'9 The Hooded Man' and the '5 of Swords' Retreating To Gain Knowledge and Finding Acceptance

Saturday, December 5th, 2015.  On the way down the elevator, it stopped on the second floor and a neighbour stepped in and in small talk mentioned how far away from Monday that Friday always is and then how Friday ends up being the slowest day of the week where the work day seemingly will not come to an end.  And this is exactly how my Friday turned out...a long slow and drawn out day where minutes barely ticked by...

But then the work day was over after a quick shower a few moments of relaxation we were over after my brother's place for his annual Christmas gathering of friends and family...the family part being me.  It was a well attended evening and the bite size plates of food were delicious and then we were back home by about 10:30pm  Now my brother wants to get together on Christmas Eve...we'll see about where we gather...we're hosting a New Year's Eve gathering so we don't want to host on Christmas Eve...I think a restaurant will have to do.

Yesterday's Tarot Energy is "9 The Hooded Man: The time of the Hooded Man is here.  Whether he appears in the guise of an inner guide and mentor or simply as a state of mind, you will understand that now is a time to withdraw and rest.  After a long journey through the Wildwood, many emotions and experiences need to be absorbed.  This is the beginning of understanding - not just of yourself, but the universe.  The hermit-like Hooded Man appears differently for everyone.  Whether through meditation or solitude in the mountains, through prayer or holidaying in a secluded place, his light will illuminate the way to the heart of the endless cycle of being."




Today's Tarot Energy is “5 of Swords: The Tennis Game.  Being overly competitive.  A game which gets out of hand.  A pattern of always needing to win, or to lose.”







Retreat for solitude and to gain understanding.  And to understand that life is not always about winning or losing.  We can look after our own interests however we should also try to find ways of doing so without negatively affecting others.  Yes, this is sometimes hard to do but we must always strive to lift others up as best we can.  Also, we all have limitations and we need to acknowledge this in our own lives.  And we must also accept the fact that others may know better than us so we need be graciously humble at times as well.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
