Choose Awakening ~ Tarot for 11 Dec 2016

Cups, Swords, and a card from the Major Arcana are present in today’s tarot reading. The numerology is 4, 19, and 6 reducing to 11, or the Master number for illumination. The 4 of Cups, The Sun, and the 6 of Swords bring energies of Fire, Water and Air to today’s influences.

In the 4 of Cups, we see a young man sitting with his back against a tree, his focus on three empty cups in front of him. A cup is offered, but he doesn’t seem aware of that gift. The young man sits bereft, wrapped up in his own emotional state unable to feel anything else.

But the The Sun appears and the light returns to the young man. Not all is lost and the birth of something new is on the horizon. Success and happiness abounds as we see a young child, smiling and free, on horseback, a field of sunflowers in full bloom behind the rock wall. Inspiration and clarity return with the promise of material happiness at hand.

The other aspect of The Sun is awakening, not just of self but of humanity. The 19th card of the Major Arcana, its numerology is 1, or new beginnings, unity, and inner development. Our personal power is shining forth when this card appears in a reading.

And then we see the 6 of Swords, the young man, his wife, and their child are in a boat, moving toward a new life. Four of the six swords stand together in front of the family with the remaining two on the verge of joining them. Many options are available and coalescing before them. He’s resolved whatever concerns he has and is ready to begin a new journey to a new home, or perhaps with The Sun appearing just before, it reflects a journey toward awakening.

It’s so easy to lose our perspective when emotions are involved. And while it’s understandable that this happens, we must be ever mindful that we can always choose another viewpoint. We give everything we experience the meaning it has, so we can choose another meaning, another vision.

Today’s reading suggests a change in focus to one of awakening. As we align in Source Presence, the clarity we gain unfolds into new possibility. We’re being given an opportunity to see clearly the dark forces before us, and to make an awakened choice. It’s where we place our focus that determines the outcome. A focus on awakening raises the collective vibration of all and the dark forces in question will have no real or lasting effect.

Blessings to all!
