The Fifth Tarot – Guidance From the Elements
Ether: The Alchemy card invites you to blend the energies at hand to bring out the best in whatever you direct your attention towards. Focus on your higher aspirations and use your ancient knowledge of Alchemy to create the perfect blend. This may be in business, with family or on any level. It also suggests a time of cooperation.
Air: One of Feathers, Divine Mind encourages you to use your inner guidance and intellect for the question at hand. Stand back to see the greatest perspective and the greatest good for all. Analyzing and assessing an issue with the fine discernment that comes from inner knowing is one of your abilities. Coming from the heart, use the power of the intellect wisely, as your thoughts create whatever you focus your attention on.
Fire: Five of Fire, Transformation when the Five of Fire flares up, get ready for powerful shifts in energy to occur. These energetic shifts create major opportunities for transformation in your life, making way for new visions of the world in which you live. Be aware of the prevailing influences in your life and work with them as agents for change. You have the ability to reinvent yourself in ways that support the collective consciousness emerging at this time. Add your own creative flare to whatever projects you are working on and add your passionate voice to bring positive change to the world at large.
Water: Three of Shells, Celebration announces a time of rejoicing and celebrating life to the fullest. It indicates a time of festivity that may be connected to a birth or any event that brings happiness and good fortune. Abundance and joy are the reward of emotional and spiritual healing. Be open to receiving these gifts with love and gratitude.
Earth: Three of Stones, Community in a reading asks you to apply your creativity towards a project that will benefit the greater good. This may be an artistic endeavor that involves beautifying the community in some way. It may be a communal project that improves the well-being of many, a social contribution for the betterment of humanity. Now is the time to put creative ideas into concrete form. This is a good time to begin building towards something that has lasting value.
From this reading we see the offering of the balanced Alchemy of magic in our lives. Through divine mind; sourcing from the wisdom from the body (gut reaction), connected to the heart and a compassionate view, to our inner knowing through intuition, we have deeper understanding of our current place in life. This leads to transformation and heightened creativity, aligned with authenticity. We are now in a place of celebration and honoring. Deeper awareness and peace are available with balance in the emotions. Leading to grounding all of this magic into sharing and collaboration with community. Sweet! —Kristine Wilkerson
