The Dreamer ~0

The Dreamer ~0~

 The Dreamer is the first of the Major Arcana,  and the beginning of what we call The Dreamer's Journey.  When this card appears, we're encouraged to take a leap of faith.  Unexpected opportunities may present themselves, and there are endless possibilities for creating something wonderful.  We may find a new project that we have a great passion for, or our own development and growth may be our "project". Problems will most easily be resolved via creative solutions. This is a card of promise and hope!

The Dreamers Journey
 This is where our magical journey begins. A choice is made to create something new or to pursue an entirely new phase of life. The story of The Dreamer begins when we choose our path with great optimism and hope. You see, we must realize that on this journey, whoever is getting the reading is The Dreamer! We may not be entirely sure why we're here on Earth or what we're going to accomplish, but we'll receive clarity as we go forward on our quest, visiting all the magical people of the Major Arcana along our way. So get ready to meet amazing individuals! 

 This card also has a streak of independence around it and can indicate those who are leaving jobs they no longer enjoy or teenagers departing home to go off on their own.

Symbolism
 While The Dreamer card draws it's symbolism from the metaphor of the incarnation of a soul, it usually represents the beginning of any situation or phase in our lives.

 A beautiful and confident young person is stepping through a portal into this world. The youth represented here reflects the newness of the situation, though not necessarily the age of the person who drew the card. The portal speaks of a doorway that leads from whee our lives have taken us so far, to where we're currently building up faith to go. 

 A dog accompanies The Dreamer on the journey to remind us that the world is full of animal souls, here to help us balance our experience and our understanding of our purpose. A dog was chosen because of it's emotional connection with, and loyalty to, humankind is legendary.  

 A butterfly zips through the portal with The Dreamer. Butterflies are a famous symbol of transformation due to their ability to evolve from caterpillars into beautiful winged creatures. 

 Cranes are symbols of reincarnation in many cultures, and there's evidence of them having been on Earth for more than 60 million years. Their wide wingspans are believed to be able to carry them to Heaven, and therefore spiritual enlightenment. 

 Pegasus is a winged horse, who in mythology was said to be able to carry his rider one plane to the next--just as our Dreamer is moving into a new phase of life.

 Unicorns are beautiful, magical creatures of extreme purity of spirit whose energy can be a guide for how to be happy in our lives. 

The city below The Dreamer is a construct of human development. It represents life on Earth, as well as endless opportunities. The Dreamer is contemplating what might be created there. 

Angel Number
 In tarot, The Dreamer is number 0. This is a very mystical number that represents God and eternity. It's a blank slate from which anything can be created-- a cycle that begins, ends, and then begins again. It's perfect for a Dreamer who can re-invent oneself by simply having the faith to do so. Because The Dreamer card is considered both the beginning and the end of the Major Arcana., some also consider the card to be number 22. 

Archangel
 Archangel Metatron is known for watching over young people, as well as those who are seeking growth in their spirituality. When The Dreamer card represents anew project or endeavor, Metatron can easily help with this "young" situation.  Metatron presents himself in the colors violet and green. 

Astrology
 This card is associated with the planet Uranus, the symbol of which is on The Dreamers jacket. It's a planet of creativity, independence, and innovation; it encourages us to be our own unique selves. it's associated with the energy of setting us free from old ideas or situations that no longer serve us.

Balance ~14

 Balance ~14~  Balance was traditionally called Temperance in tarot. This is a word that means to meld or combine. We felt that re-naming the card Balance, made it much easier to understand. Balance refers to a time of cooperation with others and may ask us to be willing to change our plans, just a bit, so that everyone can be successful. The blending of ideas, is sure to bring about greater success.   This card asks us for patience; if things aren't working the way we're hoping, it may just be an issue of timing. When we contemplate major changes in our lives, this card asks us to take it slow and easy and to think things through carefully . This is not a time for acting impulsively!  The Dreamers Journey   Once we come to the Balance card, we've moved through a time of revelation and change. Now we must integrate those epiphanies into our lives. We have the opportunity to rise to a higher consciousness and are moving forward down the path to enlighte...

Life Experience ~16

 Life Experience ~16~ when this card shows up in a reading, It's trying to tell us we need to break out of the old, out-dated, and confining boundaries. This may occur because we've become aware of our situation and therefore choose to break free of our own accord. It may happen when a particular life event brings us an awareness that we can't deny.   In traditional tarot, this card was called The Tower and could be misunderstood.; in Angel tarot it is renamed Life Experience. Many had previously associated this card with frightening things happening. However, getting married is a Life Experience. Having a bay is a life experience. Graduating college is a life experience. All these events undeniably change the way we live on a daily basis and bring about new awareness.   Often, this card can represent an amazing revelation that helps us understand where we are in life verses where we'd like to be. This epiphany is one of freedom and of seeing things clearly.-- p...
