The other day, the Chariot came up as my card of the day. And then I pulled it the next day, too. A stalker card. I guess it’s trying to get my attention.
One of its meanings is a need to streamline opposing desires. Do I want to be pain-free? Yes. Do I also want to eat bread and pasta which aggravate my bursitis? You know it.
And to cement its attempts to get my attention, about ten minutes after I pulled that card, I got an email with a tarot card spread for manifestation-clarity. It said,
Do you dream of something more in life, but aren’t quite sure what that looks like? Maybe you want a bigger house but also dream of giving it all up to travel the world. Or you hope for love but worry you might lose yourself in a relationship. Or you like the idea of starting your own business but enjoy the security of working for someone else…
Those are all opposing desires. Do you think the Universe is trying to get my attention?
The question for the first card of the spread included in the email was What does my Highest Self truly want to manifest?
You’ll note that this question isn’t about which of the two desires to go with. It’s asking for the internal True North. Which way does my compass point? What does it look like when I align with my Highest Self’s desire?
I used Colette Baron-Reid’s Oracle of the 7 Energies deck for this question. The card I received was The Uncharted Sea.
The card is about moving out of one’s comfort zone, doing things differently and knowing that everything will turn out well. It says, “Embarking on this journey is essential for your well-being.” And it’s right. I love being curious, trying new things, exploring wonderful new places in the world as well as inside myself.
Now it’s your turn. If you have an oracle card deck, as you shuffle and choose a card, focus on the question What does my Highest Self truly want to manifest? (Or you can journal on the question.) Then spend time asking yourself:
- When I align with this truth (the card you receive), how is my life different?
- What limiting beliefs keep me from aligning with this truth?
- And what intention should I focus on to bring this truth to life?
Let me know what you pull and what it means to you.
