousness shapes to imprint us - we may start trying to find our own imprint and trace what stops us from achieving what we really need.
The Moon with its magical light clears the way inward and outward and helps us to reach the magical place of fullfilment.

The Magus

Have you ever felt that you want to create your own success but you sense that there are not enough tools at hand? Or at times when you feel that despite all the tools and resources that are easily available - the goal seems elusive and somewhat inaccessible.
The Magus shows us the driver at the wheel of our designs, plans and projects. It's a crafty little juggler who can help you to understand that coming up with ideas to solve problems or create something new lies on the doorstep of already existing knowledge - the skill we have to develop is to use it imaginatively.
It also poses interesting questions when it appears as a good omen. When we have an urge or a wish which lightens up the hearth of our desires - the ultimate divination symbol in a card when you need to touch an idea that stems from diversified elements.
Trust your instincts and creative assimilation of your experiences to use them in building the design of the change you want to be part of.
There is always a brand new array of skills, resources, way of focusing yourself on your goal that can open new and new doors to a happenstance - or is it something that you have created by your own field of energy? 

Six of swords

Welcome to another episode of Djed Taroth blog. Today we will deal with Six of Swords.

Transitions are part of our lives. However they may be - they are often quite regretful and painful.
Moving forward on from the matters of the past we thought important into the great unknown of the future can bring emotions and feelings not that easy to be dealt with.
Letting go of things and people and energies we were attached to brings reflections upon the nature of our life. How much of an essence is out there in time-related achievements and the fruits of them - material output, our present relations and our situation in general.
Dwelling on the past may not change our beliefs but put us in a stagnant mode where possibilites seem scarce and there is a huge lack of vital forces. Changing our life statement can prove crucial and groundbreaking as we move on ...
There is a platitude saying that in order to solve the problems sometimes the best way is to move away from them. As much as there is a bit of escapism in it there is a grain of truth it in too...
There are certain feelings of collateral nature - you may feel a coward escaping from things, you may feel unworthy of something positive escaping from them - but it's all but a part of a larger construct - a highly judgmental in nature which eventually leads us to a very stagnant point.
Six of swords invites us to a state of a mental clarity where logic and objectivity will allow us to make the transition smoother - from the negative towards more bright light of the New.
Don't be afraid to go this path.

Three of Cups

Welcome to a new episode of our blog and welcome in this beautiful spring time in Northern hemisphere.
Today I will talk about the card that somehow resembles the vitality and the celebration of the Spring season. Three of Cups.
As depicted in the picture - Three Maidens are raising their cups up high joyfully and celebrating. As their arms are raised and connected together we can understand the idea of deep connection through friendship and happiness. The laurel leaves on their heads are symbol of victory and success. When we think of deeper meaning - laurel is also a symbol of protection, peace and purification - a letter from the Universal realm to us. The Letter bringing good tidings - opening us to the sweet happiness and joy.
A collegiate harmonious relationship of friendship, full of support and oneness.
Three of cups usually show how much the harmony in our lives can help us to build strong and healthy relationship with others and our identity. It is also a sign of respite in our daily struggles - it helps to understand how much everything is temporary - and also our problems. The more we look through the idea of a compromise - alignment with our true mission is possible. A positive attitude within ourselves brings it into the outer world and helps to find solutions intuitively through the process of individual reckoning.
Pursuing a creative spirit can help you to achieve that. While your creativity is being stifled you may find it difficult to follow the process and find the balance in things. Don't be dismayed. Three of Cups can both represent three options - the third being out of the duality of the usual discord between the things we pursue and difficulties - the third that represents the door to re-gain what has been lost. The third breath, looking at things outside of what is our usual perspective, re-assesment and re-grouping.
Please ponder on it for a moment while the Spring opens itself to us with our beauty, thank you.

Queen of Pentacles

In our today's blog entry I will talk about a card of the Pentacles minor arcana - namely: The Queen of Pentacles.
As we live our worldly lives - we begin to understand how much being independent is important. It's not only about a stable income but also about the nurturing the ones we love and our household. Finding the balance between the necessity of earning money and looking after ourselves and the loved ones often proves to be very tricky but it's achievable through certain mindset.
This mindset is the belief that we are always abundant and secure to create a peaceful life for ourselves and the ones we provide for. It's about being resourceful and practical in achieving it.
The Queen of Pentacles works on the energy of request. It asks you in finding resources within you or around you to bring the critical situation towards the state of stability.

It's reversed meaning reveals how much consumed you have become in a pursuit of money. It's a request given to you. To re-balance your life and trying to come back to the natural state of prosperity that you can give both to yourself and the loved ones.
Making choices is very important at times when it seems you cannot handle and tackle the situation given by yourself.
The reversed meaning is also about a certain stance towards others. At times it's important to make people understand that they need to be made accountable for what they do and although we try to look after them and use this motherly energy to protect them against their own mistakes - it's not necessarily the best solution. We should encourage them to learn from their own mistakes and experiences
Queen of the Pentacles is an invitation to find the refuge in balance and prosperity. The natural and practical wisdom which keeps us grounded and balanced in this earthly realm we live. Let's make the best of it.

The World

What is fulfillment to you? What does it consist of and what does it stem from?

The 21st and final card of major arcana shows a picture an accomplished female being, a soul filled with joy and a symbol of a perfect realisation.
The World encourages us and invites us to the path of realising our dreams and worldly achievements through the obedience of intellect.
Our intellect can both be a positive, persuasive force to subordinate our fears and anything that drives us away from success or - on the other hand- can be a generator for neurotic illusions - anything that binds fear we hold with the poor quality of our thoughts and in consequence our well-being.
The way we can showcase our egocentricity is not only through being plainly selfish in our desires but also in pursuing our anxieties and anything that holds us back from following the path of the Ultimate Perfection that dwells in our heart.
It's not an Ideal that is unattainable - it's the very picture of ourselves that can actually help us a reference.
The labour of the self-improvement is never an easy way but through it we help others, we join the world of the cosmic egg that is an accord. The accordance with our true nature. 

Judgement

Where does our call stem from? What was the initial problem that led us to the actual fear of failure, the feeling of being unfit for our life situation? What makes our difficulties so hard to comprehend?

Welcome to our next post from djed taroth. Today we will look at the characteristics of the 20th card in Major Arcana - namely The Judgement.
The pictorial aspect of this card clearly refers to the very moment of our birth. As you may know there are several types of psychological therapies that deal with this topic.
In the way tarot understands this important event we can discover the symbolical meaning of transcendental aspect of prompt and finding our vocation, our inner voice through assessment, also reckoning and indeed: a judgement.
You are born to be Goddesses and Gods in your own understanding of it. The difficulties that arise as you are trying to find the individual way to answer your questions may pose a lot of resistance in your psyche when you belittle and underestimate your abilities.
This card helps you to understand how much you have to do to urge yourself to undertake a task of realising your own way in this world.
It's bringing your own Light into the sphere of existence. It happens through trust that not only makes everything possible but also brings this certainty that is so much sought for when you are dwelling on hesitance rather than possibilities.
