Pick a Card ~ then look, and look again

 



Today we're going to pick a random tarot card and write down our interpretation of it.  Then we're going to leave it set out for the day, and we're going to go back two more times to look at the card and write down our interpretation of it.  The results may surprise you.  Below you'll find the card I drew, as well as three different interpretations that I wrote down on the same day...

Wheel of Fortune...

  • First read

For quite some time now, someone has been riding out a set of circumstances in their life that they just can't find an answer to, can't find a successful closure for.  They just don't know how to stop this wild tumultuous emotional ride that they're on.  The results of this conundrum may be many... if they can't find closure for something, they can't begin something new; if they can't find a way to stop a repetive negative set of circumstances, it may negatively impact their work, their romantic dreams, their familial relationships, as well as their mental and physical health.  They need to take a leap of faith and jump off this horrendous mental ferris wheel.  You never know, where they wind up may be way better than where they are now.  

  • Second read

Someone is trying very hard to ignore gossipy, nasty, jealous, libelous information being passed on to them by an individual (perhaps more than one individual) about someone in their common circle of friends.  They must know that this disagreeable and destructive feedback they are getting is not true, and is obviously laced with the desire to cause drama and conflict.  Meanwhile, the target of this vociferous dastardly exchange is completely oblivious to it, and this victim may also be unwittingly interacting with the gossip, unaware that they may be giving them more ammunition, albeit completely innocent information.  So, speaking to the someone who's receiving this gossip and garbage, why is this individual(s) still sitting within your circle of friends?

  • Third read
Someone is trying to find information on an individual, and they have help, a lot of help actually.  They are trying desperately to find someone with whom they have something important to say, maybe something important to pass on, and they are going to great lengths to find this person.  This seems to be a time sensitive matter, and time may be running out.  There is the feeling that this is very important and life changing, that this may be something legal, or something life saving, or life enhancing to whomever they are seeking.

Daily Cards/Daily Wisdom ~ Two-Faced

 



Strength; 3/cups; Page/wands

The first card, Strength, generally a very positive card dripping with affirmative powerful in-your-face determination and energy, is actually telling me something else for this reading.  It's telling me that there is someone within your circle who is feigning weakness, helplessness, or indecision.  The innocent "I'm not strong enough to do anything on my own, especially something nasty" is the persona they are displaying to you.  They are very cunning, actually, because as you're picking up this poor-little-me vibe from this individual, you are also letting your guard down at the same time.

Like a lamb to slaughter.

The second card, the three of cups, another card that traditionally emits celebratory energy, is giving us a different message here.  There appears to be a whole troupe of people, your friends or family, who see what's happening and are either ignoring the situation, or you are ignoring their warnings.  Whatever the case, they are not going to waste their time on this situation.  So off they go, life as usual, leaving you to your own devices and Strength's mercy, or lack there-of.

A lesson must be learned here through personal experience.

Finally, the third card, the Page of Wands reversed, is a lesson in miscommunication, possibly deception -- lies, or something even more dire.  The scenario playing out here is one of a sudden realization on your part and possibly a cry for help, which will go unheard as-of-now, because you have long since brushed off warnings from friends and family.  The two-faced individual, represented by Strength, may finally have you right where they want you, and your realization comes way too late.

This may be the  universe teaching you a harsh lesson.  You got yourself into this mess with your naivete and your infatuation, now it's up to you to get yourself out of it.

Daily Cards/Daily Wisdom

 


King/swords; 6/swords; The Lovers

Well, this is certainly one of the clearest set of cards I've seen in a long time.  The very short, micro-story, here is that this belligerent know-all king is going to be moving on to a new relationship.

Now, we'll take a closer look...


The King himself... (5/pentacles; Queen/swords; Page/swords)

This king is running a little low on money, he's not doing so well financially, so running away and starting over may prove to be quite a challenge because of this.  However, with this in mind, he might have found himself a new partner, or potential partner, that is as belligerent and arrogant as he is.  Somehow, he is not taking into consideration that this might be a problem in the future, when these two personalities actually have to coexist with each other.  In the end, it will be a "war of words" with this situation, because both the King and Queen of swords use their tongues as a weapon.

The Actual Act of leaving... (ace/swords; 7/cups; ace/wands)

This king has taken the act of leaving a relationship to an art form.  This is something that's been given a lot of thought.  As a matter-of-fact, almost as soon as he was hooked up in the present relationship, he's already been contemplating his escape.  After all, obsession, passion, and interest dies pretty quickly for this king.  He's got the concentration and focus of a gnat.  This king is the one that is never happy where he's at, because he's always looking ahead to something he thinks is better.  

The new couple... (9/swords; 6/cups; 8/pentacles)

The new couple really aren't giving any thought to the repercussions of their hookup, not in the slightest.  This king and queen don't care how it affects other people, because they're both pretty selfish and are thinking of themselves first.  This might seem like an easy transition to the king, since this appears to be someone from his past, someone he already knows.  He feels that he already has a leg up on manipulating this new queen, as he thinks he knows what makes her tick.  But alas, there's been a lot of water under the bridge, so to speak, since he was with her last, and she is going to be a very different person than he remembers.  He will also find himself scurrying to get a job and start bringing in cash for this new queen, because she expects it, and she's going to be tapping her foot, impatiently waiting to hear the "ka-ching" coins being added to her surprisingly empty purse.

Daily Cards/Daily Wisdom

 




So how about this, I pick up a tarot deck that's always displayed on one of my witchy shelves, it's a small version of Hanson/Roberts, and I begin to do my awkward very personal little shuffle while standing there in the living room, and I'm saying to myself: "Spirit, tell me what I need to know.  Show me what I must see."  And out flies four cards that hit the floor, all in a single pile.

I pick them up, and this is what I find:



6/cups (reversed); 9/swords; Page/wands; 10/swords


The short story:

The first card, the card of nostalgia, tells us that someone from the past has come forward, and because this card is reversed there may be complications with this new old arrival from the past.  This person may prove to be problematic.  This renewed connection is going to cause a lot of anxiety and emotional ups and downs.  I'd call it a mental turmoil on a variety of levels.  The page tells us that there is communication with this person-from-the-past and someone in the here and now, a lot of back and forth banter, actually.  And the last card, the result of it all, is that someone is going to suffer the pain of betrayal and feel as though they were stabbed in the back.

And there you have it.  The short version of an old/new story.  The really odd thing is that this applies to me in such a huge no-denying in-your-face way that it's actually spooky.  

But at least I know what's up.

Daily Cards/Daily Wisdom

 



King/pentacles; The Sun (R); 7/cups (R); The Emperor

At first glance, where are these cards taking us?

  • there's a man who usually maintains a controlled and well-balanced life
  • he's come to a point where an important decision needs to be made
  • the situation that he's in and that has brought him to this point makes him unhappy
  • he wants to regain control and personal power

Is there a theme or point here that takes priority?

  • the decision marks a pivotal point in his journey
  • the right decision will give him back his life as he knew it

Now draw a series of cards as many as you need, to tell the story...

My Cards:

3/pentacles; The Devil; Ace/cups (R); Knight/wands; 7/pentacles; The Magician (R)

There's the real sense of a loss of personal power and direction brought home once more with The Devil and the reversed Ace.  Because of rash actions, and probably unwise choices, a relationship that was once flourishing is now floundering, and its future is dependent upon a very important decision... which in reality comes down to someone's "choice".

Power lost will be restored once someone realizes that the key here is not only logical decisions but healthy choices, and choices made for the right reasons.  There was action taken quickly, way too quickly, without a lot of thought.  Hindsight being what it is, someone knows they acted too rashly without thinking through the final consequences, and they regret it now.

You can fix this with the right decision.

Daily Cards/Daily Wisdom

 



4/cups (R); 9/pentacles; 3/swords (R); 4/wands

What are the principles of this unfolding story?

  • something is FINALLY going to be addressed/resolved
  • contentment restored after a heartbreaking confrontation/ultimatum
  • a reason to celebrate is going to be restored

What is the strongest point touched on here?

  • someone has gotten the courage to face something unpleasant
  • a relationship issue has been resolved
  • there has been a decision to move forward with plans

Now draw a series of cards, as many as you need to tell the story...

My Cards:

Page/swords; Knight/pentacles; The Moon (R); Justice; Queen/cups; 5/swords (R)

There had to be a verbal confrontation, and during this process someone had to be strong enough to point out inconsistencies and openly confront a liar; or a liar had to be strong enough to know when to acknowledge their lies and ask for forgiveness -- or both.  It looks like there might have been a small penance to pay if this were the case, because the emotional fallout for the victim to these untruths was traumatic, and there needs to be a bit of vengeance... er, justice.  With that said, the battle that was fought brought an end to the war.

Daily Cards/Daily Wisdom

 



King/pentacles; 5/swords (R); Death (R); 7/wands

What are some of the story themes coming through here?

  • an individual who is used to having respect and being in control
  • a disagreement with a questionable outcome
  • a huge change or transformation that is suppose to happen but hasn't happened yet
  • someone who needs to guard their boundaries

What looks like the most important issue(s) here to focus on?

  • a confrontation between this king & another individual
  • some major transition that is supposed to take place, but for some reason, it hasn't 

Now draw a series of cards, as many as you need, to tell the story...

My Cards:

Page/pentacles (R); 3/swords; 4/cups

The issue this King is having involves an individual several years younger than him, and they do have a common shared connection, either parent/child or they are siblings.  There has been a feeling of competition between them for an extended period of time.  There has also been a period of estrangement with no contact.  The emotions emitting from both individuals are stubbornness and jealousy.

Justice; 7/swords; Wheel of Fortune

What is the crux of this situation?... a legal matter

  • someone has been deceptive
  • someone has tried to claim or take something, or a portion of something, they are not entitled to

This issue, which has been brewing for a substantial period of time, will finally find resolution.

Daily Cards/Daily Wisdom

 



Queen/pentacles; King/Swords; Ace/wands; King/wands

What links these three personalities?

  • One is down-to-earth; stable; dependable
  • One is self-absorbed; opinionated; stubborn
  • One is fixated on small details; obsessed with control; narrow-minded

The answer lay hidden in the Ace...

  • Where new beginnings are planted
  • Where passion and enthusiasm reside
  • Where all future possibilities lay

Now, what links these three personalities?  Draw three cards to find your answer.

My Cards:

Queen/cups; Princess/pentacles; The Magician...  

What links these personalities is the power of emotions attached to passionate ideals and desires.  What links these personalities is an attachment rooted deep in someone's past and reunited now with new possibilities and unimagined adventures.  What links these personalities is a power struggle at play, a power struggle with consequences that may be life altering.

Daily Cards/Daily Wisdom

 


Ace of Cups(R); Knight/pentacles; two/pentacles

There's the beginning of a new relationship for you, but it's not exactly what you were expecting.  Either it came from a shockingly unexpected source (which is not a bad thing), or it came at an inopportune time for you, or you are processing the possibilities that this new adventure brings to your life and all the emotional experiences that come with it, and you are unsure about your feelings (if this is the case, this is a red flag).

The new paramour on the scene, or the new possible paramour on the scene, seems to be quiet and patient, appears stable and sound and relatively "normal" (whatever this broad and undetermined word means).  The thing is, as patient and kind as this new romantic interest might seem, you can't expect him to stay on bended knee in a state of limbo forever, and he won't.  You could say that this is a time sensitive issue and decision, and that would be fair.

So, ask yourself... 

  • How would this person fit into my life? 
  • What do we have in common? 
  • What would we have to compromise on? 
  • What are the pros?  What are the cons?... and can I live happily with both?
