Learning and Enjoying the Tarot

On Monday and Tuesday October 5th and 6th I forgot to work with the Tarot so I chose 0 The Fool as the Card of the Day for both of these days as it seemed quite fitting for how these days played out.  On the morning of the 7th I returned to working with the Tarot and as I shuffled the cards and cut the deck my thoughts were with the elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and also Spirit and the card that came out on top was 0 The Fool.  Later in the evening of the 7th I again returned to the cards and the 2 of Cups came out on top.  This card is labeled "The Dialogue", a balanced relationship; being able to see things from the other's perspective.

The Thanksgiving long weekend saw us driving home to my family to celebrate the day.  On Sunday, October 10th I was able to work with the cards and VII The Chariot appeared, "Among the highs and lows of life, make sure to enjoy you enjoy the highs".

After arriving back home on Monday evening I shuffled the cards and XIII Death appeared, seeing this card startled me for a few moments but I understood the meaning of the card soon after, the card has a subheading of "Endings and Beginnings".

Much time passed again and it was not until Sunday, October 17th that I returned to working with the Tarot.  The card this day was the "Man of Cups", an emotional adventurer.  On the 18th the Youth of Cups made another appearance, youthful emotions.  The 19th had the 9 of Cups making an appearance, "Serendipity".  On this day I also caught a glimpse of XII The Hanged Man so I added this to this day as well and the Hanged Man represents "Living in the moment".  On the 20th I shuffled the cards and cut the deck and XII The Hanged Man was out again.

Last night, the 21st, saw the 9 of Swords appear, "Unquiet dreams".

As I reflect on each the card that reveals itself whether as a randomly selected card or I card I actually choose I am learning something from each of these cards as they appear individually and from the story they are unfolding before me when I allow them all to come together.  The Tarot is an amazing gift to have in my life and I am ever so thankful and grateful for the learning and enjoyment that it has brough to my life.
