The Rebel
I did a Tarot reading for myself today, and one of the cards that came up was what my Osho Zen deck calls "The Rebel." For you Tarot fans out there, this card is related to IV -- "The Emperor" -- in the Major Arcana of most decks.
Much of the symbolism of the Rebel is similar to that of the Emperor. It's a card of attainment, leadership, confidence, and creative power in the world. However, unlike the Emperor, the Rebel is not a ruler over others. His power is an internal strength that breaks all chains of social conventions and expectations. He is truly free and truly successful because he understands himself and acts in accordance with his true nature, regardless of outward constraints and circumstances.
This card appeared in the spread in a position that indicated the inner influences on my situation that I'm not currently aware of. As soon as I saw it there, I was quite pleasantly surprised! I've been feeling rather disempowered and uncertain lately due to personal circumstances that seemed completely beyond my control. But this card was a reminder of the inner strength that will grant me success and freedom in life regardless of my circumstances.
I had almost forgotten that I had it in me! And even though I'm facing some very real challenges at the moment, this reading reminded me that I have the strength within me to find success in life. All that I need is to reclaim my confidence and apply it! I'd already started doing that before today, but this reading continued to shift my focus from fear to empowerment.
There's no need to fear -- the Rebel is here! And just in time for the upcoming release of Revolution of One, eh?
