Tarot Reading and Health
One lovely Spring Sunday afternoon, a woman in her '70's asked of the Tarot,
"How will my health be over the coming year?" I
used a six card spread to address this woman's health question.
In the position of what's challenging you, I turned up the
4 disks. In classic divinatory meaning, the 4 of Disks points
to the "power of the earth". It is clearly a card
bespeaking of excellent health, grounded ness, wholeness and
solidity. It would be obvious to read this card simply as,
what is challenging this woman now is excellent health! But
that wouldn’t be conveying any information that this
woman doesn't already possess. First and foremost, as Mary
Greer, a world renown expert on the Tarot would say, the Tarot
reading should present the client with information she doesn't
already know.
Alexandra Genetti, author and artist of the Tarot deck I was
using, painted 4 apples cut in half to represent 4 Disks.
Behind the 4 large apples is a background rich with beautiful
apple blossoms in full bloom. It appropriately conveys a meaning
of a lush harvest, delicious sweet aroma, and a glorious spring
day.
I said to this client, "I'm looking at four apples. What
do apples mean to you?"
She shrugged, and leaned in curiously for a closer look at
the card.
I free associated aloud with apples, "Crisp, juicy, sweet…
", then suddenly it occurred to me. I asked this woman,
"Do your health problems have anything to do with sugar?"
She looked at me astonished and a little abashed, and said,
"Well yes. I have been eating a lot of sweets lately.
I like baking for my friends and family and over the past
year I've put on more than 50 pounds!"
I looked across at this woman who was plump but certainly
not terrifically overweight. I thought she must have been
underweight before gaining this amount of weight which undoubtedly
meant this weight would have put an extraordinary burden on
her body. She also looked quite tired which excessive amounts
of sugar can certainly cause.
I said, "I think the cards are presenting this area as
a serious health challenge for you and for your health to
improve you must address this in your diet." She agreed
and said she would work hard to curb this addiction to sweets.
She thanked me for the reading and returned to her "High
Tea" fare which unfortunately is replete with cakes and
cookies! Her outcome card had been very favourable however,
so I had a strong sense that these cakes may be her last for
at least a while!
Although this woman was well aware that she had been ingesting
more sugar than her system could manage, and it's effects
were devastating on her health, it took a Tarot reading by
a stranger for her to fully acknowledge the dire consequences
of her choices. And this is not at all an uncommon phenomenon!
We all know what's good and bad for our health, certainly
a 50 pound weight gain in a year is obviously not a good thing
unless we are severely underweight, but when it comes to applying
what we know we can all be a little slow. It's amazing what
little nudge from the psychic realm can do to adjust our motivation.
I often do health readings for clients. Certainly these readings
do not replace a diagnosis and treatment forwarded by a health
professisonal or healer, however they do offer an often fascinating
comment on what is really going on in the client's body. I
have a natural intuitive ability to sense what a body is saying
that the client may not have been able to interpret accurately
on their own. Through a combination of dream interpretation,
reading and psychic ability I do possess an uncanny ability
to help clients make changes to improve their health.
