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 #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 #18 ~ Daily Cards/Daily Energy, 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.

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 #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.
