Tarot Reading for Sunday September 22nd, 2024

Greetings dear readers,

As the sun rises today, we introduce a triad of insightful messages being delivered from the universe through the lens of the Tarot. Our theme for this day is Navigating through Change and Achieving Fulfillment. The three cards drawn are The Hanged Man, Page of Swords, and Ten of Pentacles. Let us delve deeper into the profound guidance they provide.

The Hanged Man

As we embark on this journey, the first card chosen is The Hanged Man. Traditionally, this card represents a moment of suspension, of waiting, and perhaps most importantly, a shift in perspective. It appears that a moment of true introspective solitude is upon us. Like Seneca once said:

“He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it.”

In the context of the Hanged Man, we are urged to prevent stagnation within ourselves by welcoming change. To look at our world upside down, opening our eyes to new experiences and knowledge. In doing so, we foster immense growth.

The Hanged Man comes to us as a guide, nudging us to a path of exploring life through different lenses. Our challenge is to embrace this perspective shift. This could mean being patient, learning to wait, and understanding things deeply before taking action.

Page of Swords

Following The Hanged Man is the Page of Swords, a youthful, curious representation of intellectual energy. As much as this character symbolizes a zest for knowledge and communication, this card can sometimes hint at impetuous behavior. Tread carefully–not all that is spoken should be acted upon.

Renowned Stoic philosopher, Marcus Aurelius, once said:

“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

Can you see how this wisdom aligns beautifully with the energy of the Page of Swords? This card encourages us to harness our intellectual power, our thirst for knowledge, but not to lose sight of our inner peace. Even though we are urged to take flight, as the Page often does, remember to ground yourself in wisdom and patience.

Ten of Pentacles

Lastly, we find the Ten of Pentacles. A card that epitomizes material wealth and achievement, but goes beyond to hint at a fulfilled, rounded life. This card urges you to find satisfaction in what you have built and achieved.

Epictetus profoundly declared:

“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.”

Let us be guided by this stoic principle as we navigate the energy of the Ten of Pentacles. It invites us to be grateful for our achievements and to acknowledge each step that helped us toward it. Find true abundance in the immaterial, the emotional wealth of love, family, and community.

For today’s journalling prompt, let’s meditate on this:

How can you embrace change, balance your intellectual curiosity, and celebrate the fulfillment that surrounds you?
