Except perhaps at the start of learning Tarot, my readings are usually very clear to me, and over the last month, startingly so. But this one is most puzzling. If I had drawn these cards as a reading for myself I would have been delighted. I had a great affinity with the Moon, which is my spirit card. And if any of the cards had been in different positions it would have been easy too. What I do feel from this spread is that there is something very significant to learn here, especially when I have drawn three Majors in four cards.
Today we learned that our 1989 Mazda MPV needs $3500 in parts and service for transmission repairs. Within the last two weeks we spent $3500 for differential replacement and miscellaneous other things. It has been a very reliable vehicle, with a minimum of maintenance required, and this is the first time that it has broken down on the road. The transmission and differential were both original to the vehicle. When we bought it, the vehicle itself was selected through faith and spiritual revelation.
The question: "Tell me about keeping the MPV and getting it repaired". I used the Hanson-Roberts.
The spread (laid horizontally): Earth, Water, Fire, Air
(For me this is roughly equivalent to Pentacles, Cups, Wands, Swords)
The result: The Moon, The World, Temperance Rx, Ten of Rods Rx
The Moon in the Earth position tells me about the physical and material value - and the prognosis - for the van. The Moon upright is normally a very beautiful and powerful card for me, and indeed I am affected much more my the month of the full moon than that of the zodiacal sun. This month we will have the full moon in Scorpio. In this position the Moon is perhaps the most puzzling card of the spread. One thing that do feel is that I need to sleep on the decision, and indeed a dream may reveal the answer. This would seem to be the key card that will answer my question.
The World in Water is also intruguing. This seems to indicate great balance and integration in our emotional response to this issue. But we don't seem to feel that way on the surface, there is a lot of confusion. My card of the week was the World Reversed - indicating in my context that my world has been turned upside down. As the card of the week, this is a very accurate summation of how I feel following the union with the Creative Beloved (documented in the Spirit Guide Draws thread).
In the Fire position, Temperance Reversed comments on inspiration, growth, creativity and transformation. Temperance Reversed has never been a bad card for me, in fact it is one of the few that I would normally take as its exact opposite, i.e. "Intemperance" meaning passion. This is the inner joy which arises from the fusion of the feminine and masculine through the activity of the upright Temperance.
Finally, we have the Ten of Rods Reversed in Air. Here we have the release of burdens and worry. At this point we see either choice as potentially worrisome. Buying a new vehicle would result in even more expense, and would not leave us immune to breakdowns either. Repairing the present vehicle might reduce worries if we feel that nothing further will go wrong, or increase them if we think that this is the beginning of the end.
Any input would be helpful!
