Tarot Tuesday #2

Check out this site for a better overview/intro to Tarot than I could (or want to) write.

We'll start next week with a card from the lessons, but for now, let's do my weekly tarot meditation. This is a card I pull; just one - - no big, involved reading, as a sort of focus. If I meditate on the card a couple of times a week, think about the imagery and meanings and number, usually it goves me some guidance. Sometimes it's a kind of "Ah ha!!" moment, but more often it's something I need to look at in my life, personality or spirit for my personal growth or self understanding.
Today's pull is:

Two of Pentacles (aka: Coins)
Pentacles are the suit dealing with the physical/material world.
* JUGGLING
* FLEXIBILITY
* FUN


juggling
keeping everything in balance
coping with demands
getting people to work together
making sure all areas are covered
having a lot of irons in the fire
moving forward smoothly
emphasizing all aspects equally

being flexible
adapting quickly
feeling free to try new approaches
going with the flow

refusing to let change throw you
opening to developments
seeing the possibilities
handling challenges
changing directions easily


having fun
doing something you enjoy
getting a kick out of life
taking time to play
feeling in high spirits
whistling while you work
seeing the humor in the situation
kicking back


This is actually a pretty relevent card for me, (you may not remember; but I do) - that it came up in last tuesday's reading.
It's pretty much a constant lesson for me. I get too caught up in work and taking care of everything and everybody and end up overwhelmed and stressed (and ultimately sick. Fibromyalgia is like that. It kicks your butt if you don't manage and balance and "juggle" carefully)
I'll put this card up where I will see it several times a day. I'll try to take a moment each time I see it to remember what it means and how I can apply it in my life today.

Oh, sort of like following rule 62.

Fibro is odd: one minute I think I'm just hunky dory, and then someone walks by me overly perfumed with some cheap, heavy scent, and I'm suddenly nauseated and in pain. What's that about?

But the meditation is terrific.

Thanks, Diva! I know what you mean about the perfume. I have always had a sensitivity to scent. Artificial rose is the worst. It can trigger me, too. Also any of my food sensitivities. So many things can trigger FMS pain.
