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.

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 #33 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy, narcissistic implosion

 

10/wands (R); Knight/pentacles; The Moon (R)

The trouble with a lie is that maintaining it can get progressively more and more difficult as time goes by, and it can also become more and more impossible to hide the truth, which is naturally screaming to be seen, to be heard, to be acknowledged.  Maintaining lies can become a burden, at least to most normal people.

And here, it looks as though someone is going to have the opportunity of getting out from under this most unpleasant burden; because the truth is going to be revealed, and the revelation will unleash a flurry of emotions, activity, and repercussions.

Page/swords (R); 2/cups (R); The Emperor (R)

The revelations of someone's truth is going to completely invert, turn topsy-turvey, the connection of a couple.  Their reality may be quite altered, at least initially, and I do believe that each of the individuals within this couple will have a totally different perspective of the reality of it all.

On one side, there will be the cutting edge sword of stinging betrayal, of suspicion that has been nurtured and coddled for quite some time, and with this individual there will be the overpowering instinct for justice, and retribution, and a certain finality that is positively fatalistic.

On the other hand, there will be the weak cry of justification, of entitlement, and with it the eerie iridescent green glow of gaslighting and psychological manipulation and maneuvering.  There will also be lacking a true and integral understanding of the ramifications of it all, a compete lack of empathy of the feelings that have been roused and bruised and belittled.  

Strength (R); The Lovers; Page/pentacles

At the end of it all, the couple will only once more stand together, but not united, facing each other in a strange new surreal light.  All of the lies, the facade, will be stripped away, and they will be left to look at each other -- really look -- with everything exposed:  all the unpleasant and oozing old wounds from past hurts; all of the ulterior motives, those fevered pus-filled blemishes that were so carefully kept concealed.  It will not be a pretty sight, but at least it will all be an honest view.

On one side, will be someone tired, utterly exhausted, by their journey through this odd and destructive connection.  They have used all of their energy up trying to keep this world and themselves together in this moment with this person.  They won't realize, not at first, that their strength is actually limitless, and that they will eventually regain their equilibrium and their sanity, and be quite surprised at the new-found purpose and direction their new life will take, engulfed in enthusiasm and expectation.

On the other side, is some form of strange and unrealistic expectations with a skewered eternal oblivious hopefulness.  This mental condition may stem from the fact that they have turned away from the remnants of an unsuccessful coupling, ready and willing and excited to move onto the next alternative, the next possibility, the next diamond in the rough... and they think, perhaps the next one will be more moldable, more compliant, more successful.  

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.

Episode #17 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy

 

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.

Episode #15 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy

 

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.

Episode #14 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy

 

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.

Episode #13 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy

 

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.

Episode #12 General Reading

 

Episode #12 You're wondering, "How the hell did I get in this situation?", and it is a rather dark place to be right now. But the cards tell us that you have the means to create a happy ending. Watch this video for a broader perspective, suggestions, and possibilities.

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 #6 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy

 

6/pentacles (R); 3/wands (R); 5/pentacles (R)

Our issue today is finances and all about juggling money, waiting for a financial deal to come in, and then facing great disappointment over a financial loss.  So what's going on here?  What is this scenario all about?  Let's take a closer look, card by card:

6/pentacles:

It appears that at one point, when you had money, it was passing, or changing hands, back and forth, back and forth.  And there appears to have come a point where someone dropped the ball.  For some of you this could mean outrageous mismanagement of finances through a poor business manager, poor personal decisions, or a partner that you shouldn't have trusted -- either a business partner, or a relationship partner, because sometimes this is one and the same, and that's the feeling here, two closely related individuals.

3/wands:

Well, what were you waiting for? -- positive results that were promised or expected?  a windfall?  a promised opportunity or contract?  Whatever it was, this ship has sailed.  This is never going to happen.  This card feels very much like someone who was deliberately duped in a financial venture.  The one thing this card indicates in its reversed position is that you need to stop standing still waiting for something that will never arrive, and you need to start moving and take action, hopefully to recover some of what you lost.

5/pentacles:

This card is going to point out a harsh truth, and that is that you have landed in a dismal financial situation, and it's not going to be pretty or fun, and there is not going to be any immediate instant fix.  But this card leaves us with a healthy dose of reality and the truth -- something that you have not experienced for quite a while.  It's time to pay the piper, put on your big girl/boy panties, roll up your sleeves and go to work to put your finances (and your life) back on track.

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 #3 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.

Episode #2 General Reading

 

Episode #2 The truth will set you free... this is the most important message coming out of this reading.
