Card 1: How you feel about yourself
The Hierophant
You feel a need for advice or wise council or perhaps spiritual consolation. Someone, or perhaps immediate events, will provide moral and practical guidance. Perhaps you are considering becoming such a tutor, counsellor or spiritual advisor.
You desire the tried and tested traditional values, so when considering your options, this approach will prove wiser than adopting an unconventional novel approach.
I read this part of the reading like so: I do feel the need for advice and wise council from the surgeon who will be performing the operation. I assume that other people and immediate events will provide guidance for me about how best to prepare myself for the experience. Also, we’ll probably go with the tried and true way of performing open heart surgery with general anesthesia rather than the unconventional novel approach of my staying awake (which you may have read about here).
Card 2: What you want most right now
The Devil
The cards suggest that what you most want at this time you can’t have, and like the forbidden fruit this only makes it all the more tempting. Alternatively you know you could go for something, but it would be a bad choice and you’d be doing it for all the wrong reasons.
What I most want at this time is NOT TO HAVE OPEN HEART SURGERY, but I’m doing my best to reach acceptance.
Card 3: Your fears
The Tower
You are afraid your world is falling apart: you’re experiencing sudden changes and disruption and you don’t know what to do.
Perhaps subconsciously you’ve wanted a solution to an issue but didn’t quite expect things to have turned out as they have. Use this change as an opportunity for a new beginning.
Okay!
Card 4: What is going for you
The Emperor
You are self-assured and more than capable of influencing people or events to achieve what you want.
What’s more, support and guidance from your father, husband/partner or another man of significance in your life is there for the asking.
Make the most of your resources.
Okay!
Card 5: What is going against you
The Moon
You are frozen with fear, lacking nerve and confused as to what it is you actually want.
You are allowing all your fears and anxieties to hold you back when you should be opening your mind to new and unexpected possibilities.
Okay!
Card 6: The likely outcome
Death
This is a transformational time for you.
However turbulent or perhaps distressing some of the events in your life may be, endings always leave room for brand new beginnings.
This is a fresh start in life for you, embrace it and live every day as though it were your last – life is for living!
Okay!
I’m interested in reading what you read into that tarot card reading. I also hope to read how you’re reading these photos I took yesterday:
Here‘s one of the songs you might have noticed while you were reading this post:
Depending upon where you’re reading this, you might not be able to read that YouTube video of “Come Dancing” by the Kinks. If so, there are lots of other versions you can read on the internet.
I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts and feelings about this post.
Thanks for reading!
