CANCERS’
2014
NINE OF
PENTACLES
This card is one of the most richly
symbolized of all; in the suite of pentacles. With a number of meanings and
interpretations, it’s making your life ahead interesting and eventful.
On the most basic level, it heralds a
material and/or financial gain; indicating a good time ahead this year; in
these fields of your life.
And these blessings wouldn’t be just
lucky shot-they would be rewards of your own efforts.
In the picture; the figure stands
alone-surrounded by so many coins (the pentacles). This shows that your
personal needs would have more than enough to look after; and financial supply
for your own needs wouldn’t run out.
The card also shows a lot of nature
around you-signaling you to spend some time outdoors; because that’s where
you’d find the wealth as well as would be joyfully enjoying it.
However, I’m sure you might have
noticed that by now, the figure stand alone. This may indicate an emotional
isolation-in spite of having everything else you could possibly wish for.
And this ‘everything’ could very well
have been the reason for this.
Nine of Pentacles is also a sign of
hard work, discipline and practical approach and planning up to this point of
time. And none of them are very good friends of emotions. But now all your
personal burdens have been seen to; and you can safely concentrate on your
extra-material needs.
Not only romantic partners, but this
card also indicates a high time to start looking back at all the people once
close to you-that you were forced to walk too ahead of for them to keep up- and
seeing if you could possibly rope them back in your circle.
A high time for group projects and
goals on the career/financial front can also be expected; if you had been
working alone until now.
FIVE OF
SWORDS
This is the card of ‘mental acceptance
to change’. The change that it wants
to talk about may (or may not) refer to the ending of the old and persevered,
but yet obsolete, emotional situation.
Whatever the change might be, it would
most likely be occurring through an exchange of words, where each person would
be speaking out their minds-and not necessarily agreeing with each other. So
you wouldn’t be wrong in concluding that, in the simplest forms, this card
depicts disputes and arguments.
It may also be hinting towards a
parting of ways as the final outcome of the dispute (see the way the figures in
the backdrop have their backs turned towards the central one, in a pose of
walking away).
But don’t despair so fast. Since this
card is not reversed, so the effect of this parting wouldn’t be a negative one
on your lives. And, on a definitive upside, if you love winning arguments, no
matter what (well, most Gemini natives do), then you can be assured that you would
emerge out to be the winner out of this argument.
A downside could be that you would
offend people so much while en route
to this victory that when the moment would come for you to lift your trophy
(the swords in your hand), you may find yourself a bit too much deserted.
Then it lies on your shoulders to
decide whether to, or not to, go for this victory because every body’s lives
are different; and even Tarot Cards cannot give any cut-and-dried formula that
would apply in each of the cases.
THE TOWER
To be honest; I can’t pretend to have
a single morsel of thrill to have this card before me-and neither should you.
However, there’re some lessons in this
card that you need to learn-either the hard way (by letting this card come true
in its full form and figure) or the easy way (may come across as anything but
easy to you in the first look; but is actually the better end of the deal.
Trust me on that. You don’t want ‘The
Tower’ to teach you a lesson.).
The lesson is of not having too much attachment-to anything. It could be a person, a
treasured possession or some really old habit that you never plan to come out
of.
The Tower is the harbinger of a
change-that is approaching too speedily to avoid. Your life is sure to be put
on a testing table. You would do better to go along with it- and ensure
personally that you have your life back in one piece.
The best you can do is to humbly
accept the change that it asks for-and maybe you could avoid even more dire
consequences of having the fate change it.
For example;
if you have an addictive habit (tobacco, alcohol, or even eating with a
particular spoon), you would do better to shed it yourself-rather than make the
circumstances make you do it, in their own way. Their ‘ways’ can include
terminal stage of cancer, liver sclerosis or even making you lose the
particular spoon along with lots of other things in the bag where you keep it.
The change would still be happening in
any case whatsoever. But in the former, at least you would be allowed the saving
grace of saying that you left the particular thing yourself; and nobody had to
force you for it.
