Death: Out with the Old, In with the New

The card of the day is DEATH.

Deck used: Morgan Greer Tarot.

The Death card should not be feared; it is a welcome card to see when you are in a state of transition because its appearance indicates that you are working really hard to accept the changes that occurring in your life. How long it takes for these changes to occur with your way of thinking, lifestyle, or with friendships  – I cannot say. I do know that people who no longer serve the person you are TODAY will fall by the wayside, but it will be for the best.

There are two lessons to be learned from the Death card, one lesson is about TRUST, and the second lesson is about ACCEPTANCE. If you trust that your decisions are leading you in the right direction, and accept what is no longer meant to be, you will be able to bring more of your authentic self (spirit, ego, creativity, confidence) into the world.

Exciting stuff, huh?

You might see the Death card appear during any major transition or milestone such as: adolescence to adulthood, marriage, the birth of your first child, during your Saturn Return, buying a new home, stepping into the career you’ve always dreamed of, or any number of other possibilities.

Two of Coins: Taking Creative Risks

The card of the day is the TWO OF COINS.

It’s not every day that you hear someone say that NOW is the time to focus on yourself, but that is the message that I have for you today. It’s time to find a ‘room of one’s own’ and to inquire, explore, examine, and play with the tools that you have at your disposal. By bringing your attention and an exploratory attitude to the many options that are before you, you will learn more about yourself and become a more interesting person to boot. It’s funny how that works – people are always drawn to those individuals who are willing to risk learning something new.

This card encourages you to explore your environment and to make choices in favor of self-improvement and personal growth. It would be great if one or more choices should eventually lead to mastery of a subject, but this should not be the goal at this time.

What have you always wanted to do? Want to learn French? Build a kite? Learn about your family history? What small steps can you make today that will help you realize this goal?
