Romantic, moody, emotional, compassionate, creative, imaginative, feeling – these all describe the Knight of Cups. Today is a day to really get into how we feel and what it means to be us in our shoes, at this time and in this place. Sometimes, it’s easy to know how we feel. When my cat climbs…
Six of Cups (innocence, childhood, play) Is ignorance really bliss? That’s the question the six of cups makes me ponder this morning. It’s all about childhood innocence and play. When you pull the six of cups, you know you are in for a treat because it tends to hearken back to times of fun and…
Today’s Tarot: King of Rods (Bold, active, creating) The King of Rods doesn’t suffer lazybones gladly. In fact, he strides by those who would sit and do nothing as he creates and achieves. In his mind, there are great deeds to accomplish, great things to invent, and great times to be had. He is active…
Today’s Tarot: Strength (patience, fortitude, inner knowing) Ah, my favorite card in the deck and not just because it depicts a woman lovingly stroking a lion. I’ve always loved this card because its name belies its true meaning. The word strength implies outer, physical strength (think the Chariot card if you want to go in…
Today’s Tarot: Four of Rods. (excitement, celebration, next steps) I love this card (and not just because I love weddings and it’s a card that depicts a wedding bower). It is just so happy. It’s the activity involved in either setting up a celebration or downright partying down. Take a moment today and rest on…
Ah, the laurel wreath, it definitely makes me think of knights emerging victorious from battle. It brings to mind the age of chivalry, and great big deeds and quests. Do we have those nowadays? Do we have our own personal knight’s quests where we have to slay dragons and find the key to open the…
Today’s Tarot: Seven of Cups (Dreams, options, wishes) The seven of cups is one of my favorite cards with one caveat and it’s that old chestnut, “be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.” The card shows up when we have options (and sometimes don’t even know what those are) and…
Today’s Tarot: The Fool (Hope, blank slate, leap of faith) The Fool is the zero card in the deck. He is the instant before the beginning. He is the spark, the glimmer of the thought. He stands at the edge of the Earth and then joyfully leaps into the void of the unknown. He is…
Today’s Tarot: Ten of Rods (Struggle, Movement, Motion) Have you ever felt like just packing up all your toys and going home? Sometimes, after struggling to make something work or to make your square peg fit into something else’s round hole, or just to pretend long enough and hard enough that you actually care about the…
Today’s Tarot: The High Priestess. (Secrets, Internal awareness, Independence) In my mind, there are two big archetypical women in the deck. The first is the Empress, who represents the caring, mothering aspect. Then, there is the High Priestess who represents the strong, independent aspect. She holds herself to herself, knows what she wants, and gets…
