the bright side of spades cards

Spades represent energy blocks that prevent progress in a certain direction. They are bound to appear in your readings so it’s best to see them in their most positive light. 

Over the Moon Oracle Cards are a hybrid oracle deck ~ playing cards on one side and visual oracle on the other

Rejection | Ace of Spades tells you that something in your life isn't a good fit. Now you can discover what is a good fit. 

Separation | 2 of Spades tells you it's time to get distance and find your own identity.

Interference | 3 of Spades teaches you to set boundaries in unhealthy relationships.

Delay | 4 of Spades tells you that there may be disappointment today but the sun will come out tomorrow.

Conflict | 5 of Spades tells you it's best to clear the air and express your anger rather than bottling it up.

Resentment | 6 of Spades shows where you're holding on too tightly and how to release your need to control everything.

Caution | 7 of Spades speaks for itself. It shows where are you lacking clarity and need to proceed slowly.

Restriction | 8 of Spades forces you to slow down and savor each moment.

Tears | 9 of Spades helps you release the old to prepare to receive new blessings.

Loss |10 of Spades says you’ve reached a dead-end and there’s no where left to go but up.

my weekly reading with Over the Moon oracle cards 12/22/14

Here are the cards I chose for this week.

This week, Congratulations | 9 of Diamonds in the first position suggests there may be a celebration of some accomplishment. With Division | 2 of Diamonds under it, the congratulations may be given to another person as well. We will have to share the spotlight. However, it just occurred to me that I don't have a card to signify celebrations in general so maybe this is the one we should use. In this light, Congratulations may simply show the holiday celebrations this week.

I don't like the look of  the second column. Deceit | 7 of Spades has been coming up in my personal readings a lot lately. As I mentioned before, I've changed this card to Caution but I haven't gotten it reprinted yet. The deceit or caution is over Hostess | Queen of Clubs. In my playing card system, this Queen can represent "the other woman" so you can see my concern about these two cards appearing together in this layout. In general, the Hostess is a woman who is usually a friend to the questioner. She represents a single woman who is friendly and fun.

If we look at the playing card side, we can see that this Queen is also patient and persistent (she's facing a Diamonds card). If this is "the other woman" it shows she will be patient and persistent in getting what she wants.

Let's look at the numerical theme: 9 + 7 + 2 + 12 (Queen) = 30 = 3 + 0 = 3. This is a great numerical theme to get. It reflects a time of increase and expansion, particularly in terms of social connections. In light of this theme, the Queen may show up this week as a friend or new acquaintance.

POSTSCRIPT 12/30/14: At first, most of this did not make sense last week, although I could feel the 3 energy and did come into contact with more people as well as met someone new. It's only today that I'm understanding some of the energy of the Congratulations, Deceit and Division cards. I had to quickly complete a deliverable last week and had to pat myself on the back that I was able to finish it in only 3 days still suffering with remnants of the flu (Congratulations). I'm just now discovering that there is another training company involved in this project and that I will have to work with them in some way (Division). The project manager who contracted with me didn't mention them or their involvement in this project (Deceit or Hidden). 

JOURNAL: Shedding, Growing, Transforming

I was inspired to do an oracle reading using the prompt shedding, growing and transforming from Shaheen Miro's blog post by the same name. Shedding is about letting go of something while growth is movement in the opposite direction, embracing a new direction. The combination of shedding and growing ultimately creates a transformation of some kind. Let's see...


What am I shedding as the year comes to a close?

Beginning | Ace of Clubs shows I'm shedding or letting go of the energy of newness and beginnings. I guess this goes without saying since we're at the close of the year but to me this card signifies a restless energy that comes when I'm starting a new project, like this blog. I'm full of enthusiasm and drive, waking up early to get things done, and burning the midnight oil. Perhaps some of this excess energy will soon drain away and I will get a good night's sleep.


What is growing in my life?

In Forgiveness | 6 of Hearts, I used this image to represent forgiveness and peace, the act of charity, and learning to share and give selflessly.

The first two cards represent a contrast - the first card represents letting go and the second card is about embracing. When cards represent contrasts, it's important to see how they differ. You can see this sometimes by looking at the characters and explaining how their actions are different. In the Beginning card, the boy impatiently waits for daybreak. In Forgiveness, the girl reaches out her hands to accept a divine gift.  

I'm moving from impatiently waiting for things to happen to reaching out for what I need and deserve.


What will this transformation look like?

I've recently changed this card's keyword to CAUTION instead of DECEIT. It reflects a need for caution because you're lacking the clarity to see the truth clearly. But since Deceit is the card I shuffled, I have to see it from this perspective as well.

A wealthy woman would like to buy the boy's horse and wants to test ride it first. She has her riding crop out but she hides a whip behind her back. She intends to whip the horse into her submission. This card shows that two people may appear to have the same goals but their intentions are very different.

What's interesting is that last week I was doing a series of readings about my 6-month relationship and this card kept appearing. With it showing up here again, it gives me the impression that this energy is inevitable. Perhaps this transformation will come through the experience of this relationship. I'll have to wait and see how it manifests.


How can I prepare for this transformation?

Leisure | 9 of Hearts shows me I must stay calm. This card can also represent activities such as meditation, contemplation, being still, detachment, and focus.

The numerical theme is 1(Ace) + 6 + 7 + 9 = 23 = 2 + 3 = 5. I received this same theme in my last journal reading. The five theme brings a time of conflict with others and at the root of the conflict is the struggle between pleasing yourself vs. pleasing others. In light of this theme, Leisure also suggests asserting my independence and freedom.
