Happy New Year Reading - The Steampunk Tarot1. The Past year in Retrospect - 2 of Wands. Comparisons
Happy New Year Reading - The Steampunk Tarot1. The Past year in Retrospect - 2 of Wands. Comparisons, crossroads, gestation - hurry up and wait. There’s nothing more frustrating for wands than having to sit still and patiently wait - but that is, in fact, what your past year has been all about. Maybe you felt like there were compelling choices on offer and you wanted to take your time to make a decision - or maybe it felt like there was no clear choice and so you sat still and waited for more to be revealed - either way, you probably didn’t make any life altering changes last year. That’s okay, it really is. Better to sit and wait, than to rush into a decision you aren’t ready to make. So maybe you didn’t get very far last year, but you know what? You also didn’t make a giant big mess you will need to dig yourself out of this year!2. Let go of this - 9 of Swords. Suffering, fear, anxiety, guilt, uncertainty. Seems like you might have been doing quite a number on yourself while under the influence of the 2 of Wands … you want to move, to do and get on with things, but the path has been obscured - no road looks like the “right” road and as the clock ticks on, you’ve been punishing yourself for not knowing. It’s okay to “not know” - it’s okay to feel uncertain. Oh sure, we live in a ramped up culture of do do do, go go go … but its often not in our best interests. There’s no need to feel guilty or anxious - you’ve been presented with a period of time where forward movement was most likely to take you directly from the frying pan straight into the fire. Discernment, patience, sitting still with not knowing … is nothing to feel bad about. Let it go. 3. A Gift - 8 of Cups. Impermanence, walking away, moving on, letting go, turning your back on the past, end of a cycle, the wake up call. Yay! Just what you’ve been waiting for, cosmic approval to get moving! You’ve been marinating in your indecisiveness and your fingers are all pruney with it. The Eight of Cups wisely lets you that now is the time to do something about your dissatisfaction. Whatever you’re looking for isn’t sitting in your lap, look wider. You may have to let go of something to reach for something better. The 8 of Cups is the gift of a kick in the pants. You’ve been feeling the need to break away - go on, do it!.4. Embrace This - 7 of Swords. Moving on, gradual healing, slow but steady progress, calmer waters, overcoming difficulties. A call to be gentle with yourself, yes to change, yes to making some decisions, but also a reminder to look after yourself. This card suggests change probably won’t be a quick fix, and that too is okay. One foot in front of the other.5. The Year Ahead - 5 of Wands. Brainstorming, bright-sparks,challenges, restlessness, impatience. It’s not over until it’s over. No matter that you would prefer things to just move forward, there’s a process involved. You may find yourself alternating between ideas for change, and impediments to making them happen. The 5 of Wands calls upon you to be daring, brave, gutsy, unflinching, determined and competitive when it is called for. Be prepared to face your challenges head on - you can’t dodge change and to be fair, you don’t want to. -- source link
