Daily Tarot, day 8
Aug. 2nd, 2014 10:33 pmI actually just did a three-card spread today. Today was VERY BUSY and I did not feel like I accomplished as much as I wanted to. But I did get a good bit done. I am using my vampire deck; it is the only one I took to NJ with me since it is my oldest and most familiar.
Today's question was basically also about "what am I going to accomplish this weekend," because I was worried that I was not getting enough stuff done this weekend. *looks at giant piles of books in despair*
The first card, the past card, is the Queen of Pentacles, "Practical Manager," in her upright position meaning "sensible approach." In my elemental system, this card refers to a person who is largely focused on issues of emotion and intuition, but takes a practical and materially-based approach to these issues. The Queen of Pentacles is a sort of material-care-oriented type of person: she asks "Are you getting enough sleep?" and "Do you want a cup of tea?" and de-stresses by eating right, cleaning things, and going to the gym. In this particular place in this reading, especially considering the question I asked, it seems to be suggesting that I am doing a lot of emotional work this weekend, which I suppose I am, which makes me feel a bit better about falling behind on the material work I'm supposed to be doing. My book advises that "a sensible, practical approach brings steady progress" and that "you may apply practical, conservative measures to your own affairs."
The second card, the present card, is the Ten of Pentacles, "Material Abundance," which I suppose I am surrounded by even if I am wigging out about my finances, and in its upright position represents "Family support." This makes perfect sense to me as the bulk of today was taken up with a two-hour Family Meeting (my parents are divorced so whole-Family Meetings, with both parents and both kids there, are fairly infrequent and occur only in cases of great need in planning and coordination), taking my brother to go buy stuff for his back, and trying to help my mother not freak out (Idunno how effective I was at this). This card symbolizes "strong family ties" and "prosperity," among other things, and it is "a positive card suggesting financial security ... major life transitions, the successful sale or transfer of property" and mentions that a family member/familial figure may help the querent in some way. This seems to sum up today pretty well--surrounded by stuff and working out all our family logistics.
The third card, the future card, is the Queen of Cups, "A Caring Woman," in her upright aspect representing "Deep feeling. Nurturing." As Queens and Cups are both water cards, this card represents someone focusing on emotional issues and taking an emotional or intuitive approach to them. As a situation card, it suggests that it is a time to "turn inward to examine your feelings" and to trust your intuition/gut feelings. The book also literally calls out that "Your mother ... may play a significant role in near future events," which is exactly what we've been planning about. So I guess it is time to focus on my feelings and worry a bit less about moving my shit around, except maybe as it relates to me feeling better or worse about it.
