Visitation from Deceased?

My friend is having a rough time. Her grandma recently passed away from a series of strokes. On the day her grandma was found unresponsive - before she knew anything happened - she started seeing a shadowy figure walking outside past the windows, and after her grandma’s death, she continued to see the figure inside her house, just on the edge of her periphery. She asked me if a Tarot reading could help, and I said while I wasn’t sure, we could give it a go. She didn’t get back to me yet, but I was curious so I pulled three cards after thinking about her situation.  

My first impressions are that it could well be a visitation, but her house has always had “odd activity,” so who knows what the heck is going on. 

The Empress Rv: This is normally the card of motherhood, a nurturing person, fertility, and feminine power. In reverse, she is blocked or thwarted. Some emptiness or rejection is spoiling the ideal familial relationships. 

4 of Pentacles: This can represent an over-protectiveness of material things, trying to have your cake and eat it, too. Fear of letting go.

Knight of Pentacles Rv: Upright, this card represents being prepared, taking appropriate precautions. In Reverse, he’s caught off guard and not prepared for what’s going on. 

Viewing this through the lens of my friend’s grandma, it could be The Empress in reverse represents her being unable to fulfill her role anymore, but still hanging onto her life in the material world. If the shadow figure my friend is seeing around her home is her grandma, it seems that she was not prepared to die and let go of this life and her family just yet.

Card of the Day: Six of Pentacles

Giving, receiving, sharing. I couldn't really relate to this card as I'm not typically the philanthropic type, and I'm also not on the other end of the balance needing charity. Looking at the Biddy Tarot definition, the author pulls out an application for relationships that is a perfect fit: "...If you are in a relationship, the Six of Pentacles can suggest that one partner is dependent on the other to provide most of the money, love or energy for the relationship to keep going... The relationship is, therefore, unequal; however, both partners have mutually agreed to this arrangement to ensure stability." My husband was already laid off for a couple weeks when the COVID-19 pandemic began. There were no jobs all winter or spring, but he had unemployment, and the CARES Act provided enough supplemental income to keep going as normal as possible. I pulled this card the the last week of hubbin's unemployment benefits, and as of yet, we don't know if he is eligi...

Death of a Friend

 A boyfriend from high school died a couple years ago and I only just found out. For the last several years he would post on FB for his sobriety anniversary and I hadn’t seen anything so I went to his profile and saw… “heavenly birthday” greetings from last year?!?!  No announcement on his profile, no obit, not even an open post on his wife’s, kids’, mom’s, or brother’s pages. I did some internet sleuthing and all I found was a rejected bankruptcy filing from 2 years ago for $3000 of debt. His last profile pic he looked sick so he could have had liver issues, cancer, anything.  I was deeply infatuated with this dude and am feeling really gutted. I decided to pull a mini-cross spread to get some intuitive insight but it’s really not comforting 😢 6 card mini cross Mystic Cats Tarot  1: subject/person King of Cups Rv Prone to moodiness or depression but emotionally self-aware.  Yep.  2: obstacle/challenge Judgement  Higher calling, life purpose, letting ...

Not Immediately Clear Does Not Mean Wrong Part I

 I have pulled two readings for myself in the last month that just don't make sense, and I could not figure out what the lesson, or how to apply it to my life.  The first was this one from Dec 3: First of all, I don't even remember the question, but I think actually that will help me get clarity. I will often pull a spread that has nothing to do with what I'm after, but still makes sense in some other aspect of my life that actually has higher priority.  9 Pentacles Rev: Self-worth, over-investment in work, hustling 7 Pentacles: Long-term view, sustainable results, perseverance, investment 8 Cups: Disappointment, abandonment, withdrawal, escapism At first I could see how being obsessed with work and material gain can lead to disappointment and giving up, but I was not sure how it fit with me right now. In the two jobs previous to this I definitely hustled my ass off and was  not  rewarded fairly. I got major burnout. Yes I was disappointed and I quit both jobs....
