The Sun - The Truth
On most mornings, I ask the question “What do I need to know today?” I choose one of my decks, and draw a single card. My current favorite deck is The Gothic Tarot of the Vampires. It is steeped in the mythology of the vampire, and the art on the cards is very modern. (I have been watching True Blood and The Vampire Diaries recently, and just saw the New Moon movie last week, so I guess that’s where my head is at right now.)
This morning, I had to report to jury duty for the third day in a row. The card I drew was the one you see above. The little white book that comes with the deck offers this: “Clarity, appreciation, understanding, looking for the truth beyond the surface of things.” Had I been selected to hear evidence in an actual case, this would have been very good advice. As it turned out, I spent most of the day waiting around. I puzzled over this card for a while afterwards, then I remembered something. About an hour after I got to the courthouse, the case I was supposed to be on was settled. The judge came down and explained it was partly because the jury – including me – was there, ready to go. I did indeed get some clarity. I had a new appreciation for my role, however randomly it came about, in the justice system. I also understood that I was where I was supposed to be, even though it seemed on the surface, that I was wasting my time.
It never ceases to amaze me how appropriate these cards are if I’m open to their messages! Do you have a particularly appropriate reading you did recently for yourself or someone else? Leave a comment here, or e-mail me at evephoenix@thetarotcorner.net.
