Readings are about perception

Chaos, Beauty, Absolute: Definitions Oracle by Dr. Michael Anthony

Temperance: Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. Williams

This reading doesn’t ask for order rather they ask for presence.
Chaos feels expansive rather than destructive to me here. Unformed, uncertain, and alive with possibility. Beauty emerges not as a fix, but as a way of seeing: meaning revealed without forcing clarity.
Absolute arrives like a full stop. It reminds me that experience may seem or feel fragmented, yet something deeper remains whole.

I pulled a card from the Desert Illuminations deck, and got Temperance in the form of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It felt like she held mettle. She resists extremes, she mediates opposites, and reminds us that we aren’t required to lose ourselves to uncertainty.

In the Jungian process, there is a concept called “holding the tension of opposites” and the point is NOT to resolve the conflict, but to allow something ELSE to emerge (a third different kind of thing) Alchemy teaches that transformation happens by staying with the tension. Jung called this the TRANSCENDENT FUNCTION, the heart of individuation. It’s the number 3. It’s the uniting of opposites. It’s a great conjunction in alchemy.

But not yet. This part is where you still have to sit with what feels chaotic, find beauty wherever or however you can in that, and have trust that something meaningful is already forming.

Carl Gustav Jung

“The greater the contrast, the greater the potential. Great energy only comes from a correspondingly great tension of opposites.”‍ ‍
