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 😜

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....
