Tarot Reading for Saturday, June 22nd, 2024
Welcome, gentle readers, to another enlightening session of our daily tarot reading. Today’s theme stems from the cycle of growth and transformation.
Our first card is The Empress. Traditionally a symbol of fertility and abundance, The Empress represents the creation of life, romance, art, or new business. In our stoic reflections, her message is clear: “The universe is change, life is opinion.” This quote from Marcus Aurelius reminds us that our perspectives shape our realities. The Empress invites us all to foster our inner creativity and to manifest our ideas into reality. Whether you’re nurturing a relationship, a new project or your inner self, care and patience will yield abundant growth.
We transition into the realm of our second card, Death. Do not be alarmed: Death often symbolizes change, transformation, and a new beginning, not a literal end. The stoic perspective sees Death as a great catalyst for transformation. Seneca once wrote, “Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” In this sense, something in your life needs to be released to make room for something new.
The third card, Nine of Swords, a symbol of worry and anxiety, often signals a tumultuous mind in the dead of night, but these fears are self-created illusions. Structured in your own thoughts, they are not reality. Epictetus remarked powerfully that “Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.” Needlessly worrying about the future is a path to despair and sleepless nights. The wisdom of Nine of Swords encourages us to let go of these anxieties and trust in our own strength.
Looking at the three cards together, they communicate an incredible story of growth, transformation, and releasing anxiety. Embrace the nurturing energy of The Empress, accept the transformative turn of Death, and let go of the debilitating fears portrayed in Nine of Swords. Life is an ongoing cycle of change and creation, death and rebirth, fear and courage. Accepting these natural ebbs and flows with a stoic peace of mind is the key to serenity and wisdom.
To reflect on today’s reading, here is a journaling prompt: “What area of my life am I ready to transform and sprout new growth within? How can my fears and anxieties transform into strength?”
Always remember, the wisdom of the tarot is not about predicting the future but guiding you to create it. Until tomorrow.
