Why All This Waiting?

Today I am using the Celtic Tarot, the mini deck. Yesterday it seemed my whole day was....wait.... wait... wait... wait. And I was wondering what is with all this waiting? Why am I waiting? Here was what the cards said.

Today's cards: Queen of Wands (Jumping Card), 8 of Wands, 5 of Cups and The Chariot reversed

The Queen of Wands is waiting. Isn't that funny? I ask about waiting and the first card is actually waiting, reclining, almost in that come hither way. In truth, it looks like she is waiting for enlightenment or inspiration. I am hearing the world enlightenment. She is exposed, naked and ready. I think that refers to releasing the chaos in our lives and not letting the things of this world trigger us. Can you tell that things don't bother you as much as they used too?

The 8 of Wands is about a lot of energy. Energy like woo, woo. It means we are busy, busy. Lots of stuff is going on. And that may have to do with Thanksgiving approaching. This card also meaning we may receive news from afar. The Queen is waiting on some news to come in, but it may take time.

The 5 of Cups is about focusing ion what we don't have instead of focusing on what we do. We have family. We have friends who will be there for us. Maybe not in all ways, but this reminds us that we are not alone. Lean on someone else if you need support.

The Chariot rider wants to yell "Victory!" But because it is reversed it says - wait! Something needs to manifest or come together first and then all will be ready to move forward.

The Shadow card is the 4 of Pentacles. And the Top Card is the 6 of Pentacles.

The shadow card is what I like to call The Law of Attraction Card. This is where we need to learn to let go of some of our earthly wants. (It may not always mean money.) It may mean being more generous with our time. The 6 of Pentacles is about gratitude and being generous and giving. We need to remember to stay in balance here. Are you over giving? Are you over taking? Underneath the shadow card is The Fool, reversed. You can only move when you let go of something. Once you do, you'll move.

My Take

We are waiting in order to gain enlightenment or illumination. We are ready but we are constantly getting the "wait" message. This is because there is a lot of energy happening right now. Not all the messages may be getting through to us since the energy is so intense. We really need to focus on attaining this for ourselves by waiting and going inside to make our own contact with this information. We are really getting too comfortable where we are and in some ways we are keeping ourselves stuck. Be willing to take risks and step out in faith and do things you might not normally do to spur you on to movement. And then maybe we can turn that Chariot card right side up.

Blessings.
