My Card Private Deck on 9/9

9 of Cups

For the ninth month, the ninth day, I pull 9 of cups for myself in a one card reading. This is quite the card, for it usually means "sated" having it all, plenty, joyous occasion's, not really the way I felt yesterday considering the circumstances, so I will have to take it as the silver lining in the dark cloud of despair. Let's hope it brings a welcome positive energy, as recent events and others have tried to take back over and plunge all involved to their depths of negativity. I am in the fight of my life not to allow this person to try and destroy all I have worked to regain the last 2 years.

Three Card Reading

When I do a three card reading for a specific individual I have a few rules. One is that the deck is of course covered in silk and two, that it is the first thing I do upon rising, so no other influences of the day interfere. This is not a happy-feel-good reading, but as I am not surprised by it either. It is also a birthday reading for the person born today.


                                   Past            Present        Future

 

Past is the Queen of Pentacles

 

This person had a loving, nurturing accomplished woman in his life.  Queen of Pentacles is a "have it all" kind of gal, loves life, beauty, is usually sensual and caring.  She is in the past, you will never have her again.

 

Knight Of Swords

 

The present, Knight Of Swords, is pretty much what you see is what you get. He is bringing upheaval, news, mostly unpleasant, it will be sharp and stinging as he is a rough around the edges type of messenger. It will not be welcome news and the timing makes it worse.

 

Death

 

Well, no one gets out of this world "alive" so they say, and in rare cases the death card does mean a physical death. I believe the news the Knight bears hastens the arrival of the Pale Rider for this reading. I can't say this was a happy reading but honest, and as usual I am not surprised.

3 Card Birthday Reading

Ok I am scan challenged, this is backwards in order as pictured so bear with me.

#1 Card is The Tower, representing your past. You know from previous readings the Tower is the "hit the fan" card, meaning a shake up in a situation that created change. Maybe the timing was not as you planned, but it had to happen for the next events to unfold.

#2 Card is The Chariot, representing your present. The warrior is plunged forward by the two mighty steeds into action.  This represents things moving forward and you have great assistance in these matters. Lots of action and energy associated with this card, a go with the flow sort of instance.

#3Two of Cups, representing your future.  Love, great lasting love in the future, peaceful kind love, for infinity symbols over their heads, and Leo/Lion/Strength/Eight Symbol for infinity as well. Their loving embrace says it all.

Happy birthday and I hope you enjoyed your reading, however since I know you so very well I am not surprised by your cards.

Three of Cups

I pulled the 3 of cups, 3 times, from 2 different decks.  So now that I am over myself and the angels of the Tarot are throughly exhausted with me I can write and reflect.

3 to me is always a great number. I never, even though I am a Libra dislike grouping two, four, etc. Its always 3, 5, 7 and so on. Love the old saying "there's luck in 3's"? The third time is a charm? Its also mentioned in the prayer "when 2 or more together" bringing a higher vibration to the prayer request.

These three ladies dancing in the moodlight, raises their cups in joy/celebration indicate a very positive card, an upswing in events.  They are indeed three muses, love, life, celebration, all good things flowing into one. They appear to not have a care in the world and are dancing in the lush garden of life.

This card usually is an omen of celebration, love, wealth, happiness, return of something or someone long lost to you.

Hearts

I was reminded today by a beautiful lesson on how tender our hearts become when we allow love to enter.

It is similar to the Fool tarot card since it is a true leap of faith to allow another in that sacred place.  We risk all by letting our guard down. Once hurt, maybe over and over again or even a single incident that was so deep we are scarred for life, it becomes more and more difficult to trust and allow another into that guarded palace of the soul.

We also are challenged by the needs of the body: shelter, food, security, the very basic necessities for living or chasing a "bigger carrot" that we forget that without love and someone to share life with its completely meaningless.

As a Libra I am striving for balance and the best possible out come. To walk in the sun and the sand without a hand to hold is indeed a lonely thing, no matter how lovely the view.

Ten of Pentacles

Ten of Pentacles

I didn't choose a traditional image for the ten of pentacles. I like the look and feel of this one as opposed to the Rider-Waite deck image.

I have pulled this card many times in the last month. As Nancy taught, the deck says when I ask over and over again "why don't you trust me" I have to agree. It is the almost too good to be true card. Financial success/windfall/lottery/inheritance. End of troubles. Happy family, secure children, loving couple that have it all. And a wise man thrown in to boot!

I like to think of the dragon over head as a guardian figure, "all who pass through this arch to the light are under my care and protection as I carefully watch over my charges".

I am sure the angels would slap me, oh ye of little faith, as I pray over my reading and keep getting this card.

My wheel has certainly moved forward this week in some very unexpected progress, so I will sit back and let the universe take charge.
