A different timbre of reading this week; the cards are out of the realm of swords that seem to have held us in a grip here for so long in the Weekend Tarot Reading, and into the realm of matter, and a period of deep transformation that is just beginning to sound its call.
We start with the Page of Pentacles — a child of wonder, standing in fertile meadows, small flowers at his feet, the sky awash with sun-yellow. Know the Page in your body-awareness. He is a child of nature; he has something to tell you about yourself and your place in the world. He shows you something about what it is to be conscious of yourself as a physical being, open to the gifts that life brings. He holds those gifts gently — not grasping or clinging, but with tenderness. They are the potential that is bestowed by grace, and the Page is learning to co-exist with it and let it unfold to him.
What is coming up is Judgement. Although the card’s imagery has strong biblical overtones, what it really describes is resurrection and redemption. What needed to die has made room for new life, and the angel above is calling the figures below to a sense of their destiny. There is a uniting under the blast of a trumpet — a divine resonance — whose waves ripple into the body and the soul.
