Episode #36 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy, choices-decisions-results

 

7/cups; The Star; The Chariot

I haven't done this for a while, I've been busy with a new line of video projects, and quite frankly, I was beginning to feel that I may be picking up too much of my own energy too often with the cards.  But on reflection, I thought, so what, I'm also benefiting by the intuitive messages as well as you are.  This is a good thing, and perhaps we ask more from readers than we realize, or readers expect more of themselves than is realistic.

At first breathless glance of these three cards, I can see a microscopic beginning for a much longer tale:

 

1.  Someone is faced with decisions, and they may be overwhelmed with the decisions they face.  They may also be procrastinating in making a decision.

2.  Somone is trying to do two things at once, or they're trying to divide their time and energy between two very different things at once; whether this be relationships, jobs, personal interests, reaching goals, whatever.  

3.  Someone is contemplating which direction to go, which path to take, which way to turn.  Amongst this dilemma of consideration, they may also be thinking about actually physcially moving, traveling, or moving on figuatively from something to something else.

How am I doing so far?

7/swords; 2/wands; 4/swords

1.  Someone might be trying to take off with a portion of something that is not their's, or a figurative something they do not deserve, like credit, praise, admiration; while at the same time keeping watch behind them lest their thievery or inflated ego is discovered.  

2.  Someone is waiting patiently for a choice to be made, or they are hesitating in making an important choice themselves.  They are weighing all options in a state of calm and matter-of-fact observation and patience, with poker-faced negotiation tactics.  If this is you, good for you!  If this is someone you are in business or financial negotiations or conflict with... oops.

3.  Someone may be contemplating coming out of retirement; activating something they have temporarily deactivated; picking up where they left off; placing themselves in a more solitary position; choosing to ignore a situation, an individual, or the outcome of a choice.

Do you see a pattern here?

Final card:  3/swords

Whether  anyone considers themselves "coming out on top", or "winning", they should take a deeper look at the results they finally achieve, where their choice finally takes them.  There is the old adage "be careful what you wish for", and it might just apply here.  You may get what it is you want, but there will be repercussions that were unforseen, fallout that may not be avoided, possibly some regret, and perhaps a wee bit of remorse thrown in for good measure.

It would seem then that this reading is a warning.  Heed it at your own risk, weigh carefully what you are willing to sacrifice, either materially, or figuratively.

Please remember, these are general readings done with no one particular individual in mind.  This reading may resonate with a wide variety of people in various phases of life and under uniquely personal circumstances.

I also wanted to note that I no longer give personal readings for individuals, and that all of these general readings, both at The Mystic Crone and at Phoenix Rising, are FREE readings, written and recorded on a whim when the urge strikes me.

If you enjoy these readings and videos, I would appreciate it if you would "like" and "subscribe" at YouTube.  I have to say that it's kind of nice to get some sort of feedback for the effort I put into creating them.  It lets me know I'm doing a good job!

Episode #34 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy, manic enthusiasm

 

Ace/cups; King/pentacles (R); 6/pentacles (R)

There appears to be a gentleman head over heels in love (or so he thinks), a gentleman who is not normally swept off his feet so easily (and yes, men can be swept off their feet).  The thing is, the cup being offered is already overflowing, overflowing with old opportunities, past lovers, it's overflowing with unbridled and manic enthusiasm, as well as an abundance of emotional turmoil and years of baggage.  

It's a pretty messy cup, if you ask me.

And you, usually a pretty grounded and intelligent individual, are so besotted that you do not see the red flags, though they are flying flagrantly in your face.  The thing is, this lustful and empowering attraction (and no, it's not love, no matter what you may think), it's going to cost you, it is.  Your coffers will suffer a serious blow, and not necessarily  because the focus of your lust is wringing you dry, but because your own manic enthusiasm for this brand spankin' shiny new individual is going to make you want to impress her; it's going to make you want to show off; to buy expensive gifts, and to present with extravagant activities.

This is not a good thing; because remember (or re-read the first paragraph of this reading, if it's already slipped your mind), as this individual stands in the glowing accolades of your enthusiastic pursuit, this individual will already be targeting the next love interest.  They will already be looking ahead to the future and all the possiblities that they think they see.  

You have, my poor dear King, been run over by an opportunist, a hopeless and unrealistic romanticist, and someone probably manic-depressive or bi-polar.

Run.

Please remember, these are general readings done with no one particular individual in mind.  This reading may resonate with a wide variety of people in various phases of life and under uniquely personal circumstances.

I also wanted to note that I no longer give personal readings for individuals, and that all of these general readings, both at The Mystic Crone and at Phoenix Rising, are FREE readings, written and recorded on a whim when the urge strikes me.

Episode #30 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy, different choices

 

Episode #29 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy, some people never learn

 

King/swords; Queen/pentacles/; 9/cups (R)

Well there's a lot going on here, and it's dripping with innuendo.  Intriguing.  First, this King is so close to getting his wish he can probably smell it.  However, hold that thought, wait just one minute.  There's actually something standing between this King and his desired wish, and that's a woman, his woman, or a woman that's part of his daily life.  It must be very frustrating for him, and he must be having quite a time maintaining a cool exterior, because this Queen is just not going to move, or at least she's not going to move willingly.  She may be oblivious to this situation, and then again, she might know exactly what she's doing.

We need some more cards for this, it's just too intriguing not to go further.

6/cups; Knight/wands; Temperance

Whatever this King's wish is, it's connected to his past, or a particular person or set of circumstances from his past, and this connection was filled with some mind-blowing passion and frenzied activity, and a little bit of mania and impulsiveness.  This was also something that this King was just absolutely sure was his dream, or his soul mate, or his idea of perfection, or his greatest ever desire -- greatest ever.

More cards coming up...

2/pentacles (R); 5/wands; 10/swords

The particular "thing" from this King's past that he was so enthusiastic about tripped him up, took his world by storm, and upended many aspects of his life, including a lot of what he had been working towards.  This parricular "thing" from this King's past that he thinks he desires once again led to an enormous amount of chaos and arguements and separations from various relationships, and people taking sides, and everything being messed up and so many people's lives in a turmoil -- yes, so many people, not just this King.

In the end, he shot himself in the foot.  He shot himself in the foot with impulsivines, short-sightedness, and immaturity.  He shot himself in the foot with a narrow view of reality; he shot himself in the foot with an almost narcissistic focus on himself and what he wanted.

And the thing is, in spite of everthing, he once more desires this "thing" from his past, and he will once more create the same kind of chaos with the same miserable and predictable outcome.

Some people never learn.

Episode #20 ~ Pick a Card, then look, and look again

 

Today we're going to continue doing multiple readings with a single card...

5/pentacles...

• First read

Someone has tried so hard to break down barriers to be accepted into a social group, or a community organization.  Why?  Why are you doing this to yourself?  In your stubborn effort to gain the acceptance and approval of a group of people, or an organization, who doesn't seem to approve of the "real you", you have not only demeaned yourself, you have negatively affected your self-confidence, your mental and physcial health, and your general overall well-being.  You may have also inadvertantly been neglecting other people and responsiblities in your life, losing your sense of focus and priorities.  Stop.  Just please stop.  Take a good look at yourself and the direction this has all taken you -- do you really want to be where you are now?

• Second read

Someone is trying so hard to keep up with, or to hang onto, someone who is dragging them down; dragging them down financially in such a way as to diminish and ruin their life on so many levels.  Why?  What sort of spell did this person cast on you to create such tunnel vision?  Do they lie to you about money and finances?  Do they take from you what doesn't belong to them?  Do they give terrible advice and encourage you to make bad financial decisions?  You know better.  This individual you think you can't live without is actually one of the most destructive people you couldn've chosen to hook up with.  And the really sad fact is that this individual doesn't care about the damage they're doing to you -- either financially, morally, mentally, or physcially.  They are toxic.  Disengage.

Episode #19 ~ 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.

Episode #10 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy

 

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?

Episode #5 General Reading

 

Episode #5 The couple going through this relationship crisis is going to have to break the stalemate. It's the only way to bring a successful and satisfactory conclusion to the story, and for gawds sake, it will bring some peace to the extended family, because everyone is feeling the brunt of this. *Also, I tend to go off on a side note in this episode all about Handfasting, and my opinion on the topic versus a legal marriage, just saying.

Episode #1 General Reading

 

Episode #3 Who will benefit if you fail? So, who will benefit? Apparently there is someone who would prefer that you do not come to a resolution for this issue.
