Delay

X The Wheel of Fortune

10 of Swords

Ace of Wands Rx

A woman over at the Aeclectic Tarot Forums named Amanda04 does something called a ''Summary Card.'' She adds together the numerals on the cards, excluding the court cards, to get a summation of the reading. For this reading I get III The Empress, and that's a nice soft landing for this little daily spread. Funny too that yesterday's Summary Card is now in this spread, The Wheel of Fortune.

Striving, that's all I'm seeing for today. Trying to do things, but getting set back, delay. It is the first day of Mercury Retrograde after all.

Summary Card: X Wheel of Fortune

V The Hierophant

An issue with mail today, like I won't get my paycheck today? Because the Page Rx is beside the 5 of Pent's? We'll see. And I have to obey all the rules...Hierophant. I need to just keep my head down and work work work. Keep the house clean, stay focused.

This is the second time The Hierophant has shown up for me this week, but I don't normally have to deal with any large institutions...except now I'm married, does that count?

Anyone want to jump in with suggestions?

Oddly, I got a good email today, someone requesting my services...so that's great. And I'm taking the suggestion of the 5 of Pentacles and going to jump on that!

II High Priestess Rx

3 of Swords Rx

IX The Hermit

Will I try to look up an ex on Facebook (HP Rx + 3 of Swords Rx)?

It looks like I'll want to open up to meditation, but not get it right and just end up alone all day.

5 of Wands

XVIII The Moon Rx

Hmmmm...the 5 of Wands doesn't bode well. My big plans today were to finally decorate the house, which I have never done, for Christmas. Went to my mom's and she gave me boxes and boxes of decorations, way too much. I wanted to change the house before BoB comes home. The 6 of Swords seems to be fair in showing this presto-chango idea I have.

The Moon Rx....deceit? Or does this just go with the theme or redecorating? Changing appearances?

Any suggestions on what today brings?

____________________________________________

Yeah, BoB wanted to fight for no reason when he came home. He hated the smell in the house (I cooked bacon for the first time ever) and he hated the redecorating. He accused me of being drunk all day because he found a cork in the trash. I guess he goes through the trash???? He spies on me in subtle ways...I was redecorating and in doing so, I cleaned in places I wouldn't ordinarily...he accused me of hiding money from him. I mean, he was all over the map...

The Light, The Boundary, and The Freedom

XIX The Sun

V The Hierophant

8 of Swords Rx

This looks positive, better than yesterday's dark, yet irrelevant, reading. The Sun shows today will be a good day, things will go well, I will be successful. The Hierophant shows I will follow the rules and possibly come up against boundaries, but if I stay in established parameters, this will be fine. And the 8 of Swords show me breaking out of my isolation.

Today started when an old friend called me out of the blue, so that's cool. Trying to plan ahead for seeing people at Christmas sounds pretty good. And my other plan is to finally go over to my mom's and get some Christmas decorations. Currently, I just came back from the gym, and my back is in significant pain.

It must have started two weeks ago...I had a crick in my upper back. Just couldn't crack it, so I had BoB massage me. But it was the type of pain that couldn't be massaged out. Started taking tylenol hoping it would go away, but when a week went by, I realized it wouldn't and I need to make an appointment with a chiropractor...still need to do that, the pain isn't letting up and today it's so much worse. I figured exercise would help, but no...

XIII Transition (Death)

Holy crap! What's going on today? Here I am, hanging out with BoB (my husband), having an average weekend. Better than average really, he's working on some clothing projects he has, I've gone to gym and am watching Star Trek Voyager...my only plan was to maybe leave the house to go see my mom. She has some Christmas decoration for me to come and pick up...but these cards suggest I'll be dealing with some intense subjects...Bad news, a lot to think about, and the end of something...hmmm.

______________________________

Yeah, no. Nothing negative happened. So I will keep a look out for anything started today.

Juggle, Wait, and Trouble

2 of Pentacles

7 of Pentacles

King of Swords Rx

Ooh, don't like the looks of the King of Swords Rx. I never leave the house so I don't know what kind of serious trouble I could even get in...he represents and authority, like the cops, who don't seem to be on my side...huh. Let me go and look at the last time he came up. November 29th and June 10th are the last recorded times he came up, and nothing. I'll need to look deeper into what he's representing for me.

The other two cards look great, like I'm setting up a good foundation for getting paid..Patience, perseverance, and talent...I just need patience, the 7 of Pentacles.

One of my first thoughts last Monday, when I got the King of Swords Rx, was SEX. You know, because Rx his sword is upright. Very phallic. But on Monday, I didn't get to have sex :( Today I did though! My husband and I were watching some Star Trek Voyager (season 5 episode 2 ''Drone'') and we ended up doing some weird jokey Borg roleplay.

He assimilated me. That could be kind of King of Swords Rx...right?
