For an unknown reason I decided to grab my tarot card in the evening right before getting ready for bed. I haven’t reached for my tarot cards in a really long time but this night it felt right to just pick them up again.
I shuffeld the cards as I would normally do and decided I would do my go-to 3 card spread. The past, present, future spread. As the simplicity of the spread suggests you pick 3 cards. One representing the past, one representing the present and one repesenting the future.
The 3 cards that showed up were: X – The Wheel, XII – The Hanged Man and XX – Judgement. Three of the major arcana.
And these cards fit so well with how I’m feeling in this moment and the desisions I’m making and want to make.
Meaning: The Wheel of Fortune – Destiny – the weaving of life’s threads coming together, fate, turning points, movement and change, patterns and cycles, an interconnected world. The knotwork in the stained glass window circles around the wheel as a single golden thread without start or finish. The rise and fall of the wheel as it turns is as the changes of life. If the world seems tob e closing in and crushing hope wit hits weight, step back to see the bigger picture and the upturn that is soon to come.
Meaning: Letting go and surrendering to experience and emotional release. Accepting what is, and giving up control. Suspending action. Sacrifice. As Odin hung upon the World Tree, Yggdrasil, in his quest for knowledge, thus to attain the greatest rewards, one must be willing to give up the self. The Hanged Man also urges you to reserve your view of the world and see things in a new light. Sometimes a change in one’s perception of the world is required, a subtle shifting of the state of mind.
Meaning: Release and renewal, absolution the freshness of a new dawn, a new start. Making a judgement, though it might be harsh and difficult to face; the necessity of had choices. Face down those decisions, recognize the need, and forgive. Reawakening, the mystery of birth and death. The voice of destiny summons you onward. Hearing the undeniable call and being drawn to act upon it; knowing what must be done.
