Tarot for Healing the Planet

It only works if we do

Timeless Tarot features readings done in the past that are still relevant today.

This reading was originally published on March 3, 2022 and was prompted by my query as to what could be done to support the people of the Ukraine and prevent future acts of aggression. And now, more than two years later, little has changed on the world scene. In fact, we’ve witnessed additional horrific acts of terrorism in Israel and the retaliatory violence that has ensued. Clearly, more people need to read this message, so I’m updating and rereleasing. Tarot reveals the answers, but it’s up to us to put the advice into action.

TIMELESS TAROT

The Light Seer’s Tarot cards and art by Chris-Anne. The stones of the 7 chakras are placed to support your balance and healing.

Sometimes I use Tarot or oracle cards to help shift my thinking or open up new ideas to consider. At the same time I was contemplating how I could help to raise the vibration of the planet myself and with others, I learned that the creator of one of my favorite Tarot decks, Chris-Anne, had a video lesson on how to use The Light Seer's Tarot in a new spread she called "Tarot for Healing."

It's a 3-card spread. Card #1 indicates the (false) belief that nothing you do will change your problem.

Card #2 is the action you must take to change the situation.

Card #3 reveals the opportunities or what can be achieved if you take action.  

Chris-Anne suggests using this spread when you feel overwhelmed or that circumstances are beyond your control.

So, I asked:

What can I and the people of the world do now to support peace and take steps to prevent this type of aggression from happening again?

I did this with great ceremony, proportionate to the seriousness of my query. I lit candles, surrounded the cloth I used with protective crystals, and meditated on my question before pulling the three cards pictured in the spread above.

You probably noticed there are 4, not 3, cards. The bottom card was a "jumper," that fell from the deck as I was shuffling.

Card #1: 5 of Swords. Represents conflict, unfair advantage, desire for peace, feeling helpless or lack of skills.

Card # 2: Page of Swords. Showing up in reverse doesn't indicate "opposite of." It means to give the card different or unconventional attention or meaning. The Page of Swords represents young, restless energy, fast action, learning new things, being a student or apprentice.

Card #3. 8 of Pentacles indicates mastering a new skill, soul purpose, progress towards craftsmanship or expertise. Appearing in reverse gave me pause until I looked at the Jumper card more carefully.

Jumper: 4 of Swords. A time for deep rest, healing, renewal, self-care.

My Interpretation

Card 1 is self-explanatory and indicates to me that my query was being addressed.

Card 2 in reverse tells me that new or quick solutions are not the answers to long-term problems and that additional learning is required.

Card 3 suggests that mastering new skills and ideas will happen but appearing in reverse is another indication that there are no shortcuts.

The Jumper card confirms the need for deep introspection and healing, in this case on both personal and global levels.

To create peace, we must be peace. To create love, we must be love. To create connection, we must learn how to connect at a soul level.

This doesn't mean that we do nothing but meditate until the situation clears, but it does support the truth of the matter:

Nothing changes until we do.

Changing on the individual level is step 1. Connecting with like-minded individuals is step 2. Embracing our unique talents and combining with the strengths of others in purposeful action is step 3.

Most of us have been around long enough to know that these crises pass only to reoccur at another time, in perhaps a different place. To put an end to the constant cycle of aggression and abuse of power, we must do more. We must decide how to act (be) and not react because the inevitable recurrence will happen—unless we change today.

Let There Be Peace on Earth is a song written by Jill Jackson-Miller and Sy Miller in 1955. The lyrics have been adapted by houses of worship and spiritual centers all over the world. Yet the first two lines sum it up in entirety:

Let there be peace on Earth

And let it begin with Me.

Now you know what to do.

I hope this message supports you on your journey. Until next time… My best, Shelley
