Asking the Pages of Shustah cards

I wanted to ask a question about the success of a pending business trip. I consulted the Tarot cards and was not completely satisfied with the reading.  I was looking for a specific answer to this question and found the Tarot didn’t sit right with me.

When this happens it is a good idea to use another deck if you have one.  Certain decks are for certain questions.  Doing a full board Lenormand would have been much too many cards even for this question. There is no doubt in my mind the Lenormand deck would have given me enough information surrounding the answer.

What I was looking for was a straight answer of specific energies which are at play currently.  I was drawn to the Pages of Shustah and below are the 3 cards I selected.  Notice how they are all BLUE. (serenity, lack of monumental growth, calculated progress)

->Blue 5. The Diamond ->Blue 3. The Fishes ->Blue 12. The Divine Horse

At first, when I saw the last card I thought it was the pale horse and I was disappointed despite the other positive cards.  When I realized it was the Divine Horse my mind was at ease.  This question is not so much as to the success of a business trip but whether or not it will be “safe” without unforeseen tragedies.

The intensity of the brilliant shine from the Diamond amplifies the meaning of the Fishes- a small wish granted.  These 2 cards speak of minor successes but really good ones.

I feel the Divine horse has answered my real question of safety and I see this card as a spiritual guardian which protects one from harm.  I couldn’t have asked for a better card.

UPDATE NOV 29/08- The trip in question which was off the coast of Africa was successful and safe.  The Divine Horse was a true blessing. I don’t have all the details yet and I am looking forward to hearing about the rich opportunities indicated by the Diamond + Fishes cards.

In the Tarot, the outcome card was the 4 of swords which triggered some worry in me.  In relation to the question, it pointed to a mediocre success which would come slowly.  As far as safety, it does have some protective aspects since the knight (in most decks) is adorned in armor.  Armor shields and protects.  If you notice on the image to the left of the card the stained glass window, there is the message of faith and hope within.

I see a correlation between the Divine Horse and the 4 of swords the more I meditate on the cards.  Initially, my knee jerk reaction to the sword card was apprehensive.  I think this is mainly due to past experiences with this card.  It was a good idea to select the Pages of Shustah so I could compare the energies after I went through the interpretative process.  One does not always see the symbolism when in a hurry for an answer.

Shustah speaks

 

                      Unicorn     Strange Page     Lord of Contemplation

Question:  Should female X go on the road trip she is asking about today?

Using the 3 card layout of situation, influence in progress and advice I will demonstrate possible interpretations for female X’s question.

SITUATION

Green 3- Unicorn.  The question (situation) is not confirmed yet.  There are no definite plans made at this point.  It is just an idea.  There is energy put into the thoughts of travel.  This card does not clearly depict a road trip but it does suggest movement towards a destination.

INFLUENCE in PROGRESS

Yellow 11 – Strange page.  This spot talks about the planning stage of any question asked.  Is the influence of the second card conducive to receiving some advice that will help in the decision making process?   Since this card is yellow it promises a relatively good influence.  I have seen the Strange page to mean a sudden change in plans.  Manser states the Egoic response is “Unexpected company”.  This can mean that female X will have someone else going with her on the road trip that she did not anticipate.

In this example, the answer lies in the last card mainly because this is what was established before the laying of the cards.  The Pages of Shustah© will advice female X whether she should go on this road trip.

ADVICE

Green 14 – Lord of Contemplation.  Here we have a card of indecision.  The answer is not evident.  The Lord is advising female X to  think about whether she really wants to go on this road trip and what she hopes to gain.

The feeling I get from this last card is that there is an uncertainty in the general idea of travel today.  When this conclusion is merged with the first card, the Unicorn it clearly points to a spur of the moment desire. 

The colors are favorable for the trip to manifest.  The advice card is suggesting that female X look at her resources as well.  Can she afford the road trip?  The cards do not depict financial loss, however, things could get out of hand due to the “unexpected” nature of the Strange page.  Overall, the road trip would be successful.

Black 3, Green 1, Red 1

I wanted to share this reading because of the astonishing accuracy of the Shustah(c) deck.

My daughter wanted me to ask the Pages of Shustah a question early this morning. She has grown fond of these cards because for her they have hit the mark in past questions.

At first I was alarmed at the trio she drew. I did not know the nature of her question because she kept it to herself and told me she would tell me after I provide her with the guidance of these 3 particular cards. I did know she was to travel to another city (part of her new job responsibility) which was a good 1 1/2 hours drive.

Initially, looking at the cards I had the feeling that whatever was on her mind would not work out on a positive note unless of course what she wanted or was hoping for was a termination or ending of some kind.

More detailed information by Kapherus Art of Cartomancy blog –>Green 1 Candle & Red 1 Death
and Rev. Foor’s Daily Shustah blog –>Black Gemini. & Here.

Gemini represents all things pertaining to the 3rd Astrological house. . Communication house. Your mind. How you retain information. The neighborhood & your environment. Your siblings, brother and/or sister. Transportation, short trips. Electrical equipment. News and information. Paperwork.
The candle is green energy suggesting progress or movement. It represents a developing situation but it does not reveal the result or outcome unless you factor the adjoining cards as well. You are suppose to meditate on the flame to see if it rises or is extinguished. I saw no change, this time.
The death angel is red energy suggesting a death or completion of a situation. When I see this card I see a “period” at the end of a sentence.

My answer to my young daughter was that her trip will probably be unproductive, as in no major sales. That is precisely what was on her mind because she is into sales and it wasn’t that hard to figure out.

As it turned out the cards were wrong on the sales question. She did in fact score some good ones.

In the meantime, a close neighborhood friend phoned her while she was still out of town and told my daughter her mother died and she would have to leave for San Francisco right after supper today. The neighbor asked if she would look after the mail and feed the cat for her until she got back.

The Shustah cards were accurate regarding the news my daughter received about a death even though she had work on her mind. Sometimes cards tell you what it is you are suppose to know. Looking over the cards again, the death involving the neighbor was plain as day. Another strange thing is the cat’s birthday is the first part of June, a Gemini.
