Basic Analysis Context
I’m going to try something new for today’s context section. My notebook has a couple of dot points, and that’s all I’m going to have time for at the moment is basic analysis. For those of you unaware, the purpose of the website’s first year was about tracking the daily cards. What I didn’t realise is that I’d want to write about my day so much.
Since I’m behind in writing and there are no days off and no one else assisting with writing, posting or developing the website. There are times when I need to take a break. It’s been a constant struggle trying to maintain the work-life balance. One of my faults is my enthusiasm for giving myself little projects—more on the projects another day.
The notes say:
- It’s a good day for completing tasks at work and home
- Why does completing tasks come in waves? Hmm, I begin a multitude of tasks and chip away at them until they’re all finished.
Hey! I got a moment to investigate, and voila! And there’s an email link
Today's Cards
The Cards - Basic Analysis
Carryover Cards
No cards carried over from yesterday.
Cross
Okay, let’s start with the basic analysis! The Creator is in the Now position influenced by Understanding. My aim or Goal today was focused on Clinging to the Past. The Goal forms before the Now, but the card dealt first is the Now card because of its immediacy. My day began Clinging to the Past, but I became The Creator when an Understanding dawned on me that some projects were ready to be finalised.
The finalisation of the projects came as a surprise because I had broken my self-inflicted Conditioning in the Distant Past – yes, you can do it to yourself – not so long ago, Day 165, I embraced a new way of doing things.
When two projects went on hold in the Recent Past, it was an unexpected advantage, which meant the rush was Slowing Down. Slowing Down enabled me to dedicate time to promoting the completion of other projects. And what a pleasant surprise it was!
By Slowing Down and completing some activities, I was able to breathe and become The Creator, get an Understanding and take an opportunity for Turning In (Future Energy).
Base
The base for a Celtic Cross’ basic analysis is the last four cards dealt in a ten-card deal. Position seven here reflects the Feelings toward the card in the Now position; in some other readings, it is the Immediate Future.
My Feelings toward The Creator is I am one with Existence; getting back time can make me feel humble.
Others’ Views are that I am simply moving from Moment to Moment. Unhurried.
Hopes & Fears are on the inside, and I hope for Healing. My fear is the time I’ve gained is not enough.
Finally, the Outcome has Integration. Integration suggests a fusion between Turning In and the new time I’ve gained or maybe developing a way to keep the time available. It gave me a moment to think about why completion activities in my life come in simultaneously.
That’s it for the basic analysis today.
