2 of Disks – Fluctuation
This month I am continuing journeying into the minor arcana cards of the
Sacred Circle Deck (available from my book store ), this month it is the
Two of Disks – the second card of the Disks suit – a card about change,
the natural ebs and flows in life. The twos are about duality and
difference in general – each expressed with the keynote of the suit
type.
As I look at the card I see two shields combined in image by a plant with delicate white flowers, giving the impression of a infinity sign tipped to one side. I feel like its summer and there is a small stone circle and a mound of rocks in the distance, it feels comfortable and familiar to me... ...
Deck created by Anna Franklin and Published by Llewellyn Deck available to buy from both websites, also from my book store.
I walk into the card....
I see the two shields in front of me there are slowly spinning and also the image balances one way then the other – like a see saw, I ask what they are meaning here and they say we are in a delicate state of balance changing each minute in response to the flow of energy in this area. It is right we move this way yielding to the forces of the time, but our fulcrum is indeed stable, we merely show the state of play of the energies about. Those who come to this place can use our position to show them how to work within the current energies where to adjust and where to keep the same. For all we change we are in tune with the constant flow of life. There are the rocks in the background who have watched us motionless for millennia and they are stable, changing only very little at a time. Their balance is on a larger scale and so seems constant – if you get far enough away from something you can always see the balancing forces at work in the universe and how these changes actually make for a stable universe. Where major changes are always done slowly and little by little – there is no hurry. We say in this card accept the changes that are around you at this time, they may make you feel out of balance but know that each reaction you have to the changes in the now you still have your focus and your core stability deep within yourself, there is no need to allow these micro eddies to knock you off balance as a person. Accept the times as they are, things are always adjusting adapting and changing – focusing on the long term, the big picture will give you the strength and security that you long for.
Thank you oh shields you have some good points here, you seem so delicate and new and shiny as you balance there and yet sound as if you have always existed.
We have always existed – it is in flowing and allowing our external parts to move that we stay new and shiny with no stagnation to desensitise us to the surrounding forces, we do not rust in the rain but keep moving expressing and being as we are. This is a message from us to you in your life too when you take this card as your focus.
I thank the disks again and move forward into the card and see the small stones in a ring in front of me. I feel this circle is sacred and has been for many many years I step towards it and ask its purpose and meaning in this card. I feel the answer is given with in me, that this circle is in celebration of the cycles of the stars and of life itself. That it is there to show the turning of each month and each season and that these changes are what keeps the world in balance. Each cycle having a time for rest, action, growth, and harvest and in this way we too need to honour our own cycles – to know each follows another and that if we are to truly be in balance we are not motionless and always staying the same but are honouring our true natures at each phase of our being. Resting when we need to rest, getting things moving when it is time to start up, growing in ourselves at the poignant moments, and reaping and appreciating when we have gained and sharing this with others, so in balance there is no stagnation. Do not fear being 'trapped in one cycle' know always another is on its way in its own time. Do not fear the change from one to the other, know each it right for its time and that it is being in your own truth that makes you both sensitive to these changes and also accepting. Many hove come here in times gone past to celebrate the cycles of nature and of the seasons and stars and as they do so they accept the cycles in themselves. Seek out places of power from old times such as these to rebalance your own awareness of your cycles and the fittingness of each phase in your life. For both nature and the energies of your ancestors will help you with this.
“Thank you so much oh wise ones.... this message means a lot to me personally as well as is very useful for this cards understanding – I am deeply grateful.” I bow and go to walk away but feel I am asked to step into the center so I do so and feel a peace and lightness come upon me as I reach the center point, the point of stillness above the eddies of physical life, I feel the stones are sending me light and showing me the peace within the stillness within that comes with the acceptance of the energies that move in the more physical parts of my life. I allow myself to receive their gifts humbly....
I know the time to leave and walk towards the mound of rocks or small crag in the distance. As I climb up the rock I feel its support of me, the weight it carries of me effortlessly, and I feel grateful for its wise and strong support. I stand at the top and look back to the circle and the disks, being doing and showing for me and us in this card. I feel I have a higher perspective – like the disks spoke of – just standing here – not so far as to be removed from this environment but enough to get an overview of how it all works. As I stand here I hear a voice say to me – “It is in the standing and observing of ourselves and our lives that we often receive the most guidance – allow yourself to come to this place when your life feels out of balance and you can see the larger picture – whether there is a balance to be addressed or whether actually you are merely experiencing a cycle in your life... and this too will pass. As you observe without judgment, you will find the answers you seek to your own situations and problems. ”
“Thank you stones and rocks beneath me – for your support and your guidance here – for holding me up high enough to view the world with new eyes. ”
I walk down the sloping side of the mound and back towards the door way I entered the card through... I feel the peace inwardly as I experience the energies of change that I walk through, and I understand 'fluctuation' much more deeply thanks to this journey. As I go to leave I take one look around the card and almost feel it smiling at me in pleasure as I leave to return to my energy world.
