Daily Tarot: The Star – Mystic Faerie Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

  • Posted on January 15, 2010 at 9:14 pm

My interpretation: The Star fae lounges lazily as she pours the water out of the jugs she holds in each hand. The water pours from these jugs eternally – kind of the way life flows eternally through the universe. While some water is merely poured back to the river from whence it came, some of the water is poured out onto the earth to allow the earth to replenish and spring forth with life. Look to yourself to see what you are wasting (talents) and what you are allowing to spring forth with life.

Interpretation in the book: Your answer, should you find yourself by The Star’s pool, should be very welcome. Whatever has been trying your spirit, whatever difficulties you’ve been facing, whatever sadness has torn your heart, the Star brings a time of serene quiet; a safe, cool place where you can be refreshed and find hope. Once you are renewed and feeling stronger, she will serve as your guiding star to help you find your way. But first, rest. – From A Guide to Mystic Faerie Tarot by Barbara Moore.

To me it seems that she is giving nourishment and life-sustaining water to the earth with one hand, and allowing the water to just run back to the river with the other – more or less to me, symbolizing that talents are either being allowed to wither without the necessary things to develop them, or that talents are being nourished and allowed to flourish, though perhaps not the right ones.

Daily Tarot: Wheel of Fortune – Mystic Faerie Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

My interpretation: Step right up and spin the Wheel of Fortune! Your fate is not in the hands of a wheel but it may seem like it is. Just because the wheel stops somewhere does not mean your life has to take that path. The wheel shows you what you could have – it is your decision as to whether you want to take that path or another. Do not feel as though the wheel has say over your life. It does not. You do.

Interpretation in the book: Your answer isn’t so much about what is happening to you now, but rather about how you face what is happening. See all challenges as opportunities. Look for spiritual lessons as you experience sadness. Remember to express gratitude through your joys. The more you learn to do this, the less traumatically you will be affected with each turning of the wheel. – From A Guide to Mystic Faerie Tarot by Barbara Moore.

To me, the Wheel of Fortune does not turn until we decide to turn it ourselves. We turn the Wheel to see what we will find – the problem is, some people believe that what the Wheel shows them is what is set in stone and is what will happen. So one must always remind them that nothing is set in stone and that things can be changed.

Daily Tarot: The World – Mystic Faerie Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

My Interpretation: The World card features twin fae – reminding us that there is a duality and at least two sides to everything, including ourselves. While one side may be the only side the rest of the world sees, we are all two-sided at the very least. When one side seems to be lacking, check the other side – that duality is there for a reason.

Interpretation given in the book: If you find yourself in the rose garden, you may have either recently completed or soon will complete and important task. You are ready to enjoy success and receive the happy congratulations of others. These moments are, unfortunately, too infrequent and are always the results of some efforts on your part, so do not sweep past it in your hurry to look for your project. If you haven’t recently completed something, the desire for this feeling is directing you to find a challenge. Listen to your heart for you are clearly ready to take on something exciting. – From A Guide to Mystic Faerie Tarot by Barbara Moore.

You know, sometimes I wonder how the people who write the interpretations for the cards come by those interpretations. Some of the cards will say pretty much what the book says, other cards, say something completely different to me. Tarot is about intuition and how the reader sees the symbols – so I suppose the person writing the book is just writing what they see in the cards. :)
