Today’s Journey Tarot Card of the Day 8-9-14

8-9-14 Today’s Tarot is the Youth of Air. While it is rare for the same card to fall two days in a row, it does happen. It indicates a particularly strong influence. Just because you’ve never done something, doesn’t mean you can’t or you shouldn’t. Go for it! This card is about daring and independence.

Today’s Journey Tarot Child Cards

 

The Child cards from Today’s Journey Tarot all represent the expression of the Element in an immature way. The attributes of each Element have just been awakened. All of the cards in the deck can represent people or situations but the Family cards more specifically point to people, who embody the qualities of each suit. They can still represent situations in which the Element is being expressed immaturely.

The Child of Fire shows a young boy playing video games. He is mesmerized by the screen to the exclusion of anything else around him. The games have become his passion. Newly awakened, the Fire Element is not yet controlled. Misdirected or undeveloped passion can lead to singular focus or even obsession. The Child has limited his world to the games and all of his energy is directed toward that fixation. Although this passion is immature, it is very powerful. With control and direction the Child of Fire has the ability to master anything he sets his mind to. As he matures he will learn to use the Fire energy more productively. The Child of Water shows a young boy standing outside in a field of grass just as it is beginning to rain. He is holding out his hand to catch the first raindrop. There is a guitar slung over his back. Do you remember the first time you heard music that moved you? Probably not. But if you did you would be the Child of Water. He hears the expression of emotions in the world and he must be a part of that. This Child is sensitive and creative and needs to channel his emotions in an expressive way. While the Child of Fire needs direction and control, the Child of Water needs nurturing and the freedom to emote through a creative process. The Child of Air shows a young girl flying a kite. She has just gotten it up into the air. The yellow kite is a symbol of her thoughts which are beginning to take independent form and are not yet restricted by the limitations of a mature mind. Without limitations she can have ideas that could change the world. But her thoughts are not yet focused. They change from moment to moment depending on whatever catches her attention, like the wind moves the kite. It is a fine line between focusing our thoughts and stifling their creative ideas. The Child of Earth shows a young girl at a science fair. She is busy looking up more information about the exhibits she has seen. This Child pursues knowledge of her environment. She has awakened to the world around her and wants to know more. The Earth Element offers stability and endurance as well as abundance and growth. As she continues to learn more and more she will build a solid foundation for herself and her life.
