This evening I started Chapter 2: The Tarot Journal. One of the excercises is to draw cards for Body, Mind, and Spirit. My cards were:
Body - King of Pentacles reversed
Mind - Ace of Cups
Spirit - Temperance
The one that is giving me trouble is the Body/King of Pentacles. I am having a hard time interpreting that card in that context. Should I be reading it reversed or upright? When I cant instantly feel a connection with the interpretation of the cards, I tend to feel like I am hopelessly blocked from the meaning. Is it that I dont want to connect with what I percieve to be a negative card? The other 2 cards are more positive to me and I could instantly feel their significance.
I think the Ace of Cups tells me that I am open and receptive to learning the tarot and the Temperance card is telling me to take it one step at a time and not to overwhelm myself with too much information at once.
If I look at the spread in a past/present/future context, the reversed King of Pentacles could mean that I have been stubbornly resistant to tarot in the past. The Ace of Cups says that I am open and receptive to it now. And the Temperance card could be saying that my openness and interest in tarot will balance me out spiritually. ??
I would love to have someone else's take on this.
Thanks, Sarah English
