Stability or Adventure? Part II


I pulled a second reading on Stability or adventure? when I was feeling more on the "adventure" side.



1: Heart of the Matter: 4 Swords Upright: Recovery period, recuperation after a warring state. Seeker has a secret weapon, but may not know it.

Hubby and I had been constantly bickering about stupid crap; bills, chores, the dog, and I just wanted a break!


2: Immediate Obstacles: High Priestess Upright: Intuition, premonition. Spirituality, psychic energy. Keeping secrets. Mysterious.

I couldn't talk to my family about it because I wasn't supposed to tell them we might sell the house and live out of a van. I felt like I couldn't see the forest for the trees, my gut feelings were obscured.


3: Past Influences: The Devil Reversed: Resistance to negative forces, freedom from bondage. Detachment from unhealthy influence, but feeling defeated.

I got sober a number of years ago and got pretty good at not getting sucked into other people's drama, but it really is a bummer detaching.


4: Answer: 9 of Cups Reversed: Wish will not be fulfilled. Setback from over-indulging in material things. Warning to correct pride and vanity.

While I was considering this huge life shift, I was doing it only for the possibility of financial gain from selling the house rather than all the other reasons. My heart wasn't in it, but I wanted that cash! Like I said on the previous post, we eventually decided not to make the move.

Update: There was, indeed, a setback from over-indulging in material things, but it hadn't yet happened when I posted this. There was more going on behind the scenes financially that I was not privy to, and it put this whole #vanlife idea to bed for good! Thank goodness we still have the house 😣

Card of the Day: Six of Pentacles

Giving, receiving, sharing. I couldn't really relate to this card as I'm not typically the philanthropic type, and I'm also not on the other end of the balance needing charity. Looking at the Biddy Tarot definition, the author pulls out an application for relationships that is a perfect fit: "...If you are in a relationship, the Six of Pentacles can suggest that one partner is dependent on the other to provide most of the money, love or energy for the relationship to keep going... The relationship is, therefore, unequal; however, both partners have mutually agreed to this arrangement to ensure stability." My husband was already laid off for a couple weeks when the COVID-19 pandemic began. There were no jobs all winter or spring, but he had unemployment, and the CARES Act provided enough supplemental income to keep going as normal as possible. I pulled this card the the last week of hubbin's unemployment benefits, and as of yet, we don't know if he is eligi...

Death of a Friend

 A boyfriend from high school died a couple years ago and I only just found out. For the last several years he would post on FB for his sobriety anniversary and I hadn’t seen anything so I went to his profile and saw… “heavenly birthday” greetings from last year?!?!  No announcement on his profile, no obit, not even an open post on his wife’s, kids’, mom’s, or brother’s pages. I did some internet sleuthing and all I found was a rejected bankruptcy filing from 2 years ago for $3000 of debt. His last profile pic he looked sick so he could have had liver issues, cancer, anything.  I was deeply infatuated with this dude and am feeling really gutted. I decided to pull a mini-cross spread to get some intuitive insight but it’s really not comforting 😢 6 card mini cross Mystic Cats Tarot  1: subject/person King of Cups Rv Prone to moodiness or depression but emotionally self-aware.  Yep.  2: obstacle/challenge Judgement  Higher calling, life purpose, letting ...

Not Immediately Clear Does Not Mean Wrong Part I

 I have pulled two readings for myself in the last month that just don't make sense, and I could not figure out what the lesson, or how to apply it to my life.  The first was this one from Dec 3: First of all, I don't even remember the question, but I think actually that will help me get clarity. I will often pull a spread that has nothing to do with what I'm after, but still makes sense in some other aspect of my life that actually has higher priority.  9 Pentacles Rev: Self-worth, over-investment in work, hustling 7 Pentacles: Long-term view, sustainable results, perseverance, investment 8 Cups: Disappointment, abandonment, withdrawal, escapism At first I could see how being obsessed with work and material gain can lead to disappointment and giving up, but I was not sure how it fit with me right now. In the two jobs previous to this I definitely hustled my ass off and was  not  rewarded fairly. I got major burnout. Yes I was disappointed and I quit both jobs....
