As I sit at my desk I have in front of me the card called Reflection our cover this month. This card has always spoken to my heart and with all the events and challenges we face as a whole I felt compelled to share it with you.

Evolved qualities of Reflection according to the Voyager Tarot are: Reflecting Pool and Moon: Reflect; Contemplate. Winter Clarity: Get clear; Be clear; Evaluate; Plan. Winter Blue: Be at peace. Night and Moon: Dream; Imagine. Comet and Lightburst: Look for new visions, new ideas, new inspiration. Night and Winter: Hibernate; Take it easy; Relax; Lay off; Recuperate. Snow Covering: Be austere and simple; Don't move; Not a time for action; Wait.

The Unevolved qualities Reflecting pool: Overly reflective and passive to the point of being chronically inactive. Always waiting and watching. Afraid to jump into the heat and passion of life.

The last section is Your Reflection Oracular Universe. Astrology: Moon - Go inward into yourself. Be receptive, a receiver. Alchemy: Frozen Waters - Be still, pause. Silver - Self-reflect. Time: Winter - Reserve. Hold in. Contract. Geomancy: Mountain Lake - Find a place of refuge, a hermitage. High Altitude - Find an uncluttered environment with clear air and light. Shamanism: Wolf - Calculate. Hunt (seek, search); Pine Tree - Go on a vision quest. Aura: White - Assume a position of neutrality and openness. Be virginal.

And the final part of this card's message Reflection is your Priestess modus operandi in the material world. Think before you act. Reflect before you run. Contemplate before you consume. Introspect before you extrovert. Reflection is time off to take a good look at your situation. Be patient. Let time and reflection reveal how you are doing and what your next move will be.

Reflection can be thoughtful evaluation, contemplative meditation or creative envisionment. All require peace of mind uncluttered with the demands of worldly life. Get away from it all, even if for a moment. Emotional tranquillity brings clarity. You cannot see to the bottom of things if the surface is all stirred up. Understanding and insight come by looking deeply. Ask yourself, who am I, and what do I want. By reflecting on your true nature, you find your way in the right way in the End.

Is it any surprise why this card speaks so loudly and clearly? I hope that it speaks as much to your heart as it does mine.

Thank you for continuing to read In Light Times and for sharing it with others. I am grateful for all the joy and love as well as the lessons that are given.

May October bring to your hearts the song of Reflection clarity, knowing and above all self-realization of your Oneness with all things great and small.
