Today’s Tarot Card for August 27 is Triumph

Triumph

This Tarot Deck: Lovers Path

General Meaning:  What has traditionally been known as the World card points to the presiding intelligence, called “Sophia,” or Wisdom, which upholds life on this and all worlds. A more precise title for this card might be “the Soul of the World,” also applicable as a symbol of personal empowerment and freedom. In most Tarot decks it is a female figure that has become our standard World image. She originates in Hebrew, Gnostic and Alchemical lore, and stands between heaven and earth as the Cosmic Mother of Souls, the Wife of God and our protector from the karmic forces we have set loose upon the Earth in our immaturity and ignorance.

Where the Empress energy secures and fertilizes our terrestrial lives, the goddess of The World invites us into cosmic citizenship — once we come to realize our soul’s potential for it. Just as the Chariot stands for success in achieving a separate Self, and Temperance represents achievement of mental and moral health, the World card announces the awakening of the soul’s Immortal Being, accomplished without the necessity of dying.

This card, like the Sun, is reputed to have no negative meaning no matter where or how it appears. If the Hermetic axiom is “Know Thyself”, this image represents what becomes known when the true nature of Self is followed to creative freedom and its ultimate realization.

Today’s Meditation for August 27

A Reflection of Your Soul

One way to gain a deeper sense of yourself is to meditate on the character of your living environment, which provides a reflection of your soul. Close your eyes and visualize the exterior of your home. Look at it as if you were a stranger, seeing it for the very first time. Hold each detail in mind allowing the deeper significances to emerge. What is your overriding impression? Repeat this process for each room inside. Try to moved beyond the surface to a deeper sense of the spirit of the home.

Daily Feng Shui Tip for Friday, August 24

Back when I was first learning about Feng Shui, one of my teachers was discussing the location of the ‘Fame’ sector and the symbols or images that could be positioned there to make the most of its energies. He explained how this ‘Fame’ area relates to our future and our progression through life, and how these energies influence promotions we are likely to receive on personal or professional levels. This space also relates to enlightenment, and how we are each seen inside our own communities. If this arena is in balance and appropriately activated, then anyone with that same intent will progress rapidly up the ladder of success. This ‘Fame’ area is found at the center of the middle of the back of the living space. I asked my teacher what symbol he used in that space to make ensure that he was achieving his personal and professional desires. It is with great respect that I share his response on this ‘Vesuvius Day.’ He told me that although nine red candles was the standard cure for this space (nine is the number associated with this life aspiration and red is the color of the fiery ‘Fame’ element), he himself has an image of a volcano in his own ‘Fame.’ He shared that his volcano was active had smoke and lava spilling from it. He said that the very first day he placed that image in that space he was offered a teaching position that paid three times what he was making. If you want your career or your reputation to erupt and explode, well, you know what to use right? Now, that’s hot!
