The spiritual theme of self-responsibility continues as we enter the month of June and Gemini season. Clear, honest, genuine communication and – even better – connection with oneself, other people, and the Universe, will be the order of the day.

Let’s get to the reading!

TAROT

LEFT: THREE OF SWORDS REVERSED. The Three of Swords looks formidable – three blades through a bleeding heart can’t be comfortable – but in reality, its energies are weak. It represents the sorrow and heartbreak of over-thinking, conflict and/or separation, but these are easily resolved with mental discipline and clear communication (Swords represent thought and expression). When reversed, these energies are weakened further, and could indicate the end of heartache if one makes the right choices. The wrong choices could lead to chronic despair, though, so make your decisions carefully this week.

MIDDLE: FIVE OF CUPS. The first step to making the right choices lies in developing the right perspective of things. The Five of Cups, known as the Lord of Disappointment, centres around a figure mourning over three glasses of spilt wine, but forgetting (or ignoring) the other two which haven’t spilt. There’s no point crying over spilt milk, wine, or whichever your beverage of choice is – but after unfavourable events occur, what matters is how you regroup. This week, focus on the advantages that you still have, and can leverage upon. Remember:

Happiness is an inside job. It starts with you.
If you can’t be happy unless something happens or someone changes…
you’ll be miserable forever.
Your happiness is your responsibility. No one else’s.

RIGHT: SIX OF PENTACLES. This card suggests taking action to shift the energies and perspectives of a challenge you may be facing this week. The Six of Pentacles is a card of respect for boundaries, equal give-and-take, and healthy power dynamics based on a clear understanding of one’s role or position in the situation. For some of you, a positive development is about to break through in a career/workplace situation. This could manifest as a job offer for a few lucky souls. Or you may be expected to clarify your stand regarding interpersonal relations, job scope, promotions etc. If you’ve been a good and conscientious worker, positive things are coming for you, and well done. Conversely, those of you who haven’t been behaving lately are about to eat humble pie. If this is your favourite dish, good for you.

GODDESS GUAN YIN DIVINATION

LOT NUMBER: 9

第九签

烦君勿作私心事
此意偏宜说问公
一片明心光皎洁
宛如皎月正天中

In your frustration, do not yield to self-seeking acts.
Allow conscience and fairness to guide you.
Your heart will be bright, pure, sublime,
Glorious like the full moon in the sky.

LOT NUMBER: 33

第三十三签

内藏无价宝和珍
得玉何须外界寻
不如等待高人识
宽心犹且更宽心

Priceless treasures are hidden nearby;
You search everywhere, but in vain.
Why not wait for the one who knows?
His advice will put your mind at ease.

(Trans. Tan Kelly)

This week, the Goddess has granted us two divination lots to guide our path. Her Divine grace is infinite, and infinitely wonderful. The Goddess Guanyin does not lie – this week could possibly bring frustration and disappointment – but She reminds us that blessing is just around the corner, nearer to us than we can imagine, but only hidden for now.

The temptation to lash out, to engage in angry, selfish actions that indulge the ego is strong. After all, what could go wrong with a little revenge? An eye for an eye? The answer: a hell lot could go wrong. Lot 9 states that if you are tempted, don’t stoop to the level of those who seek to harm you. Rather, act always in accordance with the righteousness and purity the Goddess lovingly asks of you.

You don’t have to do it alone.
Ask the Goddess for strength. She will give it.

We are advised to keep our spirits strong, and never to give up on our search for happiness – both around us, and (more importantly) within ourselves. Lot 33, in particular, mentions that help will arrive and bring us the peace of mind we desire. This helper could be human or Divine. Keep your heart open to possibilities.

Remember that happiness is not only the destination, but also the journey;
not only the trophy, but also the battles we fight.
Keep fighting. Never give up.

I’ll leave you with this song, 街頭霸王 (Street Tyrant) by a Taiwanese musician called TANK, that has been playing in my head a lot recently. I love these lines, which I’ve translated here:

我 TRY　TRY 以後的未來　
我期待　那舞台
我 TRY　TRY 以後的未來　
就算失敗　我也會不斷重來
終於　站上這個舞台　
我明白　不簡單
終於　站上這個舞台　
就算失敗　我也會不斷重來

I try, try for the future that’s coming
My hope lies on that stage
I try, try for the future that’s coming
Even if I fail
I will return and fight, endlessly
Finally on this stage
I understand
It was not easy to get here
Finally on this stage
Even if I fail
I will return and fight, endlessly
