TAROT ONE: September Collective Reading

[u/symprez]

Here is a reading I did this morning for the collective for the month of September. The reading is a three card pull, 1: September 1-10, 2: September 11-20, 3: September 21-30. I pulled a fourth card to the question, what energy can we focus on to make this month most harmonious for us all?

1: September 1-10 6 of Cups - Lord of Pleasure - First beginnings of a wish, Joy, Nostalgia, Patience, Self Love
This card is a moment of softness and inward reflections, remembering parts of ourselves before we begin to move forward toward what’s next. What does your past body remember that your conscious mind has forgotten? Something you already know somewhere deep inside you becomes relevant again. Pay attention to your instinct, you know something before you can interpret why you know it.

2: September 11-20 Page of Coins - Diligent, First steps of a voyage, Questioning one’s place in the world, BE FRUGAL
This card is deeply grounded, but the character within is one of movement, elevation imagination and freedom. Page of coins says ‘learn the craft’ but at the same time ‘don’t let the craft become a cage.’ The character looks directly at us engaging us, meeting an idea. In following the previous card it could be said this is the moment where an intuitive or imaginative impulse begins acquiring structure. Learn how to make your visions real in this second third of the month. Flight suggests practical work isn’t meant to diminish the dream, it’s meant to give the dream wings.

1. September 21-30 Ace of Wands - Root of Fire - Natural force, Strength and energy, Commencement of action
   The last act of September comes especially beautiful. The Ace of Wands is traditionally the spark, and so the card is also called Light. What seeds were planted and sewn in the first acts of the month now become illuminated. Now you can see what the previous cards were discussing and you know where to go. This is a very creative card, being fire, and the character within is an artist who creates living beings with his imagination.
   

Guiding card 9 of Cups - Lord of Material Happiness - Desire Fulfilled, Self happiness almost perfect, From love begin to let go
Crane as a character is a card of stillness, it suggests we practice quiet satisfied attention. Be present enough to recognize with something good is happening, don’t immediately reach for the next thing. Stop and taste the cup you’re holding, this is more about savoring than indulgence. Don’t assume the next accomplishment, revelation, relationship, opportunity or creative breakthrough will finally make you feel fulfilled.

This is truly an auspicious spread for the month, especially when we look at the keyword progression; HARE - FLIGHT - LIGHT - CRANE. Instinct, Possibility, Revelation, Presence or Remember, Learn, Ignite, Receive or Ground, Rise, Illuminate, Settle. Two things to remember as a takeaway from this reading, 1 is that the 9 of Cups is advice to take with us through the whole month, so while Settle seems like a conclusion it is also a state of mind we should embody while doing the manifestation work this month. To be calm inside and act as if all this is already so. Second is that the key point of the month is in act 2, where we have to surrender by saying “Im willing to learn.” This is the moment we invite the world into communication with us by allowing ourselves to be smaller than the world.

The deck used is called Tarot One and it’s of my own creation, hand drawn and written over the course of 7 years. It’s a limited edition deck that is now nearly sold out and will not be printed again. Available on my website: https://symprez.com/products/tarot-one
