On another recent thread in this forum we have been finding out what our lifetime cards are. Would people like to share some reflections about what the life cards mean to them?
I might start this thread, and if it picks up, then it picks up, which will be good. If not then nothing is lost. The cards give us quite a lot to guide our journey. Here are my thoughts.
My Soul and Personality card is the Chariot. The night we met, long before my introduction to tarot, my partner asked me what was my most striking quality, and I said determination . I think that illustrates that then, at a soul level, I was attuned to part of my soul’s purpose.
On coming to tarot I picked up on that quality of the Chariot. But now it is much more. The Chariot represents my spiritual journey through this life. Many lessons to learn, including that of faith and trust. See how the Charioteer does not hold the reigns? I need faith in the powers that be and in myself for this journey. This is a great lesson. Another lesson in this, the unspoken, is how do I connect with others? What is the best way to do this? There are many ways, The connection with others gives meaning to the life. I no longer wish to be the solitary traveler.
The Chariot represents strength, determination and will but the hidden lesson is how the act of surrender can bring all of these things together.
My Teacher card is the Tower. On this life’s journey, I must change, learn the lessons before me to become a more loving and conscious person. I also yearn for greater union with God, so the self-absorbed aspect of me has to be stripped away, gently. Is the conscious contact through others, with others? The Life’s journey has presented some significant challenges. Things have fallen away. I aim for integration of the self in this life and that does not need to happen surrounded by material things or the psychological clutter of the world.
My year card this year is the Hermit. Reflection and inner work to become a stronger, more loving and conscious spirit. One lesson I have learned already this year is that the Hermit is not alone. The inner work must happen in connection with others. The inner work requires attention to small things.
