A note on daily journaling with a tarot card.
•
As a part of my overall wellness journey I start each day with journaling. I try to capture my mood, be aware of how my body is feeling, make a note of any dreams. Essentially it’s about setting my intentions for the day with mindfulness and awareness of how I am feeling and thinking.…

A Fish Out of Water: Embracing the Transition
•
Tuning into the Internal Jukebox 23rd of October and I have drawn the page of Cups. My internal infernal jukebox (There’s a post about that here (The Infernal Internal Jukebox: My Constant Companion) has been playing Sympathy for the Devil since I woke up. Navigating the Waters: From Theory to Practice with the Page…

Taking a Pause to Practice Gratitude
•
The “Four of Cups” on October 22nd – three goblets on a table, with a fourth being offered from a cloud to a deeply contemplative figure. This figure, lost in thought, seems oblivious to the new opportunity presented. Initially, I perceived a sense of sadness in the figure, but upon deeper reflection, it’s more…

The Tower: Demolishing and Rebuilding for a Breakthrough
•
The Tower card has appeared, a powerful, albeit initially heart-sinking, symbol. Yet, it arrives at a crucial moment, demanding I confront a quandary that has plagued me: when to truly launch my venture. I’ve soft-launched, offering a free pattern, and am diligently building blog content. But without anything to sell, I’m not yet a…

The World: Untangling the Threads and Finding My Flow
•
The 18th of October started with a wonderful “lightbulb moment” around 1 am! You know those moments when you’ve been wrestling with a problem all day, a knotty puzzle to untangle, and then BAM! Your sleeping brain just hands you the solution? I absolutely love it when that happens! This particular puzzle has been…

Three of Wands: Navigating the Tides of Expectation and Reality.
•
A Wistful Mood and a Big Life UpdateToday, I feel a sense of relief. A couple of evenings ago, I composed a significant life update on my personal Facebook account. I was incredibly nervous about how it would be received, a classic case of overthinking. Thankfully, the responses were largely positive. While it’s impossible…

The Persistent Ace of Wands: Embracing New Beginnings
•
I drew the Eight of Wands six days ago, and it keeps reappearing. This often happens; a card will keep showing up until I’ve fully absorbed its message. For a long time, that card was the Ten of Swords – it got to the point where I considered buying a new deck! But no,…

Justice: A “Soft Launch” and a Hard Truth
•
Justice: A “Soft Launch” and a Hard Truth Today, October 13th, was supposed to be launch day. The Tarot card I pulled? Justice. I’ve had this card fairly recently, and remembering its various interpretations without opening a book, is a perfect example of why my previous musings about becoming a Tarot reader needed to…

Judgement Day: Embracing the Imperfect Launch Today is the 11th of October, and I have drawn Judgement. I should be launching my new venture on the 13th of October. So Judgement Day is fast approaching! I had first wanted to launch on the 1st of October—the first always feels like a good day to…

The Unstable Vessel: A Meditation on the Eight of Cups
•
Oh boy. Eight of Cups. I’ve come crashing down to earth reality with a huge bang. I suddenly realised yesterday evening like a thunderclap: I’ve done all this preparation, some of it years in the making, and I’ve overlooked one very, very, very important piece of the puzzle. These days, possibly the most important…

Ace of Cups: A Morning of Inspiration
•
October 9th and I’ve pulled the Ace of Cups. Wowzer. Two Aces in a row! I’m up super early, which is not unusual for me. The sky is deliciously dark, and the stars—oh my, the stars—they’re so bright against the velvet night. Not forgetting the moon, which is just off from being full. I…

The Ace of Wands: A Spark of New Beginnings
•
8th of October – and today’s card is the Ace of Wands. Wow, powerful cards recently. I try and remember the suits through acronyms—on account of my brain not being able to remember things forever—I realize how many years I’ve never been able to recall all the card meanings. I wonder if this is…

A Page of Swords Day: Finding Action and Mindfulness in the Everyday
•
October 7th: The Page Arrives I had thought I’d draw one of the fours today, expecting a day of stability or pause, but the cards had other ideas. Instead, I drew the Page of Swords. The figure stands right on the edge of a cliff, a sword held firmly in two hands—a picture of…

The Chariot: Full Steam Ahead on the Journey of Self

So, this is my reading from October the 5th. And I pulled the Empress card. Good morning world. Am I ready for the day? I am not. But I’m willing to be, very, very willing. Lots to do. I overdid working on the Wonky chart the other morning and had to seriously rest my…
