IN THE MTHIC TAROT
This card portrays PSYCHE (soul) who must journey into HADES/Pluto;s realm to retrieve a pot of Persephone’s beauty cream which Aphrodite {Venus} has ordered her to do in order for her to achieve true love. That must be one awesome beauty cream.
This card describes the most difficult stage in the journey that PSYCHE or SOUL makes in its quest for real relationship. The symbol of entering death’s realm which no living mortal ever escapes symbolizes, abandoning all hope. Psyche goes willingly because she is so committed- it’s just like Saturn in Scorpio,
This is where most people when confronted with the fact that a relationship is over, that there is nowhere to go left, go into denial, refusing to acknowledge that their situation is over, no matter how much pleading, begging and wishful thinking they indulge in. That only prolongs the pain.
By surrendering willingly, the opportunity for change arises.
What do you really need to let go of?
Where are you defending yourself against feeling the depression?
Depression is SATURN territory. The cure is in feeling the hopelessness in a way that doesn’t lead to suicide, and hopelessness, and has a holistic overview. It’s just a necessary balance, just Part of the journey, the downside needed to recognize and differentiate the UP side. Yon and yang. Saturn in Scorpio is heating this energy and issue up.
Most people are given drugs for depression which are dangerous and a temporary cure but really only serve to worsen the situation as the suppressed unintegrated feelings get stronger, more wild until they cannot be contained anymore. Witness all the shootings Navy Yard, everywhere in the U.S. now and so often.
It’s like the leaking radioactive Japanese reactor Fukushima is a metaphor for the world’s undigested Psyche which is pouring out in to the Pacific ocean and contaminating the largest ocean in the world and which can never be contained and will take thousands of years to reach neutrality.
Pluto is Atomic energy, and Pluto in Capricorn- is contained in a secure structure. Saturn in Scorpio- which is the sign Pluto rules are in mutual reception now.
Lets have a more integrated holistic sense of soul needs. Not fantasy, glamour, addictions of one type or another and illusion, that is Neptune in Pisces, also training Saturn ad Pluto.
The cosmos is pointing out the major players and what the cure is. Venus in Scorpio is TRINE Chiron in Pisces exact yesterday all sextile Pluto in Capricorn.
Have faith, and abandon all hope.
Swallow your bitter pill, It’ll make you stronger.
Abandon all hope but know that the next card in the sequence is the 9 of cups called
THE WISHING CARD.
