This card is not my conscious favorite but it never fails to cheer me up. ( I guess all Tarot peeps feel the same). Lately, it's the child on the horse that captures my attention more than the mighty bright sun. I love how he's not even holding onto the animal. I love how open and carefree he looks with his body. Calling me perhaps to channel the energy, optimism and jolliness of a youngster. Times have been rough for me, too. But when I am in this energy state, it is so easy. I become, for lack of a better word, guilty and ashamed that I can choose a world in this vast quantum field where almost anything is silly and I'm supposed to dance and laugh hard and make fun goals just for the heck of it. I loosen my grip to this reality before an imagined but internalized, future doom happens because I was not my "mature", "reliable" self.
It's interesting how during the course of my own, unmentored shadow work, this child in me has gradually come out as one of my stronger fragments. At least now, I am not impulsively running from it. That's a big relief! I offer it my meditations and amusement with this Major Arcana card.
