"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

Tarot For The Week








Tarot reading for the week of September 24-30 2011





Covers - the five of swords




Crosses - the ace of swords




Beneath - The magician




Tthe influence just passing away - 9 of pentacles reversed




Crowning - The knight of swords




Before - The sun




What I'm feeling - the king of cups.


What others see - The heirophant reversed.


What I wish - The six of swords


Final outcome - The emperor reversed.





Upon first reading, the main thrust seems to be that I can fritter away my energy on petty squabbles and pointless worries, or direct the energy into positive action. There is a chance for both according to these cards, but the final card indicates that I may come up against authority and pressure to conform and so end up too weak to channel it properly. Whatever the case, we shall see next week.




Update - October1st 2011




As much as I tried to avoid the feelings of defeat indicated by the five of swords and escape the battle wounds indicated by the reversed emperor, the tension was much too much and the end of the week has been a difficult time. I do feel significant pressure to conform and do the right thing but often fail at doing just that. Alas.
