The High Priestess from John Holland's Psychic Tarot for the Heart
See, hear, sense, quiet, intuition, knowing

What a way to start a blog!  You would never know I shuffled. This December, I'm working with The Psychic Tarot for the Heart by John Holland.  I've used this deck before so I already had it mixed up.  Today I shuffled for a minute and got three 2s!  What does it all mean?  For our purposes today, 2's represent balance, partnership, tenderness, consideration, receptiveness, collaboration, choices, and in the negative, opposition, and negligence.

Spread Your Wings
This is traditionally the 2 of Wands in tarot.  This card talks about new energies and growth.  There may be a feeling of uncertainty.  You might be ready to take off down one path, but another part of your heart may be pulling toward another path.  Do you pick the safe, comfortable route you always travel, or do you take the road less traveled? Is the safe path restricting you where once it was new and exciting?  Perhaps it's time to make some changes.  Remember to listen to your heart.

Coming Together
This is the 2 of Cups in traditional tarot.  It is a card of balanced partnership and renewal of commitment.  This card can also talk about a time to heal.  Are there any past relationships that could use a little love and forgiveness coming into the new year?  Maybe it is time to call a truce and start over.

Listen
Here we have a card about strengthening relationships if we stop to listen.  Listening takes more than just the hearing.  When someone is speaking, are we taking in what someone is saying, or are we just reacting, and talking over them.  We have to be silent, watch other's body language, use our intuition to gather the deeper message of what is meant, not just what is said.  Listening is key to understanding, and if we understand one another, we can have stronger relationships.

So what is the takeaway?

We need to take some time out, clear our minds and look at the situation in front of us.  Its time to really listen to our hearts.  We have decisions to make.  This might be wrapped up in new year resolutions.  It's time for a gut check with our love lives and our careers.  What path are you on, and where do you want to be?  Is it time to take a step forward in your love life?  Is is time to renew an old idea?  We must listen and be in harmony with the love and intelligence of the universe.
