 My mom died two weeks ago. I feel suspended in time and space and rather lost. Em Elle Tarot has has given me great readings and now I am pulling for myself. What I am leaving behind, What is holding me during this transtion, Where will I land. Knight of Swords, The Lovers, King of Cups As I laid the cards, the Knight is flying to the left, out of the spread. With mom passing (for one thing) there is one less worry about her care and her situation. I know her nursing home was top notch, but it's still hard to accept she needed care I couldn't provide. Losing Medicaid was constantly on my mind, as well as the pre-grief of knowing the end was near. This owl is behind me, although there are some feathers still left behind. I know I'm a worrier - this may be the ends I need to clear up. Right now I feel supported by my ancestors and the love I shared with my parents. That last is bittersweet because I miss them so very much. Memories sustains my connection to them. The last de...

Tarot Read for Cardinal Pizzaballa as of April 27

Image
The Emperor's jumped as I shuffled and I did not expect this.  Cardinal Pizzaballa is the Patriarch of Jerusalem, a post he didn't expect or feel qualified for. Keep that in mind. I leaned into this when  I drew, The Moon, Ace of Pentacles  and Knight or Wands reversed. On the one hand, the Moon is hidden depths, on the other, it can be unknown information.  The Vatican has posted information on all the Cardinals (their positions on certain topics! Age, education) He is a Franciscan and a Taurus. My initial reading after Pope Francis died, was the next pope would be a water sign. We'll see. I think there's solid ground for this man (Ace) but the Knight of Wands reversed could mean he gets stuck/stymied, either in Conclave or as Pope. It could also mean a push against any progressive program. I drew Knight of Pentacles reversed for Pizzaballa's card, noting that Ace of Pentacles showed up in his spread. His shadow card is Death reversed. I'm taking this as showi...

Tarot Pull on Pope Francis’s Death and Legacy

Image
Legacy of Pope Francis 4/21/2025 Decks: Dark Mansion for Celtic Cross,  Influence of the Angels for Pope Francis Which Card reps Pope Francis? King of Wands. Fitting too, because he is a Sagittarius.< /b> Jumper: The World. Francis’s life and legacy touched so many people and his life and his passing resonates globally. He is repped by the King of Wands, a passionate leader with deep beliefs and this is crossed by the Lovers, showing his consecration to the divine and commitment to shepherding the Church. The foundation card, Ace of Swords is his ability to discern, a fundamental part of his life and definitely shows his Jesuit education and teaching. For Catholics, this can also represent the Archangel Micael’s Sword of Truth, another reflections of discernment.  In the Higher aspect position, the Seven of Cups reversed appears. I’m surprised this is a minor arcana card. Right now, I’m taking this to reflect that there was much work he felt he couldn’t complete. In fac...
