Tarot Card for the Day, November 4, 2013, (Shadowscapes Tarot Deck)

Death - XIII

Sometimes people who see a death card become scared right off the bat. And understandably so. I have heard that surveys show that death is the thing that more humans fear than anything else. But I don’t believe the death card has a bad meaning. And in many cases, if our attitudes are right, there doesn’t have to be any pain or misfortune associated with it.
So, now that I’ve got that out of the way and hopefully none of you have cringed when you saw what card we have for the day, let’s get on with the message here for us.
I see the death card actually as a very good card. And being a Scorpio, it kind of figures that I would. Us Scorpios are all about looking inside and facing our fears, and then letting them go so that we can move forward.
Sacred Spirit is using the energy of this card today to convey to us that it is time for a spiritual shift in each of our own personal lives. It’s time to let something go. So that we can move forward.
Because I’m interested in numerology, although not an expert in it yet, I decided to look up the significance of the number thirteen. I came across this blog entry: http://numerology-thenumbersandtheirmeanings.blogspot.com/2011/05/number-13.html that I found very interesting. It says that “Number 13 is the number of upheaval, so that new ground can be broken.”
That really resonates with our message tonight. With everything that has been going on in the stars lately, most of us are going through some kind of uncomfortable stuff in our lives right now. Most of the people that read here are pretty much still holding everything together….but a break sure would be nice anytime soon.
Spirit is using this card to point us to part of the solution. Each of us has something that we need to shift the energy around. The death card usually isn’t literally talking about death, as much as it’s talking about a change where something is lost. Maybe it’s a home, or maybe it’s a friendship, or maybe it’s an old idea that hasn’t been serving us well. Many times, although not always, this loss can be very uncomfortable for us. But the thing is, as uncomfortable as this loss is for us, once we acknowledge those feelings, and let them go as well, we can look around and realize that we are in a better place than we were before the whole mess got started in the first place. If we handle this change gracefully, giving the universe more room to maneuver on our behalf, it doesn’t even have to be uncomfortable. If we can just trust that the universe is moving us towards the next step on our life path, that perspective helps each of us to stay calmer as we go through this shift.
We’re all growing! Yay!
Peace,
Amista
