I’m continuing with the December Tarot, and on Day 9, we are doing Page reflections and thinking back upon the beginnings, lessons, and manifestations of this year.
This is a three-card spread, one card to represent beginnings, one card to represent lessons learned, and one card to represent manifestations. I used the Alchemical Tarot for my reading, but I did draw out the four pages from my Smith-Waite deck to set the scene.
My reading:
Card 1: Beginnings — The Wheel of Fortune
In the beginning, I chalked up a lot of things to fate and luck, and I still do. I truly believe that there are many things that are beyond our control and that are meant to happen.
Card 2: Lessons — Queen of Staffs
What I have learned this year is that we do have choices. In every situation that is presented to me or to any of us, we have basic choices, even when the options seem limited. There is always a choice I can make.
Card 3: Manifestations — Seven of Vessels
The key thing is to follow one’s intuition and make the best choice for that situation. Fate may dictate overall happenings and major events, but how we deal with those events are choices we make, and we can choose to make the best choices in those situations and make the most of those choices. I think this is something I have learned to do this year.
