Tarot Card of the Day: October 18th, 2014

Redemption through sacrifice.  Enforced sacrifice, Suffering.  Ill-dignified: Punishment, Loss, Defeat, Failure, Death.

Water.  Mem.  This figure is Osiris or Christ and shows redemption through suffering.  He is drowned in the waters of affliction.  The attitude is traditional and involves a right angle and a triangle.  His foot is bound to the Ankh of Immortality by the serpent of life.  The complete symbol is a triangle and a cross.

Okay, not sure what to make of this.  I think is is perfect for my weight loss surgery.  To get to where I want, I needed to sacrifice something, and that something was about 85% of my stomach.  

Tarot Card of the Day: October 17th, 2014

Represents the earthy part of air.  A young woman, stern and revengeful, with destructive logic, firm and aggressive, with great practical wisdom and subtlety, dexterous in management of practical affairs.  Ill-dignified: Woman filled with low cunning and frivolousness.

Here is snow.  Round the princess's dress are water crystals, beside her is a dolphin of Venus, the tortoise is an emblem of earth to show the solidification of water in mud, ice and snow.

I guess I need to watch out for someone young that is stern and has destructive logic.  Although I don't mind the aggressive part of things.  And someone with great practical wisdom would be great to be around.  

Tarot Card of the Day: October 16, 2014

Business.  Paid employment.  Commercial transaction.  Constructive building up.  Increase of material things.  Growth.  Commencement of matters to be established later.  Ill-dignified: Selfish, narrow, prejudiced, greedy person seeking impossibilities.

Works.  Mars in Capricornus.  Binah.  A three-dimensional pyramid is looked at from above.  It is placed on three wheels on which are the signs for mercury, sulfur and salt, a fundamental analysis of the components of earth according to the alchemists.

Been really needing to figure out what I need to do with my life.  I finally dropped below the 300 barrier and told myself that now is when I would start looking for work.  But I also have the desire to do something different.  I've got a plan in the works, now it's time to start taking steps to make it happen.

Tarot Card of the Day: October 15, 2014

Quarreling.  Fighting.  Competition.  Cruelty.  Violence.  Lust and desire.  May be prodigality or generosity according to dignity.  

Strife.  Saturn in Leo.   Geburah.  The wands are the Caduceus, the Phoenix and the Lotus.  Their disproportionate size indicates that, following the coordination of spirit, disunion has begun.

This is what I'm feeling at the moment with the lack of progress in my weight loss.  I'm stalled.  I'm in competition with myself and trying to make sure that I keep going down on the scale.  Maybe this is telling me that I need to stop fighting with myself.  Get back into a union with myself.  

Tarot Card of the Day: October 14, 2014

Pursuit of pleasure crowned with perfect success but incomplete. Matters arranged and settled as wished.  Lasting success.  Peacemaking and generosity.  Ill-dignified: Dissipation.  Debauchery.  Pity, Waste. Stagnation.  

Satiety.  mars in Pisces.  Malkuth.  The cups are arranged on the Tree of Life and a great lotus overshadows them.  Exhaustion, which comes from expended energy is expressed.

Lasting success is what I take out of this.  Been away for a while because I have been focusing on health and had weight loss surgery.  What better way for lasting success than what I have done.  I have lost 76 pounds from my heaviest and loving life.  It's this kind of change that is what I have been striving for and will continue to strive for from this point forward.
