Hope often gets treated like a fool's errand, as though it's a side effect of naivety. However, science tells us otherwise. According to Psychology Today, "Hope is not just a feel-good emotion, but a dynamic cognitive motivational system. ...Hope leads to learning goals, which are conducive to growth and improvement. People with learning goals are actively engaged in their learning, constantly planning strategies to meet their goals, and monitoring their progress to stay on track. A bulk of research shows that learning goals are positively related to success across a wide swatch of human life—from academic achievement to sports to arts to science to business." So when all seems lost, turn to the Star card, set some goals, and have some hope.  It's September 23rd, 2020, and the situation around the globe is scary, frenetic, and unpredictable. What a great time for the Tower card! It is a card of sudden and unexpected shock, chaos, and disruption.
Questions answered by The Tower: Who? The one who controls your fate - such as a boss; What? Emergency preparations, imminent disaster Where? A place where disaster has struck When? March to April, October to November; Immediate and surprising Why? Tragedy is inevitable Yes or No? No What should I clean?

Ask yourself this - in the worst of times, will you run away out of fear, or will you face the devastation with purpose? There is no wrong answer, as the fight vs flight reaction is a biological necessity designed for your safety. If running protects you, run. If fighting empowers you, fight. Whatever your move, resist apathy, or you'll backtrack into the previous card in the Major Arcana--the Devil. Idle hands are the devil's playground, after all. When the Tower appears, do something.  Devil is attachment, self-victimization, and addiction. The pictured baby is trapped, surrounded by material desires, and unsure of what to do. While this card is indicative of addictions, greed, and learned helplessness, it is a hopeful message that you can break free of your limitations.
For example, this baby could start screaming, and I'm sure its parents would pull it out of the metal cage pretty quickly. What's your metal cage? Start screaming. The Devil as: A place in the world?

 How fitting that today's card is Temperance. I've been pushed out of my office by dueling coworkers (a child engaged in remote learning, and a spouse requiring privacy for meetings) and have found myself growing frustrated at the lack of places to work.
Temperance is the emotional side of right and wrong. It is the balance between patience and irritation, between compromise and stubbornness. I have to exercise some temperance while I wait for a space to become available. Temperance reminds us to stay calm during turmoil in order to get things done. Progress is made when we can look at things with a level head. I'm trying. Temperance as: An action?
Okay. Place in your house?
None of those work as a temporary office, but they will help me feel better. Something to eat?
Now here we go - Coffee and carbs will make me feel better. A new career?
Or I could just change jobs to foreign humanitarian anthropology mediator. Then I won't need access to an office at all! Thanks Temperance!  Death is disruption, chaos, and transformation. The baby pictured on this Death card is weeping at a loss, but transition to a new adventure is imminent.
Death is often the most feared card in the tarot deck, but it is nowhere near the worst. The death card has the most to teach us about our situation and our life. In fact, the Death card is more about life and how to live it than other cards in the deck. Death exists to remind us that the ending of one thing is the beginning of another. Questions answered by Death: Who? The person going through the biggest change or transformation; the Grim Reaper What? A painful but necessary change Where? The last place you were when everything changed When? October-November; stormy weather; quickly Why? Because you need to let go and trust that the Universe is leading you to something even better Yes or No? No. Reversed? also no Some Death card combinations: With Temperance: Someone's patience is wearing thin. With Knight of Cups: A relationship is ending, or a new one is about to start (depending on the order in which the cards are drawn.) With Two of Wands: A difficult decision that results in huge change. With Two of Swords: A total Stalemate. No option is good. With Ten of Pentacles: A death leads to a large inheritance.  The Hanged One dangles precariously from a tree branch, the vines hung loosely around his or her ankle. But the hanged one is not here against their will - in most decks, you can see the vine knots are tied loosely.
The Hanged One is often in this moment by choice, temporarily sacrificing themself for the greater good. Questions answered by The Hanged One: Who? The person who stands to lose the most, but will do so for the greater good What? A period of transition Where? Up high, such as in a tree or on a tall shelf; wherever the sacrifices are made. When? February-March; After a time-out Why? Because there is an easy way out, you may only need to wait a bit longer to untangle your cords Yes or No? Maybe. It is situational What should I clean?
