Tarot Cards Of Difficult Passage
Death
Our ego doesn't want to die, it resists the idea of death by creating a delusion that stops us from fully experiencing life. However death clears away the old and makes way for the new and by accepting death we live to our full life potential. The card symbolises a simulated death and rebirth, where our ego is tricked into experiencing letting go. This experience shocks us into confronting reality and reveals the things that we have been previously unable to face.This process allows us to clear away old habits and rigidity, making way for a freshened new life to emerge.
Letting go isn't always easy, often it's a difficult transition that has to be forced upon us, but when it happens it fills our lives with profound change and growth.
In a reading = Ending linked to a new beginning, profound change, hard truths, dealing with the stark reality of our situation, giving up old ways, out with the old and in with the new, rebirth, fear of letting go and giving up of old ways.
The Moon
The Moon represents our dreams, intuition and unconscious. As our unconscious unfolds to reveal the deep seated truth about our existence, it manifests a burst of energy that can charge us with unsettling feelings, imaginations and a heightened psychic sense.
After all, the Moon reflects the partial and hidden light of the sun, in the same way that the imagination reflects a distorted and unclear inner experience from our unconscious mind to the conscious mind. This rocks the layer of ego consciousness which serves to protect us from fear of the dark and distorting shadows that lay beneath in the unconscious mind.
However disturbing, we can't reach the light of the sun without passing them. The Moon forces us to face our unsettling shadow self, a painful process of confronting our inner weaknesses and shortcomings.
In a reading = Feelings, emotions, unhappiness, sensitivity, psychic sense, excitable and active, feeling that something isn't right, pensive, deep, depressed, supernatural, introspective, fear of the unknown.
