When The World card appears in a Tarot reading, I take notice. This card trumpets the completion of a journey, a major accomplishment, the realization of a long-held dream or aspiration. Celebration is at hand, — or just around the corner. What’s the problem, then? Why do I feel myself drowning in a sea of doubt, licking wounds inflicted by words honestly meant to help me along my journey?
There is often a conflicting message in any reading I do for myself that results in the suit of Cups leading the way. As a triple Cancer, I often find my ever-changing emotions getting the better of me. Here, the chalice is constantly receiving the emotional energies that I hold inside, all the vulnerable bits tucked beneath the crab’s tough outer shell. The message of the Dead is clear: Allow careful thought to properly guide me towards the changes I want to see in my life; a map drawn entirely of my emotions will find me soon lost and dissatisfied with my journey. Do not give up and do not be afraid! The road I have taken is the right one and whatever difficulty I find will be brief.
I am not drowning; I am treading water. I can put my head down and swim, with assurance and skill, in any direction I choose. Again, the Dead assure me: Once I have given careful thought to the direction I wish to go in, I will be ready for a new phase of creativity that will bring something new to light. I am not wrong; I have merely been misunderstood. Time is on my side. The direction I will move through the waves is under my own control. But, The King of Wands (following the advise of THE STAR, I later drew this clarifying card) is always by my side, ready to give sound advice and constant support).
