If you need to fully recap the four cards that defined your spring and summer months before we jump into this, you can find your entire Self-Actualization Path, including the Learning Phase, right here

       ,

If you just want a quick refresher on the cards you pulled? They were:

  • Seven of Cups, Reversed – Representative of your confusion and lost sense of direction in the first half of spring.
  • Ace of Pentacles, Upright – Representative of the many chances and opportunities that will open up to you as you grow and expand your horizons in the second half of spring.
  • King of Cups, Reversed – Representative of the jealousy and coldness you’ll need to face and declaratively rise above as you gain success in the first half of summer.
  • The Chariot, Upright – Representative of your mastery over your direction and the journey to total clarity that you’ll have taken between early spring and the end of summer.

(Ideally, the revelations you’ve already received should be fresh in your mind as we continue and conclude – hence the recap. They were fresh in my mind when I took out the Spring Tarot Deck a second time!)

Without further ado,        , here’s your Self-Actualization Learning Phase Expansion…

 

Card Number Five: The Tower, Reversed

What a fascinating card that we enter into autumn on. The Tower, in its usual form, is a card of suffering. But reversed? It’s a slightly more nuanced and neutral creature. It speaks to disaster averted at the last second and/or a pervasive fear of suffering.

My hypothesis is that in 2023, things will go very well for you. Then, when the days get colder and the nights draw in, you’ll start to experience some self-doubt and worry. You’ll wonder how long your success and self-improvement can last before the other shoe drops. So, I think The Tower is a warning – to obsess about the potential of failure and suffering too much is to CAUSE your own failure and suffering.

Card Number Six: Two of Cups, Upright

Card six is very connected to card five. The upright Two of Cups symbolizes interpersonal connection and true unity with others. It tells us that the way through self-doubt is finding and connecting with others – especially that special, soulmate-shaped person.

All the love songs and heartfelt sonnets are right, unfortunately. Fortunately, you’ll never know they’re right more wholly and intensely than you do by the end of autumn, when you learn to cuddle up with your partner after evening comes, forgetting your anxieties in pursuit of enjoying the precious, untroubled moments. Nothing lasts forever, but more days than not can be filled with cheer if you can learn to chase connection over fear.

That concludes the Learning Phase Expansion,        .

My guidance (inclusive of the guidance in the initial Learning Phase) should now be able to keep you on track to your dream life and true potential from today until the end of November.

That’s a lot of time and space to accomplish something – or several somethings – genuinely great. And I’m sure you’ll do precisely that. 

I hope you remember how valuable the spring equinox was for you this year when it comes back around in 2024…

Your loving friend,
