I find it interesting that the astrology correspondences to this week’s reading are so immediately relevant: the Six of Cups represents the Sun in Scorpio, The Fool is Uranus and Judgement is Pluto. Things seem to be lining up for a particular purpose — and if we are wanting to bring about movement, then alignment is the best precursor to that.
Of course, movement also means change, and the reactions to last week’s reading demonstrate clearly one of the prevalent states of the human condition: a fear of change. Most especially, a fear of big change that we feel is beyond our control.
Today, it seems that we are being given a feel for the quality of some of that change. There is a foundation that exists that has its roots in the recognition of a past connection; the stepping out into the unknown towards that foundation; and the calling forth into a new state where something is resurrected through divine intervention. The trumpet blasts in Revelation; the final blast heralding the return to connection.
Something that is altogether personal becomes something that sounds out into the collective, moving from the inside to be felt in the world around us. Inner and outer walls fall away and there is a return to love that is supportive, reverent and karmic.
Let’s start with the card in the centre, which is the one I laid down first.
