Your Week Ahead: September 20 to 26, 2020 – The Interior Voyage

2 of Cups, 6 of Swords, and The Moon, from the Rider Waite-Smith tarot deck.

Sincerity is the trade of good fortune and the wind that blows our sails. Our week starts with messages of love and forbearance, and a genuine tone of acceptance. We are in a very supportive environment which is allowing much reciprocation and space to be open and honest. We can let our guard down and share how we feel. We are heard as we ourselves open and listen.

What is being said? Can we do more than just listen? Can we embark on a journey by allowing ourselves to be broadened by what we hear? Taking a leap of faith and going down a path that we didn’t expect can be deeply rewarding at this time. When we are participating in such a relationship, we move past certain barriers and surrender to the unknown.

Feelings of chaos and messiness can often accompany such unpredictable surprises. However, they can also be the most valuable. If we want to truly experience something outside of our domain, we need to experiment with the unknown. To be curious and spontaneous is when we move with the life force around us.

It might be a welcome change after so much around us seems mired in conflict and control. We might have felt caught up in turmoil and shaken by our questioning of truths passed down to us amid our disturbing cancel culture behaviour. Maybe what we are sharing of ourselves and what needs to be heard is really that we are moving into some very deep waters emotionally and psychically.

We need to talk about this and to listen. When we do, we take off the pressure and move into a gentle environment when voice and reason become nourished in intuition and feeling. We are stirred and the waters of the psyche are showing us something vital to our next steps. To freely walk in the land of our unconscious will take courage.

If you’ve ever awoken in the middle of the night and went outside to see the moon shining brightly, you will know the sensation of the mind bridging between seen and unseen, sanity and lunacy, the mundane and the awesome.

We must make friends here, in this wildness. We must breathe deeply in our fears. We must stand awake amid a field of hallucinations and know the truth. The man’s face in the 2 of Cups is shining (or reflected?) in The Moon.

If we find ourselves in unfamiliar landscapes, let us take in those messages we hear, as they echo from the bright day of light, into the far infinitudes of space and night.
