The Temperance card is the Tarot's way of indicating that Peace will not be arriving; because you already have it Within you. Temperance is one of the most welcome cards in the Tarot deck when in
the Future or Destiny position. No matter how tense or difficult your struggles are now, or how
forgettable your past may appear, the future is a Sunrise of Peace and Well-Being.My current life's Destiny is that of Temperance. Harmony, Equilibrium, a Balancing of Opposites, Creating Synthesis, Healing.
I met with my mentor a couple of weeks back for a reading. I would never give up an opportunity to watch him magically interpret the cards. It is mesmerizing.
I have been dealing with an irrational client that has been frustrating. I keep asking myself, 'What am I to learn from this?' 'What am I not seeing?' I have only asked that my awareness be opened to the lesson. This has been trial #3. Last night was a sleepless night, trying to access awareness. Trying to understand my next move. Finally, out of exhaustion, I feel asleep. I awoke with a renewed awareness.There it was. Right before my eyes. 'Your perception of me is a reflection of you. My reaction to you is an awareness of me.'
I finally truly understand this. Better yet, I understand the application. With this, I say, I forgive you, understanding that you are coming from a place of hurt, anger and shame, from feelings of unworthiness.
This is not about me, well, her words anyhow. Please forgive her, she knows not what she is saying. She is only aware of her feelings within. She is scared. She is acting out on how she feels within.
My immediate response was one of doubt. On a spiritual level, I understand that it was my challenge, my opportunity to recognize this so that I am able to move forward to a greater destiny. My Destiny.
We experience until we learn completely. For me, I know that it is to teach. The best teacher is life
itself, through dialogue with life experiences and YaY me moment. Moments of Clarity, compassion, peace, balance, a complete and honest understanding & awareness.
I also gained another awareness upon awakening. Although I had minimal sleep, I was alert and I felt alive again. It's not the thoughts that kept me awake, it was the 'where do I go from here?' How do I proceed forward. These were my questions and thoughts before I dozed off. I awoke with a renewed understanding.
This is my Destiny. The messages. My reaction was an attachment to her fear. I am not angry, I never was. I was upset that I was being attacked. With that, I awoke this morning refreshed. I drew 3 cards. the Hermit, the Wheel of Fortune & the Wisdom of the Snake. The message rang loud and clear. The transformation is within. The tools are within. Transformation needs to be whole and complete.
As the Snake sheds his skin, he does so willingly and
then dances forward, understanding, knowing, that what was, is behind, what is, what is is here, right now and with every
step forward. The snake symbolizes Regeneration & Rebirth,
Intelligence & Knowledge; but most importantly on this today, the
Energy of the Consciousness; a most fitting pick on this day. Seek to see the lessons, the truth, always.The Hermit is about introspection and reliance on the gifts within.
The Wheel of Fortune is the card of Destiny; the weaving of life's threads, a coming together. This symbolizes a turning point, a time of movement & change, an understanding of the cycles, and a conscious awareness of our interconnected world.
Although I pick these card randomly and as a Universal message of Hope & Inspiration, I knew that somehow they were linked to me, my journey, my lesson. The message can be interpreted differently and I do so, with a conscious awareness of the triangle, but mostly the messages that 'come to me' as I type. 'Through conscious thought introspection or a conscious choice, in this very moment, it's time to shed one's skin and move forward Courageously; Stronger, Wiser, for this is one's Destiny. Take time for Introspection, if need be, but the truth is that you have what it takes to Embrace your inner guidance right now, if you choose.' Temperance.
In love♡ peace♡ & light, lori♡lynn
