Reading for ana luisa
Hi ana luisa,
I thought that I would first do your reading and then give feedback.
I looked over my oracle decks and decided to do as you did, choose one and then a draw a cad from another for a finishing touch.
I choose the
Holitza I Ching Cards for the main deck and the
Dreaming in Colour oracle for the
last card deck.
Question: Identify A ‘Unique Personal Quality’ about ana luisa which she can ‘Embrace’ as her own.
31 Influence
Conjoining shows a steady mountain with a lake nestled on the top.
That which exerts a steady influence invigorates, sustains and inspires others who are much less internally concentrated. (I know you like to say you are chaotic and scattered, but really your gift is more 'whole' than you seem to be prepared to acknowledge externally). This is about your gift in reading, but even more than that. Your reading gift is an external point on the whole.
Your approach to others is wholesome and gentle, making them feel comfortable. But, you have to be careful not to dismiss yourself, put yourself down. Give what you give gently and do not back down or allow yourself to feel lessened.
A caution here. Someone like you is prey to moods, doubts and fears. It scatters your thoughts, destroys your focus. You cannot bear disapproval. You also find so many images and pictures come into your mind that you have difficulty organizing and controlling them. It makes you chatter and lessens the impacts of your words. Only those who are near you and have accepted you will listen then, others will turn away.
The other thing is consistency. You are a sincere person, but sometimes you turn away from your gift. This confuses people. They want you to be who you are and sometimes mocking or otherwise putting yourself in an unfavourable light confuses them.
Spiritual discipline is essential to you. A cultivation of inner calm if you are to be to use your gift and make it of use to the world. Your depth of understanding can be a burden, but needs be born joyfully and in good spirit, but also without getting carried into side streets, or wasted on those who not appreciate it.
You should also understand that your kind of gift does not often have big immediate impacts. It is more like planting seeds: sometimes they fail to thrive, sometimes they make small plants and sometimes huge trees. Do not pin too much on the outcomes, these are up to the recipient and the universe.
Question: Which ‘Unique Personal Aspect’ of the Self can ana luisa ‘Honour’?
13 Fellowship with Men
Fellowship with Men shows the whole world gathered around a central brightness.
You like people. You like to be with them, to give them food, to help them see light in their troubles. You are at your best when all around you are in accord. You see the people of the earth, and especially those near you, in ways that most do not. Interconnectedness for you is just an obvious fact, and you are surprised and even distressed to see how many feel separate and alone. You understand phrases like ‘strength in numbers’, and ‘stand alone, break alone’.
You are not a leader, nor do you aspire to be one. For you, the important thing is to work on understanding and clarity which lead to a cohesiveness in the group. You will support any group leader who seems to you also dedicated to the cohesiveness of the group.
One thing you detest and work against is the formation of cliques and ‘taking sides’. You recognize that these are deeply divisive elements within groups of any size. For you openness is paramount, and clarity is the key to that. This knowledge is intrinsic to you but also comes from experience.
You believe in love and find it many places. But, you recognize that not all are equal. Not all ideas have equal merit, not all people are of equal merit. This ability to discriminate and allot to each as is their due without causing jealousy is essential to this ability to create cohesiveness.
Question: What ‘Unique personal Gift’ does ana luisa possess which she should ‘Cherish’ about herself?
19 Approach
Nearing shows the increase of spirit in a material world, a breaking out of the bonds of flesh and desire by brightness.
There is suddenness to this image, a breaking out, almost astonishment.
This image points to sudden bursts of inspiration and ‘knowing’ that come up and make themselves available to you. Could be to help you with problems, give you inspiration or as a part of your gift of reading others.
Thunder (creativity, inspiration) comes roaring out of the Earth (collective unconscious, the underpinnings of our souls) in a burst of energy and breaks through the conscious barriers. Like The Tower but without the destruction.
You have the ability to surprise people, to catch them where they don’t see and shine light (and hope.) You have these moments when you are so much greater than yourself, and sometimes it surprises both you and everyone around you.
It makes you tolerant and it makes you a good teacher. You see enough that you can focus your assistance. It also makes you very aware of the big picture, that things advance and retreat and what is good now can be all wrong next year.
You feel unworthy of your gifts; however you are not to feel this way. The union of who you are and what you receive to pass on is ultimately of great advantage to all.
Dreaming in Colour:
gifting
This one almost seems redundant to the above, but perhaps it is reinforcement.
You are a kind person whose desire to reach out to others is a gift that is like a flower. The gift of beauty is great but the flower itself is unaware. In your case you are more aware than a flower, but the gift is given with the same generosity.
Hope this means something to you.
