{September 22, 2007} Nine of Pentacles

Symbol-Death as a beautiful being flying toward the light.

Meaning- He gives her the key

This is the beginning of the enthronement process as they are recognized and honored by others for their attainments. For the first time life is truly smiling on them. Even the hard things propel them onward in the right direction.

All restrictions and injuries have been lifted up into the Christ Light to become Holy. All sins and darkness remain as transfigured blessings and proofs of this true attainment.

Together as a couple they look forward toward a deep and fulfilling life of Mastery. A life that contains all things. A life that explores all that needs to be explored.
This is the first step in their life of service to others. They are truly a family.

This will be a life born of true compromise where nothing is lost or given up. If one of them wishes to experience a certain type of life they both will experience it together. They will overcome all obstacles and differences between them in time.

They have experienced the love that each holds for the other and the love they have for themselves as well. They like who they are as a couple and as individuals.

They know that within each of them lives a dangerous being capable of unimaginable cruelty and violence. They know at times they will hurt each other and hurt others swiftly and without remorse. When this happens they will accept the pain and cruelty as an echo and reflection of what is within themselves and rejoice in the strength and will to survive that flows within both of them and within the entire human race.

They can do this because they know it is also possible to rise above the animal and to be divine. This is what it truly is to be human, to be a divine animal above all other
animals and to have a mate as strong as yourself. They have discovered the power of tough love within themselves and within each other.

{September 19, 2007} Eight of Pentacles

SYMBOL-They lock together as life and death combined
Meaning- Join Forces

This joining of forces is a difficult thing for her because she is generating low level physical energy that brings all of her past injuries and fears into awareness. Does she want to relive these old experiences with him? Does she have to?

The dark side of her personality has joined with the dark side of his personality. Is this a good thing?

Slowly she realizes that the light side of their personalities have joined together also. The future holds the promise of both good and bad things happening to each of them. This is the awareness of the bittersweet qualities that all true relationships must share.

He has no intention of experiencing the dark side of life with her. It is troublesome that she wants to experience things he would rather forget. This makes her a little less attractive to him and he is finally able to see she is very different from what he thought she was.

In fact, she is almost the opposite of what he had thought she would be like. To him it seems she likes the pain life has to offer and that really scares him. He is not really into pain as much as he is into living in his head. He must learn to appreciate the bitter-sweet in life. He must learn to live in the present moment and not run away from responsibility.

Male experience:

He is disturbed at the intensity with which she lives life. She is not afraid to experience pain or unpleasant events and even seems to get a perverse pleasure from them. This is not at all like the living in his head that he is used too. The prospect of such intense earthy experiences is frightening to him. Staying so long in the present moment is almost more than he can bear. This is an entirely new insight into who she is. He must learn to accept the bitter-sweet in life and accept his responsibilities.

FEMALE EXPERIENCE:

It is difficult for her to imagine a life full to the brim with happiness and joy. Instead, the emptiness and pain within her yearn for expression as well and she is surprised that her emptiness and pain are an important part of who she is. Her children mean everything to her. It is important to be alone at times and important to truly and deeply feel one’s pain and sorrow. It is important to drink deeply from life’s cup. The deepest things in life are bitter-sweet.

She might not have a life of her own but she can live through the life of her children.

{September 15, 2007} Seven of Pentacles

Symbol-She discovers him in bed with another woman.
Meaning- loss of innocence

As a couple they combine their energy of love and light and pour it out into the entire world. They proclaim their combined desires and wills throughout the entire Spirit planes. This is a mingling of bitter-sweet as each shares the pains and sorrows of the other.
She is now taking his lower level sexual and physical energy and using it to create the physical reality that she wants out of life. It soon is apparent that the relationship has serious problems.

They are both very different persons and want very different things out of life. He resists doing what she wants and she resists doing what he wants. The relationship turns into a massive power struggle that can have no winner.

There are some things that they each consider sacred and they will not part with those cherished dreams. Those dreams are not compatible with each other.

Since they both are freely generating all types of astral energy two separate versions of the future are generated, his and hers. As more and more energy is poured into these potential futures the power struggle becomes more and more intense. Neither one is satisfied with the relationship but neither one wants to leave it.

Ultimately, more suitable partners are drawn into their lives by the very intensity of their desires and the accumulation of energy within each created astral future. Affairs and separation are the result. At the very least they know they must separate and it is devastating for both of them.

He plunges into an abyss trying to find another source of female energy. At the same time he is trying to deal with the hostile energy she is sending toward him. She has been his only source of female sexual and physical energy, but now it is hostile energy and he has real difficulty trying to neutralize it. He is not sexually attracted to her any more.

He is trying to escape from her reality completely but is still dependent upon her for sexual and physical energy. There is probably a temporary separation.

She is sucked into an uncontrollable vortex and lost in terror and despair. She has been used. She gave the relationship everything she had and he deserted her. He is not interested in her any more.

It is only after she loses him she realizes how much he really means to her. It is a terrible thing not to be able to live with someone or to live without them. In all this the family suffers if they have children together.

Male experience:

The relationship is not working out and he is not at all satisfied. He is ready to look for someone outside the relationship to fulfill his needs. A separation is inevitable and brings a feeling of intense relief. It may be temporary or permanent. They need to think about the children.

Female experience:

She doesn’t realize how much she loves him until it is too late and he is gone. There is nothing but a huge gaping wound in her life where he once had been. She knows they were not good for each other but he was all she ever had. Having something is better than the loneliness and emptiness she is now experiencing. They need to think about the children.

{September 13, 2007} Six of Pentacles

symbol- He uses her energy to do things that he wants to
do. She gets him to do things for her. They have a child.
Meaning- exploitation

They are both generating high and low level sexual and physical energy at this point. She is able to generate an abundance of high level energy and combines it with his high level sexual energy. They encourage each other in their physical effort to achieve the things in life that are important. This combined physical energy is used to create physically the type of life that she wants for them both.

They have begun the process of creating a family together. The birth of a child brings new joys, responsibilities and sorrows. It is more than either one expected it to be.

The effect of this is that she gains control of the relationship and gets him to do things for her that she wants done. Everything must be done the way that she wants it and all that he says is “Yes dear!”

Even though she is becoming dominant at home he is still able to do the things that he wants to do when he is away from her. He is able to find time for his own interests too. In this way the relationship is a workable one in which each partner is using the other to fulfill their own physical needs.

The relationship does not meet their highest expectations and many compromises must be made but they do learn to love and respect each other in their own ways. They learn to become a family.

Male experience:

He learns to compromise with her and in general is content with the relationship. It becomes comfortable to be in. She demands things of him but he is also able to do many of the things that he wants to do. He learns about being a father.

Female experience:

She tries hard to make their life the type of one that she dreams of. It doesn’t really work out that way but things are not all that bad either. There is a steady progress that is being made. Being a mother changes her life in radical ways that she could never have imagined before.

If she could only get him to really try to do the things that she wants things would work out perfectly. He seems content to waste his time on things that are unimportant to her and even may try getting out of doing things that she asks of him.

{September 11, 2007} Five of Pentacles

Symbol- they have physical sex
Meaning- entrapment

When they have physical sex for the first time an interesting thing happens. Sex is not what they thought it would be. This is especially true for the female experience.

In any case energies are exchanged of a lower physical sexual level. By this point the male should have worked through his sexual fears, angers, and repressions and should have a fairly healthy approach toward sex. He is able to see sex and lust as an important part of a normal life. He has worked very hard to achieve the physical life he has and it reflects his ideals and spiritual ambitions.

He is surprised that her experience is different from his and needs to adjust his behavior if she is to gain the same enjoyment that he does from sex. A whole new area of life experience opens up for him and he looses himself in sensual pleasures. He tries to understand her and her sexual needs and this is an important time of personal growth for him. He has to think of her needs as well as his needs and often they are not the same.
He is seen trying to encourage her in more sexual experiences and she is seen as trying to avoid sexual experiences.

After her first sexual encounter she is forced to generate low level physical sexual energy. This energy activates all of her repressions and fears that she has to this point tried to hide from. The harsh reality of physical life forces itself upon her and there is no escaping it.

Sex doesn’t have a spiritual quality at all. It is more like two dogs having sex in the street. It is pure animal. She is not really ready to accept or admit the animal part of her own nature. This is very disturbing to her. This new lower level energy is not yet in harmony with the other energies that she has learned to generate.

In contrast, this low level sexual energy brings a welcome grounding effect to him. He has always had a tendency to be to intellectual and abstract. This energy helps him to be a more earthy person.

Male experience:

Sex is the one thing that makes life real for him. It is able to ground him solidly in reality so that he can be more effective in living the type of life that he wants. He is surprised she doesn’t share the same enjoyment in sex that he does. In fact, she often tries to discourage him from sexual encounters. This makes for some difficulties within the relationship itself.

Female experience:

Sex is not at all a spiritual experience for her. It is more of an animal experience and it brings up her inner fears and repressions that she would sooner forget. She doesn’t like to think of herself as a grunting, sweating body. Her illusion about sex being a special thing is shattered and shattered very badly. She is not at all comfortable with the idea of being a physical sensual being.

{September 9, 2007} Four of Pentacles

Symbol- He tries to compromise with her. He is eager.
She agrees to compromise but she is reluctant.
Meaning- seduction

He is generating both high and low level physical energy and is using it to enmesh them physically together. There is not much she can do to prevent him from invading into her personal life.

He is not really the type of person she dreamed about bringing home but that person has never arrived. She is forced to begin generating physical energy. This causes her to think about what she is looking for in a sexual relationship. It is time to be realistic. No one is perfect and she must be willing to compromise if she ever wants to be married.

She is not really in love with him but she has no other prospects in her life at this time either. She cautiously agrees to a much more serious relationship with him. Who knows, maybe it will work out after they get to know each other better.

He is overjoyed at her willingness to go steady and date seriously. He is certain that she will fall in love with him in time. He is madly and passionately in love with her. He is not willing to take it slow and easy.

She begins to absorb physical energy from him and begins to direct his physical activities. He is overjoyed at doing things for her. In this respect they are both using each other to get things that they both want.

She rejects many of her earlier fantasies of the perfect life because they obviously would not come true with him. He is too different from her ideal. Still he is alive and he is all that she has so she will do the best that she can with him.

He is surrounded in love and all embracing feminine warmth. There is nothing left in life to be desired. This is it. This is the dawning of a new day.

Male experience:

He continues to push things. He is madly and passionately in love with her and is certain she will return his passion. He is willing to compromise and do things for her to show her how much he loves her.

They are going steady now and it is almost as if they were already engaged. It would be hard for her to back out of the relationship now. He is forced to be content with the way that things are going.

Female experience:

He is not really what she was looking for but she may never find whom she is looking for. He is a nice person and maybe things could work out between them if she gives it a chance. Almost reluctantly she commits herself to a relationship with him.

She knows that she has already compromised her dream life and she is not willing to compromise any more than she has to. He may not fulfill certain expectations but he had better fulfill other expectations. She expects him to give her the type of life that she wants.

{September 7, 2007} Three of Pentacles

Symbol- Lumberjack wants to embrace her
She hands him ax instead
Meaning- attraction

He has used her high level physical energy as encouragement to achieve those things in life that he wishes for. He is at an all time peak of popularity and success. Still he wants more. He wants her. He tries to get her into a serious relationship with him.

He is beginning to generate low level physical energy and he is sexually attracted to her. He is motivated by lust and other lower level motivations. He tries to force his attentions on her and gain her interest.

The result is that she gives him her excess low level physical energy and encourages his sexual advances to a point. She is still not ready for a sexual relationship and tries to divert his sexual energy into other physical activities.

Low level physical energies are not only sexual energies, they are also the energies of abuse and violence. If he or she has a personal history of violence or abuse these will be activated at this time.

This may include violent fights and quarrels as well as potential rape or enslavement. The point is that he receives her energy through a type of physical domination and she is at this point physically at his mercy, much depends upon the type of person he is. This is potentially a dangerous time for her.

She senses this danger and tries to defuse it by diverting his attention into more harmless areas, areas of non-personal physical activities. This may or may not work.

Male experience:

He is at his peak both physically and socially. He is successful in his life’s goals and thinks he can have anything he desires in life. He wants her and he wants her sexually.
He is powerful and confident and moves in on her easily. He tries to become sexually involved with her and when she resists his advances he tries to force her with his will power. If that doesn’t work he may physically try to force her into doing what he wants. He won’t take no for an answer.

Female experience:

Suddenly she becomes aware of the dark and dangerous side of this charming person that she had been attracted to. His sexual advances seem threatening instead of pleasurable and she senses that he wants control over her.

This turns into a battle of wills that is very dangerous for her and may even lead to physical violence or rape if she is not very careful. He won’t take no for an answer and she is powerless to make him go away. She tries to divert his attention to more harmless subjects and that may or may not work.

{September 5, 2007} Two of Pentacles

Symbol- He places her on a pedestal and brings her gifts
She reaches down to him in love
Meaning- movement

He begins to generate high level physical energy and constructively work toward the things he wants in life. After he achieves his goals he will find the right person. What is important
for him now is that he gets on with life.

He has compassion in his heart for the loneliness and suffering of others. He is a gentle and productive person and others respect him. As he interacts with others he becomes less lonely and more supportive of others.

Others become physically supportive of him and his efforts. He receives excess female physical energy that combines with the energy he is generating. They physically encourage him in his efforts. This energy helps him to continue the struggle of his solitary physical lifestyle and his labors to achieve the things he wants in life.He has female friends.

She sees him as a very attractive hardworking man that has a lot going for him. She gives him her excess physical energy in the form of support and recognition. She is interested in spiritual things and these are the things she sees in him. His lofty ideals and his spiritual nature that is also applied constructively in physical activities.

She is a slave to the circumstances of her past karma but knows that as soon as her karma is over she will begin to live the improvements in life that she has earlier astrally created. She is trapped in the present moment.

In the meantime she laughs with good companions and enjoys the solitary life as much as she can. She enjoys his company because he makes her feel good but there is no relationship, only a casual friendship.

Male experience:

He is content to lead a solitary life and is a highly spiritual person. He is a hard worker and well liked by others. Others give him public support and encouragement, especially other females. They see him as having a lot going for him.

This public support helps encourage him in his efforts to get ahead in life and life goes a little better for him right now.

Female experience:

It is better to lead a solitary life than to be in a relationship with the wrong person. She enjoys the company of good friends and companions and avoids serious relationships. She is lonely but she is learning to live with her loneliness.

She has no real public support and is just an ordinary personal in the eyes of society. She tries to remain in the background and maintain a low key type of lifestyle. Something that she is comfortable with. Something that is really her.
