I pulled out my tarot and oracle cards. As im slowly packing, im pulling out random things, thinking where can i put this, Do i need it now.

Of course cards in hand i have to draw.
Its always interesting to me. How they always have an answer for something going on in my life. I drew from my natures wisdom deck.
Contemplation. It means what it says. Something in my life is taking a great deal of thought. Something is requiring a great deal of thought and attention. Its actually the first time ive ever pulled this card....

I apply this to my move. There has been a lot on my mind lately. a lot causing me stress and anxiety. A lot of what ifs. Its fully occupying my mind right now and not in a good way.

I think regardless of how much i think about it. Stressors are still going to happen. As much as i try to plan. Things are going to happen. My hope is that they wont take over. They wont explode… And things hopefully will be easier then im afraid they will be....

My cards didnt go in the box yet… They bring me comfort.

I also did an online tarot card draw. This is interesting to me, Again applying it all to my move.

Card 1: How you feel about yourself »
Death

Perhaps you feel that everything as you have known it is falling apart. Unexpected changes and turmoil, end of a job, end of a career, divorce or end of a relationship, recovering from a bereavement or fear of bereavement.

Try not to worry too much: this time of absolute endings heralds a brand new beginning, a period of great transformation.

The Hanged Man
Card 2: What you want most right now »
The Hanged Man

The cards suggest that what you most want at this time is to have it all! Why should you have to give something or someone up?

Perhaps you feel a victim and that events are not going as planned. Trust that this is a passage from one phase of your life to another.

If you are not sure what or who you need to give up, trust that things will resolve themselves over time and whatever the outcome it will ultimately be to your benefit.

The Emperor
Card 3: Your fears »
The Emperor

You are sensing that success is just around the corner but it feels elusive, just out of reach. You may be concerned that the support and help you want from your father, husband/partner or another man of significance in your life won’t materialise.

Trust and ask for the help you need, and success will be yours.

The Sun
Card 4: What is going for you »
The Sun

The Sun is shining on you - it’s your time for success, joy and happiness.

You will feel confident and full of vitality.

It’s a time to celebrate with friends and loved ones, perhaps enjoy a well-earned holiday, a time of pleasure and good news around children or the conception or birth of a longed-for baby.

If you are not feeling this way take heart, you will enter this period soon.

The Moon
Card 5: What is going against you »
The Moon

You are frozen with fear, lacking nerve and confused as to what it is you actually want.

You are allowing all your fears and anxieties to hold you back when you should be opening your mind to new and unexpected possibilities.

You do need to be careful however, as there are deceitful people around who may seem charming but are only out for their own gains. If in a clandestine affair beware, your secret may be exposed.

The Devil
Card 6: The likely outcome »
The Devil

If your previous cards have been positive and your main consideration has been about a relationship then there’s a possibility of commitment, even a proposal of marriage.

If this is not the case, there is a final opportunity for you to change course, because the temptation you are experiencing concerning a relationship, money or materialism or any other kind of addiction won’t lead to a happy ending.

If you are feeling low in self-belief and self-worth and doubt your abilities, don’t. Have more confidence - it’s not too late to change direction.

  1. Everything is falling apart. Very much so. My job is coming to an end if i cant find clients. My life is going to change 100% moving to a new area.
  2. Indeed i do want it all. I want SO much. Im full of wants. Ive been trying to be content with what i have. But the truth is. I want more then i have.
  3. This one applying to work. Everything i want could literally be in colorado. Its just out of reach because we are just this side of getting ready. As to the male aspect. I suppose because i dont feel that my husband is being especially helpful for moving yet… Other then packing his toys.
  4. Focusing on my friends and successes in Alaska. I can do that. I love spending time with my friends. I need to spend some more time with them before i go. Getting ready to move, not seeing them again, perhaps ever. But being with them for now. I can do that.
  5. So much fears. Of course im afraid. Im moving 4K miles from the only home ive lived in for the last what, 33 years! only place i know. Where while business is hard to come by, at least ive started to get a following. Im moving to where i know absolutely no one but my parents, where i dont have a job or future known. I just have the unknown and its overwhelming.
  6. So commitment? Or change course to find it. I want to apply this one to work too. If i can get over my fears, if i can work through this, something good is on the other side… There will be.

Here is another draw.

Card 1: How you feel about yourself »
The Moon

You feel confused, vulnerable and full of doubts. However, all is not as it seems. Feel the fear and do it anyway, because all will turn out well. Expect the new and unexpected to show up and welcome it into your life.

Your turbulent emotions are muddying the waters so step back and try to find clarity of mind, no matter how difficult this proves to be. Things may seem tough or confusing but stick with it, it’s right for you.

The Fool
Card 2: What you want most right now »
The Fool

The Fool in this position suggests that what you most want at this time is just to be happy, and you are searching for the one thing that will bring happiness.

You desire a new start but feel unsure of what you want or where you want to go.

Romantically you may have mixed feelings about someone - part of you wants to enter the relationship wholeheartedly, part of you wants to hold back. So if you are in a relationship that empowers you then stay - if not it is time to move on.

The Devil
Card 3: Your fears »
The Devil

You are afraid that it’s out of control. You simply cannot resist this passionate attraction. Despite the fact it’s addictive and unlikely to be right, you just can’t stop yourself.

Whatever it is, a passion for someone who’s not good for you, money deals that are too good to be true or any other kind of temptation, try to resist, as it is unlikely to have a positive outcome.

If you’re feeling low in self-belief and self-worth and doubt your abilities - don’t! Have confidence in yourself - it’s not too late to change direction.

The High Priestess
Card 4: What is going for you »
The High Priestess

All lines are open in your telephone exchange with your intuition, and there is no better guide than this intuition.

Listen.

Listen carefully and the secret you want revealed will be shared with you.

Death
Card 5: What is going against you »
Death

This is a period of anxiety, depression and fear with all the turmoil and distressing events happening in your life.

It’s time to show what you are made of.

What has now come to an end leaves room for brand new beginnings in life, love and career. However radical events may be in your life, believe that life goes on and life is what you make of it.

The Hanged Man
Card 6: The likely outcome »
The Hanged Man

You will in time know what decision to make about who or what must be given up. This is a time of passage from one phase of your life to another.

It may be a difficult choice, and self-sacrifice is never easy, but if you look for truth and integrity and don’t be too materialistic or hang onto things or people for all the wrong reasons, everything will turn out in your favour.

Isnt it kind of funny how they play on one another. Retelling the same story in a different way.
Regardless of if you believe in tarot or not. Its interesting how the cards can be applied to ones life. Especially an oracle deck. Its not like a tarot deck. My Natures deck is all about feelings and emotions. Support and beauty. The cards are peaceful to me.
Time for bed…

Moving is one of the largest causes of depression even when you choose to move . It always seems like a huge risk but it also can be a huge adventure . Too many people get stuck in one place ( I am one of them ) :-( . You don’t want to get old and have regrets for things you never tried :-)

ChainedChrysalis Jinn ⋅ September 02, 2019

I dont want to be stuck, that is why im moving. Staying here, its far more depressing. Alaska is compressing. Angry people. So much hate and mistrst. Lack of things to do... Its not where I want to be...

Jinn ChainedChrysalis ⋅ September 02, 2019

Then you are making the right decision. I liked the Colorado vibe when I visited there a couple times , of course I realize that is not the same as living there :-)

ChainedChrysalis Jinn ⋅ September 03, 2019

ive only visited 4 times :D im lucky that my parents and siblings live there too. But its still a lot of unknowns for us.
We are going to try to get more packing tomorrow. As well as making a bit of a bucket list of things to photograph my family doing before we go.
We have had the worst time with heavy smoke due to forest fires ( 2.5 million acres burned this summer) and now its raining, which helps the smoke but hides the mountains.

Jinn ChainedChrysalis ⋅ September 03, 2019

When we were thinking about moving we were planning to go to Tucson because my family is there. I really wanted to move to Florida but not anymore ! Hurricanes scare me !
My family always worries about forest fires in Summer. They live in the foothills of the Catalina mountains.

ChainedChrysalis Jinn ⋅ September 03, 2019

Take a chance and do it!! What does it hurt really!!

Jinn ChainedChrysalis ⋅ September 04, 2019

My husband needs to stay employed since I am disabled so we have to stay where his job is. Maybe someday we will risk it but we are not ready yet . We have a son here that lives with us and would have to sell this house . I have lots of pets and plants. It gets really complicated . :-(

ChainedChrysalis Jinn ⋅ September 05, 2019

I understand that.
My husband was fired so we figured we may as well. Do it now or never!

Jinn ChainedChrysalis ⋅ September 05, 2019

If this job does not work out for my husband we may be going that route too . There are not many good jobs here .

Jinn September 02, 2019

I think your wants will fuel your success. !
I am so interested in Tarot but I do not know much about it .

ChainedChrysalis Jinn ⋅ September 02, 2019

If you google for free tarot readings there are plenty of places online to get free readings!

Thanks, I will check into that !
