A Moment with the Gypsy Fortune Cards: The House, The Anchor (reversed), The Rider

The House, The Anchor (reversed), The Rider

If today's message resonates with you, book a reading or show me some love at buymeacoffee.com/thegiftedreader.


The quick read: What's normally secure feels a bit insecure now, but this is a hurdle that can be cleared.

The more in-depth read: This was a personal read, but it's a message that I'm sure a lot of folks can relate to. I'm in a situation that I honestly thought I'd be out of by now. Every time I get into a groove of making great progress, there's always something trying to slow me down. Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? Not necessarily.

These cards come from a gypsy fortune deck. The House represents stability and security. The Anchor also represents stability and being grounded. The Rider represents change, overcoming obstacles, and momentum.

At the heart of this spread is the Anchor in the reversed position. This means you're still floating. You can't dock yet because there is still more to be done.

Initially, when I saw the anchor reversed, I felt a bit discouraged because I thought it was reflecting that a very huge part of my life that I've been fighting so hard to keep is over, and I'm going to have to start over yet again. However, as I sit with these cards a little more, I see something different. The Rider next to it is saying that it isn't over. As a matter of fact, this is just another fence to jump over.

The card depicts a rider on a white horse. This calls to mind the story of Pegasus. Now, I have a series of personal journal entries about my visits to a local spring, which tie greatly into my understanding of Pegasus and why my spirit family pointed him out to me a few years ago. One of these days, I'll compile them into one piece and publish them somewhere.

In short, Pegasus is considered in some Greek legends to be the offspring of Medusa and Poseidon. He is a winged white horse that lived among the gods. It is said that when he landed on the ground, he hit the ground so hard that springs and fountains burst through the ground.

In the illustration of The Rider, there is a body of water in the distance. Water, the source of life.

Where am I going with this?

The message is very simple, even though I used a lot of words. Everything is going to be alright

I'll have an even deeper dive on this later on.

In the meantime, stay encouraged.

Love,

Sparkle Noir

A Moment with the Cards: Flamingo in Winter

Snow and ice covered the ground outside of my home when I pulled the Flamingo card from my animal oracle deck. I laughed when I turned the card over because the absurdity of this card appearing in the middle of such circumstances was as ironic as it was symbolic for what’s happening in my personal and professional lives. It is as reflective of my new adoptive name, Sparkle Noir, as it is a message of encouragement for anyone who comes across this.   A Shallow Dive Instead of a Deep One To start out on the shallow end of the pool of Flamingo spiritual symbolism, let’s take a look at the color scheme. Pretty much all the flamingos I’ve seen are bright pink birds with long legs. They are known for being able to stand on one leg for long periods. Brightness and balance are what I immediately think of when I see this card. A widespread snowstorm has covered half of the United States, yet here is this card sent as a reminder to remain optimistic even in the cold and dark days. While many...

A Moment with the Cards: A Good Cry Is a Spiritual Bath Part II - Empathy & Heart of Gold

Lately, when I pull oracle cards, I find myself not fully reading into them right away. I’ll take mental notes of my first impressions, but I really have to let them marinate for a few days or even a few weeks. That’s exactly the case for the cards I’m about to share today. First, let me call back a reading I called A Good Cry is a Spiritual Bath because it is relevant. Tears play a huge role in my interpretation of these cards today. The cards for today are Empathy from Paradise Oracle and Heart of Gold from Oracle of Great Mystics. A Shallow Dive Instead of a Deep One Visually, both cards exude softness, which is what one would expect from empathy, I hope. When someone tells you that you have a heart of gold, they usually mean that you have great personality characteristics that are marked by kindness and generosity. For the sake of time-saving, I won’t do a deep dive on my interpretation of this because my personal reflections will say more than anything I could possibly imag...
