Hello dear friends and fellow Card consultants!
I've had a flurry of readings over the past week, and I also had the privilege of doing consultations during a weeklong astrology workshop given by Maurice Fernandez. The entire experience has convinced me more than ever that this -- i.e., getting into the alchemical crucible and reading the Cards with reference to what's going on in the client's life -- is what I need to be doing with my life. Or, at least, it's a major part of it.
What really nails things down and brings a sense of Calling is the fact that the Cards always, without exception, come up precisely in alignment with a) the client's situation, and b) the client's highest good. A chill runs up and down my spine when I lay down the Cards, and I see how perfectly they are arranged in order to bring wisdom from synchronicity (the language of the Universe) to the client -- to give her exactly what she needs to hear, either to move forward from her current situation, or to plant a seed for future growth (or both).
Last night, via Skype, I had a reading wherein the Devil Card came up as the outcome. The client expressed disappointment when seeing the Devil, but as it turns out, her mate recently left her, she has a history of men up and leaving her for younger women, and she herself has a pattern of reaction that sets up the same dynamics heading into succeeding relationship -- which is to say, she cycles through this terrible experience over and over again. The Devil Card comes up in this situation to present a challenge to CHANGE OUR HABITUAL WAY OF REACTING, and to CONSCIOUSLY TRANSFORM OUR BELIEFS TO ALIGN WITH A HIGHER SOURCE FOR INFORMING OUR CHOICES. So, it was the perfect Card for talking about breaking a cycle of doomed relationships, to examine the genesis of this cycle, and to bring conscious awareness to a process of doing things differently this time.
Hmmmm....
