The Tarot Room – Georgianna

When reading cards in a spread, we identify what cards are in what position, and consider how the meanings of those cards relate to their position, and to each other. But before diving into those details, it’s a good idea to stop for a moment and take a quick overview to see if there are any obvious patterns that jump out.

Are there a whole lot of Major cards, or Court cards, or particular suits or numbers? If so, we’ll be wanting to look at those groups especially, or at least use them to feel out the theme of the reading, whatever the details might be.

For example … if within a Tarot spread, the majority of cards are Majors – I’d read that as a situation where bigger energies are playing out and that the person getting the reading might not be as in control of what’s happening as usual. Alternatively, if there are mostly Minor cards in the spread, it’s likely a situation where the querent is more in charge of what’s being described than not.

As another example, let’s say there’s bunch of Swords – or Cups, or Disks, or Wands … if one suit predominates, it’s the energy of that suit that’s playing out most within the spread.

Or maybe there’s a lot of Court Cards … are there a lot of people involved in the situation at hand? Or maybe the querent is acting with many different faces, or in many different roles?

Are there a lot of the same numbers repeating in the spread? How do they relate to the Major cards of that number?

Or, maybe most cards are bigger numbers, ie. 8s, 9s, or 10s, or the later cards in the Majors … is something about the situation ending? Or maybe there are lots of smaller numbers … is something just beginning?

You get the idea … we’re looking for patterns as much as we are the detailed meanings of the cards. The patterns let us see what the spread is talking about, while the individual cards each describe their own piece of that bigger picture.

#10 – Wheel of Fortune

It’s a fantastic day to get going on whatever project (especially a new one) you’ve been thinking about.  Opportunities abound for you to finally move forward with your plan.

Don’t be afraid if you think you can’t do it?  You’ve been spending plenty of time thinking about it.  Look close, you’ll see you have all you need to make it work.

The only thing that will slow you down is doing things the same old way.  Start fresh now.  You’re ready to go.

The Moon moved into Virgo and will be there until Tuesday.

From a Tarot perspective, you might think of this transit as the High Priestess wearing the Hermit’s clothes. She’s putting on her cowl.

The Moon in Virgo, or High Priestess in the Hermit’s clothing, is a time for practical, quiet reflection. Seeking the advice of an expert, and listening carefully to what they have to say could be worthwhile.

Or maybe someone will be asking you for your advice.

Your home is more important now than the outside world. Start thinking how to make it more practical. You might not be ready to do the work just yet, but this is a great time to plan.

Emotionally, it’s a time of calm. Perfect for listening and reflecting rather than acting out in passion. Take your time. There’s no rush.

Study, organization, contemplation, solitude, emotional self-reflection. Don’t be afraid to be alone right now. There’s lot’s to do on your own.

Prince of Disks

It’s a good time to get to work.  Nothing exciting, just keep moving forward step by step.  It’ll go a lot faster now that you’re seriously on your way.

Enjoy this building process.  You’re making steady progress.  If you keep moving like this, you’ll reach your goals soon.

And if you’re feeling a little dull because all you do is work, work and plan for more work, that’s okay.  That’s what the energy is right now and you might as well go with it.

Creating stability is worth the effort.  There’ll be plenty of time for fun soon enough.

#4 – The Emperor

You can expect a day of fiery energy and powerful determination.  In whatever you do today, you’re encouraged to do it with strength and creativity – in fact it would be hard not to.  Within your domain you’re the one in charge, so manifest your will.

What have you been wanting to create in your world?  Start making it really happen!

While you’re encouraged to take your power and run with it, there is a challenge associated with the Emperor.  Remember – not everyone might want to do things your way.  Everyone thinks they’re right.

Sometimes you have to give a little.  If you don’t, don’t be surprised if other people start rearing their own Emperor energy and you’re smack dab in the middle of a fight.

Masculine energy is strongly indicated with the Emperor card and issues surrounding males, especially those in authority are likely during this time.  Stay strong and true and you won’t go wrong.

Mercury has moved into Libra, and will stay there until October 13th.

Looking at this transit from a Tarot perspective, it’s like the Magician is wearing Justice’s clothing. He’s put down his wands and taken up the scales and sword.

Mercury in Libra, or the Magician in Justice’s clothing, can be a time of intellectual clarity, quick decisions, and balanced inspiration.

Use it to make the choices that have seemed cloudy till now. Arguments on both sides should be clearer, and what’s right for you apparent.

Questions of fairness and balance are highlighted, especially within matters of communication, travel, relationships, and the law.

Be inspired, stable and clear, and the world’s ruling will be in your favour.

8 of Wands

Or maybe it will be a surprise. One way or another, the message is on its way and your wait is almost over.  You’ll know soon enough.

Now that your plans are in action, things will start moving quickly.  Communicate what you want and don’t be shy about it.

How else will people know what you’re thinking?  This is the time to get your ideas out there and your message heard.

The Moon moves into Leo today and stays there until Sunday.

Translated into Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is wearing Strength’s clothing. She’s thrown off her heavy cape and is spending some time outside with her lion.

The Moon in Leo, or High Priestess in Strength’s clothing is potentially a time of emotional power. Something beautiful that’s usually under wraps can finally be revealed.

The silence is broken. Quiet wisdom and passion can be united. During this time, it might be difficult to keep your ideas to yourself. But why should you?

Try finding an outlet for plans you’ve been sitting on? This is an opportunity to shine if you’re not over-burdened by self-consciousness.

It might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but letting your wilder side out right now could be positive. The sun isn’t always shining. Take advantage of it when it does.

Page of Cups

Sweetness abounds when the Page of Cups is around.  This is a great day to communicate emotions – enthusiastically and without censor, especially to those you love.

There’s a lightness in the air and the sense that something new could be starting.  And it just might be.

It’s good to remember though, that there’s no need for you to commit to anything serious right now.  It’s still the time of freshness and beginnings.  Becoming heavy now would only dampen what’s still just growing.

Express yourself and let your imagination wander.
