Tarot: Past, Present, Future

(Tuesday, December 10, 2024)

Getting close to my first two journeys to Mayo Clinic, I decided to do a three-card tarot reading. All cards were from the major arcana. Past: Wheel of Fortune, present: Hierophant, future: Fool. I understand the Hierophant as a symbol of mentorship, a doctor or a healthcare system. Both the Wheel and the Fool are about shifts, but those cards are more mysterious to me. I like these web descriptions:

Wheel of Fortune
“A karmic shift that asks you to reconfigure your path and start anew.”

Hierophant
“What tradition would benefit you? What area of your life needs guidance?”

Fool
“Are you ready to leap? How will taking this chance change your life?”

Day notes:

I wonder if the Fool is about my loss of brain function. I become foolish.

January 6, 2025: I have my second acupuncture appointment tomorrow. One website connects the kidney meridian (what I am having treated) with the Fool.

12/4/24 Jumping Off a High Cliff

I had this dream in the middle of the night and just wrote:

I am a spectator. I see these people jumping off a very high cliff. They only have one tooth in their mouths. It is on the top in the middle. After they jump, someone pushes their tooth sideways. It is like proof that they did the jump. They are jumping onto ground below and are confident they will not get hurt (and they don’t).

12/2/14 1. In a Play 2. Feeding Animals

  1. I am in a play. I am the only actor. It is about to start. I am not prepared. I haven’t practiced enough. People come in and sit down. I lift my hands up to quiet them down. When I am just about to start, another 12 or so people come in. It takes a while for them to get in their seats. When they do, I again raise my hands to quiet the crowd.

2. Jan Lorenz is about to leave and go somewhere. She has planted all these colorful flowers outside close to the sidewalk. I tell her they are so beautiful, they almost look artificial.

There is something about opening this small window and putting food into this living room. Three animals live there. Two are the same animal but I can’t remember what kind. The third is a baby elephant. I throw food through the window. The elephant is behind a couch. and cannot see the food. The other two animals can see the food and are more assertive, so they eat it.
