This morning, I turned to The Lost Tarot of Nostradamus for guidance, using the Alchemist spread – a layout that focuses on transformation and creation. The couplet I received was both poetic and profound, setting the tone for the reading:

“Joy to those humans who renew the promise health, fertility, joy, and a time of honey. Those of the soil will be sustained by it. The spade gives hope to every acre. After disasters, Earth’s population shrink, for a long-time peace presides over uninhabited lands. When the great queen enters the depths, she renders the place powerful and inaccessible.”

This message felt like a call to embrace change, trust intuition, and celebrate the sweetness life has to offer. It reminded me that even after challenges, there is always an opportunity for renewal, peace, and growth.

The Alchemist Spread and the Cards

Here’s what the cards revealed and how they aligned with the couplet’s themes of renewal and transformation:

1. 2 of Moons (Earth – Foundation / Practicality)

This card represents balance, harmony, and intentional choices. It reminded me of the importance of grounding myself and nurturing relationships. The couplet’s phrase “renew the promise” felt especially relevant here – this is a time to focus on what truly matters and build a solid foundation for the future.

2. 9 of Moons (Water – Emotions / Intuition)

A card of emotional fulfillment, gratitude, and joy. It echoes the couplet’s “time of honey”, suggesting that even in the midst of challenges, there is sweetness to be found. This card encouraged me to focus on the abundance already present in my life and trust that more is on the way.

3. 4 of Suns (Fire – Energy / Action)

This card celebrates stability, community, and milestones. It felt like a reflection of the hard work I’ve been putting in – a sign that it’s okay to pause and enjoy the fruits of my labor. The couplet’s imagery of the spade bringing “hope to every acre” resonated here, reminding me that consistent effort pays off.

4. Death (Air – Challenges / Transformation)

Death is the ultimate card of transformation, symbolizing endings that create space for new beginnings. It connected powerfully to the couplet’s mention of “disasters” and the peace that follows. While letting go can be painful, this card reassures us that it’s necessary for growth and renewal.

5. The Papess (Spirit – Higher Guidance)

The Papess represents intuition, hidden knowledge, and sacred truths. She embodies the “great queen” in the couplet, descending into the depths to find power and wisdom. This card encouraged me to trust my inner voice, embrace introspection, and protect what is most valuable to me – even if it means creating boundaries.

Themes of Renewal and Growth

This reading felt like a roadmap for navigating transformation. It reminded me that:

• Balance and gratitude are essential foundations for growth.
• Hard work and dedication will bear fruit.
• Endings are opportunities for new beginnings.
• Intuition is a powerful guide during times of change.

The couplet’s poetic imagery brought these messages to life, tying them to universal cycles of hardship and renewal.
