A SHOUT FROM THE CARDS

I wouldn't usually post something like this but the fact that my little computer generated tarot reading kept not putting the cards into the reading makes me think something "extra" was at work here. Some cards fell right into place and other "selections" just wouldn't take. I have seen these cards over and over again for decades in my personal readings with the Crowley deck. I think I must listen. (BTW this is a celtic cross reading)
Blessed Be.
Self: The Hermit.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Forego being interested in trivial things.
The card in the Self position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself right now, including how at peace you are with and within yourself.
The Hermit in this position describes an individual who has a relationship with the spirit world instead of society. The Hermit prefers to specialize in what is esoteric or hidden from normal view. He studies the inner sciences -- yoga, tantra, self-cultivation. The Hermit is involved with consciousness development that takes him beyond the limited human ego and puts him in touch with the vastness of cosmic creation. He or she may have very little time for ordinary human commerce and political discourse. All that just seems to be a distraction.
This card points to inner study, the cultivation of unshakeable inner peace. It's about immersing yourself in the mysteries of life at the deepest level. The Hermit looks like an old man but he is just as much an eternal child full of wonder, gazing into the mysteries of the inner life
Situation: The Knight OF Disks.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Those who can access and assist people in high positions also have undeniable influence on the development of others around them.
The Situation position refers to the general set of influences that surround you and affect your personal experience of peace. We all have to deal with conflict and are affected by the process.
When the King of Coins is in this position, an individual with power who can predict and control outcomes is central to the current environment. Your role may be to advise and guide that individual. The King of Coins deserves that support, as long as you perceive that his (or her) actions serve the common good.
The person who has the ear of the king swings the fate of all those nearby. You may be needed to provide some objectivity when this King seems to be lacking it. With the Coin King in this position, you will possible enjoy a wonderful period of overcoming personal challenges that have kept you from enjoying the peace of mind you desire. Despite appearances to the contrary, the people's best interests will prevail with the help of your behind-the-scenes activities, which will help everyone to be fulfilled and happy in their own sphere.
Challenges/Opportunities: Five Of Wands.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Raise the consciousness of those around you. Cooperation instead of competition will bring you into alignment with the greater good.
The card in the Challenges/Opportunities position reflects how you can use creativity and skill to turn conflicts into harmonious understanding.
The Five of Wands in this position challenges you to help raise the awareness of those around you, forsaking competition and instead cooperatively questioning the overall system. This card represents the point at which consciousness moves from a self-centered place to the desire to join forces for a greater good.
As collective consciousness rises above bickering and schisms, you can target the real problem. If you take charge, you'll be able to count on the support of others who themselves have not yet defined the common
Foundation: Ace Of Swords.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
You have the mental resources and self-discipline to be fully prepared before you begin a project.
The card in the Foundation position points to influences from your personal history, your roots and background that have an effect on your capacity for inner and outer peace.
The Ace of Swords in this position suggests that you have learned how to prepare yourself before you undertake a project. Someone demonstrated the value of thinking things through from the beginning. You may have been taken under their wing, or you may have been forced by necessity to learn this lesson the hard way.
In either case, you have learned to harness your energy and channel it precisely. You can research, evaluate and prioritize before you commit time and energy. Your discipline has become a valuable resource. When you pay attention to what makes sense and trust your honed and experienced instincts, you will see all your preparations bear fruit
Recent Past: Nine Of Disks.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Change is in the air; let the memories of your recent successes inspire confidence in your future endeavors.
The card in the Recent Past position refers to events in your life that are departing, recently influential but now diminishing in their power to affect you. You can rise above the conflicts of the past!
With the Nine of Coins in this position, you have just been through an experience of high self-achievement and accomplishment. Without question you earned everything that has come to you as a result.
Now the momentum from that time is winding down. It may be that some aspects of this support system are becoming a memory as the present moves in and separates you from that cherished, easy time.
Higher Power: Queen Of Wands.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Your capacity to inspire and persuade encourages a partner to contribute his or her best.
The card in the Higher Power position represents your highest intention and ideals with respect to the development of peace -- within yourself and in your world.
When the Queen of Wands falls in this position, you may be called upon to inspire your partner and help him or her understand the meaning and benefits of staying focused. At the same time, you are learning what it means to be the kind of person that others strive to be and are motivated by.
You provide a lofty example as you design the dream. Your approval alone can be reward enough to inspire a significant other to put forth the effort needed to achieve his or her best. Use a gentle influence to motivate a partner to improve
Developments: Queen Of Cups.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Go beyond mental images to the truth that lies deep within your heart.
The card in the Developments position shows which way your efforts to achieve harmony seem to be headed. By making skillful choices, you can improve on or neutralize possible conflicts, including those within yourself.
With the Queen of Cups in this position, you are becoming prepared to go deep into your inner storehouse of heart-centered feelings and images and come up with a deeper understanding. Generally, it is necessary to curtail mental activity in order to allow the wisdom of the heart to clearly present itself. This can be accomplished through meditation or skillful counseling.
In any case, the near future presents an opportunity to spring free from the limitations of rational thinking and open to the oceanic realm of feelings, so that something deep and true can be revealed. Cooperate with the warm, radiant energy of your heart, and let yourself be blessed by it.
Lesson: Three Of Cups.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Be willing to give up personal interests in order to support the needs of the greater group.
The card in the Lesson position represents the personal investment or sacrifice required to achieve inner and outer peace.
The Three of Cups in this position indicates that no matter what you see as your own best interests, you must promote what will serve the cohesion and harmony of the group. Your personal bias notwithstanding, the right thing to do is keep the working group, the family unit, the circle of friends together, focusing on collective solidarity.
Emphasize mutual ideals and shared visions for a better world. Don't allow a mood swing or other distractions to undermine the true value inherent to this team of creative co-conspirators. Refocus your heart and mind on the positive potential. Assume the atmosphere will sweeten and you will all be back to producing your best work again.
Allies: Six Of Cups.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
A friend's recognition of your progress helps you to build your self-confidence.
The card in the Allies position points to people who can be supportive of your commitment to peace at this time.
The Six of Cups in this position suggests that you know someone who has a good perspective on your path of personal development. She or he can help you see how far you have come, and how much more proactive you have become.
This could be someone who knows your past or who has witnessed some sort of personal initiation or trial that you have gone through. This person can help you gain a useful perspective on your experiences, which will help you regain the level of self-esteem you are certainly entitled to. Give yourself credit for having moved out of a place of helplessness, towards increasing self-empowerment. This person is your ally, and his or her point of view helps you to have that supportive realization to the fullest extent.
Advice: Prince Of Disks.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Your capabilities are the key to this endeavor which, as a result of your participation, can reap many blessings along with personal development.
The card in the Advice position offers guidance regarding how you relate to your path of cultivating inner and outer peace. With wisdom as your guide, you can make a difference!
When the Knight of Coins (in some decks, a Prince) in this position, you are being advised to put yourself in service to the personal work and issues in front of you. While it may not be thrilling work that brings you wealth and fame, it offers the potential to develop your spiritual, personal and healing goals. Your willingness to move forward may make the difference between a marginal performance and a great one. With your committed resources, your objectives will be enhanced significantly, and you will be blessed tenfold. You will likely be drawn into the details as well as managing the overall activity. With your newfound personal confidence and growth, you can help make this endeavor more than just another good idea.
Don't limit yourself with fear or cynicism about the world around you. Even the humblest beings are potentially precious.
Potentials: Seven Of Cups.
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
The card in the long-term Potentials position points to unknowns still taking shape. Perhaps it represents a "wild card" yet to be played.
With the Seven of Cups in this position, small and seemingly insignificant contacts you make could blossom and grow into important, long-term sources of benefit. Don't imagine that there are any negligible relationships. Each soul to soul contact you make has hidden evolutionary potential. Each time you look into another being and see a spark of God, you project that being and yourself into a more enlightened world.
Assume the attitude of someone who sees the positive potential in the moment. Wean yourself from wasting your imagination on fearful, negative or cynical pictures and ideas. Let your thoughts be of the highest caliber possible.
