Tarot Bridging

Now, on to our monthly activity; this month’s exercise is for those of you with a Tarot deck of your own.  This is a good way to create a relationship with your deck, and to get acquainted with the individual cards- It's  “Tarot Bridging”. 

First, look through your deck and find the card that most suits your life at this moment.  You may choose this card simply by what the picture says to you, or by the card meaning, either from a book or from your own understanding of what this card means.  Next choose a second card that shows the desired outcome, how you would like to feel, or what you would like to have happen. 

Then, go through your deck and choose the cards you need to form a “bridge” from your first card to your second card, from your current situation to your desired outcome. I usually find three cards is a good number.  Then meditate on the lessons the cards have for you. Let the cards create a map which you can follow, to achieve your goal or desire.   When you are in daily life you can think back to the picture or the message of the card, and it gives you a concrete image to cling to.

I happen to have a Universal Rider Waite Deck, and that is  featured in these examples.  

For the Tarot Bridging examples below I chose two common life issues-- relationship misunderstandings and career frustration. 

A Bridge for conflict in love- 

This card is chosen to represent problems and conflicts in a relationship.  The outcome card chosen for this series is The Lovers.  This bridge starts in conflict, and ends in harmony.  

 This first card shows a person organizing the problems, sorting out the conflicts and dealing with them one by one.  

This card shows a person looking over the past, seeing how they came to this point, and planting seeds for a future.  
           

In this card we take the lessons we've learned from organization, from contemplation, and turn these lessons to the relationship.   
 And finally, the desired outcome.  Understanding and partnership instead of conflict.

This next bridge is for Career Frustrations-

 This card is chosen to represent the feeling of working hard, but not getting ahead.  The outcome card chosen for this series is The Chariot.  This bridge starts in feelings of impotence, and ends in taking the reigns of the future.  

Here we see someone building, working from a plan. There is a blueprint which is being followed.

Here is the Magician.  He takes the plans from the head, and brings them into this world.  Transforming a blueprint which existed only in the mind, and bringing it to the world.  

This card continues the theme of transformation.  It takes action, a change of attitude, and a commitment to stir things up and make something happen in the career.  

And finally, the desired outcome.  An approach to a career that is active rather than passive.
