2012 Tarot * Fair Water Black Dragon * the Delusion of Success

Being that the dragon is symbolic of wisdom and longevity, and black of mystery and “the depths of the unknown,” and both of power and primordial elements, it is little wonder that a large number of Tarot cards reflect upon such a black dragon. That said, was however drawn to delusion and success as the two Voyager cards that best told the ongrowing story of this Chinese new year’s black water dragon.

“Real eyes that your mind boggling ideas will be considered delusions by many.” Know too that “your imagination may give you mirages, false suns, or diamonds in the sky.” All the same, maintain that “fortunes are built on dreams,” of “but you won’t know until you pursue” just that, your dream. “Is not an illusion as real as anything else,” is not “every vision an illusion until manifested on the physical plane of reality?” Follow the “illusion” or “vision” of your choice. Pursue “what your heart wants to do,” and go after “wherein your passion does lie.” And whether “delusions of grandeur, messianic thinking, pipe dreams, hallucinations of the mind, or quixotic ruminations,” fear not that it will all end in “ruins.” Follow your prompts. “Ideas are out there for anyone.” Come in from “out there,” and alter your consciousness, and ours. Convert your base chakra foundation into base camp for your long sought, most peak life experience. Quell your sexual waters in allowing your creativity to spring forth from emotional waters at rest. Align yourself with that mystical knowing and cross the sands of time in search of the sand dollars of your choosing, as we “ascribe to heaven, remedy which oft in ourselves does lie,” lest we forget not that “all will be well,” as best we ascribe to “as within, so without.”

Make believe it to be so. “Dream and envision.” Build the tools that help build new and better worlds. “Co create, cooperate, and draw different resources and elements together.” Be “earthmatic” and “practice the art of the possible.” Ally and “succeed in relationships with moon like sensitivity, caring and sharing.” Watch out for playing the material girl or getting caught up in an inflated sense of self import. “Initiate things, nurture with patience and persistence, and complete the task at hand.” Revel in the reward in and of itself. Real eyes that “success is ongoing,” and that “every failure is a new opportunity,” and that sometimes you’ve got to pass it backwards before you can score the goal. “Like the forest, which is renewed by fire, convert one step back to two steps forward.” Ride things out and get out from between a rock and a hard place. “Get established but not stuck in a status quo situation.” Recall too that “things take time,” and that “worlds undergo periodic natural upheavals, so make your (contingency) plans.” Ready and prepare, doing your best to look at things sunny side up. Recall that “worlds are not created overnight,” and that to “succeed in the world” requires “work and discipline.” Be systematic as you expand, grow and risk.” Step back to see the big picture, inclusive of your allusion.
