Post An "Oracle Speak" exercise
on: June 11, 2012, 08:02

Hi everyone!

I believe you are all familiar with Ana's "Oracle Speaks", that now follow the moon calendar. Last month she begun to do the readings during the New Moon and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in trying to do their own "Oracle Speak" for the coming moon cycle.

The new moon will happen in June 19th, and I am thinking about doing another Oracle Speak experiment then. I would like to invite others to join me and do their own forecasts, so we can compare radings and results. :) I believe this to be a good opportunity for those who tend to do more readings for themselves... forecasts help us focus on something bigger, see the cards in a more general context.

This site has nice Moon Calendars for 2012:

Well, nobody joined in, but I still tried to do my own "Oracle Speak" reading. I am sharing it below:

K of Spades (Mardoc, the heartless)
2 of Hearts (The Lovers)
3 of Hearts (The Clutch)
6 of Hearts] (The Castle)

The first card I noticed in this spread is Mardoc, king of Spades. The only Black card, and at the top of the spread, which is a meaningful position. But certainly, for a guy who calls himself "the heartless", he has a good bunch of Hearts following him. This spread reminds me a of a crème brûlée... hard caramel top, and delicious vanilla custard underneath.</p>

I believe the coming cycle will start with an ending. Huh? Well, the King of Spades is not simply the last card in the Spades group, but he also closely related to death, to doors that close. In the first days, as the Moon grows brighter, we may still feel a certain bitterness, or melancholy, or just a general dissatisfaction towards our situation or something we have experienced. But these feelings will lose their strength, as we enter a phase of healing, symbolized by the following Heart cards.

In this spread there a strong feeling of 'starting a new cycle' - it may be related to today's solstice, as well. In the Northern Hemisphere it's the beginning of Summer, and here in the Southern Hemisphere, of Winter. A new Season begins in our lives.

The other card that jumped out in this layout is the 3 of Hearts, because it's the only upright card. For me, it tells that, though we may experience an improvement (specially emotional, helping to ease some physical problems), there will be some moments of instability, related to opposite wishes.

From one side, we have the desire to connect to others, to share, to get in touch, and thus expose ourselves to the outer world. On the other side, the healing is not done yet, and we may feel compelled to stay inside our 'egg', waiting a bit longer. As comfortable as this alternative may seem, it may make our emotional river turn into a quagmire. The inner waters must not be held still for too long.

In a nutshell: In the coming cycle, feelings and experiences that have been dragging us down will start to lose their grip a bit, as we walk towards healing. It can become an intense month, emotionally-speaking,and there will be the need to balance the urge to expose oneself to others with the impulse to withdraw completely into safety. Sticking to any of the extremes is not good - true growth will come from learning how to work with both tendencies in the appropriate moments. You will have the opportunity to practice your emotional flexibility - Pilates for the spirit!
