Monthly Reading – March

Been lagging on my daily draws, but I do a reading for March..

1) Overall theme:
The Tower/Ace of Pentacles

Well, looks like there will be some more shake ups this month. Eek, changes for sure. Although this could be something as simple as personal changes – in that my expectations of myself and others will be shaken up and knocked down a peg. With the Tower/Ace of Pentacles, this is likely saying that there will be some unexpected changes coming my way either from a new opportunity, or creating a new opportunity over the change. Looks like it won’t be a boring month at least 😉
Keywords: Sudden change, release, downfall, revelation

I think the descriptions of the Tower that best fit me currently are:
“Are you too full of pride? Expect a blow to your ego. Are you holding back your anger? Expect the dam to burst. Are you stuck in a rut? Expect a surprise”

It could even be that I’ll go through some sudden change, that will either help me to release some feelings or will reveal something important to me – and this will help me to find or take advantage of a new beginning.

Mice – Storks – Dog
Lily

Looks like there may be some small problems with a friend, or with multiple friends (Mice/Dog). There might be something that needs to be revealed there – that goes back to the Tower popping up before/

With Lily/Storks it looks like there will be some positive changes, or positive new beginnings when it comes to my finding peace/harmony with myself.

The progression of Mice – Storks – Dog, could say that a negative situation from the past (something with more difficult emotions connected to it) will move positively, resulting in feelings of loyalty/friendship taking the place of the feelings of hurt or betrayal. Lily, again, says this likely will have some effect on my overall peace/internal harmony.

So doesn’t look bad overall. Looks like there will be some unexpected changes or challenges that will come up with Storks/Ace would imply that there will be something positive that comes out of them.

2) Energies Leaving my Life:
7 of Cups/4 of Pentacles

I’m happy to see this pair as what’s leaving my life!

The imagery on both of these cards is very complacent – showing figures either looking down and away and off into the distance.. focused on themselves, daydreaming, things out of reach etc instead of focusing on the present. So my feeling with these cards as energy leaving my life this month, would be that I will be feeling less complacent, less bored and less “stuck”. I won’t be holding on to things as much as I may have been recently, I may be less concerned about maintainig the status quo, and be more open to change. So basically – energy of “stagnation” will be leaving my life this month.

Heart – Woman – Heart
Snake

Hmm, odd cards for “energies leaving”. The combo of Snake/Woman could be pointing to me as a woman healing from betrayal and from relationships that might have been false or painful in the past.

With Heart/House, I’m not too sure, maybe these energies will be leaving my house? In the sense that I won’t be holding on to them all the time, in my day to day life type thing?

I’m not sure otherwise. Maybe it could be certain feelings that I’m holding on to in regards to my living/home situation will change?

3) Energies Continuing to Influence my Life
Death/5 of Wands

Hmm looks like I may still be continuing to deal with some challenging changes. Tower combined with this would definitely say that there are going to be come major changes coming my way, although with Death here, it’s likely that these have already been set in motion. So I would see this as that I will continue to struggle (5) with changes or endings that have occured in the past and trying to move on in a positive beginning from them. Think this is probably pointing to a relationship *sigh*. Although with the cards above for leaving, this combo might be a more positive in that I’ll be more open to those changes moving forward, instead of holding on to the past as before.

Scythe – Dog – Heart
Letter

Hmm, interesting. Scythe/Death pretty much echo each other in that there are definitely unexpected changes, or energy around that that are going to keep influecing my life this month.

I’d take Dog/Heart to point to someone I care for deeply, or someone that I was in a relationship with. So some feelings regarding a sudden change, and likely communication (Letter) with that person is going to keep influencing my life this month. So I guess this situation is going to continue to be ongoing, and there will be some communication about it (likely following the communication that started in Feb.. so it is continuing in that sense.)

4) Energies Entering my Life
5 of Wands/King of Swords

5 of Wands showed up before, so don’t know how “new” this is 😛

5 of Wands here could either go 2 ways:
I will either be feeling more conflicted about things surrounding this King of Swords figure (not sure who this would be representing)
Or it could be that there will be more of an energy of challenge and competition around me, which will make me push myself – creating that type of KoS energy of being analytical, quick thinking, on your toes. Actually – I think that makes sense when looking at the fact that the Tower/Death etc have come up before.. while that will likely create some feelings of being conflicted, I could see how those types of situation will bring in a challenging energy, that will make me think in a different way in response – so maybe the energy entering will be this energy that makes me thought process about these changes change.

Stars – Fox – Fish
Ring

A lot of these cards are traditiona business cards, so there may be energy that makes me approach things from more of a business mindset, or there will be more energy/focus coming into my life when it comes to preparing for the new job that I start in May. I guess similar to business, these could also say that there will be more of a hard-working attitude (Fox/Fish) adopted to try to reach my goals (Stars).

Only other thought here is that I may have renewed commitment (ring) to reaching my goals (Stars) which makes me act more indepently and look out more for myself (Fish/Fox)

5) Developments: Work/School
The Empress/3 of Cups

That looks promising – looks like I may accomplish a fit bit in these areas in the next month (Empress), things that may even be worth celebration (3). I think this is pointing to that in terms of school, I may be more dedicated because I will enjoy my work (3) and approach it with an outlook of nuturing/loving what I’m doing (Empress) instead of it just being something that I have to do. Looks pretty good.

Rider – Sun – Woman
Key

Key makes me think this will likely be an important month for me in this area. Rider/Woman makes me think that I will be in control of the direction that things go, of setting things in motion etc. Looks like I may be working hard/quickly, and with Sun there (especially with Sun/Key) – those are good cards of being successful in these areas throughout the month of March. So overall, especially with Empress/3 of Cups above, it looks like this will be a good month when it comes to school – I should be feeling pretty good about what I’m doing, and will probably be pretty successful in doing it.

6) Developments: Love/Relationships
3 of Wands/Death

I’m not too sure on this combo, this doesn’t seem to say that there will be any large developments or relationships starting.. it more says that I’ll open to possibilities, following some change..

Death could be saying that I’ll be going through some changes as the month begins (as the base), with the 3 maybe saying that I’ll be more willing to explore new possibilities when it comes to love (new beginnings) throughout the rest of the month. That’s all I got here =/

Clouds – Dog – House
Fox

House I’m not sure on here. But it looks like there will be some confusion about someone in particular (Clouds/Dog). The light side of the Clouds are pointing towards the Dog, which should mean that the confusion surrounding this person will be lifted/cleared throughout the month. I guess with house on the end there, it could mean that the confusion around the Dog will clear (Clouds/Dog), and give way to greater stability/security (House). So that may not be all bad.. House doesn’t point to anything overly romantic, but just says more that the relationship will become more stable and rooted.

Fox as the base says that either I won’t trust the intentions of this person (hence the foncusion maybe), or that this situation will make me really be on my toes and have to do some quick thinking.

7) Developments: Self
2 of Wands/3 of Cups

Looks like I can expect to be in greater control and to be more open to others throughout the month. With the 2, I think that I may be feeling more confident/brace this month – more viousnary, willing to look a head instead of being stuck in the past, while with the 3, I may be feeling more free spirited/happy in general, and will be more open to engaging and going out with others.

Woman – Cross – Key
Snake

Looks like this may be an important month, primarily focused on my finally overcoming/dealing with some emotions of the past and finding “new life” (Snake) after that. So it will be a month of trying to start a new, following some important emotional issues that may need to be dealt with.

8) Advice for the Month
Page of Pentacles/Strength

Advice is to take things slowly and not to overreact in either a positive or negative way to anything that comes up. I think I need to be practical about things this month, and to be sure to temper myself so that I act with compassion/patience instead of overreacting or automatically becoming angry. I think it’ll be important to keep things in perspective, to be self aware and maintain some self control when dealing with things.

Mountain – Book – Snake
Ring

Ring I think is telling me to stay committed/true to myself. Mountain I think is just reinforcing that there will be some problems/challenges this month and that the best way for me to approach them is to be informed (Book) and rely on my own intuition/my own self (Snake)
