There are some striking parallels between today’s reading and the previous Weekend Tarot Reading, on May 25.
Last time, the card on the left was the Eight of Wands; this time, it is the Nine of Wands. The card on the right last time displayed a fragile bloom made of light; this time, there is a petal-shedding flower backed by a darkened sky. The centre card was The Moon; this week, that has made way for a similar globe — this time, the rounded belly of fertile creativity.
Some things the same; yet, this is also different. It is a shift, either in circumstances or emphasis, suggesting a different feel, perhaps offering choices that were not available — or were not as visible as they are now.
The key card here is the card in the centre. The two words that I can discern on the card are “renewal” and “Harmony”, which in turn evoke the concept(ion)s of evolution and attunement. The Princess of Disks is very much attuned to her own environment, her golden hair at one point undulating into a loose wheat sheaf, her leafy mask becoming feathered, the folds of material gathering towards her at her waist, as if embracing her.
She is unable to see; she doesn’t need it. She feels, is sensate. Her body tells her everything; the world moves to meet her body.
