Tarot Combinations: The Emperor and King of Cups

Leading with Empathy

This is a leader who is able to lead from a place of empathy for those they leads. This is somebody who worked their way up from the bottom and has earned their leadership role through many difficult experiences, trials and tribulations. This is somebody who has not forgotten what it means to struggle and endure hardships. They know what life is like for those they lead and will do their best to lead with understanding and compassion. This is a leader who knows that sometimes difficult decisions will have to be made, and that sometimes these decisions will not be popular or easy for all involved to handle. With this understanding, they will do what they can do to make the decisions with the utmost concern and understanding for those involved. — Jim Larsen

Tarot Combinations: 8 of Cups and The Devil

The Shadows of the Past No Longer Serve You

Put the shadows behind you. Walk away from them. It no longer serves you to dwell on the past. Forgive yourself for everything you feel you have done wrong, that you could have done differently or for what you should have done. All of that is in the past and you cannot go back to it. Forgive yourself and live in the light, not the shadows. Accept that things are as they are, and this is how they are meant to be. When you do this, new vistas open ahead of you and any guilt from the past cannot stop you from exploring them. — Jim Larsen

Judgment: What Has Your Life Added Up To?

Judgment Tarot Card
Judgment Tarot Card

To consider this is not an attack on your character

Judgment is the archetype of complete honesty. This cannot be faked. To even try to fake this would to live in denial, which will always be found out. Judgment is about assessing reality and examining strengths and weaknesses. It is about assessing how your actions have added up to create the life you now live, and what you could have, and perhaps should have done differently to affect a different outcome, perhaps a better and more hospitable outcome based on your life’s mission and the goals for personal Enlightenment that you have set for yourself.

In a perfect sense, the assessment from the Judgment archetype will be accepted as it is given- dispassionately and impersonally. In an imperfect sense, it will be met with resistance by the one receiving it. This person will take it personally, as if it is an attack on their character. Their egos will interfere with the wisdom and the growth opportunities inherent to it. They will push it away because it challenges what they have come to believe about their selves. One must take into consideration as an archetype, Judgment is never presented as a personal attack. It is presented as learning opportunities and chances to better one’s self. To let ego get in the way only diminished its power and intention.

Consider your actions as though you must one day answer for them in a court of a much higher power. Can you justify them? This is one message the Judgment card of tarot has for you. — Jim Larsen
