Coming to the end of a cycle isn't always a teary farewell; sometimes it can be a feeling of relief that comes over the body due to the awareness of the closure. A new self arises that is ready to take on the next part of the journey. One that is full of wonder and the ability to create new pathways towards the future. In Tarot, that would be The Fool. Due to our multidimensional selves, we can be filled with a repertoire of different abilities and personalities, ones that can help give us that leg up when we need it. Ones that understand our lows and know what comforts us. We are quite amazing humans when you look at it; but unfortunately, at this point in the human time scape, there are not many humans who exhibit that amazing talent. Evident from what we see in the media. That shouldn't stop us from shining the brightest and filling the world full of love just by being who we are, love in form.

What is your take on this card? I feel he gets a bit of a hard rap. I know sometimes no good comes out of the tasks that he needs to do to keep us bound in some type of addiction or habit that we just can't shake. Over time, I've found him to have mellowed down and become a bit of an ally. In my life, that is. He became a fallen Angel because he didn't feel good enough and wanted to compete for God's attention. He couldn't compete with Jesus or Mary, who were the apple of God's eye. (Information gained from a Catholic Priest who is an exorcist and has spoken with him). Which basically makes him not much different from us in some respects. I'm not taking him off the hook by any means and walking down his pathway, because a life of restraint, obsession, or habits that don't allow my growth is just not my thing. The question that we do need to ask is why have you put me in this bind? When listening within, you can get many answers, due to the lies he speaks. But within those answers there is a grain of truth; it just takes a bit to find it, and when you do and act accordingly, the binds slowly come off. It's like jumping on each side of the good/bad, positive/negative line and comparing what works for me and what doesn't. It's not for the faint-hearted either; jumping from one extreme to the other, you really need to be able to come back to centre and not forget who you are at the core. So what has your experience been with this card? What feelings and thoughts come up when you look at this card? Are they negative or positive?

Leaving things behind and going with the flow or moving to calmer waters. Our soul journey can be a lonely time, a time for solitude where we go within and bring out an abundance of wisdom when we come back to life. But who are we when we go through this transformative time? Some will see a solitary figure moving across the water; others will see a boatman taking a woman and child to safer times. How has the 6 of Swords shown up for you?

The Muse - Chris Anne. Emotions have a depth to them that only the brave would plunge into. Our essence is made of pure joy, happiness, abundance, and love. Our despair is just as deep, filled with pain, sadness, hurt, and distrust. How do we bridge the gap between the two? What commonality is there that can help us decipher what emotions are ours and what is a projection from another? Our own self is the answer; when we stand alone, we feel the elation that courses through our bodies, when in a position of bliss. We feel the pain of aloneness when gripped with fear from the past. The contrast between the two miles apart, finding the balance, where our aloneness is our friend, our creativity alive, love bursting from the seams. Knowing that we deserve all this goodness, at times, brings feelings of guilt. It takes a while to arrive at a place of peace; we need a level of stealthiness once thought of as a negative trait. To identify the gaps releases us from fate. We need to walk in the shadows, releasing the tricks and traps that keep us in pain. In the silence, we work, allowing new versions to arise from the gloom, old parts alive to allow the light in. Our crown of thorns is now a thing of the past; our being is alive, alive at last.
