“Aim Higher”

This week’s reading calls for us to be mindful of what we attract into our orbit and that it would be far more helpful to our “Bigger Picture” if we could gravitate towards people, situations, or ideas that inspire the very best version of ourselves rather than anything that sweeps us up in a tidal wave of excessive hunger. The Master represents being connected to the most evolved part(s) of ourselves; reminding us to operate from that perspective when combatting any circumstance. When presented with any new opportunity, The Master always takes full advantage of a situation, expertly handling whatever’s thrown his way with confidence, skill & style --but always with integrity. Here the Master along with Guarana help to stimulate confidence and offer encouragement repeating the importance of striving to act & create from our higher aspects rather than our lesser natures. While the Carnal Card generally represents the healthier expression of satisfying our sexual needs, it is challenged in this position speaking to our craving, grasping or lusting; of being overtaken by our baser desires. The Carnal card warns us that if we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed & consumed by what we lust, we fail to consciously activate the desire to achieve something greater--in other words, we retrograde our potential. The seduction may be so strong that we struggle to maintain the resistance needed to abstain & find it easier to surrender to the flow of least resistance. And so, we give into addictions, compulsions or anything that immediately satisfies a thirst when in fact we are being called to look closer. We are encouraged to discover our personal motivations & recent reactions which will lead to a greater understanding. Why you do what you do? (Who do you do perhaps?) Does is serve you? Is it helpful or ultimately harmful? Is it the best you can do? Are you masterfully drafting new experiences that will have a lasting positive effect? Are you taking the lead to actively stimulate the adventure you truly want for yourself? The Planet shows us our place in creation as well as our patterns and the powerful pull they have on our life & what we ultimately create for ourselves. Planet also calls to the immense importance of maintaining the highest quality of your atmosphere & to be conscious of what you are pulling in & surrounding yourself with. Anything that makes you less of the Master you are should be eliminated from your orbit. You are far more expansive, powerful & forceful than you can presently imagine.
