Crystal Skulls – Pick a card. Weekly reading for June 23-30*

Note: I’ve started this on Sunday, however due to other events that afternoon (Which I will address in a blog soon.) I’ll likely be adjusting these to be Monday-Sunday instead of Sunday-Saturday. This will be published on Monday, June 24th. *

Continuing with the same style as last time. Four cards again instead of one card from three different decks. The tops you see are from the Hermetic Tarot. Today I am using that deck, the Cosmic Tarot, and the Forty Servants and Frequency Tarot once again. Today we have Unakite, Dalmatian Jasper, and Rose Quartz crystal skulls. Pick which one calls out to you at this moment.

If you picked Left:

Unakite is a Jasper with a mix of pink and green – Both colors are related to the Heart Chakra. It has a gentle and uplifting energy that assists in releasing deep seated emotions and habits.

The first Card from the Hermetic Tarot is the reversed Eight of Pentacles.
The second card from the Cosmic Tarot is the reversed Prince of Wands.
The third card from the Forty Servants is the Opposer.
The fourth card from Frequency Tarot is ‘Return to Source.’

The sign of the Sun and Virgo sit at the bottom of the Eight of Pentacles reversed. The sun sits low, it feels like the ‘belly’ of the card. The ego is inflamed, absorbed with ideas of its own value. You are a hard worker, a sacrificer, a ‘good’ parent that isn’t like those other parents, a martyr. Your identity has become more of what you do or do differently than who you are as a whole.
The Prince of Wands normal confident appearance has gone softer in this reversed position. His eyes are glassy and observant rather than inviting. He feels like a stranger here. He grips his stave tight, and carries his shield close to his chest. The lion on his shield now is only a shallow mask.
The Opposer stands above you, charming but impatient. There is likely someone that is not showing you much kindness at this point, yet it feels like you might be stuck with them. The Opposer is an outside force, though the Prince does not tell himself apart from either the client (you guys, who are receiving this reading) and the Opposer.
The Return to Source card advises that you are being held back. Your opposer has been indefinitely keeping you on defense as your Ego becomes more war-weary. It is time to let go and embrace yourself as whole. You are human, beyond that you are a soul having a human experience. You are more than your work or your efforts as a spouse or parent or any title you hold on to. You are worth more than you think than any title or prestige can grant you. You deserve more respect than you give yourself. Let go of harmful expectations. Know your worth, know thyself.

If you picked Center:

Dalmation stone is called a Jasper – but this is a topic of debate. Dalmation stone is said to aid those who are a bit too analytical or in their head. It is grounding and uplifting. It is a good stone for inner-child work.

The first card from the Hermetic Tarot is the Queen of Cups.
The second card from the Cosmic Tarot is Three of Cups reversed.
The third card from the Forty Servants deck is the Master.
The fourth card from the Frequency tarot is Uniqueness.

The Queen of Cups feels like a gentle soul. She does not lord her position over others, rather she is the celebrated queen in the villages. She is an embodiment of her home and culture. As you embody qualities of this archetype, you’ve shown generosity and empathy to others. You’re centered around your family life and friends.
Two women are posed near three long-stemmed and overflowing chalices. While they appear to be in sync, in this reversal I am drawn to the fact that they are looking away from each other. They are working together, but there’s a stiffness. The cups are not overflowing with abundance, but foaming. There is a false sense of harmony covering something within your group that is not addressed.
The Master is here to reassure you that, although you may have many worries about this relationship, you have the tools needed. You are naturally diplomatic and nimble enough to resolve this conflict. Who do you want to be in this situation? What do you want to do? What would the best version of you do at this moment?
Uniqueness may be a familiar card if you were here last week. It is a reminder to be true to yourself above all. Say what is needed to be said and speak your truth. You are not necessarily responsible for their reactions.

If you picked Right:

This is Rose Quartz. This is a stone associated with the Heart Chakra – compassion and forgiveness as well as unconditional love.

The first card from the Hermetic Tarot is the Moon reversed.
The second card from the Cosmic Tarot is Nine of Cups reversed.
The third card from the Forty Servants Oracle is the Explorer.
The fourth card from the Frequency Tarot is Gratitude.

The moon is a complex card. There are animal figures on the bottom, Egyptian Jackals, next to two towers with keyhole windows on them. An ornate scarab is in the center. Reversed, things look a bit different. I’m seeing things looking a little older and worn, with cheaper adornments. There’s a dissatisfaction and disconnect with what you have. You’re left disconnected – or wanting to disconnect from what is familiar to you.
In the Nine of Cups reversed, the Woman looks at the man not with the same excited eyes, but with more neutrality. Her eyes do not light up at this time. She is surrounded in things of beauty, but her mind is elsewhere.
This is where the explorer comes in. The first thing I notice is his eyes are blackened as if to say he was blind and forced to explore his inner and immediate world. Interact with things in new in different ways, to look at oneself in different perspectives in order to grow. It is good at this time to pick up a new hobby, but it is not a time for sweeping external changes.
The final card is Gratitude. Realize the opportunities and events that made you the person you are. Not just the good, but the not quite as good as well as it pushed you further into your evolution. Think of this lul as another force for evolution.

Reminder that for June and July I am offering free readings which you can read about here.
