Episode #44 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy, play the wild card or play it safe?

 

Wheel of Fortune; 4/cups (reversed); King/wands...

You've been thinking a lot about your life lately and how and why everything turns out as it has.  So, was it all just luck?  Was it your incredible choices -- some good and some not so much?  Fate?  Destiny?  The bad thing about you scrutinizing your life under a microscope right now is that you have wound up comparing your life to everybody else's.  This is never a good thing, and this is what they tell you not to do with social media, but there you go.  Don't feel bad, most of us have done it.

This "pause for thought" moment that you're having right now is due to the fact that you have an important choice to make, but you are lacking the self-confidence to do so.  This probably stems from the fact that you're doing that looking back at life thing, and you've wound up questioning a lot of the decisions that you made in the past.  

Don't beat yourself up, you are not alone, and look at it this way -- you're older now, wiser, you've been through some shit, and you have gained a new perspective on this whole game of living.  Really, you have.  If no one has told you this, I'm telling you this now.

Here's the deal... because this is a general reading for oodles of different people, there are two possible scenarios that I see here:

1.  Some of you have always been very conservative and cautious in life's decisions.  Sometimes this has turned out well for you, and at other times not exactly.  For you, the cards are telling you it's time to stop being overly cautious and take a chance, do something out-of-character, change things up, go for it.

2.  Some of you have always played the wild card, crossing your fingers and depending on luck, closing your eyes, and taking the leap.  This might have worked out for you most of the time, or at least some of the time, but things are different now.  This is important and you can't f*ck it up.  It's time to make decisions that are sound and solid, based on fact and good judgment.

So there you have it.  Whichever way this ball is going to roll for you... get it done.

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 #32 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy, an offer extended

 

7/wands (R); Queen/cups ~ King/cups; 4/wands

Note: the queen and king of cups fell out of the deck together to the floor when I picked the deck up to shuffle it.  I do believe they are here together in this reading for a reason.

On the queen's side there is the idea of boundaries, very stubborn boundaries that she's maintained and probably for quite some time now.  But, this card is also reversed, so these boundaries are getting harder and harder to maintain, and my question and concern is:  Are these boundaries getting harder to maintain because someone keeps chipping away at them and her and she's getting tired and wore down; or is this queen honestly beginning to change her mind about someone or something all on her own, without coerecion or manipulation?

The king, on the other hand, is over-the-top manic happy about something, ready to throw caution to the wind and jump in with both feet.  However, I also get the feeling of impatience; and this is impatience that could be short-tempered and problematic.  My question here is: Will this king be able to control and temper his unbridled enthusiasm and respect someone else's feelings and hesitation without losing it and really destroying the whole picture?

The Emperor (R); 9/wands; 10/cups

At the time of this reading, there's still a fair amount of resisitance here.  I have to say the little queen has girded her loins and stood her ground in the face of some really over-bearing intimidation and a very strong male presence, being the king -- that's a pretty strong word, intimidation, and depending upon the circumstances it could imply a lot.  But, the thing here is that, he means well, his goal -- and her goal -- are to be happy in the end.  My questions are:  Do they really want the same thing?  Are they on the same page as far as the final outcome?  In the end, what will make the king happy?  In the end, what will make the queen happy?  What regrets do they fear?

Page/cups; Strength; Ace/cups

It looks like the outcome here is all on this queen; the ball is in her court, so to speak.  And lets be realistic, the last card in this reading is the page of cups, and we all know that this card embodies relationships; and upright, you know it's all going to work out.  But we're also going to acknowledge that this has been quite a process and along the way the ultimate outcome may not have always been so clear.  

Bottom line, an offer has been extended, and after much to-do, the offer will be accepted.

Epidsode #27 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy, someone is leaving

 

Queen/pentacles; 8/cups; Page/swords (R)

Somewhere there is someone very quietly contemplating about leaving... leaving a partner?  leaving a location?  leaving a job?  leaving a compromising or difficult situation?  Just leaving.  They've managed to maintain a calm and surprisingly unruffled exterior, so if they actually do leave (whatever it is), I'm sure that it will take someone, or many someones, by surprise.  

There may also be a thread running through this scenario, whichever scenario it may be, and it is wrapped around unpleasant communication... criticism?  arguments?  unpleasant personal and petty exchanges?  lies or gossip?  The thread of this questionable communication is actually the straw that broke the camel's back.

So, they must leave.  Finally, this is made clear for them.

Episode #24 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Eisdom, a warning

 

Knight/pentacles; 8/wands; 10/swords

Long story short...

Someone who is generally stable, and someone who is espeically used to being in a stable postion, is going to find themselves dramatically upended.  The rug is going to be pulled out from under you in a very upsetting and rather rough manner.

This is going to come out of the blue, and it's going to happen very fast.  You're going to feel sucker-punched.

The botton line is that this is going to leave you in a very exposed, vulnerable, and compromising position.  You will find yourself caught between a rock and hard place.  And obviously, this is going to be somthing that will be very difficult, if not impossible to fix.  Once let out, the cat is almost impossible to put back in the bag.
