Deck is “The Black Tales Tarot” by Carlos Gee “Ororborus Tarot Spread” from The Complete New Tarot
Shadow Works
We come into October with clear focus & high energy; ready, willing & able are we to co-create with Universe/Source/Spirit/Godself. Sights are set on success, mastery, & maintenance of current resources. The Chariot is not only a card of fast forward movement, but of successful integration of opposites within or blending more complimentary than identical energies or parts of one’s self. Some may be taking charge of an unruly group, learning leadership through trial by fire so that we can manifest mutually beneficial outcomes.
However, the clear incompatibility indicated by our only 2 card being reversed suggests our dissatisfaction comes from an underlying tendency to look for sources of healing connection externally that are best recognized after doing the work to manifest intra-personally. That means the emotional availability, vulnerability, and comradery we are looking for requires us to be emotionally honest, vulnerable, and accepting of ourselves (returning the 9 of Cups to its upright position) so that we can recognize when it is offered to us elsewhere.
The King of Fire as a passing influence suggests our sense of personal power is diminishing as we encounter uncertainty in our environment or our intentions are thwarted by others. Nevertheless, we have moved beyond rumination over what we fear & loathe, hyper vigilance, & “analysis paralysis”. Now, we must seek clarity regarding what we wish to fill the space as we release the pain that accompanied our attempts to control people & outcomes.
While considering The Tower’s impact on this reading the phrase that comes to mind is “a transformation that is resistant to chaos”. Typically this card showing up implies that which is unstable, unruly, or unregulated goes through an unexpected & intense destructive phase, but, reversed an inevitable alteration to the status quo won’t catch us quite by surprise. (The current pandemic is an example of this energy. It is already forcing great change to the way we think and operate within the confines of society and causing us to consider how much power we give away when we are threatened by the unknown & immeasurable power of Mother Nature. Most have realized there is no returning to the pre-Corona life.) While many of us may not be in control of our surroundings or the people in them, our acceptance eases adjustment to a great change already set in motion.
“Times of desperation & inner tension, when recognized, can become the most fruitful growing phases of our lives. […] Just as the extraction of a rotten tooth provides relief for the entire body, the destruction of stagnant situations and relations which hinder growth (2 of Cups rx) begins a healing process for your entire organism.”
–Gerd Ziegler on The Tower

3-8 The collective are determined, despite opposition in the periphery to goals aspirations and authentic self expression to bring together and master all parts of the self in the interest of successful & tangible progress. We are called to focus energy on those things and people who are receptive to our level of intensity and direct in emotional expression.
1-5 & 10-6 Social influence, personal power or energy levels are lessening (as is only natural in this season ), causing many to set our intention to securing what is rather than making attempts to obtain more. Impending chaos and unclear change, while not unexpected still influences many to pause plans and reconsider initiation and invitation of new energy.
1-6 & 5-10 Our efforts toward conservation rather than control or manifestation allow us to be the eye in a storm. In other words, accepting that change is coming without attempting to exert your will on it or others allows you to avoid the dangers inherent in resisting the inevitable. If we find our confidence or motivation are waning, it’s best not to start anything new but redirect our energy toward protecting what already belongs to us. (And frankly, even that may be changed forever…)
2-4 & 9-7 Our ability to satisfy ourselves materially and emotionally is hindered much by focusing attention on past difficulties and expectations of future threat. Self awareness, creativity, and our desire nature serve to help us reconnect to the world around is after processing painful relations and detaching from them.
2-7 & 4-9 Having survived all dangers and abuses up to this point, our self belief has grow secure despite harsh treatment or traumatic events in the past. Now, our discontent with the staus quo and desire to sate & nurture ourselves may compel some to engage in the reprogramming of the mind and make new efforts to communicate. Yes!
Overall it seems we’ve transitioned with the rest of nature into a conservative season of observation and regeneration.

This blog is a reflection of my personal growth journey, creative writing pursuits and general energies I encounter in the day today. I am currently mastering both Tarot and Astrology and you can find my posts regarding those subjects @AstreauxBytch I also post biweekly tarot videos for each month and new moon on my youtube channel http://youtube.com/c/AstreauxBytch
Tarot astrology is the system through which a reading of the cards in a tarot deck help you through troubled times by offering a reflection on your past, present and future. Tarot is closely associated with astrology as each card relates to a planet, element, or astrological sign.
Tarot cards are used for divination, often known as fortune telling. But, many psychologists have used them as well, feeling that the cards often make patients delve in to how they feel about themselves. This is done through the subconscious. For example, let’s say you know work is not going well, but you do not allow yourself to think about it. Getting a tarot card reading that shows you need to change occupations is not really telling your future so much as it is making you face what is really going on in your life.
The Tarot (pronounced tair-row) is a combination of teachings that reflect the aspects of life, a symbolic "book of life" in the form of pictures that can be read or meditated on from "cover to cover". It can also be opened randomly for insights to issues. As a source of information, it is actually a channel by which pictures bring the situation to light and explain what caused it to occur. Those same pictures depict how the situation is being played out as well as the predicted outcome when placed in "spreads" of various patterns. That outcome will be in accordance to the choices that have currently been made by the client as well as outside influences which they have little or no control over. The Querrent (person asking the question), needs to be informed of this so they understand that they have free will and can apply it if they so choose. The Tarot is informative, enlightening, and it's accurate.
The Tarot's history is veiled in the mists of time, surrounded by myths and legends, superstition, and diverse speculation. It speaks a language that is born of the universal collective mind through archetypes and symbols that range across the boundaries of astrology, numerology, mystical wisdom, religious teachings, and other psychic sciences. There are many stories as to its origin. Some say that the Tarot came from the Hierophants (priests of the Eleusinian Mysteries), the Gypsies, the Egyptians, the Jews, the Chinese, from India, the Hebrew Kabbalistic teachings, on and on. These teachings were handed down as the Major Arcana; cards representing the outside influences of one's life that remained out of the individual's control, alongside the Minor Arcana representing the individual and influences within daily life over which they did have control.
When I began reading the Tarot Decks back in 1973, I used the traditional readings. Later on, I studied Carl Jung and his analysis of using Tarot for the study of emotional and mental problems. The many students in my area were using the Major Arcana of Tarot Cards to do the analysis. After many years, I have finally discovered a mannerism to use the entire Tarot Deck for the ‘Healing Intuitive Reading’. In this reading, we examine five planes of health in a being. The heart and blood, the liver, pancreas, adrenals and kidneys, thymus, immune system and finally, the brain, are examined.
If you are just learning the Tarot, print off this list of tarot card meanings to keep as a handy reference – it can be easier to look up meanings on a sheet of paper rather than flipping through the little white booklet that comes with most Tarot decks.
The Tarot deck is made up of 78 Tarot cards, each with its own unique Tarot card meaning. There are 22 Major Arcana cards and 56 Minor Arcana cards across four suits (Cups, Pentacles, Swords and Wands). The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that reflect key archetypes or spiritual lessons in our lives.
Tarot reading is one of the most exciting activities that you can perform to know what is in store for the future. It helps to understand and boost your love life just by clicking on a few sites.
As we enter September and settle into Virgo season, the 6 of Swords serves as an anchor of sorts. It is a clear reminder of our right to choose. Our thoughts, feelings, reactions to our environment (The Lovers, 5 of Swords, 2 of Wands) become a part of us. The question now becomes are we choosing consciously or subjecting ourselves to avoidable mental & emotional chaos by engaging energies that do not compel our best self expression? When we are attempting to evolve, we must remember our agency.
