Freedom, Fantasy, and Travel: Daily Spread

8 of Swords Rx

XVIII The Moon

Knight of Wands

Freedom, fantasy, and travel. Those are my first impressions. I wonder what I'll be escaping (8 of Swords Rx)? I pretty much always stay in my apartment and my only plan for leaving today is going to the grocery store. The Moon card suggests some kind of fantasy, maybe that's a method of escape? This is an interesting spread. I'm curious to see who I'll talk to that will help with ''freeing'' me. It looks like I'll be inspired and less tense than normal. A person (Knight of Wands) will inspire my mind (swords + moon) to''letting go'' of it's imprisonment.

For one, I never left the house at all today. I did reach out online to my first pro bono tarot reading on Facebook. A woman just wrote me and expected a reading from me, no introduction, no telling me how she found me, shit, she didn't even ask, she just wrote and expected a reading. And I took inspiration from a true humanitarian co-worker of mine and decided to go ahead and do a reading for this charity case. So, I reached out in a way.

I got a ton of sleep, which is to what the The Moon was referring.

November 22nd 2010 Daily Spread

III The Empress Rx

6 of Wands

5 of Pentacles Rx


Looks pretty good to me! I am very excited to cook for Thanksgiving, and I will be cooking for my husband's family for the first time. We only got married about 5 months ago and I want to show off my cooking skills. We'll be going grocery shopping tonight and my husband said something about only having so much money to shop with (Empress Rx), but I think I can pull it in at a reasonable price (6 of Wands). And the 5 of Pentacles Rx is always nice to see, there may be some practical opportunity for me to do everything I want with this banquet that I'm not seeing now. But I am pretty sure I have things covered!

________________________________________________

Ah, so, ok...that Empress Rx mixed with the 5 Pentacles Rx. We went to the grocery store and had all our groceries bagged, in the cart, ready to go, and our check got declined! Through no fault of ours. We had more than enough in the bank, the grocery store just decided our check was unrecognizable or some shit. Fucking tele-check bullshit! So, we are gonna have to go through the whole tedious process again tonight.

November 21, 2010 Daily Spread

Justice Rx

Ace of Pentacles Rx

2 of Cups Rx

Yeah, this doesn't look like the most pleasant day. I'm not actually involved in any kind of legal case so I'm just going to go with the fact that I will be judged harshly today. By the 2 of Cups Rx, I'm going to say it will be by my husband. And that I won't make any money today. Awesome.

____________________________________

This reading was likely a leftover from the fight my husband and I had the day before (November 20th). I was still feeling hurt when I woke up to do my daily spread and, fuck, seeing this didn't feel good either. Honestly, when I saw the Justice Reversed, I saw a limp dick, implying no sex. See how the sword hanging upside down looks like a flaccid penis? And I hate not having sex, for any reason. I don't care if we're fighting, let's have some hate sex! But my new husband, he's so not into that.

However....we were back to our nice selves around noon and by 4 pm we were having some of the best sex... I am having an issue with menstruating this year, and for the past 18 DAYS I was bleeding. My husband is the cunnilingus king and was really wanting to go down on me...and we finally got our chance! And it was so unbelievably amazing!!!! I mean he was giving me orgasms from his mouth that, normally, can only happen with his dick. So, I'm just going to pay more attention I see cards like this come up.

So yeah, I should have cleared my mind a bit more before doing a fresh daily spread.

November 20th 2010 Daily Spread

Yeah, so I'm not really into placement meanings for 3 card daily spreads. I never was originally, but then I experimented (the experiments are posted in this blog); now I just read the cards intuitively.

2 of Pentacles

9 of Wands

5 of Wands

Juggling some stressful situations, although it looks like I'll be alert (9 of Wands) and easily able to think on my feet. It might feel like a struggle because it feels like I'm not receiving any recognition or rewards for my efforts (5 of Wands).

I want to help (9 of Wands) but I may just end up getting a bit misunderstood, or I will misunderstand (5 of Wands) and not feel like I did help. Although, this is just today's influence....if I adjust (2 of Pentacles) and keep flexible that will keep me straight.

____________________________________________

Today was going along fine; my husband was out all day in Richmond with a friend of his. I got to just stay home and relax and wait for calls...but 5's do mean fights...So, when he came home he decided to let me know that I am a failure on all counts.

November 19th 2010 3 Card Daily Spread

3 of Swords Rx

8 of Wands

3 of Wands Rx

A set of 3's and the 8 of Wands implies that there is another person I am trying to contact for help. It's with a heavy heart I'll be asking and it looks like I won't get the help I want. At least not today. But there will be communication, by the look of the 8 of Wands. Email in particular.

_______________________________________________________

Meh, okay I was a bit off. I thought about what I did do today and realized what this reading was in reference to...

I spent a bit of time on Facebook looking for and ex of mine. He has a pretty common first name, so there were like 500 entries with the same name, despite his last name. Didn't find him.

November 18th 2010 Daily Spread

The spread:



Woman of Crystals Rx

Man of Crystals Rx

6 of Crystals Rx



All of the same suit, Cyrstals, which translates as Swords, which has to do with the Mind. Over thinking, over analyzing, etc. Since the Man and Woman are of the same suit, it implies a couple. Myself and Bob are over thinking things today, making the Woman touchy and defensive, and the Man disorganized. (Due to the reversals)



I haven't seen BoB today, yet. He's at work, and I'm at home waiting for a new call. And now I'm nervous and over thinking this spread.



The outcome is the 6 of Crystals Reversed. In the Voyager deck the card is titled ''Confusion.'' With this reversal I would think it would be a kind of confusion resolved with logic and clarity. The blue crystal in the card jumps out at me, but undetermined in it's meaning.



I will have to come back tonight to report what the day has been like.

______________________________________________________________________________

I was so concerned about having an argument with my husband that I just kept my head about me. Turned the reversed cards upright. My husband, as represented by the Man of Crystals Rx, did have a confusing day at work. Machines weren't doing what they should. The 6 of Crystals Rx showed Clarity and that is what came through.

Situation, Advice, Encouragment: A 3-Card Spread

I lost my job as a cook at the beginning of this week and I'm not too happy about it. I'm back to doing tarot full time, which is slow, but not dead. My husband won't let me drink, which I totally deserve too, what with losing a job and all...

Alright, so the situation is the Tower. Yeah, getting ''let go'' from the restaurant was pretty much out of left field for me. The advice with the other cards seems to be saying move forward. Move forward with encouragement from an enthusiastic young man, put my happy face on, and be like a ram charging ahead. Charge forward.

This is what I've been doing this week, jumping into the tarot reading game with some of what I've taken away from the restaurant. See, the place I worked was incredibly slow, so there was a lot of waiting around for a customer, the jumping to when they came in...I'm taking this to waiting around for calls. I'm much less nervous and I have more discipline this time around, after having to go to a job outside the home.

Working from home is awesome! And I'm very lucky my new husband is so supportive of me doing this job!
