For this month’s reading we used Joanna Powell Colbert’s “Gaian Tarot”. We are still in ‘limited posting’ mode with the summer heat and Jyothi who’s been sick and hospitalized a few times during the month of July for her kidney’s serious condition.
For this month’s reading we send you to our canned descriptions on our website’s free tarot reading app for (the equivalent of) these cards.
Very shortly, for the beginning of the month we pulled the Seven of Water (Cups): famous in traditional tarot as the ‘addiction card’ this symbolizes a state in which we feel confused and unable to choose among the many options and distractions that are available to us. For the central part of the month we pulled the Elder of Fire (King of Wands): a figure of drive and vitality who might get us un-stuck; the card we pulled for the last part of the month is the Exlorer of Water (Page of Cups) which invites us to embrace our emotions.
