Temperance In Tune Tarot

"Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on, and holding it in
Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully..."

Sometimes it's best to keep plans to yourself. The more that people know, the more opportunity they have to derail your ambition. The Priestess and 7 of Swords caution you to play your cards close to your chest, while the 3 of Pentacles and 3 of Wands suggest that your current efforts are essential to future plans, as you build a solid foundation now to support a future endeavor.

Channeled song- "Building a Mystery"

"You'll see the look and you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies and you will...
Flies in the Vaseline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time..."

Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots said his battle with substance abuse made him feel like a fly in Vaseline, always stuck, struggling to get out, feeling guilt and shame for the lies that come with addiction. You may have a loved one stuck in an unhealthy pattern of some sort (8 of Swords and The Devil.) The 7 of Wands indicates you should stand your ground and cultivate boundaries while Temperance advises patience and a balanced approach.

Channeled song- "Vaseline"

"It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you
As soon as my heart stops breaking
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I'll be over you..."

We can try and trick ourselves into thinking someone or something didn't mean that much to us, but deep down we know that isn't true. Denial is a common coping mechanism to help deal with overwhelming grief, but to ignore the sadness demeans the value of something that was integral to our life story.

"Put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be alright
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight
Dreams last so long even after you're gone
I know that you love me
And soon I know you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you..."

The loss of someone dear can haunt us, leaving a chasm that can seem endless. Some say that time heals all wounds, but the reality is that it often just dulls it a bit, until they show up in our dreams or we see something that reminds us of them and suddenly the wound stings just as much as it did the first time.

Channeled song- "You Were Meant For Me"

"We argue in the kitchen about whether to have children
About the world ending and the scale of my ambition
And how much is art really worth?
The very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most
But you need your rotten heart, your dazzling pain like diamond rings
You need to go to war to find material to sing
I am no mother
I am no bride
I am king..."

Most women at some point in their lives have felt the internal conflict between their ambition and the societal expectations of marriage and motherhood. Queen Elizabeth I is a prime example of a woman who bravely eschewed the customs of her day and focused on her monarchy, sacrificing a personal life for her kingdom. Even so, it had to be a lonely path. Some women choose motherhood and thrive at it, while others don't seem to find fulfillment in it. And there are those who try to balance both, but even then it still requires compromise. There is no right or wrong answer or path. The point is that it is each woman's choice to live the life she dreams of and find contentment in whichever way works for her.

Channeled song- "King"

"If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
There's lots of those friendly people
Showing me ways to go
But I never want to lose their inspiration
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so pre-arranged
I know that it's time for a cool change..."

You're likely overdue for some quality time alone, free from other people's expectations and demands for awhile. It's okay to step away for a bit and recharge your batteries! Maybe the routine you're accustomed to or the social circle you used to run in now seems restrictive, even boring. It's okay- it means you're growing. Use this time to reevaluate your priorities, your dreams, your ambitions. Is there something you've always wanted to do? Write a book, travel, take up a new sport? Remember, too, that you are the company you keep, so perhaps it's time to surround yourself with others that inspire you in some way.

Channeled number- 515

Channeled song- "Cool Change"

"Will ya go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ya go, lassie, go?..."

I dreamt someone was seated, feeling alone, afraid and unsupported. Suddenly, the room was full of people with every seat taken. Someone next to them gently took their hand, stood up and started singing this song. And then one by one every other person there stood up and joined in the singing.

You may feel isolated or as if no one understands what you're going through. Perhaps you've matured past your social circle or your partnership- this may mean cutting ties with those you've called friends or family for years. But don't you think you deserve to bloom? This is your call to seek out those who can grow and build with you, cheer your progress and comfort you in tough times. And remember, you have millennia of ancestors standing behind you. Will ya go?

Channeled song- "Wild Mountain Thyme"
