Three card daily reading

Insert picture

Card 1. Eight of Swords – Bound by Fear – self-imposed limits – afraid to try something new

Card 2: Self-reliance

Card 3: Back into action

Reflection: 1) There is someone in my life that I have cared about for a long time. We have been friends for years. I love spending time with him, but telling him how I feel or exploring things has been something I have been terrified of. Today, I heard some news that was good but made me contemplate things.

2) Self-Reliance – It took a lot to get myself out the door and to work on time. I was the first one at the meeting and accomplished most of what I wanted today.

3) Back into Action – Today was an on your toes type of day. I responded to two emergencies and kept moving the whole day.

The cards are connected to each other and the day. Card 1’s focus drifted in and out of my day. Still it lingers with me. Card 2 and 3 intertwined throughout the work day. Together they make sense although the first card seems to be more pressing as it is the one that took up much of my spare thoughts.

Reading Type: A person messaged me on Instagram and requested a reading. Their question was whether the man they love would propose marriage. I advised them that this is a yes or no question which I could do with single card or I could do something more nuanced for them. They requested the yes/no reading. Here are the results.

Three of Wands – Reversed – Wands is the suit representing the element of fire. This card represents – Attainment slips away – unrealistic goals. – In short, I am sad to say that the answer is no at this time. As with any tarot reading, the outcome of the reading can and does change.

Advice – Things are not developing as you want. It may be a good time to sit down and have a conversation about the goals of your relationship with him. Your partner may not be on the same page or not ready for the page but still sees it as a possibility.

Reflection

Today is the four anniversary of Papa’s death. It is hard to really comprehend how his death has transformed my life and the lives of my family. I wasn’t sure how I was going to make it through the day or really what I should do. He is buried about five hours away and so visiting his grave really wasn’t an option.

In addition to that weight, there were a lot of things that I needed to do around the house including grocery shopping and cleaning. Things that I never time for during the work week. A long list and a distracted mind don’t bode well for a productive day.

Card 1 – The energy was there in the end, I didn’t accomplish everything on the list but I knocked enough off that the day accomplished what I needed. My sweetheart stopped by right before I headed out the door for errands and giving my favorite drink of Starbucks, pastries from Corbin’s Bakery (my favorite) and hugs.

Card 2 – Papa died as a result of Liver cirrhosis. As the only person in my immediate family that drinks, I thought about not drinking for the day or the next month. Several times in arguments my sister has accused me of being an alcoholic. However, those options didn’t seem genuine. I thought about it and opted to have my glass of wine with dinner and another as wrote but put the wine away in the cabinet so I won’t be tempted to over indulge.

Card 3 – Loss and grief has played a huge part in my life these last couple of years and months. Losing Papa was expected and hard, losing Ed was unexpected and still at times unbelievable. I’ve learned not to try and move past the grief (i.e. moving on) but instead I’ve focused on adjusting to this new reality. After all, what is grief but proof of loving persevering ~ Wanda Vision.
