A few people have suggested that I go see a nurtionist in order to maximize gains in health. I exercise regularly and keep pretty fit, but it is frustrating to continue to have a bit of a weight problem. I say "a bit" because it isn't as if I were obese or that I look bad at all, it's that I am concerned that my health will suffer the consquences later in ten years time. Health has always been a big part of my life and it will continue to be.
I looked on-line and my health insurance covers the cost of seeing a nutrionist.
The card that came out in the most important one was XI Justice. This card feels like it is about time that I took this step. Not only this, but it would be beneficial for me to see a specialist about this. The aspect of time is present in this card, also. This card is in the center of the Major Arcane sequence (22 ÷ 2 = 11) in this deck. Justice here is also indicative of my chronological age as I approach middle age.
The second card, the one on the right or the "active principal" of the reading, is what I am doing now or how I feel about going to see a nutrionist. obviously if I am asking the question then I am undecided about doing it. 8 of Swords sums this up rather well. Just by looking at the card one can see that I don't want to see the obvious, to see that I will benefit from going to see this doctor. Now it is a matter of setting this particular goal myself. I am more than able to do it, but whether or not I want to make the time to do it is another story completely. The kitty's hands are more than free to remove the blindfold yet he doesn't do it. This is me refusing to see the the clear message my body is trying to send me, that I need to be more proactive about what I eat, not necessarily the amount of food, which seems to be neglible in how I gain or lose weight, but the quality of food that I eat. There may even be some allergies that I am experiencing, and symptoms that I am ignoring, that the doctor can help me out with.
The "passive principal" on the left, II High Priestess, promises a new outlook in this new area. It could also be the doctor herself. The is a person who is wise beyond her years and may be the much needed executor of advice for me right now. As this card lay on the left, it is something I don't have to do anything about! It is there for the pickens. And I pay into my healthcare account I might as well use what I pay for, right? Get the most out of my investment.
Adding XI Justice and II High Priestess (the two Majors) gives us XIII Death. This is a card that returns again and again in my readings lately, and change is in the air. The absent element is "Fire" (no wands), as XI Justice is Air-Libra, II High Priestess is Earth-Moon and XIII Death is Water-Scorpio. The energy of exercise, whcih this reading is not about and couldn't be expected to be seen here, is carefully balanced (again we have an idea of balance) with the follow-up activity of simply seeing a nutrionist.
