No Question

Tarot cards represent well known symbols and archetypes that help illustrate a story. The intuition bit comes in traversing the connections between the known landmarks. I pulled the following spread (Dec 2019) with an open mind, no particular question or intent, just aiming to practice connecting the dots.


Five of Cups, Reversed 
Interestingly, the reversed five of cups has a couple different meanings that are interdependent of the other cards in the reading - perfect for this exercise! When accompanied by other dark cards, it suggests a loss that feels insurmountable, and deep emotional wounds left behind. However, this card accompanies two mega powerful Major Arcana cards, so I'll apply the other interpretation, which is that my previous shitty situation has turned the corner. The situation is on the mend, and I am in the process of moving on.

Note: Minor Arcana show where where the seeker has the power of influence. Major Arcana shows where the universe is in charge, basically outside influences. A reading dominated by one or the other shows whether and where the seeker can exert influence. 

The Chariot 
Divinely-derived stick-to-it-ness, overcoming obstacles, and achieving goals. Affirmation that I'm moving in the right direction. And a reminder to be grateful for all the things that had to line up just right to make it happen.

The Empress 
Creative projects coming to fruition, making shit happen. Also being surrounded by everything that I need to be happy - so be happy already! 

Connecting the Dots 
In this reading, the Majors dominate, so my influence basically comes down to choosing to get over shit. Now that the job and financial situation has been resolved in my favor, this spread invites me to relax, tap into my creative side, and bring some beauty into the world. Also a reminder to give back and nurture others to keep the good karma flowing. 

Another thing I noticed was there's a theme lately showing me a connection between intellect and creativity. Like, I should tune into both channels and apply myself. I have a tendency to focus and go hard for brief periods and then coast for a while. Have you ever been in a car with someone who pumps the gas and coasts? It's goddamn annoying. I annoy myself 😜

Delinda, Are You There?

This is a reading trying to connect with my 3x great grandma Delinda Fairchild. 2 of Cups: I believe this is showing me that we’re “birds of a feather” and have similar character. It’s two very different birds enjoying the same food and the same environment or ecosystem. Most interestingly, one bird is black, one bird is white; I am white and Delinda was black. A little on the nose, but it struck me. King of Swords: She was a smart and clever woman and had an attitude of authority, a matriarch. The crow is perched on a grave with angel wings against a smoky background: a spirit who has passed on. There are 3 hourglasses: hourglasses normally represent time but I don’t know how it applies. They hold a fish, a heart, and a sword, which I perceive as the gut feeling, the emotions, and the mind working in harmony. Maybe she was intuitive, too? 4 of Pents Rv: I get a sense she was on the defensive a lot of her life. From the ONE vital record I found of her, she lived in rural New York, wido...

I’m a Monster

 Q: What can I do to better support my spouse’s new business idea? (Housewives Tarot, of course) 5 of Cups: failure, pessimism Page of Cups Rv: new ideas, doubts, creative block 8 of Cups: disappointment, giving up, fantasy Clarifier: Page of Pentacles: opportunity, skill development, manifestation Rather than answering how I can help, the spread displays my general attitude about his gazillion hobbies and spending too much money on expensive things he will get bored of right away and never use again. I am the one who is pessimistic, doubtful. I am worried he’s buying just to buy, has big ideas with no follow-through.  The last card, Page of Pents, I pulled as a clarifier. It seemed to assure me that my spouse really does see photography as a financial opportunity. He’s dedicated hours and hours to learning the equipment, software, industries, and other topics. He is really trying to manifest this reality and make the leap to self-employment via services using this equipment. ...
