Key 9: The Hermit evaluates and selects the necessary and discards the unnecessary elements along his path. He has achieved mastery. Keen discrimination is necessary at all times.

THE QUEST
She doesn’t understand me, He doesn’t understand me. I don’t understand. They don’t understand. How many times have you questioned at least one of these phrases. Fairly often, I should imagine. So who must we look to. Who is responsible? Remember that you are on a quest for truth.
In calm water, every ship has a good Captain
RETURNING TO SOURCE
In all situations there is more than one side to a story. When we find ourselves in any situation that involves behavioural struggles, instead of readily pointing the finger somewhere else. We should question our own behaviour. This is where growth takes place.
HOLD THE UNCERTAINTY
Some things will come to an end. Wave them goodbye and move on. Try to be patient with yourself. Keep an open mind and the willingness to change if and when that seems right.

9.9.2021 adds up to 23/5.
Meaning: Freedom. Change. Adventure. Curiosity.
The Pivotal Point:
If others oppose your ideas be careful not to allow the difference of opinion to degenerate into quarrels. A severe approach can alienate friends. You will find that obstacles disappear and the pace speeds up.
There’s only one thing you can be sure of in life and that is change.
Once Leos set a goal, they pursue it with single-minded determination. If a Leo sets their mind on something, everyone better get out of their way!
TAROT CARD FOR LEO
(Key Eight) Strength.
FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
The ‘Strength’ card, represents a graceful figure of a queen and a wild lion, showing that true strength is a combination of many aspectsof ourselves~ the physical, ego, emotional strength & grace. It symbolises being strong on the inside, how well we can overcome obstacles, and being accountable. However, this card is not only about physical strength; it’s also about moral and emotional strength.
The roses around the woman and the lion form a chain. Roses representing desire, must be tended and properly cared for. In this context, a chain of roses is a series of cultivated desires. Any suggestion emanating from a desire sets up a chain reaction in the subconscious that eventually results in manifestation. The cosmic figure 8 shaped curve over her head gives her dominion in this world. The only two numbers that can be written over and over again without ending are ‘8’ and ‘0’ As such they represent divine power.

Me: Dry cat food and deodorant. And maybe some yoghurt.
Him: (Stares at me)
Me: (Notices the silence and the look on his face) … You didn’t ask me what we needed from the store, did you?
Him: No.
Me: uhmmm

TAROT: CARD FOR JULY
July represents (Key 7) The Chariot.
The CHARIOT.
Symbolically the Charioteer is the soul, directing the body. Look at the Chariot card closely, notice that the charioteer has no reins. It is mentally, through the will, that he directs the sphinxes. The starry canopy overhead indicates that we are recipients of celestial energies. The winged globe on the cart represents self consciousness elevated by aspiration.
ASTROLOGY-SIGN:
Cancer (Moon)
June 21-July 22
(Key 7) Cancer.
CANCER RULES
The crab has a shell which protects its soft body, from the dangers of the outer world. Cancer withdraws into its protective shell to ponder recent experiences and examine them subconsciously.

Numerology and the Divine Triangle. Faith Javane and Dusty Bunker
Gemini rules hands, arms, lungs and shoulders. these are all pairs that must operate in unison, if the body is to be well coordinated. Also, we use our hands and arms to express love by touching and holding. Many people cannot communicate effectively without the use of their hands. Domestic life is your highest priority this month and will find comfort in the home, or in home related activities.
Tarot Card of the Month
June represents (Key 6) The Lovers.
The Gemini Twins card is an obvious reference to partnership and marriage, while signifying equality in relationships. This card is saying that in any relationship scenario, be it love or friendship, you must regard any upsets as a challenge to be overcome not just as a barrier. ~ Step by Step Tarot. Terry Donaldson.
Tarot Card Symbology
The tree behind Adam symbolises the signs of the zodiac. The flames on the left of the tree trunk represent the five senses and those on the right symbolise the body and the original planets. Behind Eve, is the tree of knowledge. The serpent in the tree, the kundalini force, giving them power to create.

IT ALL ADDS UP
There are no coincidences. There IS an order in the universe and here is a key that can put your world into logical perspectives. Numbers are also synthesised with Tarot keys, planets and signs and decals of the zodiac.
THIS IS A BRIEF PROFILE ABOUT:
Pamela Colman-Smith
NUMEROLOGY:
In numerologyPamela’s birth path represents: ’33’ ~ The Spiritual Avatar.
MEANING:
‘The Spiritual Avatar’ is considered to be a love vibration raised to the highest level “Compassion’
’TEACHER OF TEACHERS’
‘33’ as a number is the versatile, creative, resourceful and imaginative. Although it may require self sacrifice and sometimes martyrdom. Otherwise known as the ‘Teacher of Teachers’ It is the number of the reformer with a strong desire to make the world a better place in which to live.
Although, there are risks in living up to such a high vibration. In the negative ’33’ can be emotionally unstable and will sacrifice themselves for any cause. The danger is, becoming a doormat for others.
ASTROLOGY-SIGN:
Pamela was born on 16.2.1878 under the star sign of Pisces.

THE TAROT CARD
I think that the tarot card, that relates mostly to the spirit of Pamela would be:
THE EMPRESS
Pamela was a self confessed lover and creatrix of beautiful things.
(Key 3) The EMPRESScard symbolises the sub conscious mind.
It is a reference to that memory which produces growth through the imagination. The Empress card shows that the way forward, is to develop and put to use your own creativity. Your own ability to make things grow. ~ Step by Step Tarot. Terry Donaldson.
The EMPRESS ruled over Pamela’s own personal creativity. It is directly related to the emotions in which this creative potential is rooted. Without our ability to see, feel and to experience the different emotions of love, pain, fulfilment and rejection, we would all be dead as doornails, at least as far as the EMPRESS is concerned.
The real challenge is to learn to accept all of our feelings.
THE EMPRESS CARD SYMBOLOGY
Look closely at the card. The trees, dress and wheat symbolise the ripening that takes place in the intuitive mind. The stream is the life stream, the stream of consciousness. The twelve stars on her crown are the twelve zodiac signs or the twelve months. thus representing time itself. In the same vein it takes time to bring our desires into manifestations.
We live in a society in which the EMPRESS is heavily repressed.

GOOD HEAVENS
You mean … that happened back when?
but why didn’t she say something?
… when he said nothing then?..
Each vibrant painting depicts a symbolic story,
bestowing kingdoms of good treasures and glory.
She began with a word and the word was emotion,
each illustration, imbued with a spiritual potion.
The colours, the liveliness, the right actions,
each story holds human divination satisfaction.
From morning to night, creating from source,
each card, a contemplative signpost for cause.
As genius in the design of costume and arts,
a deep symbolic wisdom, is held in each card.
Many have walked within her graceful steps,
the Empress of righteous thoughts… she kept.
Today all praise her eyes and ears of truth,
however, back then, her talents were rebuked.
Rider and Waite held copyrights to her fame,
what a pity, they never testified of her name.
Incredulously. He, had been her best friend,
embarrassing, is how the ‘Rider Waite’ fate ends.
PAMELA COLMAN-SMITH; Artist of esoteric mysteries,
aka *PIOUS PIXIE, the designer in tarot card history.
In memory of her work in faith and labour of love,
in patience, her talents, elected from heaven above.
In dedication, as I hold my hand on my navel,
I shall bow to her prophecies of mystical tales.

Never forgotten. Requiescat in pace
ALONE -
Alone and in the midst of men,
Alone 'mid hills and valleys fair;
Alone upon a ship at sea;
Alone -- alone, and everywhere.
O many folk I see and know,
So kind they are I scarce can tell,
But now alone on land and sea,
In spite of all I'm left to dwell.
In cities large -- in country lane,
Around the world -- 'tis all the same;
Across the sea from shore to shore.
Alone -- alone, for evermore.
~Pamela Colman-Smith
