Featured Card of the Day – The Hanged Man – Joie de Vivre Tarot by Paulina Cassidy

Tarot by Cecelia

Artist: Paulina Cassidy

Keywords

Contemplation, patience, endurance, surrender, devotion.

Artist Interpretation

In a period of waiting, Ponder surrenders to a calm disposition of contemplation while hanging by his tail from a tree branch. The stars he’s balancing are symbols of his spiritual development and higher wisdom. He sees the world from a new angle, and grows more accepting of simply what is. Gifted with patience, Ponder holds a fresh perspective that his newfound wisdom brings, moving beyond his once limited consciousness.

Card Meaning

Stop, and change the tempo. In a patient and quieted state of being, you can relax and reflect in the act of sorting thoughts and ideas, which in turn will help you find a new way to deal with a situation. Let go of old patterns that get you nowhere.

Reversed

Loss of perspective. Arrogance. Wasted efforts.

Like so many people, I am a paradox. I am a politically conservative vegetarian. I am from a Christian background, and still tend to like those values, but am a metaphysical astrologer trained in science who has an interest in the magic of ancient Egypt and a weird belief that some piece of our essence can live on a server. I live in Texas, but like chatting with my international Wordpress pals the best. I learn by teaching. Technically, I am a "Leo," but I am very, very Aquarian with a dose of Scorpio. I bitterly complain about Algol (and Algol personaliites), yet it is the one star that defines me most (other than Regulus). (Which, oddly, makes me an Algol personality.) I am a reclusive lover of peace and quiet who has the Ascendant in the Via Combusta (the most conflict ridden part of the zodiac). I am an incredibly private person with a blog with over 800 followers and 50 to 150 regular daily visitors. I could go on, but I think you get the picture.
