Since I start my new job today and it is a New Moon, I thought I'd check out my Tarot Card of the Day at Tarot.com to see if it offered any clues for what my day might hold.

My card for today:

Temperance

Temperance from the Golden Tarot

What is traditionally known as the Temperance card is a reference to the Soul. Classically female, she is mixing up a blend of subtle energies for the evolution of the personality. One key to interpreting this card can be found in its title, a play on the process of tempering metals in a forge.

Metals must undergo extremes of temperature, folding and pounding, but the end product is infinitely superior to impure ore mined from the earth. In this image, the soul volunteers the ego for a cleansing and healing experience which may turn the personality inside-out, but which brings out the gold hidden within the heart. (This card is entitled "Art" in the Crowley deck.)

I think this card is appropriate for me right now for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it follows all of the work that I have been doing recently and to know that my soul will be stronger for all of the cleansing and healing it has been subjected to lately is reassuring and happy making. Secondly, I have given lots of thought to the personal growth involved in stepping outside my comfort zone to try something new. This new job may not quite turn my personality "inside-out" but it does represent a newfound willingness on my part to try things that before I wouldn't have considered. Is there gold in my heart that has been hiding? Perhaps we're about to find out.

Wish me luck!
