3 of Wands Reversed
I just discovered that if I’m at a loss for what to do for a belated post, I can always draw a card.
Today’s card for me - the 3 of Wands Reversed. Ain’t it the truth ?
Wands are desires and passions, ambitions and actions. 3 s are dynamic. The 3 of Wands is a world set in motion by acting on one’s desires toward a goal or goals. And I’ve got a bad case this twilight of “what have I wrought?” Everything is in motion, house cleaning, my cooperative job at my daughter’s school and seasonal celebrations. There’s not one thing I can say is done and I can’t get out of a bit of it even if I wanted. And that’s the trick of the reversal, the 3 of Wands Reversed says - So you set all these things in motion and you don’t know how it will end up or how you’ll feel when it ends up. Anticipation is replaced by doubt, but doesn’t eliminate the necessity of following through. And actions engaged always result in consequences - favorable or not.
Though the Winter Tarot Season is one of the things underway, the lovely thing about being a professional Tarot reader is that reading cards is actually restful. Each Tarot reading is a world in itself.
As long as the cards lie on the table before me, I can forget the many stages of the laundry and the gifts shipped direct that now need wrapping, the learning curve of the new work I’ve taken on and how did we end up celebrating three spiritual traditions anyway.
Each Tarot reading becomes a time of peace and contemplation, a time for studying the patterns of what makes us human and what puts us in touch with the Divine, a time removed from time.
How fortunate I am that my work requires this in light of my 3 of Wands Reversed week.
