Friday night-and here I am blogging-oh, you know you are envying me the glam life right now!!! Yesterday it appears that the switch was flipped on the Autumn machine here in the Pac NW, and today it was chilly, overcast and showers dripped down every so often. Then there was sunshine, and on my way home this evening I saw a stunning gold aura of sunlight bursting through the clouds as the sun made it's way toward the horizon. MMMM-Fall...though it is not official for another week, I have definately got a couple extra layers on today-or as the Goddess of the Eternal Lava Lamp calls it...Toe-sock weather!
Yesterday was an interesting day, I was walking Leetledog over to our secret field when I found a playing card on the ground. For those of you who do not know, playing cards can be read like tarot cards-hearts are cups, clubs are wands, diamonds are coins, and spades are swords. I picked up the card and it was the Queen of Diamonds (Coins) which happens to be a card associated with fall...and environment. The outdoors speaks to you. She oversees the bounty of the harvest. In timing questions she is about this time of year.
On the way home I took a slightly different route (variety is the spice) and a couple of blocks from the first card, I found a second-the Six of Hearts. In the tarot deck this is the card about sentimental value. Things from your past that are important to you now. Sometimes it means you will hear from someone in your past, or that you need to learn something from your past. I used the two cards as a cover and cross reading which reads that As we step into this season it will be a time for using what we have learned from our past and realizing it's effects on how we receive nature's bounty today.
This is nicely highlighted by Pluto squaring the Virgo Sun tomorrow. This is a fine time to ask yourself whether you are in an appropriate work or life situation. The coming solar eclipse on the 22nd may help shed some illumination on ways to improve your current standing, but you first have to recognize what it is you want to shift. Help is on the way. OM.
