TRANSCRIPT:
Hey there! This is Jonathan Lionheart with your Weekly Tarot Reading. Once again this week, you’re going to have the option to choose between three different readings to activate your intuition and help get a more accurate reading. So you can always grab a private reading with me down below. And I’m excited for you to take a look at what’s coming up for you in the week ahead. All right, let’s, let’s take a look.
So wherever you happen to be right now, give yourself a moment to take a few deep breaths, maybe close your eyes. And just take the temperature, or check the weather of your interior. Notice your body, breath. And just how you’re feeling in this moment. You might tune in with your heart space. And notice that there’s something you’re needing, or something that you’re really wanting to have answered in this moment. And tune in, tune in with that for a moment.
All right, let’s take a look at what we have for the week. As we’ve been doing recently, there will be three different options for you to choose from. So I’m going to set the intention there.
We call out to the grandmothers and the grandfathers of the north, the south, the east, and the west. Call out to Mother, Father, God, the denizens of light, the angels and archangels. And the deep ones, the rooted ones, please be with us now. Help us to bring forth the clear message and any and all supportive energy for those who are watching right now. What are the perfect options for those who are watching right now?
So this will be our first option here underneath the selenite. Our second option will be here underneath the opal. And third option will be here underneath the purple fluorite. So give yourself a moment to look at each of these options. And notice which one is calling to you the most, which one do your eyes and your feelings keep anchoring you back towards? Trust your intuition. And once you’ve made a choice we’ll begin by looking at our first card.
First Card – Selenite
Our first option, the selenite. So for those of you that chose the selenite this reading will be for you.
Alright, so first card will be the situation. Second card is your Obstacle. And third card will be the Outcome. We’ve got a little, a little jumper here. Let’s see how that plays into it.
So for those of you who chose the selenite this will be your reading. We’ve got our first card.
So our Situation card this week for you is our Ten of Cups. And this is a fantastic first card to come out. Ten of Cups is the ultimate degree of relational happiness, of connection of feeling joy and inspiration. And it’s really kind of the ideal place of relationships and communication and being connected with one another.
So this could be a sign that you’re enjoying time with your family. You’re feeling really connected with those around you. Things are running at a very smooth, in a very smooth way. This week could start out feeling have – really joyful, really happy. You could be experiencing sort of a sense of contentment at its highest level. So that’s really exciting.
Particularly to begin the week, let’s take a look at your Obstacle card. So this could be a bit of what’s getting in the way or what might be causing a little bit of trouble. And we’ve got our Ace of Swords in that position for you this week.
And the Ace of Swords, the Ace of Swords is like getting a brand new idea of fresh insight into something. It’s seeing things with new clarity. However, when it’s in the Obstacle position, it could be that there’s a little bit of either feeling disconnected from new ideas, new flow of information, or that a new idea or a new insight isn’t quite meshing with those around you. You’re more feeling like you want to acquiesce or go with, go with the crowd, rather than bring in this new idea, this new insight.
So there’s something there that’s being blocked, something being blocked around the information that wants to come in for you.
Let’s take a look at what your Outcome card is. So the Outcome card for the week is our Queen of Swords. And in relationship with what we’ve seen so far, part of what this is letting me now is that while you might be really enjoying maybe the people you work with, or the people you’re spending time with, there’s a possibility that you’re kind of compromising your own insights and your own ideas.
In other words, rather than being true to some of the new ideas that are wanting to come in, or some of the new perspectives that are wanting to come in, you’re kind of going with keeping things peaceful, keeping things easy. And what’s being recommended here is actually creating a bit of differentiation between your ideas and your perspectives. And what it is that other people are wanting or other people – the direction that other people are going. It’s letting you know that it’s okay to create a little bit of distance while you’re forming your own perspectives. And while you’re forming your own opinions.
Let’s take a look at what your Advice card is for the week. This is great. So the Page of Pentacles in the Advice position is a reminder to both be humble and willing to learn and grow. But also to still do your own research, look at things from your own perspective, to be willing to walk your own walk, that there can be a balance here. You don’t have to either.
Just so you know, the Queen of Swords is a little bit, she’s rather aloof. The relational realm isn’t exactly the area that she’s most capable in. So you can still be detached and curious and hold your own perspectives. And you can still be humble enough to be in good relationship and good connection with those around you. And that’s being shown by our Page of Pentacles, who is able to be grounded enough to both have their own opinions, but also stay connected and humble and willing to learn when it’s time to be the student.
So for those of you that chose the first card, that’s your reading for this week, thank you for tuning in. And I always love hearing from you. I hope you have a great week. I’ll see you next time.
Oh, before we go on now, I almost forgot to bring this piece, which this feels to me like an important – it’s an important piece of this conversation because it’s speaking to the ability to hold your own boundaries. And also realize that you’re not that far off from being able to do what it is that you’re truly wanting to do.
The Nine of Wands is generally a sign that things can feel a little bit destabilized or a little bit challenging. Like it could be challenging to hold your own boundaries and know who you are, but you’re not far away from being able to do that. You’re getting really close to a place where you can feel secure as yourself and simultaneously feel related to others.
Alright, so that’s that little added piece. Thanks again for those of you that chose the first card and I look forward to connecting with you soon.
Second Card – Opal
All right. So for those of you that chose the opal, in the second card, this will be the reading for you this week. So I’m going to pull some cards for you now. All right, let’s take a look here.
So your first card is going to be the Situation. Second card is the Obstacle. And third card will be your Outcome. Let’s take a look here.
Let’s take a look at our Situation card. So your first card for this week is the Six of Wands. And in the New Dawn lingo, this would be the victory card, it’s a card of really achieving what it is that you’re wanting to achieve, feeling confident, feeling capable. Often it’s a card of being seen by others, being appreciated by others, even celebrated by others.
So for some of you coming into this week, you could feel like you’ve got a full steam of energy and self confidence to enter into anything that you’re trying to achieve this week. For others, you might be getting quite a bit of attention.
As the week gets started, whether you’re blowing up in some way in social media, or the people around you, co workers or bosses, they’re seeing just how capable you are. So this could be a really great boost of confidence.
As the week gets started, let’s take a look at your Obstacle for the week. We’ve got our Knight of Pentacles. So I kind of like the interesting tension that’s between these two, the Six of Wands is a card of, like, bravado and getting things moving and getting it going. The Knight of Pentacles is a little bit more conservative, he’s like: take it slow, don’t go too fast, make sure you dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s.
So there might be an influence in your life that is saying: “Don’t go so fast. Don’t get so big. I don’t want you to move past me. I don’t want you to surpass where I’m at.”
There could be someone either – this could be somebody that you know. This could be a relationship. For some of you this might be yourself. There could be a part of you that is saying, “Oh, no, no, no, it’s not good to grow fast. It’s better to move slow.”
Somewhere in all of this, there’s an influence that is wanting you to take things one step at a time, whereas some of your energy this week is, like, ready to rock and roll.
So let’s take a look at what your Outcome card is for the week. So this is great. I like the way that this reading is balancing out. Because the Outcome is reminding you to take a step back, find some room where you get to listen to what’s true for you, and not get swayed or pushed one way or the other way by others.
This is a reminder to go inward, touch base with what your own rhythm is, what’s your own process, because on the one hand, there might be others that are sort of boosting you up that are saying: “Yeah, go for it, go for it. Like it’s time to make it, time to make moves.”
And this can be influencing you to try to sort of really grow fast really, really build things quickly. And at the same time, you might have both your inside self, as well as people around you saying, no, no, no, no, no.
The best thing to do is actually to be patient, to slow down, to take things one step at a time. And what is being asked of you – is for you to actually go in: What’s your rhythm? What’s your timing? What feels the most natural and authentic and alive for you?
So this, by the end of the week, it’ll be important for you to take some time by yourself. Get some good meditation in or a nice long hike by yourself, or a good long bubble bath and some journaling, whatever it is that you do to touch base with your essence, with your way that’s going to be really important for you.
So let’s take a look at your Advice card for the week. Awesome. So the Advice card this week is the Ten of Pentacles. And whenever the Ten of Pentacles is showing up in an Advice position, it’s often a reminder to look at the long term.
What is it that’s sustainable through generation upon generation? What are the values that you can rely on, that have survived over many generations? What are the techniques that have survived over many generations?
And for those of you that feel deeply connected with a spiritual lineage, or a particular sort of tribal lineage, this is the time to get in touch with your ancestors, get in touch with that line of wisdom, and let it help you find the right rhythm and the right movement for you at this time, so much of this particular reading is about pace and timing. It’s about how it is that you’re nurturing the authentic energy, in essence, that is yours, and letting that be the guiding force for you at this time.
All right. So for those of you that chose the second card, thank you so much for tuning in. Let me know how this lands for you. I always love hearing from you. And I’ll see you next week. Take care.
Third Card – Fluorite
All right. So our third card for those of you that chose our third card with the purple fluorite here. This is going to be the reading for you. I’m going to tune in and pull some cards. And we’ll see what’s going on for your week ahead.
All right, so first card is going to be your Situation card. Second one will be the Obstacle. And third card will be the Outcome. So let’s take a look here.
Take a look at your Situation card. It’s funny because many people see this as a bit of a chaotic card. And it can be for some reason this is one of my favorite cards, because it’s a phase in one’s process that has to do with clarifying what’s yours and what’s others. It’s a card of clarification.
It’s a card of cutting away what doesn’t belong. I use the word differentiation often. And it’s the place of going: “This is for me, this isn’t for me. This is what I want. This is not what I want.” It’s a time of getting really clear about what is right for you, what is true, what is clarifying, versus what is distracting and chaotic.
So often this can show up when there is some chaos, some sense of messiness, some sense of not knowing exactly what’s true, or what’s not true. So for some of you, this might be showing up in relationship to a connection in your life. For others, it could be with career and purpose. But something is needing your attention and clarification. Something is needing for you to get down and dirty and say, what is it that I really want? What is it that’s really true here?
So let’s take a look at what the Obstacle card is. So this is our Justice card, the Major Arcana Justice card, and this is another great card and you might notice that once again, we’ve got a sword prominently shown in the imagery here. So something is needing to get clarified through truth. The sword is often a symbol of the clarification of truth, the use of the mind to find what’s true, what’s honest. Sometimes it’s through the word. The word It is the sword in a sense – logos.
And so in this situation, you could be dealing precisely with legal matters, there could be legal matters that you’re facing right now that have created a sense of uncertainty, a sense of trouble in your life. And so this is a sign that that could be something that’s definitely going on.
For others of you, this could be showing up in terms of something that has been unfair, or imbalanced, that you’re now having to deal with. This could be something that someone else has done to you, that’s created quite a bit of strife and pain in your life. And now you’re trying to get things to an equal place, get things to a place of fairness. That could be really challenging at the moment.
So let’s take a look at what your outcome card is, because I’m getting the sense. While this might be reaching ahead this week, it’s quite possible, it’s most likely that this is a bigger challenge that you have been facing over a period of time. So let’s take a look at our Outcome card.
So this is a really good sign. As far as I’m concerned, the Queen of Cups in this particular context is a reminder to find those that want to support you that want to help bring some love and some nourishment to you. It’s a reminder to nourish the softer side of yourself.
These two initial cards are pretty warrior oriented, right. She is swinging that sword trying to clarify things. She’s not so worried about the feeling side of stuff. She’s trying to get clarity. And if this, this tends to be very impersonal, right? The Justice card is just the tides, the ebbs and the flows, and the currents of the universe, whether that’s legal movements, or the movement of karma, right, the movement of the universe, finding balance.
And so the Queen of Cups is a reminder to be giving yourself the human kind of kindness, and compassion and nourishment that one needs when they’re dealing with complicated situations.
So this could represent somebody specific in your life, a counselor, a friend, a mother, a spiritual support person. This is a reminder to get some support, to support yourself to love yourself, and to get the kind of help that will help you feel nurtured during complicated times.
So the Advice card for you this week under our little fluorite card, let’s take a look here. All right. So the Advice card is the Eight of Swords. So this is a two or maybe three fold piece of advice.
The first part being: Are you where you belong? The question is, are you in an environment, are you in a situation that feels alien to you? Or, and if so, it’s time to go find a place that feels safe. It’s time to go to known territory, known waters so that you can feel safe.
The other piece that is showing up for this is encouragement not to get lost in your thoughts, not to get lost in your thoughts and fears. But to get down into the emotional side of things. Let yourself feel emotionally supported in such a way that you can express your emotions.
The final piece that is coming with the Advice here is that what might feel stuck or like you’re trapped – You’re not as stuck as you think. A lot of it is just in your mind. So don’t don’t let yourself get pulled away from the truth by spinning in a mental mate’s.
Alright, for those of you that chose the third card, this is your reading. Thank you so much for tuning in. It’s always a pleasure to get to spend time with you. Let me know how this resonates. And I look forward to connecting with you next time.
So thanks, everybody. Thank you for touching base. I love connecting with you. And I look forward to seeing you next time. Take care. All right, bye bye.
