Reaching For The Stars ~ Tarot for 3 October 2016

The Star, the 3 of Cups, and the 10 of Pentacles are present in today’s three-card reading. The elements of Water and Earth along with one card from the Major Arcana are represented suggesting that our emotional and physical presence are influencing things today.

But we begin with a wish upon a star with the 17th card of the Major Arcana. The Star reflects the Goddess, her nakedness suggesting openness and purity. She bridges the abyss as the Blessed Conduit between physical and nonphysical presence. She pours water in equal balance suggesting we balance our emotions with our more practical side. Our dreams become reality when this card presents, our intuition providing the insight necessary to manifest whatever we choose. The bright star above her head speaks to hope and inspiration, bright prospects ahead.

The 3 of Cups aligns our mind, body, and Spirit in harmony and balance. The three women sit together around a table sharing more than just the cups and food before them. Dreams, feelings, hopes, and wishes suggested by The Star are all shared and celebrated by these three friends.

In the last position, the 10 of Pentacles depicts wealth and prosperity gained from our manifested dreams. The couple looks at each other as they survey all they’ve achieved over their lives together, their love for each other evident in their gaze. The staffs cross, indicating a comfortable balance that’s felt between the two. They both extend and receive the blessings of a life well lived having created a legacy they can pass on to future generations.

The numerology of the reading is 17, 3, and 10 respectively. Adding the three together we arrive at 30 which reduces to 3. Spirit, mastery, creativity, synthesis, and fulfillment are felt with the 3 suggesting that it’s time our dreams became our reality. It’s interesting that the 3 of Cups is placed in the middle of the spread, in the place of balance, and now we see that the numerology of the reading itself is also 3, supporting our creative efforts, our mastery assured.

We feel the influence of Jupiter in Libra in this reading. Expansion leading to success, abundant energy to accomplish new projects balanced by a practical approach with a nod to future generations seems to be the message here. Our emotional presence brings us the intuitive guidance that provides the impetus for new ideas and projects. Balanced with a practical approach success is easily achieved. The Star followed by the 3 of Cups suggests however that we should be somewhat careful with too much practicality lest our fears overshadow our dreams.

This is such a positive reading. With all the nonsense going on in the world today, it’s nice to focus our attention on bringing new ideas to fruition, particularly when successful.

~ Blessings to all as we manifest our dreams by reaching for the stars!
