With a terrible fixing, Inanna is nailed down. The potential of her ‘myriad offices’ and capacities is grounded; and this actualization seems to be part of what fertilizes a new spirit within her, just as limitation can evoke creativity.

I had a strange feeling of wanting, and not wanting, to do a reading today, and had to spend a little time unpicking that before it became clear — it is often the case that insight takes a while to catch up with intuition. The realisation that presented itself is this:
For those who found last weekend’s reading meaningful, the cards seem to be asking for us to hold them in consciousness a while longer; they are needing room in which to work. Two major arcana cards (The High Priestess and The Hermit) surrounding a minor arcana card that can provoke a lot of feeling (Three of Swords) has the ability to unearth quite a bit that requires processing if it is to be integrated in a way that feels meaningful. That is the part that was calling for me to give it space, to give it time. So be it.
However, having got that part of the message, there still felt like a need for a new reading today. So where does this leave us? Here’s the thing: Weekly readings tend not to be as boundaried as we might think that they are. Like the Daily Astrology reports, which flow into each other, the Weekend Tarot Readings often have an influence that lasts longer than a week. It’s just that a new idea takes over as the one in the spotlight with the arrival of a new reading.
