In my mind, the three of cups is about joyful celebration in partnership. What does that mean? It means today is a day to party. Find your friends. Find your loved ones. Share joy, share heartache, share good times, share bad times. I don’t care. As long as you share. Split a glass of wine….
Whenever I draw this card, it reminds me to enjoy the processes of my life. Sure, there are tons of things we all have to do. Often, the thought or even the stress of getting ready to do them makes them seem bigger, than they are. And when we actually bite the bullet and start,…
When I was a kid, I had a poster on my wall. It said, “Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell in such a way that they actually look forward to the trip.” In some ways, that statement typifies the brighter facets of this card. Yes, sometimes, we can’t help but…
Redundant backups are your friend. I do two backups of my data. One is daily/nightly and the other is monthly. Last night, my daily back drive bit the dust. My computer was fine but I couldn’t back up to the drive. So, I had to grab ye ol’ secondary backup, get that going, make sure…

It starts with being honest with ourselves. In the end, that’s most important. I find that my own capacity for pulling the wool over my own eyes can be quite vast. So, I constantly have to remind myself to assess where I am, what I am going through, what I want, and what I will…
The Magician always takes me a little by surprise because he brings a clarion call to purposeful action. I tend to to think that I do most things on purpose and with purpose but then I draw the Magician and stop and think about what I’m doing and how I’m doing it. And then I…
I love this card! It falls in the middle of one of my favorite runs in the tarot, the seven, eight, and nine of cups. The seven of cups talks to us about choices and options. We have them and we are faced with what we are going to do about them (see that entry…
Ah, the Happy Merchant. That’s what I always think of when I see this card. This is someone who is just pleased as punch and has worked hard enough to be darned self-satisfied. Today is a day not only to rest on your laurels but if you can, take the time to bathe in ’em….
