Card of the month

THE TRICKSTER
The Trickster has a lot to do with the sound of the name. Trickster suggests ability and versatility but it also indicates someone not being totally honest about things. The conjuror setting out to deceive with his brilliant skills for the very best of reasons, entertainment and appreciation. Look at the card and you’ll see an extremely confident male figure in a blood red costume full of vitality and feistiness, juggling with the elemental symbols. He wears a yellow mask that signifies acute awareness, adaptability and an eye for opportunity. This is the part of you that is the young conceited male that hasn’t yet done anything but thinks he knows everything. It is the part of you that has a full blooded desire for getting on and doing something – searching for an opportunity to express yourself – even a strong impulse to show off and let the world know how clever you are. This may be because you feel you have been unnoticed for far too long and are not getting the appreciation you deserve and so on. The selection of this card shows that you are not letting this situation get you down in the dumps, quite the reverse in fact you now have got your hackles up and are setting yourself up to be noticed. Whatever you’re planning or putting yourself up to do you haven’t done it before and you aren’t certain how you’ll cope. You KNOW that you can do it – of course you can - you’re selling all the confidence in the world but you don’t REALLY and truthfully know whether you’re going to make it or not. Nothing wrong with confidence but you will have to work hard to get it right. The TRICKSTER in this position indicates that someone has already noticed your potential.
