Dealing with Change

Yesterday before the BlogTalkRadio show, I was shuffling my tarot decks in preparation when three cards flew out in this order- the Chariot, the Tower and the Moon.

The message was instantly clear and is key to dealing with change, both inner and outer, that is taking place for many of us who are feeling the weight of the times. The message is this:

First, their will be an unsettling feeling within that brings up emotions, even though you may present yourself as having it all together. It is not always easy to put your finger on what it is, and it can feel like pent up frustration, pit of the stomach feeling, anxiety, anger, resentment, etc. This is the “calling” for the need to change. This is all related to the Chariot.

Second, the realization will strike you putting your ego in check. Not only must we recognize our part in the this unresolved feeling/issue (whether we were acting it out consciously or unconsciously), we must watch as it tears down who we are – igniting the required change. If we are not responding to the need for change, life has a tendency to force it on us an outer experience that speeds things along. However, there will still be people that will resist change, not moving pas this point. This is all related to the Tower card.

Third, is the time to walk our talk – be the change that we want to see within us/within our world. It is a time of trials and tests to ensure that we have shed the old layers, allowing the new one to function in the world. It is a time to find balance within, between the opposites and extremes of life. We must protect the soft inner changes with our hard outer shell, ensuring that we do not let our old ways be triggered by our environment. This is all related to the Moon card.

Thus we are in the midst of the process of change that others are and will be facing this challenge (note: the Chariot card was pulled in at least 4 of the readings). So… PERSEVERE. Be STRONG. Be BRAVE. And FLOW with the change.
