★ You can perform this card reading at any time; the new cycle is just beginning. ★
Today is 09/09/2+0+2+5.
We are carried by the energy of the Hermit (IX) in the Marseille-Waite Tarot.
We are in the ninth month of something that has been growing inside us.
In numerology, that’s the end of a cycle—a death but also a birth.
9 means you are between death and life. Thrown into a positive crisis, but this state is needed if you want to build something new.
One verb to describe the Hermit is: light.
He’s lighting what’s to his left, in the past, the Strength (VIII): tame.
He is cautiously walking towards the Wheel of Fortune (X), what’s ahead of him: accept.
By looking at the Hermit, here’s what I would ask him:
# What are you lightening from the past? Which shadows have you broken?
# You’ve climbed that mountain alone, what have you learned from solitude and darkness?
# Which things did you need to leave behind?
# If I take over your quest, what will be my stick?
# And my lamp?
# How can I find another path so I don't fall into the abyss behind you?
Then, all that you want to ask him can be questions you could ask the cards.
⭐⭐⭐
Take your tarot cards, shuffle them all, and visualize yourself in the Hermit's place. Stop shuffling when you feel ready; you can finish by counting to 9 to encourage the Hermit.
Look for the Hermit in the deck of cards. Take the 3 cards above the Hermit in the deck, then the 3 cards below him. Line them up with the Hermit in the middle, the cards below on his left, and the cards above on his right.
His gaze is directed toward the three cards representing the past cycle (First 3 questions). The three cards behind him represent the cycle to come(Question 4 to 6).
1. What ghosts from the past have manifested themselves during this last cycle?
2. What have I learned from my solitude and introspection?
3. What strength have I cultivated that supports me?
4. For this new cycle, what knowledge or mastery do I need to retain in order to move forward?
5. What strength or courage do I need to develop to remain stable in the face of change?
6. What shadows may lie ahead on my path?
What now ? Be magic 🌙
