The Baseball Tarot - MVP of Bats: Accomplishments of Action
Congratulations! You did it!
The Baseball Tarot, another out-of-print tarot deck; I have a lot of them, is really quite marvelous. In this case, the MVP takes the place of the king court card. It's interesting to note that this deck has a mix of age, gender, experience and ethnicity among the cards. So the MVP can be anyone. In this case the MVP is portrayed as a young girl.
She is happy and confident as she holds her trophy in the shape of a bat up, presumably for the cameras. She has been recognized for her accomplishments and skill by her peers. Bats in this case represent the same things that wands do in other decks, fiery action and energy.
To reach the MVP status one has learned to harness this energy and use it effectively! They are an inspirational leader AND an excellent team player. The MVP knows that true success is the result of teamwork. They know that even when they shine it doesn't happen without the contribution of others.
Who inspires you? Do you inspire others to be their best selves? Are you using all your skills? Perhaps it's time to give yourself credit for what you bring to the situation. Now is the time to relish in your accomplishments and also to express gratitude for those who helped you get there. It may be that you are about to receive an award or accolade for work well done. Perhaps you are about to graduate with a degree or be certified in a program that you have worked hard to master.
I think it's also important to look at the confident girl on this card as a reminder that even with obstacles, no one else can really stop you from being your best self and no one else gets to assess your value. People may try to hold you back with their doubts or even with ageist, sexist, racist, ableist or other bigoted comments, but don't listen. You know the strengths, experience, perspectives, enthusiasm and unique talents you possess that ultimately, will make you an MVP in life.
