Weekly tarot card by Colette for week 16th September 2013. Two ofPentacles This can be a tricky card because in most tarot decks it can be seen as negative but in my working Rohrig deck it is actually an inspirational card with visuals showing hope and potential progress. ( let me digress a minute here to explain…………my book tarot Novice to Pro gives basic meanings based ion the traditional Rider Waite deck. Most folk start learning with this deck and then move onto one which inspires them more and resonates with either their life, out look or beliefs. That is why there are so many tarot decks out there...some better than others. Yet each artist will bring out a side to the card which he ‘sees’, loosely based on the traditional meanings. My working deck is quite a modern deck and it sometimes has extra bad visuals for some cards which the artist has had personal struggle with say, and sometimes ‘milder’ visuals for some he quite likes. This is fair enough and allows us to fully connect with the tarot by finding an artist who resonates with our ways, lives and beliefs. So the meaning I teach in my basic book actually isn’t that close to the meaning I take from my working deck. Confusing? Er yes but as I have matured as a reader I actually prefer my own meanings that have been shown to me by my guide and my subconscious. The Rohrig deck matches this closer than any deck I have ever used. Don’t bother looking for one. The originals are off the market and a used one can be nearly £800 on auction! Mine is dog-eared and will have to last a very long time lol! There is an Argentinian fake which is ok but not as intensely coloured as the original which is also quite a big deck. ) Anyway, back to the two of pentacles or discs for the week ahead. It says the word ‘change ‘on it. And indeed it can bring forces of nature or chaotic winds that bring the need for change and the need to challenge ourselves. Yet it doesn’t do this without the promise of potential good outcomes and progress in any area of life. It shows that we can try to balance life all we like but sometimes the fates just take over and lead us in a new direction or a shown us a new pattern. If we don’t accept change, we can expect chaos. So maybe be a wee bit up for change and challenge this week ahead. Trust in the Universe to take you round any obstacles and also around any people who would bar your way in life. Go with the flow. Work with the weather whether that be physical (gales are coming!) or emotional or mental. Don’t give in. hold onto what you know but not so tightly that you are blind to other potentials or other ways. Life can change in an instant ...for good or for bad. If we accept this we don’t have to fear it. We can trust that we will be ok. I read a saying a few weeks back that is relevant here. I think it said that {a bird doesn’t trust the strength of the branch it sits on. It trusts the strength of its wings If the branch should break}...or something like that. So this week ahead….. Trust your own strength to adjust to change and even invite some into your life. Your wings are stronger than you know! many blessings Colette
