The Divining Rod Tarot Tuesday: Death Reversed

Death reversed suggests you are on the verge of major change, but you are resistant to it. You still carry harmful aspects from the past that may interfere with this opportunity for a new beginning. Your life has stagnated and you may feel stuck.

Unlike many other waterfalls, water rushing down Bua Tong, or the Sticky Waterfalls in the Sri Lanna National Park won't knock you down as you try to climb up. In fact, you can easily scale the rocks for a surreal outdoor adventure because mineral deposits on the stones create a surprisingly "grippy" surface to walk on. http://bit.ly/2vFE1TH

The good news is that you are finally willing and able to put in the work to get free. However, it is not going to be an easy journey. You will need to battle your inner fears and anxieties. Try to focus on positive habits and relationships to replace the negative and avoid leaving a vacuum for the devil to fill.

Good things, like good wine, take time.

The Divining Rod Tarot Tuesday: The Hermit

The Hermit appears during times of quiet and calm, wrapping a cloak of meditation around you. Perhaps you have finally accomplished a large goal or you are about to embark on a new venture - in either case, The Hermit holds space for you to stand in the silence and know yourself in this calm and isolated space.

Coming on the heels of yesterday's Solar Eclipse, the Hermit also suggests that you may need to take care of unfinished personal business, or make preparations for the future before you step back into the whirlwind of your life.
