25th July 2020...Hanging around.

Today's storytelling.
Hanging around.
And from the universal comms team a song from The Stranglers
" Hanging around "

Let's see what we're hanging around for with our cards today shall we ?
First card out today is the 2 of swords ( swords representative of the air element and of thought and mind)
Today I feel our subject is overwhelmed with the conflicting, polarised messages coming into her awareness.
Everywhere she turns there are opposing sides. The mixed messages and information is confusing.
There's a feeling of nothing being clear. And yet she is at a crossroads, decisions to be made 🤔 choices to be taken.
Our second card today is the queen of cups ( cups representative of the water element and of feelings and emotions) it looks as though she is waist deep in the waters of emotion. She is surrendering to her deep inner knowing and intuition.
Following the confusion of our first card, we now see our subject connecting in with higher guidance,
She also appears to be sending healing and compassion to the world around her.
The red dress she wears signifing her basic instincts and the fundamental need for saftey and security.
In order to facilitate growth and change, it appears that the basal needs have to be attended to first and foremost. The words
" foundation , security and safety " come up very strongly.
Our final card for today is 12 the hanged man.
The green of the card jumps out at me today.
It's the colour of the heart chakra and of healing. Her trousers are the lime green of new will.
Below her the water is a turquoise colour,
Swirling around with runic symbols.
Her vest is a grey colour of stillness or stuckness; dependant on her viewpoint at any given moment.
When looking at this through the eyes of a storyteller, it says to me the of a need for more healing being required, that stillness is required before new will can drive us forward to drive the momentum of the flow below her .
More and more light appears as she watches and waits. What an opportunity to simply surrender and see life from a totally new viewpoint.
Instead of the polarised viewpoints of our first card; with their unease and separation, she can now see not only a bigger picture, but have the potential to tap into a whole new paradigm of understanding.
"Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?"
