Today I am using the Anna K tarot deck to get some insight into the opportunities and challenges of the day.
The first card is Two of Rods and this shows a figure sitting by a crossroad, contemplating which way to go. This is a slightly different depiction of this card. Usually, as shown in other standard decks, there is a feeling of high energy, enthusiasm and passion that is representative of the astrological association of this card with Mars in the zodiac sign of Aries. Here we see this fire energy as a potential and as possibilities, but also as dissatisfaction and impatience which may turn to frustration if the right path is not found. You do have some idea of where you want to go but there is an element of risk involved. Something is holding you back. Is it the lack of knowledge? Not knowing how to channel our energy in the right direction can bring us to such crossroads in life. You may be also held back by a false sense of security that you feel would best be got by staying put where you are. But in not taking action and deciding one way or the other you would be denying yourself a lot of possibilities. Action is the only way out and remember there are no right or wrong pathways here. Every step you take would lead to greater awareness and understanding. Every experience has something to teach. There is an opportunity to carve your own path and come up with a plan of action today. Do not let this opportunity pass just because of lack of timely action. Today is a day to get set go..
The other card is the King of Cups and this is a very different energy to the previous card. Cups carry the elemental energy of water and the realm this energy plays out in is emotions, relationships, deep, inner feelings and passivity. The King of Cups may signify someone in a position of authority, a figure you either fear or look up to and who may have a guiding influence in your life. This person is understanding and cares about your wellbeing while knowing exactly what kind of emotional situation you are most reactive to. It may be a male or a female who wants to direct or control your behaviour with emotions rather than logic and they may have a subtle reining-in effect over you. The challenge today might be in the conflicting desire to be independent of such a strong emotional influence while not jeopardising the security and comfort you have.
The fire and water energies being incompatible there may be a reaction of opposites in your life today. You may feel divided inside and manipulated by someone you may not want to break ties with yet. Take this as an opportunity to develop your plan of action and consider all possibilities before taking the right action.
Have a great day!
