Learning New Stuff

I splurged and signed up for an online course on ways to make money on my art. I pulled 3 cards to get a sense of what I can expect and if this will be a helpful course.

Knight of Wands: Creative *action*, exercises, stuff to do, etc. Could also refer to my being impulsive jumping on this course! But I’m definitely inspired and want to learn new things.

King of Cups: I need to check my expectations and control my emotions and keep an open mind. I’ll admit I’m walking into this with raging imposter syndrome 😅

Ace of Swords R: This course might bring clarity to the business / marketing side of things and might have me rethinking some things.

What are you picking up here?

[BTW 3rd Edition of Northern Animal Tarot is perfection!! Slightly smaller cards are easier to shuffle, the linen is finer-grain than 1st Ed and the colors are so vibrant!!]

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....
