9 20Reading

Hola,

I would like to first speak of the spread I have been using lately. I created this spread a few months ago, slightly prior to an experience at Harmony Park. Inspiration for the layout comes from the band Wookiefoot, as I did my best to recreate a foot with 6 toes to symbolize the band logo.

Beginning with the Queen of Pentacles in our first card draw, we have our 'past' or previous experiences position. Court cards can often be representations of actual people or beings in one's life. This Queen could be your own personality trait, or someone in particular from the past. The Pentacles, an earthly attributed suit, shows us practicality and materialistic properties. A queen broadcasts motherly attributes with the act of nourishment. Together, this card could be viewed as someone who has significantly helped accomplish / gain physical feats. Perhaps friends or family who have assisted in the three dimensional world play an important role in the given situation or topic at hand.

Moving on with this material world sense, we have The Devil. The card positioning shows mental influence. This might hold some sort of perceptional "conflict". The Devil portrays this act of materialistic bondage and lust. Often this card symbolizes actions, behavior or events that are opposing to one's interest. You may be in a certain lifestyle that does not fulfill self desires. Self evaluation of the forces in your life that harness most of your energy might be necessary.

The Three of Cups holds down the outside influence category. We see a much happier imagery. Environmental surroundings, or, other's perceptions, allows me to use personal examples quite easily. The Three of Cups can be represented by spontaneous, joyous events. This sudden act of committing to the Tarot Reading brings me a state of ease and happiness. Others around you might also greatly cherish your interactions, perhaps on a level you may be unaware of. I always truly enjoyed leaving 'conversations' or any type of writing between us with the fact that I just felt generally more intelligent or open minded. These small or sudden interactions can really be blissful for those around you.

With card 4, we have the present moment, situation, or current experience. Our transition into the Three of Swords tells of sorrow or pain. This card, more specifically, represents that pain caused from knowledge or information. Certain words or witnessed events might instill a state of depression or emotional blockage that the rational brain may have trouble conquering. Many things are not easily forgotten or moved on from, but the future always holds random, chaotic events that can change courses very quickly as we see in card 7 and the Wheel.

Strength falls in the expressions / behavioral positioning. Your actions hold that determination and caring / kind nature to those around you. Maybe the Three of Swords or the recent experiences have been hardships, but your behavior expresses the idea that you are strong enough to push through. To care for others might not be universal but to some degree, you have and continue to nourish your surroundings. People can appreciate these 3 of Cups moments.

The big toe, card 6, illustrates aspirations or personal goals. Another Queen, but this time we have the suit of Wands. Instilling creative spark in others might be the best description. Hoping to help not only yourself, but others to follow their 'freewill' establishes a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Any type of writing that may inspire, or allow one to follow / see passion would be a Queen of Wands characteristic. I have always believed you accepted my Tarot practice because you have some sort of understanding that doing so allows me to feel my passion. Perhaps you 'digest' my words, or perhaps you just want to see someone inspired to create. Thank you for this.

Concluding the 7 card spread with our 'foot of destiny', we see the minor "clairvoyance" in what the future may hold. The Wheel of Fortune embodies the chaos of natural events. The series of changes may be extreme or subtle and slowly or quickly, but it does happen. Luck may or may not have been on your side in the past, but the future does not take this into consideration. The opportunities constantly change and it will remain a personal issue to battle or enjoy life's events.

In terms of a 'curse' I would say the card easily noticeable is The Devil but I am not convinced any outside influence has placed it on you. I would backup the theory with The Wheel being the future and representing the idea that randomness will occur. Even if a path may feel predestined, things can change so suddenly. The Strength expression related with the present moment of Three of Swords does appear discomforting as helping others, or obtaining information might not always result in the best manner. Try not to ignore the 3 of Cups joyous moments that others may feel in your presence. The Queen of Pentacles resourcefulness from the past will eventually lead to the desired state of the Queen of Wands inspiration builder.

Have faith future change can be viewed optimistically and lead to a state of harmony and bliss. =)
