Tarot Mystery School - PRINCE OF WANDS for 9/6/09

Card for 9/6/09:
Prince of wands

Deck:
THE DRUIDCRAFT TAROT

Deck Creators:

Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm, Will Worthington

Traditional Tarot Equivalent:
The Knight of Wands

 

MoonCoach Phase for today:

Waning Full Moon

MoonCoach Sign for today:

Aries

Silvia Pancaro's interpretation and suggestion for the day:

Today we can connect with our Inner 'Prince of Wands' referred to in the traditional deck as the Knight of Wands. In the suit of Fire, as we know from The Elements of Alchemy, we work with creativity, passion and the Spark of Divine Inspiration. Just as a couple of days ago when we received the The 'Server (Page) of Wands' we are invited again to 'play with Fire." The Prince continues to carry the Torch forward, having had it handed off to him by the Server of Fire (Page of Wands). However, with this card, we are asked to be more direct and action-oriented in our approach to expressing creativity, passion and vital life force energy. The Prince (or Knight) of Wands (Fire) is really about getting a move on forward with our goals and intentions. Today we may find that we have an extra boost of energy to 'take charge' and move forward. Our Prince is seeing here galloping freely over green hills, Staff in hand, riding his brave steed, under bright blue skies, towards some desired destination.


Where do you want to go today? Is there any project you want to start? Do you have an idea that has been itching for expression? Call in your Inner Prince of Wands as an Ally today and get a move on!!


Additionally, with the Moon in Aries, we may consider this to be auspiciously aligned with the Element of Fire, since Aries is the first of the Fire Signs (really the first sign in the entire Zodiacal Wheel). So, even if the Moon is technically in her Waning (diminishing of Light) half, since we are still within the window of the Full Moon energy, we can capitalize on the energy of illumination She is giving us. It may not be the wild enthusiastic energy of a Waxing (growing in Light) Aries Moon, so I would say that perhaps if there is something you want to work with, it could be an idea or project or desire that you may have started awhile back, and there's enough energy today to get it re-invigorated. 


And that 'project' could be YOU! Go for a jog this morning! Or some other physical activity that will run new vital energy through your body. Or it could simply be a matter of reading something exciting that inspires you enough to set new goals for yourself (remember to start them at the next New Moon, as outlined in my Moon Coaching Program!). In any case, there's a fiery glow about today between this card and the Aries Moon, that we would do well to align with! Carpe Diem!!!

Divinatory Meaning from The Druidcraft Tarot book:

"The Prince Cards keywords are:  Action, impulse to serve, journeys. The Princes (sometimes called Knights in other decks) symbolize movement, action and the dawning development of responsibility to others - a social conscious...When indicating people, they may represent adolescents or young adults. The Princes are all seated on horses to signify that they stand for movement and action in the world.

The Prince of Wands is full of enthusiasm and energy. He loves to initiate projects and to have ideas, but he has trouble completing them - his eagerness is greater than his commitment to seeing things through....his social conscience may spur him to act the revolutionary or rebel..."

Tarot Mystery School - WOMB for 9/5/09

Card for 9/4/09:
WOMB

Deck:
WAKING THE WILD SPIRIT TAROT

Deck Creators:

Poppy  Palin

Traditional Tarot Equivalent:
6 of Cups
 

MoonCoach Phase for today:

Waning - Full Moon

MoonCoach Sign for today:

Pisces

Silvia Pancaro's interpretation and suggestion for the day:

Today... we can connect with our 'Womb' referred to in the traditional deck as the 6 of Cups. In the suit of Water, as we know from The Elements of Alchemy, we work with our emotions. The 'Womb' therefore invites us to connect with that part of us that feels nurtured, sustained and held in the unconditional love of the Great Cosmic Womb. There is a purity to this image, as also in the original 6 of Cups image, which inspires us to return to our innate Innocence, where we felt totally trusting of the Universe's abiltity to respond to our needs. Here we see a baby, almost ready to be birthed, connected to the Spiral-Umbilical Cord that appears to come from the Earth Herself. 

This Cosmic Child is just in front of the Cave's Opening - perhaps the Earthly Vaginal Opening? Might this be telling us to spend time today connecting with our pre-birth memories? Might the focus for us be to simply return to a time when we floated in the Amniotic Waters of the Great Mother, pre-dating our current personality's life? 

There is a richness to the very soil in this Womb, as depicted by the little crawling creatures, which help to create the fertile ground within which we may develop to fullness. Caves are sacred to the Goddess-to the Great Mother, and so it is that in connecting with our Innate Innocence, we may re-establish a direct line of contact with the nurturing and life-supporting aspects of the Universe.


Just beyond the Cave, we see bright green grass, and the Sun rising. This would be again a reference to Imminent Birth, and connecting us to the Soul-ar/Solar aspect of our own Divinity. First we develop as a Divine Seedling in The Great Mother's Womb, and then we are birthed into our current reality as a Cosmic Child, radiating the Light & Brilliance of the Sun. To me, this brings to mind that we are always at option regarding whether to Live and Experience our Reality, from our Vibrational Core Essence, or live out of balance and off Center.


Considering the original 6 of cups as well, I would add that we may benefit from watching Children today. They are our Teachers and can show us the way back Home...back to our own Innocence. Allow them to share their Re-member-ed Wisdom with you. They hold the Golden Cups of Unconditional TRUST, so it is also our duty to help them to keep that beautiful quality intact.


The Moon is now in her Waning Semi-Cycle, although we technically can still work with her Full Phase. She is still in Pisces, the Zodiacal Sign I call the Great Cosmic Dreamer - the One who through having walked in every other Sign's shoes, holds Compassion for the tribulations and joys of each one's experience. So, the Moon is traveling in the 12th and final in the Zodiacal sequence, and therefore is at a completion...and the Full Moon in a manner of speaking is also the completion (that of the Waxing cycle), or the CULMINATION, of all that we have focused on for the past 2 weeks since beginning the current Lunar Month in Leo. Have you seen the results of all your efforts? If not, you may still acknowledge and celebrate what you have accomplished thus far...even if it doesn't quite match your original 'picture.'


Combining this card with today's lunar phase and sign, I would add that we may feel very 'watery' today - and that is ok. It's good to feel our emotions - we often stuff our not-so-great feelings, and we also forget to celebrate the really wonderful emotions! So, give yourself permission to enter into your Watery Depths - and speak to The Great Mother...let her know all your emotions (S/He knows anyways), and process within the safety of her Unconditional Love. Additionally, I feel that the 12 Sign plus its correlating 12th house, is the Ultimate Cosmic Womb - the Return Home, to where we can melt all our  personality stuff, and just float in Deep Space...before having to make our way 'out' into the World again (in Aries, the 1st sign which begins the Zodiacal Sequence anew). 


So, spend some time today, just BEING - just FLOATING - in the COSMIC WOMB - in the PISCES realm of Dreams, Hope, Communion with Spirit, and Total Surrender.

Divinatory Meaning from Stories of the Wild Spirit book:

"I am the potentiality of new being, floating serene and held by the Earth herself, deep underground in the well of creation. I am part of the process, the procession of life that takes us from womb to tomb, through living to being, suspended in time, waiting for rebirth. I am the child of the Cycles of Life. I know my other Self, the Death Crone, and I embrace the stages of my Being with love. Each time the pattern is repeated, there is fresh hope, new joy, emotional resurgence, and spiritual renewal. I am the one who reveals the rhythms to you - my heartbeat pulsing int the amniotic fluids of the Earth, my life force restored to a throb of energy, felt vibrating through the land, making waves on the water. I am Divine Repetition, and endless rippling effect. Feel me in the menstrual cycle and in the accompanying moon-phases."

Tarot Mystery School - TRANSMITTER OF LIGHT for 9/4/09

Card for 9/4/09:
TRANSMITTER OF LIGHT (Server of Wands)

Deck:
THE TAROT OF TRANSFORMATION

Deck Creators:

Willow Arlenea and Jasmin Lee Cori

Traditional Tarot Equivalent:
The Page of Wands

 

MoonCoach Phase for today:

Full Moon

MoonCoach Sign for today:

Pisces

Silvia Pancaro's interpretation and suggestion for the day:

Today... we can connect with our 'Transmitter of Light' referred to in the traditional deck as the Page of Wands. In the suit of Fire, as we know from The Elements of Alchemy, we work with creativity, passion and the Spark of Divine Inspiration. The 'Server of Wands' therefore invites us to play the role, in our life/world, as a creative being in CONSCIOUS service to the Divine. If you are familiar with the Rider-Waite deck, you will recall the image of a young page, standing in the Egyptian dessert, holding his/her Staff of Power, in front of the Great Pyramids, revealing the Page's Initiatory Journey into the Mysteries of Creation. In this deck, we see a Fire Being, joyously expressing vitality and color, and taking in the Radiance of a White Sun (=the Spiritual Sun). So, we are invited today to bask in the Wisdom of our Inner Source - listen to the teachings of our Inner Spiritual Sun, align our limited Human Consciousness with our Divine Vibrational Core Essence. In other words, stand in your power as a Creative Expression of Divine Wisdom, and radiate this inherent Wisdom to all around you. BE A TRANSMITTER OF LIGHT! 


Ideally, today with this card's energetic opportunity, combined with the Full Moon in Pisces, we will recharge our Selves with the Core Energy found in our Connection with Source. Said another way, we can Re-Source our batteries today, by downloading the Light of the Pisces Full Moon. A Full Moon is literally the most beautiful display of the Sacred Relationship between The Moon, The Sun and The Earth! The Moon is reflecting the Light and Brilliance of the Sun upon the Earth - clearly manifesting His Divine Seed Intent as revealed by the correlating prior New Moon. In this case, today we 'manifest' the Seed planted at the Leo New Moon just 2 weeks ago. What was your focus and goal at that time? If you have been working with the unique program I developed called Moon Coaching, you have been consciously working the energy of these two Celestial Luminaries (if not, be sure to check it out at www.MoonCoach.com). Remember that the theme for this Lunar Moonth has been and continues to be: Leo - Divine Radiance, SHINING from the very CORE (HEART/CENTER) of your BE~ing! 

With that having been the New Moon focus/seed/Intent, today and this weekend as we bask in the Radiance of the Full Moon, we will experience the Piscean theme of One~ness, Comm~Union with the Divine, a Return Home, a sense of deep Compassion for ourSelves stemming from the recognition that we are Divine Children of the Mother-Father God/Cosmic Source. Aaaaahhhhh. Breathe that in folks! Re-Member your Truth! Re-Member your Divine DNA! Re-Member your Soul/Sole Source is the Radiance of the Inner Spiritual Sun. YES! You are a Transmitter of Light, and today we celebrate the Fullness of Creation in recognition of our True Lineage! WE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. Pisces teaches us Forgiveness (Radical, that is!) and Compassion for the plight of Humanity in its Forgetfullness...so forgive the momentary lapses in Human History...and we can transcend into an en-Light-end Human Consciousness. Key Pisces Word: BELIEVE!!!!


As an Initiate of Fire and the Great Mysteries, go out into your World today, and transmit the Light of Love, of Wisdom - be an example by radiating your connection to/with Source! Teach by example! Remember that we are all 'servers' no matter what we 'do' for a living; we are in service to something, someone. Make sure that you are consciously aligned with a Greater Source than just your human boss (although s/he too is a Child of the Uni~Verse, so APPRECIATE them). When we are 'in service' to others, and we do so from a place of Deep Connection to Spirit, we are making our actions Sacred (the original meaning of the word 'Sacrifice'). Do everything today, in recognition of our invisible connecting threads - LIGHT THREADS that is - as one Universal Family, Sourced from the same Light.


CHECK YOUR VIBRATION!!!!

Divinatory Meaning from The Tarot of Transformation book:

"The Server cards are about helping. This card is a reminder that we not only assist each other physically, emotionally, and mentally, but we can also assist each other spiritually. This is primarily a matter of the consciousness we cultivate. By being in our own light, we can support other's light and help raise the overall vibration; it is, thus, a way of ministering to the planet. Just as the butterfly goes from flower to flower spreading pollen, we collect and spread energy during each interaction we experience in a day. This may be grumpy energy, frustrated energy, light and happy energy, or the energy of generosity or kindness. This card invites you to become more aware of your energy fields and what you spread around. It represents taking responsibility for broadcasting energy that you think will be helpful and containing or neutralizing energy tha may have a more poisonous effect. You can reinforce the positive energy of others by mirrororing it, and you can help neutralize their negativity by holding it with such spaciousness and compassion that the energy can let go.

In the picture, a butterfly fairy (or deva) looks very radiant and expansive. She, like all of nature, is letting her essence shine. The water in the foreground represents the purifying capacity of those who can consciously transform consciousness. Devas are great reminders of the interconnectedness of life. Alhtough they inform the world of form, they are not limited to it, but operate from a more collective consciousness. Wihtin this larger sea of consciousness, everything you say, do or feel has an effect, whether cutting off others in traffic or bringing a smile to the face of someone helping you. The butterfly fairy encouragesg you to bring a light and loving energy to the world by bringin this energy into your everyday interactions and life.

When you draw or are drawn to this card, it is a good time to become more conscious of the energy and consciousness you are transmitting. This is difficult to do if you are caught in the inner whirlwind of your thoughts and feelings. You need to keep some of your awareness free in order to take in a larger field. One practice that can help with this is to visualize yourself as a radiant body of light. See and feel the light extending beyond your physical outlines and touching everyone you come in contact with. Notice how your energy affects others. Using this visualization over a period of time can increase your awareness and amplify your energy field. You, too, can become a transmitter of light."

Tarot Mystery School - THE TOWER for 9/2/09

Card for 9/2/09:
XVI  - THE TOWER (The Will of Mars)

Deck:
THE CELESTIAL TAROT

Deck Creators:

Brian Clark and Kay Steventon

Traditional Tarot Equivalent:
The (Lightening-Struck) Tower

 

MoonCoach Phase for today:

Waxing Gibbous

MoonCoach Sign for today:

Aquarius

Silvia Pancaro's interpretation and suggestion for the day:

Today... we can connect with our inner Tower - that set of old, outworn ideas, beliefs, patterns, habits, that are bound to come down, one way or another. Better to be aware of your negative habitual patterns, and be open to Divine Inspiration, than to be hit by the Universal 2 x 4!  Traditionally, the Tower represents the destruction of a part of our lives, due to the faulty foundation we had built it upon. I liken this to the Hand of God/Dess who through Ruthless Compassion, intervenes on behalf of our Soul, and therefore, like Kali or Pele, destroys that which would otherwise have destroyed a more vital part of our Selves.  With Mars as the resonating planetary Archetype, we can invoke our Inner Warrior, and take on the Dragons of our minds - those negative beliefs we hold about ourselves or others, and face them courageously, in order to be free of them. Once this process is complete, we can rebuild a new structure - one that is in true alignment with our Vibrational Core Essence, one that truly is supportive of our Life Purpose, instead of the old 'Towers' that undermined our True Divine Nature.


In combining this card with today's Lunar phase & sign, which remains as Gibbous in Aquarius, we see a theme building up for the week so far: one of self-healing leading to the collective healing. My sense is that we can consciously choose to recognize the day's events as part of the inner clearing necessary to a healthier relationship with others in our communities, be they large or small. More specifically for today, consider what your 'foundation' has been up to now. Is it healthy? Is it in need of rebuilding? If so, meditate on this card, asking Mars to assist you in whatever way is best for you, on the ways that you can remove the old 'building blocks' and put in new ones that truly serve you and the Greater Good. Interestingly, yesterday's card, Conditioning/The Devil, happens to precede The Tower in sequence...so this says that in having identified yesterday how we are 'imprisoned' by beliefs and values, today, we can claim our Freedom by doing away with the old structures that held us back!



Needless to say, this card can be instantly recognized even by non-Tarot enthusiasts, since it evokes the Collective feelings regarding the destruction of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. And here we are, just days before the anniversary of that fated day, pulling this card. I remember how I felt that morning, and in the days, weeks, months, years that followed. What about you? Did you feel the rug pulled out from under your feet? Did you sense the Collective 'WAKE UP!' Call, regarding the question of: What values have we built our Society upon? Difficult as a pill that has been to swallow for all of Americans, and really the World, that 'destruction' is a reflection of the old Patriarchal and Greedy Ideals that the Western World has held for far too long. I love my Country, I love my People - the USA is a brave and passionate Collective of uniquely creative individuals - we have sooooo much to share, so that Day was an opportunity, to truly ask ourselves profound questions regarding what we 'serve' as a Nation...to consider our Collective Fate, and the Sacred Contract we signed, long ago...it would be a shame to forget that Day's Events by falling right back into our old Collective habits of greed, selfishness and the old forms of Power...it would be a dis-honor to the Souls that perished that awful Day, if we don't choose to REBUILD a new structure - one build on mutual respect, one built on honoring the inherent dignity within all Citizens of the World, and one that truly takes action based on care for the Planet Herself, and considering the Next 7 Generations, and the effects the our choices have upon them. Let's take the lesson of those Towers into our Personal Experience, and spend the day today, checking on our own Foundation - make sure you understand that every Individual has a Right to be as they are - and that in honoring each others unique differences, we can build a Global Community that celebrates Diversity, instead of killing each other for our differences. www.Rainbowism.com coming soon!

Divinatory Meaning from The Celestial Tarot book:

"...When the Tower appears in a spread, the unconscious reveals an important crossroad. For some it may be the time to journey forward as the old structures have liberated a more authentic path forward. Having journeyed into the shadow regions of the psyche and confronted the Devil (the previous sequential card), the individual is now empowered to move beyond the material world. As a guide, Mars represents the apsects of the psyche we can invoke at this time: aspiration, courage, enthusiasm, energy, and will. For others, it may suggest a time to reconsdier their position and what needs to be relinquished. It may be necessary to delve deply into the self to face the terror of what keeps them bound to the collapsing structures around them. Here, we invoke Mars and his sword of discrimination to sustain our battle with the shadowy aspects of the self, which hold us back...
...On a divinatory level, the appearance of Mars as The Tower suggests than an instinct is operating to tear down old structures that my have been supporting an established way of being. The more rigid the structure the more violent the upheaval needed to dislodge it (Silvia's Note: The Universal 2 x 4). In addition, The Tower card also implies that it is time for the collapse of the old, whether we resist or cooperate. Having encountered The Devil, the initiate is ready to destroy the imprisoning defenses and structures and turn towards the future: The Star.  The sword of Mars strikes The Tower of the Past, breaking up complacency and rigidity to create a more energetic and creative future."

Tarot Mystery School: SHAMAN for 8/31/09

Card for 8/31/09:
SHAMAN

Deck:
THE FIFTH TAROT

Deck Creators:

Martien and Teressena Bakens
http://www.thefifthtarot.com/

Traditional Tarot Equivalent:

The Hierophant

MoonCoach Phase for today:

Waxing Gibbous

MoonCoach Sign for today:

Capricorn

Silvia Pancaro's interpretation and suggestion for the day:

Today we can connect with our Inner Shaman, able to navigate between the various dimension and realms of Be~ing...shifting conscious awareness between everyday 3D reality, the Collective Soul and the realm of our Highest Knowing. Take time today to commune with your Spirit Guardians, your Animal Totems and you own Intuitive Knowing. This is a wonderful sign, informing us with information from the Inner Psyche/Soul - information that we can utilize to heal, teach, and in all ways enter into deeper understanding of Life's processes.

Today the Moon is transiting through the Zodiacal sign of Capricorn, the SeaGoat. The Lunar Phase is Waxing Gibbous. This informs us that we need to actively work towards creating our grander visions, and to take action that is in alignment with the higher frequencies of Capricorn: What will you do to bring about positive results in society, keeping in mind the next 7 Generations? Remember that Capricorn is the High Initiate who considers the Good of All, and as an Earth sign, asks us to consider the 'practical' effects of our everyday actions, upon Society as a whole.

Putting together today's card, Shaman, with today's Lunar transit in Capricorn, we really would do well to consider the energy output into the World at large, and ask ourselves some serious questions about our contributions to the Greater Good. This is also about releasing the old Patriarchal habits and attitudes, including listening to our Innate Wisdom as opposed to giving in to external powers who's authority is long outworn!

The Shaman Archetype is coming into the Collective's full conscious awareness due to the Sacred Work of many Traditional Indiginous Shamans and Modern Shamans. Connect today with your Inner Shaman, and begin making a difference TODAY!


Divinatory Meaning from The Fifth Tarot book:

"When the Shaman appears, he asks some important questions about the traditions you are upholding in your life. Do the traditions connect you to the wisdom of your ancestors? Is there a tradition that celebrates and aspect of the sacred that is asking to be remembered and restored? What are you doing in your daily life that is tradition for tradition's sake? Is is time to let go of the traditions that are empty and meaningless? The Shaman uses his abilities to create ceremonies that give expression to the sacred mysteries, to transform and heal. Remember the importance of ceremony to anchor in energies that support and sustain life. The Shaman speaks of the importance of community. what is your role within community? How are you contributing to the betterment and prosperity of community? How do you assist in the development of peace within community? Now is a good time to enter into community projects, locally or globally. Work with the energy of the Shaman to heal any stories that need to be healed. Call upon bear medicine to go within and remember your ancient wisdom. Be aware of any animal totems that show up. Let them be your guides to finding your gifts and talents. Let them show you the path to your sacred space and know that every step of the way is sacred."
