Monthly read - July

Recently I'm working with Tarot de Marseille again, so I used it also for my monthly read. It's a Jodorowsky&Camoin deck.

My first experience with TdM was difficult - I couldn't find my way of reading it, didn't actually "hear" what it was saying. Recently however, after a long break, when I started all over again, something changed and I feel more from the cards. Also  I seem to need less cards to get a message. For example, for my monthly reads I used to pull three cards for every topic. When I pulled from TdM, one card was enough to tell me something (in this month's case, only the "family" part needed more explanation).
So...



Atmosphere of the month, important matters: XVI The Tower (again!)
Health: Knight of Coins
Family: 4 of Wands, 7 of Wands, 7 of Coins
Hobby: 2 of Wands
Friends: 4 of Coins

The Tower from TdM is different than from RWS style decks. It shows me some sort of liberation, being relieved. I'm under a lot of stress now and that may change in July, because I'm visiting my family and staying with them for a longer period.
My health will also improve (Knight/Coins).
My family will be supportive, but some frictions are also possible.
Hobby: is see knitting needles here!
My friends will be visiting me, they will surround me like the coins surround the rectangle in the center.

What's blocking my health - CC

For some time I've had numerous small problems with my health, seemingly not connected to one another, but in my opinion they must have the same root. Of course, I'm working very hard recently, so it's normal I'm having problems, but there are simply too many not to be suspicious. I wanted to search for a reason and made the Celtic Cross spread.




1. The situation - Knight of Wands.
2. What's blocking - 2 of Wands.
3. What's in my mind - 7 of Swords.
4. What's in my heart - Page of Cups.
5. Recent reason for the situation - VIII Justice.
6. Near future - Page of Swords.
7. My attitude towards the problem - Knight of Swords.
8. Influence of the environment - 9 of Cups.
9. My fears and hopes - Page of Pentacles.
10. Further future, result - 7 of Cups.

First of all, I was surprised, that a HALF of the cards were court cards! Not in the "environment" place, though.
Interpretation: I have to work hard, like "pulling the chariot of the Knight of Wands. The situation is very demanding, but I'm still not quite there, I don't feel prepared enough (2/Wands). In my mind I have many dark, depressive thoughts, slithering like snakes in my head (7/Swords). In my heart I'm still only a Page, not mature enough for the new situation (Page/Cups), I miss some of my freedom.
The cause of my situation: I was thrown out of balance (VIII Justice) by some revolutionary events. In near future I will be still asking questions (Page/Swords).
My attitude towards the problem: I want to cut it off as soon as possible (Knight/Swords). My environment is supporting me (9/Cups). My fears are that of an adolescent one (Page/Pentacles). In the end I'll find some emotional wisdom (Sphinx as a symbol of knowledge on 7/Cups).

By the way, I think Jolanda Tarot is an incredible deck, but looks really ugly with these purple frames. I can't trim it though, because I don't know the imagery by heart and it's far from being "classical".
