Have you been feeling ungrounded lately, kind of “floatey”, as if your head is in the clouds? The current planetary alignments, along with the Halloween energy is taking it’s toll on some of you. Mood swings, high and low energy, having difficulty concentrating, chaotic dreams, mild depression, and disruptions in sleep patterns are all symptoms of being “ungrounded”. You may also sense that other people are not noticing you or that you are not being heard. These are symptoms of ungrounded energy as well. The reason people may be responding to you this way is that your energy is scattered. This affects your aura, which influences how others see you. It’s almost as if there is a mist around you, people see you and then they don’t. Others may sense that your energy is a bit chaotic, and choose to avoid you. If this resonates with you, read on.
The card that stands out to me on the top row is the King of Pumpkins. Look at how grounded he is. His eyes are closed as if in meditation, and he is sitting deeply on his throne, a pumpkin in one hand and his scepter in the other. I get the impression that he is very centered here. The King of Pumpkins is the ruler of the physical, the tangible, the “real”. Money, family, home, career, property, the body, etc.
The two cards before this, the Ten of Ghosts and the Six of Ghosts tell how to obtain the centered groundedness of the King of Pumpkins. This is spending time with those that are closest to you, such as friends, family and even your beloved pets. Spending time with those that are “real” in your life. The three of ghosts reversed is a confirmation of this message, as when it is upright, it symbolizes unity, working in groups, friends, celebration, etc. In this spread, the reversed message indicates feelings of separateness, disconnection and isolation. Get out and do something fun!
Another question the cards bring up is to ask is what in the physical part of your life are you neglecting? Are you exercising enough? Are you reaching out to communicate with those that truly care about you? And I mean truly reaching out, a phone call or a visit. Have you been spending enough time with your kids and/or pets? Does your house need a good cleaning? These are simple things, but being present in the physical does not have to be complicated.
This powerful energy affecting us right now is calling us to closely examine what is “real” and to nurture this aspect in our lives. Let go of limiting beliefs and escapism behaviors to get back in touch with your true self.
The six of ghosts asks us to think back in the past of what made you feel happy and “present” in your life. Was it a hobby or physical activity? Did you perhaps used to paint or sculpt, participate in sports, teach classes, spend time outside gardening, be active in a community group, etc.? I’m especially seeing group activities and a connection with others here. It may be time to revisit what it was in the past that you did that kept you grounded and excited about your life. I think we get too caught up thinking that if we are doing something, it should be useful or should make money. A hobby can be just a hobby, something to enjoy. It’s important to fill our souls too, not just our wallets.
Get real, get grounded and get going. You got this!
