Moving Through The Path of the Tunnel
She walks slowly, attentively through the door. She looks side to side as she glances around the room. This woman appears to be in her mid to late twenties, wearing a dark, long sleeved top with black loose fitting jeans, Her feet covered by her black boots, Her earrings dangling from her ears, uncovered by her short, blonde hair.. She asks me wearily, " Can I get a Tarot reading? "
" Yes" I reply, " How much do you want to spend?" as I gesture for her to sit opposite me at the table. She pulls out the chair and sits down and tells me, " I would like a 30 minute reading, I am looking for details that allow me to move ahead on my journey"
"A Thirty Minute reading will be Fifty-five dollars. Do you have a particular question or something you want to know about? "
Trudy opens her purse and removes some money and hands me Sixty dollars, as I go to give her five dollars back she waves it away and tells me to keep it.. In my mind I tell myself to give her an extra couple of cards that may be helpful for her journey.
" I want to know about many areas of my life, especially my concerns about work , finances and my current relationship with my family and my partner."
"What is your name? Before I begin."
"Trudy"
"Ok, Trudy, My name is Esmeralda. Let me grab several decks and let's focus on what is of value to you right now " I reply.
I grabbed my Rider Tarot Deck and shuffled the deck focusing on Trudy, her question regarding the topics. I turned over a card from the deck, the first card in the centre of the table is the ten of Cups, the card that crosses it the six of cups, below 4 of pentacles, above the Ace of Swords, to the left 4 of swords, To the right The Star, Continuing on the right moving from the bottom to the top The Hermit, 6 of Swords, Temperance, 5 of cups.
I begin by explaining the cards and their meanings, bringing the cards together for Trudy.
" The Ten Of cups speak of your dreams, goals, are emotionally based as they come together with family in a sense of unity, wholeness. This is the heart of what you desire, a sense of family unity and am influenced by past memories. 6 of Cups reminds us that we are connected to the past, we can find ourselves being nostalgia. The Foundation of your path, asks what are you holding on to? It appears that you may find yourself holding onto something that does not serve you well. Above - You may find yourself trying to find clarity, removing the confusion, a sense of fogginess, bringing new beginnings to your ideas, your plans.. In the past you are reminded to take time out, to rest and review what you want in your lilfe... In the immediate future there is a sense of wishes coming into fruition, wish fulfilled. A light shining within you, radiating from you. You may find yourself in isolation, meditating what is where you want to be, Do you find yourself reflecting on what was? Contemplating what could be? You may be influenced by the shifting thoughts of others , be aware of how you react as others change their minds about situations.. You may need to make sure you are not excessive in your emotions , you bring your actions inwards. for reflection. A need to bring transformation into your life through moderation in all areas of your life..
The results come from deciding on what you are focusing ? There are some things in life you can not control , while some things are frustrating there are something you can change in your life.. While we look at the cards as a whole we find this situation being emotional , there is a need for careful thinking and analyzing your life on a whole. There does appear to be a lack of creativity, a lack of passion, no energy to your life. Your career, your work is an emotional subject for you, But it feels as though you are holding tight onto something that you may need to find a way to release, let go .
Are there any questions you want to ask? "
Trudy tells me, " Yes , I find myself unbalanced with work and play, even though I love my job I find my hours can get long if I don't eat or take a break. I am holding on to the need to work the hours to earn. The past memories of family gives me the desire to have a family reunion.. I want to have my wishes, dreams coming into fruition. I know I need to do lots of reflection and contemplation with things currently with my partner, there are some things I really need to look at seriously. I find this reading helpful and insightful at this time. How can I continue moving ahead in different areas of my life?"
I pick up the Enchanted Map Oracle, shuffling the cards thinking about What does Trudy need to know about Work/ Career? I turn over Movement and Mountain.
" In relation to work there may be some challenges, some blocks to moving ahead within the work area of your life, there may be a need to overcome these challenges , to move through these with confidence."
Next I turn over Metamorphosis and Deep freeze after focusing on Trudy's finances, choosing the cards from within the deck. I speak of transformations being frozen, stuck. being unable to grow financially at this time .. There is a need to find a way to put a little aside when Trudy can. remind her that she is able to make the changes she needs to with a little help from another , who she can trust.
Next I focus on Family, I reshuffle the cards, two cards stand out of the deck, I turn over Dragon's Lair and Magical Shapeshifter, " know your family is protected from outside influences and move in the direction you all wish for, there is a a sense of being pushed into the right direction if only you all listen, be on the same page."
Trudy tells me that " Yes, I want all of us to be on the same page, and hope for us to come together , to forgive and be able to move forward. "
Next I continue to Shuffle as I focus on Trudy and her partner a card jumps high out of the deck , falling on the ground. I pick it up and turn the card over, Gentle Gardener.
"Your partner is gentle, kind Soul.. they are caring and thinking of you often. " I next flick Encouragement onto the table. " They are encouraging to you, wanting you to succeed in your life."
" Yes , my partner is loving and gentle, I do love them very much and want to move forward, What do I need to do to keep this relationship moving forward? "
I pick up the Romantic Tarot and shuffle it focusing on the question relating to What Trudy can do keep the relationship moving forward? In the middle of the deck I pull a card Knave of Swords.
"This reminds us to communicate clearly, seek the truth, find a way to see the truth of the relationship."
Next card I look at is the King of Cups -" This shows a guy who is kind, caring but may not show all of his emotions. It also reminds you to be practical in the emotional issues. To dream big within the relationship. "
One more card to flip over and lay down. Queen of Coins , "This card can remind us to be practical as you nurture health of the relationship, stay grounded to clear the mind. Be organized to declutter all aspects of your life."
