8 Cups, 2 Cups, 2 Wands Rx

1. 8 of Cups

2. 2 of Cups

3. 2 of Wands Rx

What I have learned to associate with the 8 of Cups is the turning away from social situations in order to focus inward and upward toward a more spiritual life. I would like now to bring in the Crowley interpretation: this is the card called the Lord of Indolence and has the association of energy being stagnant with little renewal. This is a warning to attend to whatever is blocking the energy, get channels moving again.

One area to look into is the sort of relationship in which one partner gives too much and receives little payoff. It's worth doing an appraisal of your relationships when this card comes up, just to see if anything is dangerously one sided. We deserve to receive from others exactly what we are prepared to give to ourselves...so, if we give ourselves little attention, why would anyone else give it to us? It's time to look inward and upward, retreat from a social circle in this manner and take time to give attention, love, and respect to the self.

The 2 of Cups brings up an image, for me, of a great friendship that turns into a deep romantic partnership, harmony, reconciliation, and love that is reciprocated. Delving further into research with the Thoth deck and at Angel Paths, this card is the Lord of Love. The image here is reflective and receptive to love and passion, and while it shows having a partner, it does point out that love comes from within. When I love myself, and hold my inner nature in high regard, and see myself in this light, others cannot help but respond to my personal sense of value.

When I work to love myself, I can release so many areas of self-doubt and uncertainty that I will become infused with a new energy--new energy I can lavish on others. The 2 of Cups is about engaging in a caring fashion with my own needs first...and reassurance that existing relationships are as meaningful as they are strong and can develop into what we need them to be.

All this is very very important to me today...I woke up in a somewhat negative mood...thinking about all the ways marriage can suffocate...I'm not allowed to go out anymore, I can't drink, everything has to be on his schedule...so negative in fact, I had to immediately had to go and look at my horoscope because I knew some transit was going on and I needed to look a the bigger picture and figure out what I cycle is going on. First, I have a Mars square Mars transit--aggressive and energetic. Second, Venus is squaring Saturn, with has to do with feelings of being unloved...or not loved enough. I realized that this has little to do with the external influences of being married or not, because even if I wasn't, I'd still likely feel the way I did this morning, and be blaming it on whatever my circumstances were. The cards I've pulled for today's reading have been very reassuring and given me a strategy with which to deal with my emotional landscape today.

The 2 of Wands Rx, typically has to do with having to go back to the drawing board in a project. This is the Lord of Dominion and concerns my personal freedom of choice, and living in accordance of my Will. Yeah, ''Will'' was so important in Crowley circles...and I think the fact that it is reversed shows how much I have to bend within my relationship. And by the word ''Dominion'' in the title of this card, the meaning is 'rulership'. And the ''Will'' Crowley refers to goes along the lines of... Every moment we are asserting our Will, at all moments, it creates a piece of our upcoming reality. Every thought we think, our Will operates to bring that thought into existence. So, be warned about unhappiness generating more unhappiness. This card says to pay attention to our thoughts, by asking us to take responsibility for the future we are making for ourselves, make a plan. Yes, I need to go back to the drawing board on that today.

8 of Cups Affirmation: My energy is the energy of the Universe. My power is my own.
2 of Cups Affirmation: Love flows into my life in an endless stream.
2 of Wands Affirmation: My Will flows effortlessly in perfect acts of creation.

What Cards Are These?

I just had a free professional reading done by a woman named Enchantment who works at a different company than the Psychic Power Network. These are the cards she used and I was wondering what deck they came from? Does anyone know? Here's her reading:

EMOTIONAL MAP READING

I sense that right now and for the past 10-12 months i sense that you have been going through emotional healing, there is a lot of spiritual healing and energy around you. You seem to be very much in tune to what you feel, why you feel it, knowing why your emotions are there and what they are telling you. I sense that you are an indigo child, a spiritual child and that you would have experiences most of your life. I sense you must be have been born in the age of Aquarius.

I find it very strange that both the first and second card has an dolphin in it, out of 90 cards, what are the odds of that.

Dolphins are very spiritual mammals, they sense energy. They work with instinct.

You are a very calm person and you are about to step into your own energy.

Are you studying at the moment?

Are you interested in astrology? Because this is what i sense strongly.

You are about to take a new journey in life, everything coming together, keep going along the path that you are on right now.

Attuning to your own higher self.


Pretty nice, very much my situation at the moment and I am an astrologer. I would like to make more progress doing more Astrology readings in the future, it's such an interest for me and I'd love to share the knowledge I've been immersed in for the past 5 1/2 years.

2 Swords, 3 Cups, XI Justice

1. 2 of Swords

2. 3 of Cups

3. XI Justice

My first thought is,''Wow! The 3 of Cups!'' I rarely get that card these days. Looks like fun. My plan today is to work and make some money, but normally I get too freaked out with stage fright to turn on the phone, but I will have it on today, from 12-4pm...I hope I don't suddenly get sleepy or hungry then...feel stuck like the 2 of Swords suggest. Cosmic balance looks like it's on my side with Justice...probably a get laid card...it does show up when I get to have sex, so that's cool. Overall, that 3 of Cups makes me feel good, I do see a party happening...awesome!
___________________________________

To follow up, I did not have sex last night; hmmm, then wtf did the Justice card have to do with anything last night? We hung out with Gregg last night, so the 3 of cups was very literal in being 3 people hanging out...and I didn't log in to the phone service yesterday...

A Knight, A Queen, & A King

1. Knight of Wands

2. Queen of Swords Rx

3. King of Cups

In a 3 card daily spread, this is a lot of court cards. I should be dealing with a few people today...and am I in the mood for it...I just can't quite wake up...is the Queen me? She is irritable and moody and a bit of an exaggerator.

The other two men shown here are a Knight, which is the image of a man on a mission. Possibly a traveler and one who has high moral ideals to uphold and defend while on his journey. He invokes in those around him rising confidence levels. This image shows up as the result of overcoming fears and surmounting obstacles which have previously hindered us, or held us back.

And the King faces forward, straight out of the card...offering successful application of strength and insight. He is a feeler after all, in the suit of Cups. A strong quiet type and kind of moody. Sensitive and intense personality, and subject to intense insecurity, needing constant re-assurance.

Looks like an interesting day. I just really need to wake up because I am going TO HAVE THE PHONE ON DAMMIT! For the first time in a while, and I'm going to keep it up, as of today. I have all this renewed energy and confidence since I spoke with a fellow co-worker of mine, the great Kashmire Farber, who was quite clearly the Knight of Wands for me.

I am the Queen of Swords in this reading, only I'm being too hard on myself. I've got to think that my excessive sleepiness right now is just a symptom of procrastination. I need to wake up!!!!! And take some wonderful calls and be there for people who need me.

Page of Cups, Judgment, 5 of Wands

1. Page of Cups

2. XX Judgment Rx

3. 5 of Wands Rx

Oooh, a text message that's all sweet from my husband, Page of Cups...looks good. And, I just started working out and eating healthier for the New Year, and what shows up whenever I start doing this, XX Judgment Rx....Guilt, guilt of my corporeal form. That's what this card says to me, and it always shows up when I start agonizing about my weight.

Haven't had a fight with my husband, or anyone, so the 5 of Wands being reversed is appropriate, although it usually foretells of picking up the pieces after a fight. May have to do with my renewed energy and confidence for doing phone sessions with my company The Psychic Power Network.

And if I add the numbers of this reading together, the 5 plus the 20 (I've learned that it's accepted to not include the people cards) I get the number 7. So, my summary card is VII The Chariot. This looks great! I feel very focused and energized in many ways all around...changing my diet, my exercise routine, and getting back to the phone service! I am going places today.

And let me say again, I encourage any questions, comments, suggestions, and anyone else's tarot interpretations!

New Years Spread

Here's how it goes, this is a 16 card spread that goes 4 cards for the 4 seasons (or every three months). These are the positional meanings:

1. Something new

2. Something good

3. Something to prepare for

4 Something you should know

January-March

Something new has to do with the Hermit Rx....does that mean I may get out of the house more, because otherwise, that doesn't look like a new ''good'' thing...it looks like the something new is me not taking my own advice or heeding my inner wisdom...Something good is making a new friend...so I will take the Hermit Rx literally and believe it to mean I will get out of the house. I should prepare for being out of touch, loss of internet? Yeah, I will prepare for that! Something I should know in these first 3 months is I am hot!

April-June

Something new is I will be released from jail! A new freedom perhaps. And something good will the the King of Wands Rx? How would he be good? He seems strict and moody...Something I should prepare for is, again, being social, 8 of Cups Rx, getting back into and of the world, celebrating earthly pursuits over spiritual ones. Something I should know is the King of Pentacles, someone rather...He represents a solid financial earthly life and pursuits, so maybe it's all about money making this season of spring.

July-September

Something new is new friends? Or not being tied to that past any longer, just looking forward, something is good is not being overly worried and realizing everything will work out fine. Something I should prepare for is sneakiness coming from somewhere, something not being forthcoming. Something I should know is communication is being delayed.

October-December

Something new is hopefulness and good health, something good is saving money and not spending it, like we are saving it for a plan we have and so we are not being as generous as usual. Something to be prepared for is making a new friend and/or repairing a relationship that has been coming apart. Something I should know is the fight will be less emotional and just more confused energies.

XXI The World Rx

Page of Swords

IX Hermit

What am I doing today? Stubbornly refusing to go anywhere? It's still BoB's Christmas/New Years vacation and we've been hanging out inside because of the snow and the fact that it's still Mercury Rx (and about to turn direct and into it's shadow period) keeps putting off any plans we start to put together...

Is the Page of Swords an outside source of bad news? Or what? I would loooove it if BoB decided to take off for a day and night without me...then I could go out and have dinner by myself with a good book...and maybe hook up with Meghan and go hang out all dressed up somewhere...but *sigh* that's probably not going to happen...I'm just fantasizing with the Hermit showing up...
