June Oracle Reading

The Unknown Card from the Crystal Visions deck by Jennifer Gallasso is the first card for the month of June chosen for  Mind Body & Soul Ezine readers. It depicts a female with long dark hair. The background scene shows gothic windows through which a new moon shines high in the sky. The personality is lit by two mauve candles and she stands behind a bird of prey which carries a bejewelled wand. Upon her brow and also on her forefinger she wears an amethyst, and around her throat, a pentacle. In her hands she offers a milky white crystal ball which represents an answer that is not intended to be revealed, a situation that is unfolding or a matter that requires further steps. Deeper questioning needs to take place in addition to moving forward with an open mind and without bias. Question quick and rash judgements. It is not what something looks like that is important but the value and intrinsic worth that can be seen and appreciated only when a deeper and more patient assessment is made.

Next, from Arcanas of the Star by Philippe Rouchier, I have chosen card number 21 ‘The World’. The energy is depicted as a strong, bare-chested man with long, flowing black hair and a white beard and moustache. His eyes are hidden in shadow. He is holding in his hand a circle of energy. The traditional meaning of ‘The World’ card is wholeness, success and completion. My intuition guides me to think this card implies a new beginning is about to take place but the shade needs to be lifted from the eyes in order for the light of wisdom to be revealed and for the good use of vital energy to become available. Maturity is not only achieved through age but also through having lived life in a considered and learned way.

Four of cups shows a young man who has withdrawn into himself due to a lack of contentment. He has four cups offering him many blessings. However, he feels bored stale and empty. He is unable to entertain himself and craves drama and stimulation even at great cost to himself. Life is full of dissatisfaction and complaint. Everything is everyone else’s fault. He needs to reassess his interests, perspectives and ambitions for the future and be thankful for his circumstances. This can also apply to women too. If this is you or someone you know, write down where you would like to be in one year, five years and ten years time. Work towards these goals. If you need help, ask for it. The meaning of this card is to find new opportunities and revitalise your life.

Lastly, The Fool from The Enchanted Tarot by Amy Zerner and Monte Farber. is a wide eyed and innocent new-born child. He has descended from the celestial realms to alight on a mountain with vibrant green and purple growth. He is ready to begin the mystical journey towards enlightenment. All is new and he has not yet learned to fear. He lives for the moment, without premeditated thought, unaware of the pitfalls or dangers that lie before him. In his pouch he carries his memories, instincts, experiences of past lives (known as the collective unconscious) which wait to be used. He carries a wand which symbolises pure faith. It is topped with a head that looks back-wards, relating The Fool's past to his present as he goes forward. The dog, leaping up, represents animal nature. The sky is filled with clear new light of springtime. The Fool can only speak the truth as he has no malice or desire. Beware if you meditate on this card. Guidance is required.
