The 5 of Cups and XII The Hanged Man

Friday, October 10th, 2014.  So a couple of days have passed us by or almost as there is still five hours of Friday left to enjoy.

Yesterday was a super busy day at work and as much as I was looking forward to simply coming home to crash we agreed to meet a friend for dinner.  As is in most cases, dinner was good and the conversation was great.  We chatted for a couple of hours at The Reef on Main Street in Vancouver.  We arrive back home around 9:30 or so.

Yesterday’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Cups: The Aftermath.  Regret over past actions.”  As well I took notice of “XI Strength: Directing your passions, rather than suppressing them, is the key.  Finding healthy outlets for powerful energies.”

The “5 of Cups” surprises me when it drops by for a visit but then I always come to an understanding of why it shows up as it reminds me to be on the lookout for and to do my best to avoid making rash decisions of get stuck in a doubtful way of thinking.  And then it’s also reminding me that better things are always around the corner.  Additionally, if I’m directing my passions I’m less likely to do things I regret later.

Today was a much better day than yesterday, quiet yet comfortably busy and a nice quite simple end to the work day.  I’m glad as I lay awake for about an hour and a half last night and awoke feeling a bit tired.  In fact, the alarm awoke me and as I rolled for a second I almost fell back to sleep.

Today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XII The Hanged Man: Living in the moment.  Being fully absorbed in the present.  Nonattachment to goals.  Seeing things from a new angle.”

Not knowing is okay and I’m finally accepting this fact of my life.  I don’t know everything and I acknowledge this and surrender to the loving presence, guidance, and comfort of Spirit in my life.  I need a alone day, a quiet day where I can get away from it all and simply “be”.  A good dose of nature therapy will do me just fine.

Not knowing and admitting that we do not often illuminates fresh new insights that allow us to move in a new direction with confidence as is revealed by another card today that caught my attention, the “2 of Wands: Confidence. Being the king of your castle. Preparing the ground for a new venture. The dawn of an adventure.”

I do have more smarts than I give myself credit especially in relation to the new direction I wish to go.  In fact, it’s not really a new direction at all as I given thought to many times over the past years, if not over the past ten or fifteen years or even slightly longer.  I simply need to believe in myself and allow my natural talents and confidence to shine through as we all should.

Today is still here so I’m going to end here and get on with enjoying the rest of this fine day.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
