Three of Fire
Gaian Tarot

First Impressions:  I love this card as it is so full of expression and passion.  This card is about passion, controlling the flames, happiness, self control, and dancing.    When I look at this card, I think about being joyous, it is about being comfortable in my own skin.  I am a woman who knows what she wants.

Book:  On fire with the joy of creativity, sexuality, and self empowerment.  Life is flowing and nothing can hold you back.  Be proud of all you are and all that you have accomplished.

Journaling:

What a wonderful card to draw for Beltane, the first fire festival.  I do feel comfortable in my own skin.  I’m having a wonderful day being home and as if life is flowing.

I express my joy and passion openly.

I love this card!  It is one of my all time favorite tarot cards as she has such beauty and exuberance.  This card makes me think about picking myself up and doing what needs to be done as I face life head on.

You are playing a dangerous game, you like being the center of attention, you like to dominate, let the contours and dramas of our life soften us.

Oddly enough this was the actual card of the day today.  It’s interesting to me because they are both fire cards and in some ways have very contradictory meanings.  While the five of fire seems to be a warning about playing with fire, this card is about exploring and getting to know fire.

Is this card telling me that I’m finally ready to play with fire and it is time for him to come into my life?  The funny thing is that I’m not even sure that’s what I want in my life anymore.  I’m at a point in my life where I WANT someone in my life, but no longer NEED someone in my life like I did at one point.  I’m fairly strong and confident in who I am all by myself.  I think that’s part of why I am so torn because I love my life in Cleveland.  I loving having independence.  I love being able to do what I want with my house and not having to collaborate with anyone else.  I also don’t want to be with someone who will hold me back.  I’m at a point in my life where I’m not ready to sacrifice my life for someone else’s.

 I was thinking about K. this morning and about how he values and appreciates my journeys.  He sees it as amazing and spiritual and not weird like someone else does.  Someone else sees it as fantasy at best and demonic at worst and I don’t know if that’s what I want in my life.  Having someone who views my gifts that way is just another way that I put myself down and feel less than.

Interesting as when I originally wrote this, I did feel this way intellectually, but there was a part of my heart that still needed to have someone special in my life and I wanted the person that I wanted.  I’ve come a long way in the past year and a half and although I do want someone in my life, I’ve truly become more comfortable in my own skin and I’m realizing the joys of being my own person and not having to answer to anyone.

Interesting that this was not technically the card of the day.  I clicked on Draw a Card in the app instead of Today’s Card and this is what I got.  This card is very apt though as I am playing with fire as I am letting all rhyme and reason go out of my head where a certain someone is concerned.  I could let myself get totally consumed by his flame and that would not be a healthy place for me to be, but there is a part of me that doesn’t care.

I’m still not sure what the meaning of this card is.  I originally thought it was about playing with fire and getting burned, but the fire breather controls the fire without getting burned.  I think this requires some more prayer and meditation.

The five of fire can be an incredible high, but it can also be dangerous as the person breathing fire and /or the audience can get burned.  I think the message for me is to be careful.  I have the tendency to become obsessed and let myself be consumed by people and things.  I’ve been working hard to learn to take a step back and I have to say I’ve been way better about it.
