Earlier today I asked "what's up (for me)?" with the tarot and got:
16 - the tower. which I see as the 'big change' card and the breakdown of old systems. Since I was most particularly interested in the personal effect which this card does not necessarily, indicate (in the sense that one might benefit personally from change or have much destroyed) I drew again + got:
Page of Swords (reversed) which indcates exposure or bringing things to light and again can feel like freedom or being caught out. So I drew again w:
1 - the magician - who I see as someone wielding 'magic' and science (one is the other once it is understood better) which I see as bringing with it a potentially capricious edge that again brings in the ambiguity of what to expect on a personal level. So (wondering how many cards it would take to get what at the gist of how the overall effect would fell) I drew again, getting:
20 - judgment which I found, at last, to be unambiguous with respect to what I was after; a reawakening, new purpose and clearing of old dogma to be replaced with an expanded vision that accepts responsibility fo one's limitations and the courage to make any changes necessary
Overall, my impression from this set would be one of biiig change all around with a personal feeling of new purpose and ability to make the changes necessary to clear the cobwebs to start anew, albeit with lessons learned from the old wisdom and experiences
Later I asked the Sabian Oracle the same question "What's up (for us)?" though with a particular interest in everyone altogether. This answer, in some ways, I found even more interesting, with the emphasis on literally new elements being formed and huge, deep shifts. I especially like the line about quiet changes happening that are suddenly reflected as a complete shift in attitude, or via an event and the part about essential and new levels of awareness. Plus, how could I not pay close attention to a card that not only speaks of volcanoes, earthquakes, earth, wind, fire and water but crystal healings
Clearly, brand newness abounds up ahead is the message I am getting:
Sagittarius 8
DEEP WITHIN THE DEPTHS OF THE EARTH, NEW ELEMENTS ARE BEING FORMED
This Symbol shows a lot going on underneath the surface, often more than other people would suspect. It speaks of shifts, sometimes huge shifts, going on on a deep level, and these are not always evident. Often, changes are quietly happening and all of a sudden the changes are reflected on the outside through an event or a complete shift in attitude. There will be new responses to life coming from deep within your mind and soul. This creation of new and essential levels of awareness is a part of the natural result of inner changes. Although they may not be easy to observe, very strong fundamental changes are happening. Deep elemental processes and change. Shifting of conservative values. Mining in its many forms. Crystal healing. Colloidal minerals. Organic shifts and changes. Volcanoes.
The Caution: Moving forward while elements are still forming. Denying inner processes as unimportant. Not showing any change on the surface. Clinging stubbornly to old and outworn ways. Being afraid of change, particularly that which can't be seen. Unhealthy growths. Tumors.
Keywords: Deep elemental processes and change. Shifting of conservative values. Mining in its many forms. Crystal healings. Minerals, mining, colloidal minerals. Organic changes and shifts. Volcanoes and earthquakes. Earth rumblings. Reaching maturity. Earth, wind, fire and water. Mud and steam. Alchemical shifts.
