C.H. has requested an interpretation of the above cards that were drawn according to the protocol of silently completing the sentence, “Please give me some insight into __________.” C.H . has not told me what (s)he has put into the blank space. The first three cards are the “heart” of the reading and are read as a unit. Then, the fourth card is drawn and read as a summary or clarifier. If we include the summary card, there are two nines in this mini-reading, so we know that this request for insight focuses on C.H.’s wisdom and higher understanding. Becasue there is only one member of the Major Arcana, the context for these insights is primarily C.H.’s everyday life with only a slight connection to her/his soul’s agenda for this lifetime. There are no other two-of-a-kind or more in suits or numbers.
The spotlight has been on the nine of cups, wisdom and higher understanding of your feelings, emotions, relationships, and psychic abilities. You have accumulated a veritable treasure chest of those items. However, you have placed all of them on a shelf and turned your back on them. It is time to give, to share, to put one or more of them into play as you get up off the bench and continue on your path. It’s time to “try it out.” Let go of the fear of making a mistake and the self-doubt. It’s time to turn the potentials into reality.
The spotlight is now on the King of Wands, mastery of the skills and talents. It looks like you have been spending some time and, effort on keeping your skills and talents up-to-date and consistently strong. You are very good at what you do, and you do it without ego involvement; you are willing to share your throne with the king of the salamanders. You inspire others, and even though you sit on the throne, your skills and talents are firmly planted in the real down-to-earth world. You have helped many people and will continue to do so.
The spotlight is moving toward the nine of swords, the nightmare card, one of the timing cards in the deck. This is like the experience of waking up at 2 A.M. and remembering that the car needs an oil change. You feel so much anxiety, like it’s all up to you, and you need to get it done NOW. Nobody’s open at this hour. It will all go much more easily and smoothly if you wait until the sun comes up and the timing is better. You will be better served by getting a good night’s rest at this time. Be sure to ask if the conflict is yours to handle before you engage with it.
The summary card is the Lovers, the gift of healing. What a beautiful gift you have been given, C.H. You will notice that the connection in this relationship is through the angel, not between the two people. You hold the space to give people the permission and the support to heal themselves if that is what they choose to do. The healing comes through you but not from you. You are a receiver, a container, and a transmitter of the Light. Good luck, C.H.
Does this make sense? I hope it was helpful.
