The 4 of Swords and Taking Some to Assess

Tuesday, May 27th, 2014.  I had a lousy sleep last night and I was dragging all morning, making mistakes at work that I should have caught before I made them.  My phone rang around midnight and after that I did not sleep soundly at all—awaking every hour on the hour so it seemed.  Then I had a very vivid dream where I was talking with someone on a bus or train I thought was someone I worked with in the past but when he moved to the seat behind it was blend of three different people in my life-an office manager, a roommate, and my partner.  He appeared to be in costume and was wearing a lot of stage make-up and had a moustache and goatee.  In the midst of this dream the alarm sounded.

I awoke and got on with my day.  Oh, I’m also trying to do some chakra work as I fall asleep, last night working with my base chakra.  I also upon awaking somewhat throughout the night commune with Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “4 of Swords: Napping Between Rehearsals.  Resting and gathering strength for the next phase.  A vacation or “time out”.”

I know that the underlying message of this card is that I’m still being hemmed in and stopped from moving forward because of my past. I need to dissolve my past and move beyond it.  At the same time I need to find and/or create “me” space.  I need some serious alone and contemplation time.

I also discovered upon further reading and reflection about the “4 of Swords” that my research about a certain yet to be revealed career path is “right on the money”.  As I read about the “4 of Swords” I knew in an instant that tightening up my plans for the not so distant future by incorporating some training around this career path that speaks so loudly to me will fulfill my purpose and allow me to realize my goals, dreams, and aspirations.

As I read about this career thoughts about a late summer/early fall vacation came to mind in the sense that the vacation was my down time between the job I have now and my new career as a Tarot Professional and all the potential that this career opens up before me.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
