It’s 3am in the morning and I can’t sleep. So I thought I might explore the Tarot of Insomnia while I’m in that zone…

I can’t sleep for this reason…

The Sun: It’s too hot

We’re deep into summer here in Melbourne and, oh baby, it’s hot outside (and inside) even in the middle of the night.

Sometimes I can’t sleep because I’m hot for this reason…

Temperance: Menopause

It’s hot flush city from time-to-time. They can be intense enough to wake me up.

Sometimes peeps wake at 3am for this reason…

Temperance Reversed: Adrenal issues

This is very common amongst middle-aged women in particular. Apparently there’s a drink which can help called the Adrenal Cocktail. Google it.

Many peeps can’t sleep for this reason…

Nine of Swords: Unable to stop worrying

Stress is the modern-day disease.

Or maybe for this reason…

Four of Swords Reversed: Unable to get time out

Some of us work waaaaay too much.

Or maybe we’re upset about a failed relationship…

Five of Cups: Emotional loss

Or we’ve lost someone or something precious…

Six of Swords: Grief

Or we’re haunted by nightmares…

The Moon Reversed: PTSD

Do you suffer from insomnia?

Can you think of other reasons why someone might?
