Card 6 - Outcome I Want
External (18 The Moon)I want confidence in magic and manifesting. Constant, faithful changes. Powerful psychic abilities awakening, trusting my intuition. Keep dream journal; study magic. IMAGINATION. Harmony with waxing and waning of emotions and intuition.
Internal (0 The Seeker)I want to begin my spiritual journey in earnest again. New beginning, traveling light, the butterfly image (liquifying? or taking wing?). Be open to twists and curves in the road. Take a risk! SPIRITUAL QUEST. INNOCENCE/CHILDLIKE WONDER (Sun?). PILGRIMAGE. SIMPLICITY. SPONTANEITY. ADVENTURE. ALPHA & OMEGA. (Omega Institute?) Start with trees (connect underworld, Middle World, Celestial World) and birds (messengers between heaven and earth, FREEDOM).
Well, there I have it. This is what I asked for, and this is exactly what I'm getting, especially regarding the internal goals. In fact, the final card really sums it all up. In planning for this physical hike on the Pacific Crest Trail, I am also planning to revive my spiritual journey, too. It will certainly be a new beginning, and I will be trying to travel not only light but ultralight! It is definitely a risk, not only physically but on all levels, and I'm actively seeking out twists and curves in my path. Am I liquifying in order to transform? Am I loosening both my physical body as well as my emotions, beliefs, ideas about the world? I hope so! At the root of it, the outcome I'm really seeking is nothing less than total self transformation.
I used to feel confidence in myself. I still do, but to a much lesser degree, just as I have lost physical strength, balance, and flexibility. I am working to rebuild all these physical things--and even go beyond previous levels--and in the process I expect to regain my confidence in my intuition and ability to work magic and manifest my dreams. I feel sure this will help me regain confidence in myself in every other way, too.
The Moon card has been a representation of my internal life, but here it represents the external. I like that idea of who I am becoming manifest outwardly, too. That suggests a coherence, an authentic representation of self to the world, being my authentic self. Wonderful! That is indeed exactly what I want for an outcome!
The Moon card also represents a spiritual journey. On traditional cards, the image is of a path leading from primordial life in the sea toward the high mountains. Again, what could be more appropriate to what I am planning? I will leave from my currently muddled and confused life here on an island in the ocean and move toward the highest points of land in my view.
The internal card also represents pilgrimage, simplicity, and adventure. Here again, the internal and external are combined--a union of inward and outward living. The hike means going back to my childhood roots (alpha) when I first learned to love the mountains and backpacking, and bringing those things back into my life as I begin to approach old age (omega).
From disease to radiant health, from weakness to strength, from stiffness and rigidity into "mind like water" and flexibility, from self doubt and indecision into confidence and authenticity. There is an opportunity here to move in all these directions in a big way. I intend to take it as far as I can go. The vision is so lovely!
More and more I feel I am coming back to myself and true FREEDOM!
