If you picked card number 1, then you chose The Moon
The Moon card is all about our subconscious - dreams, illusions, intuition, and all that lies beneath the surface. It's hard to see clearly by the light of the Moon, so if you chose this card today you may not have all the information you need at the your present time. There is more going on at the moment than meets the eye, so now is not the time to rush any important decisions or jump to any conclusions - instead, the Moon card advises you to try and take your time to gather as much information as you can before moving forward. The Moon is also associated with dreams and intuition, as both lie within the realm of the subconscious, over which the Moon rules. The Moon card can therefore be seen as encouragement to listen to your intuition and go within to find the answers you are seeking. Paying attention to your dreams can also help to bring insight and understanding now. Sometimes the Moon card can represent danger or fear, so its advice is also to remain cautious and to act carefully. If you are struggling to overcome your fears try not to ignore them, but to honestly weigh your perceptions against reality. Where are your fears helping you to remain guarded when needed, and where might they be based more in your own anxiety than in reality? Again, listening to your intuition and instincts will help you to find your way forward, though you may sometimes feel as though you are fumbling around in the dark. The final advice for you if you chose the Moon card today, would be to let your intuition be your guiding light. Your natural instincts can help you to find your way through your current situation, even though it may feel dark and unclear.
If you picked card number 2 - you chose Temperance
Temperance is a card about balance, integration, and the blending of opposites. The message for you if you chose this card today, is that you should strive for balance and harmony now as much as possible. Bringing together your intuitive, subconscious self with your logical, conscious mind will help you to find balance, integration and harmony. Sometimes Temperance can represent the inspiration and new ideas which come from our creative subconscious, so you may be feeling particularly inspired at this time - but the message with Temperance is always to have patience. Ideas take time, dedication and adjustment to be brought into fruition in the material world. Rushing, pushing and forcing your hand won't help you now, you must use patience, moderation and your organising and people skills to bring your ideas into reality. Co-operation, compromise and harmony are highlighted and can help you to achieve your current goals. Working with others will enable you to find the right mix of experience, talents and skills to bring everything together successfully. Let things unfold naturally as much as you can, aim for balance in all that you do, and you'll be well on your way to bringing your inspirational ideas into reality. Temperance can also represent healing and the final achievement of harmony after a difficult period. If you've been struggling with a difficult and painful situation, Temperance promises that if you can continue to practice patience with yourself as well as others, you will find the peaceful and calm equilibrium you have been looking for.
If you chose card number 3 - you picked the 10 of Cups
The '10' cards of each suit represent the end of a cycle, the closing of one chapter ready for the beginning of a new one. This should not be seen as negative, as the 10 of Cups is usually considered a very positive card, associated with emotional fulfilment, harmonious relationships and happiness. Often the end of a cycle as represented by the 10 of Cups will relate to issues such as deciding to move in with your partner, getting engaged or starting or expanding your family. These examples of natural changes in our relationships may mean the ending of our circumstances as they are now, but the 10 of Cups is here to remind us that we have it within our own control to ensure that we are happy and emotionally fulfilled in our families and wider relationships. The advice of the 10 of Cups then would be to try and enjoy our relationships and bonds with loved ones, making the most of precious time spent with those we love. As implied by the rainbow, harmony and cooperation with others is highlighted at this time. If you chose the 10 of Cups today, you will find you are successful in your current goals when you are able to coordinate and work in co-operation with others. Now is also a great time to welcome others into your circle, and to enjoy the benefits of being part of a team. If you've been feeling lonely or struggling to cope lately, the 10 of Cups is a reminder to reach out to those around you. We should never be ashamed to ask for help and to lean on others occasionally when we are in need of support, and the 10 of Cups wants to remind you of this today. If you have been hoping to start a new relationship or, more likely, to move your current romantic relationship to the next level, then the 10 of Cups is positive encouragement that there is a connection in your life which has the potential to bring great emotional joy and fulfilment to you. However, as the two hands intertwined in this version of the 10 of Cups shows, the success of any relationship will always depend on equal balance and partnership, giving and receiving from both sides. So the advice of the 10 of Cups for you today would be to make the most of your relationships, to make the effort with your loved ones, and to enjoy the rewards of your shared connections at this time.
I hope you all have a wonderful solstice and festive break! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
