This week’s Minoan Tarot cards offer some helpful advice for navigating these Interesting Times. This deck is my creation, made the old-fashioned way (ink on paper) and available at bookstores everywhere.
Seven of Labryses: This is the card of cooperation and diplomacy. You mustn’t order people around, but you can’t achieve what you desire alone. You’re going to have to speak softly and be willing to compromise. This may take more self control than you think you have, and it will require reigning in your ego, but it’s a necessary step to achieve your goals. This also means working with what you have at hand in terms of people and skills. This card is saying you have what you need to achieve your goals but you must be willing to work with what’s there, even if it’s not what you really wish you had; you must accept what you cannot change.
Two of Horns: This is a card of motion in the physical world, of short-term changes in fortune or in the material arrangement of life. Because the number two cards always represent a balanced duality, there will be gains to offset any losses, either literal or figurative. But change and motion are real, and this card calls on you to join in the dance, skip along with the parade, go with the flow. The changes are for the good, even if the upheaval is hard to handle at the moment. Be flexible, focus on the positive, and you’ll make it through this period before you know it.
For those who are new to these card draws, each week I pull one card from the top of the deck and a second card from the bottom. The top-of-the-deck card (the first one, on the left) gives us some helpful hints about how to navigate our week. The bottom-of-the-deck card (the second one, on the right) is the “secret treasure” that can help us find joy in these Interesting Times.
