• Reality Check

  In overview, Queen of Serpents reversed at the base indicates great unrealized creative and spiritual potential.  You’re on a cusp there, at a decision-point, whether to remain with what you know or undertake a challenging quest.  Queen of Pears in the heart of the spread symbolizes emotional self-absorption, narcissism. Patterns immediately catch the eye:  The green suit of Stones predominates, symbolic of Earth, representing matter, money, property — the physical plane; two fives, two aces, an X formed of 2 cards in the red suit of Serpents (Spirit) and 2 in the blue suit of Blades (Mind).

  Fives indicate a crisis, the lowest point in a cycle of experience, the place in time where things start getting better because they’ve gone as far down as they can.  By their positions and suits, they tell me that a material (health and/or wealth) crisis becomes for you a spiritual issue, exhausting your creative energies.  Then, in turn, a spiritual crisis affects your relationships and emotional life in a very positive way, drawing you out of yourself, bringing people into your life.  Having the crisis turn around and begin improving is something you really need emotionally: mentally a much-needed relief.

  Resolving the matter requires your presence and attention.  There are just a few issues to settle, loose ends to tie, before it can reach completion.  One of the most valuable things you’re getting out of this is experience, down-to-earth knowledge.  Recognize the value in that, appreciate it, keep it in mind for future reference.

  Aces symbolize the start of a new cycle of experience. Their suits and positions caution you to beware a tendency to be over-analytical about your relationships and feelings, and to avoid magical thinking where your health and material well-being are concerned.  That means don’t neglect rest, nutrition and physical care, expecting to get by on higher-plane energies.  You are a holistic being and need to fulfill your needs at all levels.

  The four and five of stones at the top show just how much your current focus on material things is draining your spirit and creative energy.  It will begin to ease now, but the crisis of spirit will lag a bit behind the resolution of material issues.  Remember:  nothing is too good to be true, and everything works out perfectly if you are ready to perceive the perfection.

  Lastly, the Major Trump, Doer, reversed on the positive side of the spiritual level – progress and completion that hasn’t happened yet, something you need to do, to cause to happen.  It is the realization of your creative potential in the Light of Spirit, and nothing could be easier, because all you have to do is be yourself, no frills, no masks, nothing concealed, just you, like an open book, keeping in touch with your shadow side and finding your purpose in your ideals.

  Let me know if I may be of further service.
