Daily Tarot, days 10 and 11
Aug. 5th, 2014 08:49 pmYesterday I drew one card, and it only needed one card.
Ladies and gentlemen and variations thereof, the Queen of Swords. The Queen of Swords represents someone concerned with emotional matters, but who takes a logical, rational, intellectual (or at least intellectualized) approach to them. This is following on a long trail of THINK HARD ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT spreads, in a variety of permutations. The little book calls this card Intelligent and Solitary, symbolizing "A woman alone" and "Head over heart." This woman embodies "Strong will. Sharp wit. Sarcasm. Autonomy. Ambition" and a bunch of other stone-cold-bitch related things. As a situation card, the book says that "This is a card of 'going it alone'" and warns me to "stand up for yourself and be clear about your wants and needs" which oh yes Jesus do I need to do that. It also says that I "have learned to be independent during periods of loneliness" which I think I have, and says that I am "far more interested in career and ambitions than in emotional matters" except the two are quite closely related, I think, but at any rate those are certainly my focus about now.
Today I also drew one card, but then I tempted fate and drew a second.
The first card was the Ace of Wands, the root of Fire, Rearing to Go, representing "New life." This is a card of beginnings, promising a new venture or enterprise or project of some sort, "Fresh ideas. . . . Inspiration. Innovation. Optimism" and "putting ambitions into action." The card suggests that "Something happens to stimulate your career. This is a time of initiation, invention, and creativity." That sounds pretty awesome!
What sort of new thing, I wondered? So I pulled a clarification card, which turned out to be the Two of Swords, Stalemate, representing "A tense situation. An impasse." For advice, this card warns that I "must confront issues directly" and "face what you really want or feel." Basically, I think this card is warning me that an exciting opportunity of some sort is going to come my way, but I will have to be decisive and take it.
