Life is full of transitions, some chosen while others are thrust upon us. It does not matter if the alteration is elective or not; it still produces uncertainty and anxiousness that must be dealt with in order for the metamorphosis to be completed. There are many good tools available from the smorgasbord of self-help books, CD’s and DVD’s that promote a higher level of consciousness to ease ones evolution. The tarot is just another wonderful example of how we can gain insight and clarity in times when neither appears to be present.

When leaving one level of life for another there is the destruction of energy and the rebuilding of that energy that usually appears as chaos. As if from a scene of “It’s a Mad, Mad World”, the days play out with no rhyme or reason; thus leaving us totally overwhelmed and exhausted.

What is not seen or felt until we are in the limbo state (if we are brave enough to look) is that behind the apparent confusion lies order and harmony. This is not always easy to accept, especially when the change was thrust upon us such as a loss of a loved one. How is there ever order and harmony in that? All death is sacred, maybe not so much in the way the person died, but the actual transition is a scared act in and of itself. It is a gift to be with a person when they make their transition-a bittersweet gift. It is a contract we fulfilled with them. The transition that we go through afterwards is probably the biggest and most life changing event we can expierance. It is a sadness that never goes away-a sacred sadness. When we view the death process sacredly (that does not mean denying, the hurt, guilt, anger, depression, remorse and a host of other emotions that go along with it) we see the Divine Order and Harmony that accompanied that persons life.

Even when we choose to move to another state (or town) to a new job or home, the plethora of emotions can also be overwhelming. We are caught up in an energy vortex that either leaves us manic or emotionally paralysed. Again, it’s all about a change of vibrations which it takes a while for us to adjust to. One of my first teachers’ way back in the dawn of time taught me that after any major change it usually takes a year for the energies to settle down. From my own experience and seeing those of others I can attest that there is some truth to that statement.

Like all three card spreads, the “Transition Spread” is short, simple and to the point. Use it, modify it to fit your needs, do what ever works for you. It is a guide post and enjoy your journey as a psychic traveler.
