Question: How can I let go of my past?
Techniques: Further Clarification, Tarot Triplets (3 cards as a whole)
Deck: Druid Craft
Cards: 7 of Cups, Six of Wands, Prince (Knight) of Swords
How should I let go of my past? – 7 of Cups
The red fabric signifies my passion and the 6 cups reflected in the water have a dream like quality. The figure’s gaze is directed towards the reflection. Thinking about it the cups are probably memories rather than dreams. My passion is directed towards my memories rather than the chalice containing the emotion of the now. I need to leave the memories behind that I keep returning to. It is time to take the emotional gifts of my memories and move forward. I can no longer sit still and let the world pass me by.
How can I achieve this on a practical basis? – 6 of Wands.
I should take bold decisive steps to move away from the past. With the people behind the horse I think I should ask for help from friends so I can achieve this. No only should I seek a solid foundation as I travel but also take the time to immerse myself in calm emotions.
Please give me a strategy so I can implement this in my daily life. – Prince (Knight) of Swords.
I need to make the conscious choice to change my mindset and move forward. I need to get up and just do it. I need to come up with practical strategies. I have come up with the following:
1. Limit how much I talk about or refer to the past.
2. Make 3 month plans for the future.
3. Write an affirmation that I will make a conscious effort to move on from my past.
Overall picture
All figures are leaning/facing towards the left. Is this an indication that this is a reading that deals with the past, or something else as well, as a thought that this could indicate left brain activity. I believe that left brain is connected to creativity. Could creativity help me unlock my past.
Both the cups and wands feature still water so calm emotions are important when overcoming the hold of my past. However with the absence of water in the Prince of Swords, once emotions have been calmed, quick thoughts and decisive action are needed.
Red cloth in the first two cards suggests that fiery passion is present but blue cloth suggests that I should eventually change this fiery passion to watery emotion.
The large amount of green suggests that to let go of my past I should remain grounded in the present while looking at the future.
Looking at this reading numerology speaking seven and six add up to thirteen. Thirteen equates to Death. I associate this card with transformation which is one of the main themes of this reading.
In conclusion, to let go of my past I need calm emotions, focus on the here and now, think about what lessons I can learn but I really need to stop replaying memories as these can be just as false as dreams or illusions if I let them.
