i did my annual tarot reading late last night. this year i used the osho zen deck for the first time. i've used the crowley/thoth deck before. i love this new deck!
i've never posted a tarot reading before. it'll be interesting at the end of 2010 to go back and read this. i kind of believe it, and kind of not. i drew these specific cards using this specific (celtic cross) layout to get a general reading for 2010, although i could only draw these cards in the moment i drew them, and they reflect that. any other time, i would draw different cards. you would draw different cards.
for whatever it's worth, here's what i drew last night.

for whatever it's worth, here's what i drew last night.
issue: breakthrough (major arcana)
enhancing: playfulness (page of fire/wands)
unconscious influences: the Source (ace of fire/wands)
conscious influences: the outsider (5 of rainbows/disks)
old patterns: the creator (king of fire/wands)
new patterns: participation (4 of fire/wands)
feelings and attitudes about issue: letting go (8 of water/cups)
attracting from outside: intensity (knight of fire/wands)
desires/denials: control (king of clouds/swords)
outcome/key: morality (queen of clouds/swords)
what seems significant:
- gut impression: this is a promising, interesting, and curious reading, not without challenges.
- the only major arcana card i drew is the issue, breakthrough. meditation is the method, affirming what i've already begun.
- half the cards were in the suit of fire/wands (still mentally translating thoth to osho zen). this suit is about action and response, following my gut instincts instead of mind or emotions.
- i drew one card each in rainbows/disks (earth) and water/cups (emotions).
- i drew six "court" cards--page, knight, kings, queen, ace. these represent opportunities for mastery over the elements they represent. that's a lot of mastery!
- i can't think of a better unconscious influence than the Source! i can let the Source decide where my potential lies and relax there.
- lots of harmonics here to explore: the outsider and participation, playfulness and breakthrough, attracting intensity, desire/denial of control
- the issue (breakthrough) and outcome (morality) are an especially interesting combination.
now i'm going to meditate!
I'm looking back at this post from January 4, 2016, and I am blown away! 2010 was the year I meditated daily. By the end of that year, I had been accepted into acupuncture school, put my house on the market, had a meltdown, and quit my stressful job of six years. It was as if the daily meditation got me in touch with my deepest yearnings, to heal and be healed, and arranged my life to manifest that. Although I ended up going to massage school. It certainly feels like a "right livelihood" for me. I had a breakthrough into wanting more playfulness. I moved into an "outsider" type of work. My work moved more from creating alone at a desk to participation in healing. I let go of job and financial security and prestige. I definitely attracted intensity! I wouldn't say I feared or hoped for control; instead, I found more of a balance between surrendering to the playfulness of the universe and taking responsibility. I interpret the outcome card (morality) as being about my judgment about how I could make the best contribution to my own personal growth (and that not doing that would be immoral).
