1. Tarot Reading for the Spring Equinox

Druidcraft Deck

 The Spring Equinox.. the High Priest , Cernunnos, (Devil) and the Five of Pentacles.

On a base level, ‘a devil of a time’ with temptation to go’ off the beaten track’ for a  cause or experience with maybe  a broken heart as the outcome! Spring often does that! The sense of release from the  cold winter of  curtailment and now we plunge into indulgence. The High Priest surrounded by a very Spring like vista, says authenticity and listening to your inner ethic and wise teacher is important , but also  he understands we need to ‘break out’, as the spirit of Cernunnos has us do .So break free into the green, the lengthening daylight and passion. But there maybe consequences though, that one is likely to get over. Interesting that there are equal numbers of male and female in the cards, which equates with the balance of masculine and feminine at the Equinox . The lovers in the foreground asleep and content. It is a time to know your inner voice, know what is right and wrong but to also be passionate. Just do it in a way that the Higher Self says is ok. Not too much indulgence, but as Cernunnos- the Horned God of the seasons, life and death and rebirth,The Stag , he says we are human, we need to indulge to feel passion….. Follow that, but not at the cost of your or another’s integrity.

3. ‘Getting out of the Chair in a Tarot Consult’! Gestalt Therapy & Tarot: Excerpt from Tarot and Psychology Conference New York April 2014.

I travelled to New York to attend the Readers Studio Conference from April 24^th to 27th April this year.  http://www.Tarotschool.com/RS14/index.htmlreaderstsudio.com.  It included the Tarot and psychology conference: http://www.Tarotschool.com/RS14/Tarotpsychologyconference.html on the first day. This a particular interest of mine, connecting the Tarot with psychology, and I found many kindred spirits in the presenters and participants at the conference. The conference is on again in 2015 in New York….. so consider going. It is amazing! http://www.tarotschool.com/RS15/index.html.

‘Getting out of the chair’, my title for a session at the conference by Kooch Daniels and her partner, Vic Daniels looked at the demonstration  of Gestalt counselling approaches with Tarot. Gestalt focuses on the here and now and bodily experiences and the experience of a person with their environment and the people in it. rather than ‘in the head’ approaches. It uses techniques such as 2 chair work . They had me up on stage as  a guinea pig! Where I used a problem with a friend to illustrate the moving form how I felt, to then shifting into a chair to be her, and to say how she felt or might say! It was very enlightening and enabled me to see her perspective and to keep moving chairs until I felt a resolution, and I knew what to say.The chairs can be exchanged for cards! With asking the attitude of the other person say in a conflict, with cards revealing new perspectives. So one card for the client, one card for the other person. It thus strips away words and  focuses on experience. It takes a client from their head, from expectations to more how they really are and what they really want. Gestalt with the cards would also suggest the reader REALLY listens to their inner feelings, thoughts, perceptions including body language, about the client. E.g. if the reader feels irritated with client, to note this, and feed it back if and when appropriate in a sensitive way. Is this how others might perceive the person? The cards can show obstacle and alliances, within a relationship.

Kooch talked about using cards turned over, deliberately chosen to represent the various people in a persons life. To evoke feelings eg a card that looks like the angry man in the clients life e.g. the Knight of Wands, the Hierophant. Positioning cards too such that the top card is the surface problem and cards underneath show the underlying feeling eg moon at the bottom meaning you are feeling self protective. Vic suggested spread based on the clients inner world! E.g. what I need /want; personal centre now; influence /challenges; what I feel; work I need to do. This is in contrast to the outer worlds concerns many clients have, but may move push a client to be more reflective and to take some responsibility in their lives.

 I have  had my ‘guest blog post’ posted on Biddy Tarot! ……….’ Imagine a client Ann who comes to you saying that she keeps getting involved with the wrong men and asking when will she meet the ‘right’ one? She draws the Emperor and the 6 of cups as obstacles on her path. You reflect back that issues from her past and her relationship with her father, might be preventing her from having a fulfilling relationship. She quietens, and mumbles ‘the men are the obstacle: they don’t let me do what I want!’ … Read more  http://www.tarotastrocounselling.com.au/news/   (Scroll down )  http://www.biddytarot.com/defensive-and-resistant-clients/   I would love to hear your comments!  Jenne
