ON THE PATH OF LIFE
The journey beings, the young Fool walks on,
Taking a risk on a path that is long,
Carefree and innocent, excitement he holds,
Walking blindly ahead, life’s river unfolds.
Progressing onward, the Magickal One,
Confidently skilled, and conjures up fun,
Spiritual power stirs in his Mind,
Directing him to the path he must find.
Learning begins from mysterious source,
Her wisdom and guidance falls on his Course,
The subconscious is born, and visions are seen,
Intuition takes hold, in the form of a dream.
Pleasant surroundings, security filled,
Fruitful fertility, relationships build,
Mother Nature looks down on the ripeness below,
Harvest the crop of the seeds that we sew.
Promotion of life, powerful and bold,
Father Figure rules, responsibly holds,
The worldly knowledge being put to the test
Dominates the throne, and thrives in success.
More learning is sought from Higher Adviser,
Professional advice brought by a guider,
Giving an insight, sensible and profound,
And casts new bright light onto rockier ground.
Relationships bloom, romance in the Air,
Decisions are made for all that is fair,
Heartfilled emotions dance in the night,
Growing with Love, the future shines bright.
The Charioteer’s direction is strong,
Striving ahead for the goal that he longs,
Courageous attempts push obstacles away,
Struggle through storms and clouds that are grey.
Combine all your strength to move to your goal,
Energy Channelled with much self-control,
When obstacles are tough, use inner resource,
Adversities battled with powerful force.
Withdrawing away to contemplate life,
Needing escape from trouble and strife,
When answers seem far, you search for the light,
New direction in life, with a vision in sight.
At midway point, where the wheel spins around,
Answers to questions that Fate has now found,
A turn for the better, or ending the past,
The cycle moves on, bringing good luck at last.
When life seems unfair, Justice is called,
To balance and soothe those feelings appalled,
Weigh up on both sides, let justice prevail,
Searching for reason for those who have failed.
Combine all your strength to move to your goal,
Energy Channelled with much self-control,
When obstacles are tough, use inner resource,
Adversities battled with powerful force.
When Life's upside-down, decisions to make,
With patience to choose the right route to take,
Sacrifice must be made in order to gain,
But may go unnoticed or battled in vain.
A phase of life ending, new one begins,
Accepting a loss and changes it brings,
Abrupt change of Self, with scar on the soul,
Look to the future and the brightness it holds.
Tact is now needed as problems arise,
Situation solved with a compromise,
Adjusting and living in moderation,
Balance and fusion with infinite patience.
Frustration can grow when wanting escape,
From circumstances that you just can’t relate,
A build up of rage, emotions are stressed,
In this situation, dark and depressed.
Tumbling down with a shocking event,
Disaster strikes and is hard to prevent,
Something is learnt, time to re-evaluate,
Changes are brought on by the hand of Fate.
Horizons are widened, time now to rest,
New hopes are now seen and knowledge is blessed,
The Star in the Sky shines on optimism,
And guiding to make the wisest decision.
When the Moon shines ahead, emotions will flow,
Awakens the subconscious, and imagination grows,
Strong dreams may occur, but beware of delusion,
For lack of direction will cause confusion.
The struggle is over as the Sun now shines,
Relationships thrive in happier times,
Contentment is gained and success is now here,
While optimism soon replaces the fear.
Now nearing the end, its time now to judge,
Look back to the past if bearing a grudge,
The time has now come to forgive and forget,
Assessment is made on the last final step.
Reaching the Universe, reaching the end,
Succeeding to obtain the perfect blend,
Triumph is here with greatness of freedom,
At One with the World, and finding the reason.
