The Spiritual Paradox

I'm still a bit puzzled by my last reading, well, it hasn't made any sense as yet, perhaps it will become clearer later on. Today I used the Faery Wicca Tarot and asked "what's happening today?" I drew the Eight of Swords (Aer), 'The Hanged Man', and the 'Nine of Pentacles' (Domhan).

The 'Eight of Swords' tells me that I am being blind to myself whilst 'The Hanged Man' tells me, take time out to work out what that is and to surrender to it. The 'Nine of Pentacles' tells me that there will be much to gain, if I do!

These cards are pointing out that I am forgetting to take time out from the PC to chill, relax and meditate. I started up an astrology blog yesterday, because I enjoy studying the Tarot's associations with astrology and love studying and watching the movement of the planets, however whilst I am really enjoy myself I know that I am losing focus of other areas in my life. You can't be very magical sat in front of the PC all the time! Can you?

'The Hanged Man' is astrologically associated with Neptune - who represents one's intuitive, spiritual, compassionate, psychic nature. 'The Hanged Man' is also a paradox, and so am I! I am trying to advance myself spiritually, writing about Tarot and Astrology and yet I am sacrificing my spiritual routines in doing do! 


The 'Nine of Pentacles' suggests that I have found  spiritual contentment now I have started up my Astrology blog. When looked at with the two previous cards it tells me that I must not lose sight of my responsibilities to myself and to take time out to relax too, because there will be much to gain spiritually and physically when I do. I also need to drink less coffee because its making me edgy!

ETA: I just added some afterthoughts to yesterdays reading.

Yes, lots to do, but feel like just hanging out and luxuriating. Sure Crowley labels the 9 of Pentacles "Gain", but it is more about enjoying the comforts than working, (falcon is hooded)
