Future Tarot

Sometimes in tarot, cards leap out of the deck as we shuffle. I barely got a chance to shuffle my Hanson-Roberts deck this evening when the Six of Swords escaped.

I recall this card coming up in several readings last week… which could point to a universal trend or a particular message the card has for me, as the reader. This happens sometimes. It is not that the card isn’t meant for the querent, per se — it fits their situation well — but often when I see a card show up time and again in readings, it has a message for the reader, too.

Before I discuss my personal connection with the card, however, let’s explore the universal implications.

Universal Implications
After the full moon last Monday, we now see a waning moon, with a new moon on the 16th. Many people believe in a phenomenon called “Full moon madness.” Some hospitals report more accidents (and deaths) and, of course, mythology is steeped in lore about the full moon and creatures like werewolves.

Here at Future-tarot, we do not subscribe to superstitions and we believe we create our own destiny. However, we also believe in the Law of Attraction. If so many people in the world believe strange things happen when the moon is full — could those universal beliefs not make it so? The energy people put into worrying about a full moon transforms into negative energy, and strange things do happen (or perhaps we are just more attuned to them.)

So… let’s breathe a sigh of relief and say the full moon is over. Not only that, our friend the Six of Swords, in his boat as he rows toward shore, tells us we are escaping our problems and traveling toward something better.

We welcome fall, a new season, the harvest, and the coming happy holidays — filled with expectations of parties, time with family, love, peace and happiness. (Right? That’s what we all expect of the holidays, isn’t it??? Are you with me here?)

On a Personal Note

As I move into the next phase of my personal and career transformation through The Secret Abundance Files, I can attest to a definite sense of moving toward something better.

I’ve been on this self-improvement journey since June, however. I think this card is reminding me that life is a constant journey. Or, as Miley Cyrus so eloquently puts it: “Ain’t about how fast I get there / Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side / It’s the climb…”

May there be many more Six of Swords moments in your own future as you always move toward better, brighter, more fruitful shores.
