DEATH IS JUST FOOLING AROUND

Hi there.  Welcome to Invitation Tarot.  I have done a lot of writing about all these Major Arcana cards and their influence on our days.  Thus, there is often repeats happening which I invite you to read from other days gone by to give you more insight to how I see the influences happening.  I’m sort of shifting my modality of writing to allow me to expand and embrace other cards in the deck, still, hopefully inviting you to consider the day, its influence, and especially its take on your Birthday year.

I am of the mind and heart, that the questions I ask in the end are what might trigger and light up a pathway for you to see beyond your limited self to the self that is vast, and connected to everyone and everything.  We are all One.  

Tarot cards for me are a tool.  A creative story telling tool that can connect us to ‘Spirit’, ‘Source’, our HIgher self, whatever you refer to that is your connection to ‘All that is’, Oneness, God.  My prayer, my imaginings, my hope, my sacred desire, is that you remember… 

‘You are the One you have been waiting for.”

 

TAROT HAIKU

Your wait is over

You are the One you’re here for

You are life’s dancer

 

Today… Death makes his/her visit with her ‘people’, The Emperor, and The Fool.  Tho’ the death card speaks to transformation, the ‘constellation’ with the other two cards speaks to starting out with nothing but Beingness in the Fool, gather life’s necessities, and having a home and stuff, and then being faced with letting go of something that feels difficult to let go of in the Death card.   What is easy to forget is that with a letting go, there comes an opportunity for something, fresh, new, inspired to take the loss of what was let go of.  Here in lies the magic of the Death card,…. letting go.  Allowing and end for a new beginning.   There is always discomfort in the letting the go.  What does it mean?  What will happen?  Will I be safe?  Will I miss?  Who will I be if not with That?  It’s not a casual time when life asks you to let go.  And… that is what is asked today and if it’s your birthday, you get a whole year of finding your way to surrender.  Remember, you have the innocence of the Fool, fresh and alive, and the Wisdom of the Emperor, stable and secure, to consult with.  Know your inner Fool and your Wise Self, listen and play with the two of them and your journey with Death will be liberating.

 

 

What might needs, ‘letting go of’ to give space for something new and improved?

Can you ‘jump’ into your life with a new idea, a refresher course in beingness?

How do you limit yourself?

What endings are you afraid to face?

What rules, structures, definitions need reevaluation?

What have you always wanted to do and were too afraid of the consequences and breaking of rules to ‘jump’ into?

What lights you up and brings you to your playful, child-like, enthusiastic self?

What does your inner child desire?

What does freedom mean to you?

Can you imagine death as a transformative experience …Figuratively speaking?

What ‘stuff’ needs to be boxed and sent to the thrift shop?

Do you need to be boxed and sent to the thrift shop?  lol

DO IT SCARED

TAROT HAIKU

 

Go and do it scared

Fear holds you if you let it

Soar into life free

 

And what might you transform today?    Good morning.  A day/year, if it’s your birthday, of Transformation.  Making space for what you always believe was your heart’s desire and life cluttered it up…. with your help.  

Death.  Many of us don’t like to talk about death or consider it.  There is a great fear around it,especially when it concerns physical death.  I’m of the mind and heart that this card is more about ‘the death of a way of doing things, or maybe the ending of something that needed ending long ago… or maybe bringing closure to that thing that never really was going any where.  What is that you have in your life that binds you to some discontent that never feeds your soul quite right?  Can you Let It Go?  It might take a little baby step at a time.  It might not even be something you give much attention to.  It might be an old pattern that you repeat and repeat, hopeful that it will one day surprise you and Voila, it’s all good.  What ever holds you from the fullness of yourself, I invite you to consider letting it go and giving space for something that Fills you up with goodness and light.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

 

What holds you from having all the joy you deserve? Name three.

Who told you that you can not have your heart’s desire?

What is your heart’s desire?

What does transforming a situation mean for you?

How have you cluttered up your life and what can you do about that?

What is one small thing you can let go of today to start the process of releasing old crap?

What scares you into complacency?

How does death scared you?

How can you live your life free of fear?

What can keep you grounded as you release old stories and things that need letting go of?

What boundaries need your attention as you attend to making life joyful?

What does it mean to you to take the risk of letting go and taking a jump more fully into your life?

FOOL-DELICIOUSLY … 0/4/13

3 may 2012   >  22/0/13/4…  Fool/Death/Emperor

 

TAROT HAIKU

Take a leap for life

Free fall into new wonder

Risk it cause you can

 

Ah.. A Fools day. I love that.  22, that master number that adds to ‘4’, the Emperor, and represents The Fool in the Tarot cards, invites you to JUMP…  eek.  There is innocence in the Fool.  There is a freedom in the not being burden with things, and defined thoughts, and ways of doing this and that.  The Fool steps into life, jumps into life, falls into life, to find life, to find his/her way.  At some point in freedoms jump the Fool embraces the Emperor: order, structure, rules, definition, form, how to run that castle well and keep the kingdom steady and organized.  Then… Death comes along and says… “Hey.. ya’ll got lots of stuff, and things, and minds sets that are limiting, and over ruled and defined.  That box is seriously confining.  Time to let it go.  Time to transform limited thinking and living to give space for something fresh, alive, and new.”  

And so this journey of ‘4’ comes into being with this set of Tarot cards.

 

The Invitation for you if this is your birthday or just another glorious day… is to consider all of the above with these questions:

TAROT QUESTIONS.

 

What might need ‘letting go of’ to give space for something new and improved?

Can you ‘jump’ into your life with a new idea, a refresher course in beingness?

How do you limit yourself?

What does your box look like?

What rules, structures, definitions need reevaluation?

What have you always wanted to do and were too afraid of the consequences and breaking of rules to ‘jump’ into?

What lights you up and brings you to your playful, child-like, enthusiastic self?

What does your inner child desire?

What does freedom mean to you?

Can you imagine death as a transformative experience …Figuratively speaking?

What ‘stuff’ needs to be boxed and sent to the thrift shop?

Do you need to be boxed and sent to the thrift shop?  lol

TRANSFORMATION… death ’13’

Posted on by

22 april  2012   > 13/4/0  >   Death/Emperor/Fool

 

TAROT HAIKU

Waken to death’s knock

leave behind yesterdays want

Renew your old self

 

Good morning… thanks for you visit.

 

A lucky ‘13’ day.  That’s how I like to think of it.  A day, a year if it’s your birthday, of transformation.  Endings that give way to new beginnings.  Ridding of old ‘stuff’ to make way for the new. I think many of us our frightened of Death and what it means as it seems so final.  For me, in the Death card, I’m incline to considering the transformative aspects of death; Whether it be literal, or, which is often the case in this card, the metaphor of death.  The letting go of what doesn’t serve your life any more even though you maybe incredibly attached to it, it just might need to be let go of.  

‘4’, the Emperor likes order, structure, rules, a form to work in.  A home and family to support and give to.  Death, questions all that you possess, all that you give attachment to, be it body, mind, or spirit.   Transformation ask that you let go to let in what might better serve your life.  The Fool, well…he/she advocates surrender to the highest good, the freedom of being all of who you can be.  Jump into life fully.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

 

What will you let go of to make way for something new?

What holds you to a way of being, living, acting, that doesn’t serve your life?

How does the thought, idea, feeling of transformation influence you?

Who’s rules have you been following, and do they work for you?

How can you create the life you deserve to have?

When will you let go?

Can you give form to your feelings?

What does leading an inspired life mean to you?

An Emperor kinda day.. number ‘4’

INVITATION TAROT/NUMEROLOGY DAILY…

 

4 April 2012   > 4/13/0  >  Emperor/Death/Fool

 

TAROT HAIKU

Fool leads the way home

Structure rules order’s cubicle

Death laughs at it all

 

Thanks for youR visit and interest.. Today is an Emperor kinda day, the ‘4’s’ main attraction. The leader is in charge of order, structure, rules, getting things down, gathering resources, being very resourceful, knowing who else can get jobs down and delegating. ‘4’ and the Emperor are very busy leading and containing.  The trick is to not make that box inflexible or over structured.  Within that ‘4’ also abide the Fool and Death.  The Fool revels in freedom and the quest to just Be.  Death, suggests you look at all your stuff and the confines of living and consider letting go, give space to something new or simple live less confined.  

If this your birthday, you have a year to consider these invitations.

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

How might you get your ‘house’ in order?

What needs doing that you have put off?

Are there resources you need right now to get your life on track?

In what ways do you feel safe and how do you make that happen?

Can you let go of your attachment to something so that you have room for a greater possibility?

Are your rules limiting or expanding?

What do you value and do you live your life in accordance?

Is there enough ‘play’ in your structured world?

If you could transform one part of you life, what would it be?

What keeps you stuck and resisting that transformation?

INVITATION TAROT/NUMEROLOGY DAILY… ‘4’…Emperor

Posted on by

5 march 2012   >   4/13/0  >   Emperor/Death/Fool

 

TAROT HAIKU

Know your domain well

Steward well the land’s family

Release chaos hold

 

Welcome and good morning.  Seems like the days fly by, right?  Today is a ‘4’ day.  I keep meaning to give you the methodology that I use to include the 22 Major Arcana in the typical number system 1-9.  It is a lengthy explanation that would take more time than I have in this moment, tho’ I will at some point, or you can see if you can find Mary Kay Greers book, Tarot Constellations.  I can say that I don’t add the number straight across tho’ they will indeed get you to a single number as all methods will.  I add the number up like this….      5

      3

              2012

                                  ______

                                   2020 > 2+2 = 4   thus the Emperor

 

Death #13 and The Fool #0 are part of the ‘constellation’ ‘4’.  Why the Fool?  Well, in The Major Arcana there are ‘22’ cards.  The Fool being ‘0’. thus the Fool takes on the 22cd card which adds to ‘4’.  Since I want to include the Tarot in this Invitation of Tarot and numerology, I want all the Major Arcana, so I add them up this way to get to the first Tarot card which might be a double digit. It might have added to 13 today which would have made today lend itself more to transformation; endings and new beginnings which is a bit different than the Emperors desire to put things in order: to give form and structure, rules and securities to the ‘kingdom/queendom’.  Always…. I include the numerical compliment of each Tarot card so that you can have a feeling for some of the energy that is assisting the primary card, which for today is the  Emperor.

 Have I confused you completely?  Sorry if I have.  Basically, today…. get your house in order, a day to see what needs doing and what needs to be done with.  Look at those piles of stuff or that thing you were going to move around, or that list that keeps building up and not attended to, and get busy.  The Emperor of you has got some business to attend to today.

 

**If today is your birthday, these are questions to consider for the whole year.  Grab one or all and see what stirs you up.  Change the wording around to make it feel right for you.  As you ponder these thoughts and questions, please take a moment to sit quietly and breathe.  Let your breath guide you into a quiet place for the questions to have a moment to brew and shimmer.  Invite your wisdom to be your guide.  And remember, if overwhelm sets in, take a very little step.  You have as much time as you need.

 

QUESTIONS TO PONDER

Consider the the form and structure you ‘run’ your life in and with, and is it working for you?  

Is your ‘Castle’ operational in the way you like it? 

If there is chaos around your space, and what little thing might you do to shift that?

What agreements did you make with yourself to get things done and they are not done even a little?

Can you make new agreements with yourself to get things back on track?

If you share space with another are you keeping your agreement of order together?

And if not what might you do to get back on track there?

Does the Emperor of you need a little help and who can help you best?

(The Emperor knows who does what best and can delegate very well)

How well do you know your ‘king/queendom’?

INVITATION TAROT/NUMEROLOGY…THE FOOL

Posted on by
Standard

15 feb 2012   >  0/4/13   >  Fool/Emperor/Death

 

In this ‘4’ day which, when added across is first ‘22’ leading to the ‘4’, I give ‘22’ to the Fool.  Twenty-two Major Arcana, and the Fool finds him/herself at the beginning as ‘0’. So, the Fool becomes part of this constellation tarot card.  It goes a little like this:  The Fool says, “Come on, jump into life.  Take a change, trust me that is really you, innocent, ready to begin anew journey.  You don’t need much, just your instincts and the belief that it will be just fine.”  The Emperor say,  “Now that you’ve landed, what do you intend to do?  You need a home, and stability.  You need some rules to abide by and a form to work in.”   Then Death comes along with a little transformational Wisdom and says,  “Yes, well, do you really need all that stuff?  Are all those rules really working for you?  Aren’t you feeling stuck and caught in the rat race? And who knows what all is limiting your life, Right?  Let it go.  Just let go of some of that so you can make some space for what really matters. Surrender Dorothy so you can find your way back home.”  

In this invitation for the day, the journey of letting go, trusting in what you think you don’t know, building a form and a structure to live in and with, and then letting it go, transforming and evolving so you can be The Fool, jump into life with the innocence of new beginning and find your way to completion and letting go.  Birth/Life/Death, again.

 

If today is your birthday, these are questions to consider for the whole year.  Grab one or all and see what stirs you up.  Change the wording around to make it feel right for you.  As you ponder these thoughts and questions, please take a moment to sit quietly and breathe.  Let your breath guide you into a quiet place for the questions to have a moment to brew and shimmer.  Invite your wisdom to be your guide.

 

QUESTIONS  TO PONDER

HOw do you experience or notice innocence?

Do you dare ‘act the fool’ and what does that mean anyway?

What needs to be cleared out of your life to make room for what you really desire in your life?

How might you get your house in order?

If chaos is hovering around you, how will you discard what doesn’t serve you and let in what does?

What chance is sitting right in front of you that teases you in to taking?

What about letting go of ‘stuff’ and old thoughts, holds you hostage?

There is literal Death and figurative Death, what of either of these frightens you?

Letting go of anything has a grieving time.  How might you grieve your letting go?

Is what you have built around you a castle prison, making it difficult to expand your life?

What small step can you take to release old crap?

 

TAROT HAIKU

Be the Fool and jump

Life has been waiting for you

Trust is love diving
