Day two and we’re off to a great start.  From the cards we can see that some cards have moved around and new cards have entered.  All to be expected since at some point I’m expecting all the cards to appear.  So far all my thoughts are on getting the website moving and I have today discovered the way I would like the site to look.  Because of my basic skills I’m working in PowerPoint to get the look I like and hopefully will be able to present that to a developer to build.

The Master in the Now position or position one is quite interesting.  However, I have felt that today has just been.  Any enlightenment has been prompted by past lives and also hindered by them.  Now, what does this mean?  First, although I believe reincarnation is a thing I also believe that we can exit the reincarnation cycle if we follow our intuition.

However one life has multiple lives within it.  We change so much that sometimes we look back on our very existence to find that the person we once were is almost unrecognisable to who we are now.  Shackled by fears borne of past experiences but also enlightened by the positive events too.  For this site, this is what I mean when I refer to “past lives”.  Fittingly, a quote from Osho which I loved before I found the banner goes like: “One can live this same ordinary life in such an exquisite, extraordinary way that it becomes sacred, but there is no other life than this.  You have to learn the art of transforming this very ordinary life into something beautiful”.

In this deck The Rebel card represents breaking away from societal norms that have been imposed upon you.  Each person grows up with differing expectations and therefore something radical to one person is commonplace to another.

My aim, also situated in the “goal” position, is to break away from the traditional in the way I have been schooled to be.  Because I come from a traditional project manager background my schooling is to have an expectation of what the end product will look like.  New project management is that it’s iterative.  Hence, start with something and then improve upon that as you go along.

You may have noticed that The Rebel card has moved from yesterday’s “future energy” position to become today’s “goal” position.  If I were reading this for someone else, I would say that the questioner is in the process of breaking away from some societal constraints and while breaking them is aiming to break free of some more.

The Moment to Moment card that sat in the recent past yesterday has today moved to the distant past.  Unsurprisingly predictable (except this is tarot – so, it is surprisingly surprising :)).  Also, the Possibilities card has moved from the “Now” position to the “Recent Past” position.  Suggesting to some extent that those possibilities have been presented and to some extent acted upon.  Again, this appears to be a logical way for the cards to move.  Skeptically, you might argue that it was not a good shuffle.  From a probability standpoint it was always a likely outcome.

The future energy position has the Breakthrough card which yesterday was acting as an accelerator to Possibilities while simultaneously putting the breaks on others.  It now looks like the energy surrounding the Breakthrough is going to continue.  To put this into context; on day one of the 365 of Tarot Days I had a development breakthrough.  This motivated me to finalise where I want to go with my home page and adjust my existing logo but there’s still a little way to go before I am able to publish the new logo (let alone the old one).

The Breakthrough is driving a Rebirth in my enthusiasm to get things moving along more quickly.  Others probably see the attempts I’m making at launching like I’m unexposed to the new world of web development and posting.  And you know, you/ they’d be right!

My inner fear is that Morality all those constraints that The Rebel is trying to breakfree of are bound too tightly.  Knowing which ones to breakfree of and their respective costs always worries me a little.  On the other hand I hope that I stay within the confines of acceptable – if not normal.

Now, The Miser card has moved from the Distant Past position yesterday to the Outcome position today.  If this were a separate standalone reading, I’d be tempted to not link the two or the progress.  Now my faith in “me” knowing on a subliminal plain what I’m up to leads to another interpretation.  Yesterday, I mentioned that I was looking at a web developer that I had projected my hopes onto.  Because of that or because I do not want to spend money on yet another web developer, The Miser card would certainly be appropriate.

Forewarned (and because I really dislike The Miser card), this could prove motivation for me to do the complete opposite.  Hmmm…..

Poetic-ish Overall Summary:

The Master no longer weighed down by Past Lives is now The Rebel who has previously embraced Possibilities in the acceptance of each Moment to Moment, now drifting to the past.  A Breakthrough continues to inspire Rebirth into Innocence for all to see.  The shackles of Morality bind while the inner spirit wishes to be free and yet The Miser comes from Morality and its sensible confines.
