JW: Diving into Psychic Wisdom about my Vagabond/GAP year.

 I brought out all the psychic tools I have to see what they would say.

The Question:

What should I understand about the idea of turning 2024 into a Vagabond year ... what would I like to experience during that year? What change would I like to see in myself from that year?

First thoughts:

I would like to make memories, feel more resilient and confident about the stage of life I'm in and the final stages growing closer.

I would like to have more courage, take more chances, and create something that challenges me and could prove worthwhile for someone else. (Cherán fantasy, Glorious YOU! retreat)

I would like to broaden my ability to see and appreciate beauty in the world.

I would like to get out of my comfy chair and do something challenging, something I don't know if I can do ... or how to do it.

Improve Spanish. Feel connected. Be part of something.

***Celtic Tarot -- King of Wands, Queen of Shields (r)


King of Wands Tarot Card Meanings

The possibility of success is open to you. There are no substantial obstacles.

King of Wands Upright Meaning

This suit, most often called "Wands" and sometimes called "Rods" or "Staves," represents initiative, ambition, drive and desire. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking.

Traditionally representing the energy of a dynamic King, this card represents the classic conquering hero. He's a charismatic leader, entrepreneurial and ambitious, always creating new adventures. He does this because he doesn't like to stay home or to have to "mind the store" -- he gets to feeling restless and bored with the predictable. If you need a crusader, or someone to take on a big challenge, he's your man. He needs a big assignment, and would rather lead than follow.

It could be said that he has a bit of an ego, as evidenced in his enjoyment of flattery and praise. A bit of a performer, he overachieves in situations where it will be noticed, but in private he wants to be served and adored like the head lion of a pride. A benevolent dictator, he makes life wonderful for those he loves and just the opposite for those who displease him.

Queen of Wands Tarot Card Meanings

Realize you are not in the leadership role right now. Concentrate on a more supportive role that promotes the overall objectives.

The Queen of Wands reversed points to a controlling tendency that is no secret, and the people around you have the insight to perceive what is happening. Don't think your hidden agenda is undetected, and don't deny it if it is brought to light. It's more important that your team members trust you than it is to preserve an image.

Queen of Wands Advice Position

The Queen of Wands in this position reveals a need to hold your place in the chain of command and respect the hierarchy (at least for now). This may not be a time for you to be at the helm, even if you are motivated by a strong dedication to completing a project or overcoming a challenge.

A perceived deficiency in leadership may make you want to take hold of the reins, but don't do it! Restrain yourself and remain loyal to your higher-ups. Stay focused and energetic. Enthusiastically confront the challenges directly in front of you. Perform in good faith and encourage others to do the same.

Overview calls for composure and contemplation. As a result of deep introspection, an invisible energy emanates from us, influencing others without their being aware of it. Do not underestimate the power of this force. Like the wind blowing across the treetops, its presence is perceived through the effect it has on everything it touches.

Shallow wells rarely strike water, and shallow minds often come up empty. The ability to keep still and deeply observe strengthens resolve and attracts good fortune. Discern the difference between what is deep and what is shallow within yourself, and you will be able to distinguish between the two in the outer world as well.

During a period between events, the practice of stillness with awareness is beneficial. By mindfully observing the true nature of things—by apprehending the rhythms and cycles that guide all creation—we can discover and explore the natural laws that rule our lives. Examine yourself and your situation, not just with the thought of discovering truth but also with the idea of focusing your personal power. This is the time to see and be seen.

Changing lines:

Top: Here, a person has achieved a state of contemplation that transcends egocentric considerations and personal feelings. This person is like the hiker who has finally reached the top of the mountain. If you have attained such a high perspective, sit for a while and enjoy the view. If not, it might be time to hit the trail again.

Fourth: A person who has divined the solution to a problem or envisioned a path to success should be placed in an honored position, like that of a revered guest. The independence of the guest allows him or her to offer fresh insight while being close enough to be heard clearly and understood. Avoid regarding perceptive people as tools to further your own aims; their value is much greater than that.

Summary: Observe and contemplate. Practice stillness. Do not be hasty.

Overall summary:
Patience grasshopper
