...8.16.19...tarot: the sun...


...sunshine on your day... approach all with optimism... what would that look like for you?... what does it mean to be radiant from the inside?... for me it means embracing challenges of the day with opportunity and arms fully wide to hug them... to release and burn perfection by playing trying and not trying to get it right by Reaching for You....

...the turning point... the sun has reached the peak of the northern solstice and has tilted towards the south... the southern solstice is upon us... india and pakistan both celebrated their independence the past two days even as kashmir is held at gun point by the hindu extremist government of india at the moment... august has tilted from midway point... climaxing in towards second half...


...the sun is Light... is happiness... yellow... it was all yellow... your smile... joy... summer time... sight... seeing... brightness... good mood... it takes on divine like connotations at times as it is what allows us to see...

...the sun can also scorch burn us, as it did to me last week, after i grabbed and ran through the monkey bars in the park with my nephews last week... my nephew commented that the bars were extremely hot... they're not that bad, i responded as i continued to play and even challenged him to a competition... after, when i felt burning sensations on my hands, i stared at my palm and saw part of it peeled off... the thickest skin in the upper body... peeeled off... a sign indeed that arrogance... ostentation... getting too close to the sun... as icarus only realized afterwards... leads to being burned...

...then there is the figurative burning... the pyre... placing the ego there... dying before you die, as the prophet muhammad advised ego-washed humanity... burning sage... burning that which holds you back... burning and letting go...

...the sun requires a balance... allows you to grow go float if you tap into just the right amount... surya namaskar - hence the salutations... to become just enough liquid for splits, for focus fire to re-energize... to take hold...

...the sun is our star... the one that with the special elements of our planet give rise to life...

...approaching the sun with balance - taking on its energy... embracing it... and using it to move to get things going... to take flight...

...in traditional tarot there is a boy on a horse basking in the sun... naked and smiling... behind him there is helix type road leading towards the sun... and on behind him on the other side is a field of sunflowers... all healthy and happy... it is the # 19... the 19th card... the most auspicious # in islam as it is taking that one step past the cliff of 9... into the unKnown... die before you die...

...the sun is inside and out... the earth is lit... growth is happening... joy abounds... the horse is the figurative march forward into the divinity that the white represents...

...today i am Radiant in all that i do... happy for problems and challenges... and Love... all of which exists in me... the sun... to go Higher... to sweat... to Reach for You in the ALL...
