Immediately on drawing the first card "Consult an Expert" from my Mermaids and Dolphins Deck I thought Oh boy here we go. I have drawn this card many times and every time it has a slightly different energy feel to it. Today it felt like a warning to stay still and observe. To let go of all ideas of knowing and come open and willing to listen to the words of someone with more experience. Be willing to take advice without resistance, let go of the ego tendency to always 'know better' because the advice we are given is very much going to save us some trouble later on. I also feel that this card very much represents the public sphere also. Maybe some minor law being passed this week that could have profound implications on our day to day? Or perhaps political changes starting to happen this week, that may warrant some seeking expert advice. If you are dealing with legal matters this week be extra careful to read the small print or better yet, have someone with a better understanding of law read and confirm it for you before you sign on the dotted line.
The second card for this week is the "Participation" card from the OSHO Zen deck. I feel a focus on the active participation as opposed to just being present. Pay special attention to your own presence in projects, decisions and changes that affect you. It's an urge to not just be present but be an active participant in projects and ventures that include other people because if you do not I feel as if you are either going to be passed over when an imporant decision is made, excluded entirely from a group or project. I also see this card as a general urge to participate rather than avoid this week. If you are invited to something and you don't know whether you 'feel' like going or not. Heed the card and participate for a pleasant surprise. In relation to the over all week i feel this card confirms that there is something happening in the public arena an event of sorts that requires that you pay attention and is actively participating in keeping up to date with what is going on.
The third and final card is the "Master of Swords" from the IBIS deck of Tarot. Master of swords sort of sealed the deal for this week as it points towards some legal battle or a general discord perhaps a court hearing or again a law being passed. Perhaps it is someone in a position of power that will present an obstacle for the general population. I felt that this card wanted to lean into the other two as if to say it is very much related to the need for expert advice and active participation. So on a personal level I feel I will very much pay attention to any papers I sign or any legal or business dealings in general. Perhaps the Master of Swords will be on your side in which case, if you have a strong authoritative figure in your life, this is the person that will have some advice for you at this point in time. Seek him out to gain some clarity. Even if you normally would avoid going to this person for help.
In summary then this weeks cards focus on paying attention to detail and being very much present and active participants in all aspects of our lives. It urges us to seek advice rather than try to solve problems on our, those relating to legalities. If you like me avoid public media in general this week may be a good week to actually pay attention to what is in the news. I know I will.
