A Birthday Blessing

Today is my birthday 🎉, and instead of doing a daily card I decided that I would give myself a bigger challenge and in turn learn a little more about myself and the year to come. So I popped over to Little Red Tarot, my go to for all things tarot related and decided that I would do Beth’s New Years Spread, for your birthday is truly the beginning of a personal New Year 😃. And as you can see Cosmo decided he would like to help out 😊

Birthday Reading

While there are 10 cards in the picture above this is actually a 5 position spread. Beth constructed it with the interactions between cards in mind, how their energies support each other or if they show any tension/conflict.

A Vixen’s Defiance – the Seven of Wands

Today’s  Card of the Day, the Seven of Wands, is all about aggression and defiance, standing your ground and asserting yourself. I absolutely adore Stephanie Pui-Mun Law’s interpretation of this card in the Shadowscapes Tarot, which shows a vixen and badger in a head on clash.

There are times in life when we need to stand up for what we believe in, these can be simple views, or they can be very dear to us, which is what I believe we see in the card above. The Vixen is not just fighting for herself, but in order to protect her kits. Her love for them burns in her heart, and the fear for their safety makes her fight with all her strength. Badgers can be very vicious animals, tough adversaries indeed. But when we have conviction and a strong character we can withstand any obstacle.
