Daily Tarot, April 15, 2011: Is it the journey that counts?
Astrology Meets Tarot!
Almost but not quite…sometimes feels like the story of my life. For example, I almost became [a therapist] [addictions counselor] [sign language interpreter] [low carb advocate] [hosting mogul] [fill-in-the-blank-here].
So many times, I was completely sure of what I was doing. "This is it. This is what I’m supposed to do." And so many times, I eventually found myself thinking, "Eh…maybe not."
I keep telling myself what I learn en route, how I go about whatever it is I’m doing, matters a whole lot more than changes of course along the way. I hope I’m right.
Today, we’ve got the Fool, inverted. He’s associated with Uranus—shocking, sudden adventures, freedom to move on to entirely new vistas. I think of potential with the Fool, beyond all else. Inverted, you’re not quite off the ground yet. Or maybe you’re just not grounded? Either way, you’re not on sure footing. Doesn’t mean you will fall, but it’s certainly a possibility.
Like the Uranus energy embodied, the journey of the Fool is ever unpredictable. Even not knowing what you’re going to get, however, you do know the journey will change you somehow.
So the things in my life that didn’t quite turn out how I expected (i.e. damn near everything)? That’s okay. I got something from it, you know? I learned and I grew and I bent with the wind and now, I am where I am and I’m doing what I’m doing, the best I know how to do it.
The Fool tells me right now is about the journey, what skills and insights I can pick up along the way. I’d like to be "done," except there is no done here. There is only walking the path, being in the moment and striving for the next higher plateau, to see what sights are there.
What do you think? Is it the journey that counts?

No, I don’t think it’s the journey that counts. I think its the lessons you leanr along that journey and how you travel it that counts. I also think it is important not to have one foot in the future and one foot in the past and then piss on the present. Today..right now..this second what you are doing is important and where you should be. That’s hard, I constantly tell myself “Today Josi, come back to today–wherever it is your Pisces Moon has put you, come back” THAT is very grounding.
I know what you mean about the almost but not quite. I’d like to get “there” though.
That question has been on my mind these days. I’ve never really know where I was going but knew I’d get somewhere that’s for sure. But now there things I know I want to do in a much more clear way. These might be a step to something else and then to something else. I’m quite keen on letting things be now that I have found my inner grounding and my sense of purpose. What I know is there is going to be change all the way along because we don’t know what life has in store for us. It is through the journey that we get to end up anywhere – so I feel it is the more important. I’m breaking away from the past into the total unknown, I ‘ve got plans but have no idea if they will succeed, or what will really happen…but I’m not anxious about it though anymore.
Dixie-STOP VALIDATING MY CHILDREN’ VIEWS – I”M THE MOM – hahaha!!!
Yesterday was “what if”. I forwarded to my daughter & asked her opinion w/out giving her mine. She said giving it your all was about “enjoying the journey & not forcing issues” she explained if you bitch slap someone just because you want to get your point across then you aren’t giving the situation a real chance you’re just standing at the top of the mountain saying “nanne nanne boo boo I was right” but you’re alone on the mountain. Maybe if you just let things play out you’ll end up there together (WHATEVER). If you read my response from yesterday you can see we have COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VIEWS!
My daughter tells me the following all the time and is what your reading is about today.
“Mom, I wear glasses & you wear binoculars. I see enough to enjoy the journey & you only focus on the destination.” She later changed it from binoculars to telescope and calls me Hubble. She is SO much more mature than me!
Once again Dixie, a message for my family! Hugs from Texas!
Well, I sure hope it’s the journey that counts. Not much as turned out like I thought, either, but am learning and growing and adapting. I’m also learning to be happy in/on the journey, more than concentrating on where it ends.

I hope it ends where I want it to, but right now I am not sure where that is either. I get so darned side tracked with the details, that I miss the green lights and the flow. But I think I am getting closer the older I get. The clues are rising up to meet me more and more. Great reading Dixie!! Gets the mind cranking! : )

Okay… so I can so related to this blog… The Fool is also associated with the Coyote Medicine in Shamanism. So I think of Wiley E. Coyote with that and he bounces back and moves on to the next idea.
It is enjoying the process of the journey…the small experiences along the way that make up the journey. Right? Like you,Dixie… I would like to complete something and not feel like the next step is off another cliff.
I am learning along the way and enjoying the process, with the joy of completing a poem or a blog…the day with a smile, assist someone and having a smile on my face. Small steps get you moving forward. We just need to look down to see where our feet are at the moment…on the Ground or in the air. The Universe seems to have a safe net around…to catch us when we…well… misstep. smiling. enjoyed this one.
