Sweet Nostalgia

Six of Cups Radiant Rider Waite Tarot

Probably the sweetest card in the tarot deck, the 6 of Cups comes along to remind us of childhood innocence and those lazy days of summer when daydreams that were caught in mason jars with fireflies lit up our hearts and the night.

When the 6 of Cups enters your spread, you may be running into someone from your past. Whether friend or lover, you may have an opportunity to rekindle the magic.

The 6 of Cups can indicate children will play a large role in your life at this time, or childhood memories are triggered by present-day circumstances. If this happens, you’re being asked to recover and deal with old memories that are causing conflict in your life at this time.

Wish Upon a Star

The Star from the Radiant Rider Waite tarot deck.

A very positive card, the Star represents hope, protection, promise, joy, inspiration, good fortune and spiritual happiness.

Also a card of wish fulfillment, the Star shows up in your reading to indicate you can have your wish.

Often, when you are feeling attacked or things seem tough, the Star comes along to remind you that up in the night sky, among a thousand twinkling lights, your guardian angel is watching over you — protecting you, loving you and guiding you.

The major arcana card for Aquarius, which is the sign most closely associated with astrologers and astronomers, the Star card also suggests it might be a good time to consult your horoscope.

The World from the Radiant Rider Waite

Something has reached its natural conclusion when The World shows up in your reading.

The last card in the major arcana, The World represents the end of one cycle, but the circular wreath surrounding the woman hints at the continuity of life. As one cycle ends, another begins almost immediately.

Since The World can mean you have successfully reached a goal, don’t forget to celebrate before moving on to the next one.

Daily Tarot: “Walking Away”

Oct. 1, 2020

7 of Swords from the Radiant Rider Waite Tarot Deck.

A card of stealth and doing the unexpected, the 7 of Swords enters your spread when it’s time to take your leave.

Sometimes, when the 7 of Swords appears, you’re walking away from a situation that has turned into a three-ring circus (work, family situation, baby daddy drama).

Have you done something you feel uneasy about? Is someone trying to pull something over on you? Unfortunately, the card can mean there is underhanded, deceptive or sneaky behaviors going on around you, or you yourself, may have been behaving in this way.

Whatever the situation, you will move on. But, notice, as the man skulks away, he carries some of the swords with him. Clearly, he has issues to work on too, so he must take some responsibility for what has happened.

The 10 of Wands from the Radiant Rider Waite Tarot

Burdens are heavy when the 10 of Wands enters your spread.

Have you taken on too much? Are work and family obligations wearing your down?

Usually, the 10 of Wands says you have taken on too much, but unfortunately, the only way out is through. Because you’ve taken it all on, you can’t lay them down and you can’t pass them on to someone else.

The good news is that 10s are endings and beginnings at the same time. That means you will have this last push to get through your obligations you have taken on. And, as you begin again, you will look for more balance in your life. You will have learned to delegate where you can and when to say no.

When The Lovers enter your spread, you will be faced with a decision regarding love. In essence, The Lovers is about choice.

The decision could be between two people you love. It could be between something you love and something else, or it could be between someone you love and something else.

The Lovers can bring a sexual adventure into your life, usually after a dilemma. Is the person you’re attracted to involved with someone else? Are you involved with someone else?

The Lovers card asks you to consider carefully the ramifications of a major decision. before making a final commitment.

When The Lovers card shows up in your reading, you are usually thinking about a commitment, marriage or partnership, the card is telling you to be certain before investing your heart, time and energy long-term.

Aces are always new beginnings on offer from the divine, spirit, God — whatever higher being you believe in.

The Moon from The Herbal Tarot by Michael Tierra and Candis Cantin.

Like strolling down a moonlit path on a sultry summer evening, you’re surrounded by things you cannot see when the Moon card shows up in your reading.

Is that a harmless lizard slinking through the dunes or a venom-filled scorpion lurking in the shadows? It is so very hard to tell on the dimly lit path.

Things are going on beneath the surface, and you are left completely in the dark when the Moon enters your reading. Is someone deceiving you? Are you deceiving yourself? The Moon warns of lies, dishonesty, confusion, peril, self-deception and, sometimes, moonlit fantasy. What we see in moonlight will look different in the light of day.

Because you cannot see who or what may be plotting against you, trust your intuition and use your instincts while travelling down the moonlit path. Trust that in the morning, when the sun peeks over the horizon, you will find you are on the right path and heading in the right direction.

As you move forward, pay attention to your dreams, feelings and hunches. And also, be aware of influences buried in the past that might be affecting your current situation.
