Card of the Week: Temple
When Temple turns up, it can be an acknowledgment of your spiritual evolution; the temple itself can symbolize your spirituality, the spiritual journey you’re on in this lifetime.
Temple offers the message that the situations you’re experiencing are all part of the evolutionary process of your inner self. The choices you make now are important to your personal growth and life lessons.
Temple says this is a wonderful, life-expanding time, and to keep in mind your personal priorities and spiritual connection. Following your highest intentions will move you forward – and your connection to the Divine will have a wonderful influence on all that you experience.
Keeping with the symbolic nature of the temple, it can also represent one’s physical body – your “body temple.” With that in mind, the Master Healer Jesus standing within the temple offers the message to give thought and consideration to your physical well-being. Temple can suggest eating more lightly (or “clean”); drinking more water to keep yourself hydrated; getting some much-needed rest and relaxation; working out or exercising more; or engaging in some other process or activity intended to simplify your life. In this regard, Temple says this is a time of renewal and rejuvenation.
Another possibility is that Temple is turning up to suggest going within to your “inner temple.” With this possibility in mind, the Master Teacher Jesus standing within with light emanating from his head – his crown chakra – can suggest moments of realization and enlightenment by engaging in meditation. Something else to consider would be engaging in inner inquiry (journaling).
Temple can also be turning up today to signal the heightening and/or deepening of your emotional and/or intuitive sensitivities, as Jesus can also be considered a Master Intuitive. With regard to your intuitive development, Temple can suggest paying more attention to how you receive intuitive impressions and guidance. You might realize that you notice physical sensations in your body (clairsentience) or that you “just know that you know” (claircognizance) – signals that you’re “picking up” things on an intuitive level.
Whatever the specifics for you, Temple is asking you to honor your “body’s wisdom” – either externally or internally – perhaps even what’s in the best and highest good for both these “worlds.”
