Got another set of tarot reading... This time, I got Reflection, Temperance, and Empress.
Scroll down to read what each card means.
Context - Reflection
Now is the time for deep introspection. Slip into a quiet place and do some soul searching. Reflection represents the time to examine yourself on deep spiritual and emotional levels. This card may also signify the need for some me time to regroup from a tring experience or loss that has left some part of you drained.
Focus - Temperance
The Temperance card represents balance. All things must be in balance for the outcome to materialize. The appearance of this card in the deck may indicate some loose ends that need to be completed so some outcome can be realized!
Outcome - Empress
The Empress is all about energy and flow and is the feminine card. A project started by the Fool is likely to come to fruition with the Empress on your side. This is a fertility card and not necessarily in the biological sense. This card provides the support and creativity to accomplish your innermost endeavor that has been on your mind.

Another Tarot Reading
A month ago, I had my first Tarot reading... (see related post here)
Earlier today, I had another reading. This time, it's from a long lost friend... Like the previous one, this reading involves another 3 cards...
-*-
Context (left) - This card reflects the general over view of your present situation.
Focus (middle) - This card reflects a new set of circumstances that are about to or just have presented themselves to you. This is your central issue at this time.
Outcome (right) - This card reflects the outcome of the Focus Card. The results of your problems solving/decision making.
Context - The Hermit
The faint light from the Hermit's lamp can easily be lost in the darkness unless you quiet yourself and seek it out. You need patience at this point in your life, in order to recognize your personal limitations. Take a break and take stock of the situation from the sidelines. This can be a time to finally reap the rewards from your work, or just a chance to catch your breath. Have some patience, and when you see the Hermit's light, you will know it is time to move forward again.
Focus - Ace of Pentacles
Business and finance are in the forefront with the Ace of Pentacles, and something unexpected is on its way. Business opportunities, gifts or some other form of material abundance is about to present itself. This gift will only be the start of something larger, so make sure to keep your eye on the bigger picture. Money can not buy happiness, but right now it just might put a smile on your face.
Outcome - The Chariot
Ambition can be the driving force behind any journey, but can also be your downfall. You can't let your ambitions blind you to what is right in front of you. When this card appears, you need to temper your enthusiasm or else your aggression to succeed will ultimately lead to failure. Channel your energy positively and make your choices with a cool head. Like the chariot driver must control his horses, you also have to rein in your own passions. A strong will can easily get out of hand.
Like the previous one, this reflects my current path. I am now threading a path towards an ambition - a future that I envisioned myself in. Hopefully, I can pass this road unscathed.

Tarot Cards and Me
I won't go that much into the details of what happened to me today. But to be honest, this was a fun day for me coz I get to see my high school barkada again (except Nikki and Alda).
While there, our discussion managed to find its way to occult sciences. Well, we were into witchcraft, sorcery, magic, magick and tarot cards way back. So when Karen showed us her new tarot cards, I asked her to give me a reading.
It's not the flashy or mystic type. It's just a general reading with three cards. She used the "Vertigo" Tarot Cards. If I remember it right, the images was inspired by Vertigo (a comicbook story).
Here are the cards I got...
The Devil
It was supposed to say the part I'm presently acting out or showing off.
From other sites, this card means the following:
Divinatory Meaning: The positive aspect of the devil is a healthy bond or commitment. If it's drawn with the question of marriage in mind, it's a good omen. In other cases however, the Devil is associated with lust and temptation and may mean a bondage to other things not so healthy for us such as additions, chemical abuse, drunk on power, or clinging to beliefs that do us more harm than good. There are also other kinds of bondage we can suffer from. This may be a case where we are fooling ourselves into believing something blatantly not good for us. An example might be thinking that getting drunk every night on red wine will make us live longer. If the Devil appears in your card, review the course you are on and make sure you're not following a course more out of lower emotions such as lust, greed or desire, versus higher ones like love and altruism.
Death
My helper, the second card came to be Death. So this second one symbolizes the end or "death" of an old way.
From one site, Death means:
Divinatory Meaning: Though this card is rarely about physical death, it is about change, renewal, transformation and abandonment of that which no longer serves us such as a relationship. Like time, we cannot escape this and it is a warning that we should be paying attention to what is happening in our lives. We should take a review of our life and take note of something that may need to be shed other than our worldly body. It can also have a spiritual connotation suggesting that we have to shed old beliefs before we can take on more enlightened one. We may be heading for a spiritual impasse and may have to look at what we consume, how we feel and think. If we can, then we're ready to take on more exotic passages into the underworld. Not all change is welcome so the negative aspect of this card can mean that we are fighting change and have become stagnant. It may mean the loss of an opportunity because we won't walk through that open door. It may mean the loss of a lover, friend, or family member.
The Hanged Man
The third card from my reading is my Teacher. The man was hanged upside-down, with his head illuminated by a light. I was told this means deeper understanding.. or divine.
From the same site where I got the first 2 meanings, this card symbolizes:
Divinatory Meaning: The hanged man is a card that relates to self-sacrifice in order to attain a higher spiritual goal. The upside down position can reflect that this person is an outcast of society and tends to follow his or her own inner voice. The fact that the man is suspended upside down can represent a time of transition, limbo or a pause in life until something or someone is sacrificed for the greater gain of others. This card has been linked to spiritual lives such as Christ's and the legends of Osiris where the destruction of the ego brings greater meaning and awareness to society. A negative slant on this card would represent poor health, a weakness of will, selfishness and a person who uses their self-sacrifice ways to become a martyr. It suggests patience and to watch out for paths that lead in a bad direction.
Since it was just a general reading, my friend did not go into any of it's meaning for me... Or what it brings for me. But if I'm gonna look at my current situation, plus what happened just recently, I will get the following generalizations:
1. I was branded as an activist at work simply because I don't just do what's being asked of me. I would reason out if needed. I will defend my direct reports if I deem necessary.
2. My resigning from work means death of an old way. I have been working there for more than 4 years and now I would have to set it aside and face a different world. I would also need to learn adapting to a new life.
3. I sacrificed my length of tenure in order to grow. Though my current job's already stable and the issues thrown at me did not pulled me down, I have let go of it just so I can experience a new life that may have been waiting for me outside Maersk.
So there, this is one lengthy blog and I am just trying to find meaning from my tarot reading. I don't do tarot reading as it's costly and it needs a lot of time to learn all the cards and what they mean altogether.. Honestly, I got inspired and may add learning how to read tarot cards in my to-do list.. :D
