This is one card that I really like to see showing up reversed. In its upright position it means ruin, rock bottom, the worst. It also means that it can’t get any worse. It can only get better after this. But when this card shows, the stress can be unbearable.
On the Robin Wood card, the person can look like he’s trying to get up sometimes. It is so in this case. At least I hope it is so. In the reversed position, the worst is over. The healing has started. The heavy burden probably made reality super clear that there’s no way to not make it better. There’s no more delusions and self-pity. Time to get up. The sun is rising, pushing the dark clouds away. The worst may not seem to be over, yet. But it will get better.
Oh, almost forgot. I did get a glimpse of Death while shuffling. But I turned it ove so quickly that I didn’t take note if it was upright or reversed. Silly me. When I get some time later, I’ll look at the weekly reading and see if I can get anything else.

Wands. They love to show up in my daily readings. It is going to be a busy. Roll up the sleeves and get down to it. Variety of activities await me. Just have to get through them.
None of the wands on this card gives illumination. When you have too much going on, it’s hard to see the way.

First, I did a reading on Saturday but the post was saved as a draft. Duh! I skipped Sunday. We head out real early in the morning and didn’t have time to get a card. Oh well.
I got Three of Wands reversed today. Sort of opposite of Nine of Cups from Saturday’s reading. I feel that this is more “missing the boat” than “ship not coming in”. It seems that the person sets his sights too far into the distance and missing the boats. The age of the person seems important too. And he’s an older gentleman. Have I missed the Nine of Cups? Hope not. I know what I wish for the most at the moment.

Nine of Cups, Two of Swords, The Moon
First, they are all upright! hehe OK, Nine of Cups, wish comes true. The man in the card has everything he wants. I feel that there’s more than enough, and he’s willing to share with others. He is dressed richly with clothes embroidered in gold thread. He wears purple to show his royalty, his status. He also wears red to show his courage. The riches did not just pop in his lap. This is through hard work. Since I really get a sense of sharing, I think this involves more than just one individual.
Two of Swords, difficult choices, best to listen to your heart when making such decision. Somehow I am drawn to the background in the picture. It goes further and further into the ocean. The further it gets, the more difficult to see. But I think something needs to be looked at carefully. Dig deeper before choosing. The new moon shines on the swords. Inner wisdom will shed light of truth.
The Moon. It has shown up several times within a short period. It reveals the wild side. Rather, it draws out the wild side. Misty mountains in the background. It’s not a time for normal senses. Because they cannot provide clarity in this situation. Use one’s instinct. What is it that always feel right? Feel it and use it. But don’t go too out of control.

I see that I am still Wands happy. Except it’s a reversed Wand. My first thought is, “can’t get started.” I also feel that the deep blue sapphire crystal at the bottom of the wand, now on the top in reversed position, seems prominent. A quick check with Robin Wood’s description of the card. She said that it is the energy of the night time, rest and regeneration. It really clicks with me. Naturally, I think back to the weekly three-card reading. Ah ha! Ten of Wands Reversed at the last position. Put these two together. I get a clear picture. Not sure if it is good though. 
Working hard is not for today. But I won’t let that be an excuse for goofing off.
While shuffling, Temperance popped out. Everything in moderation. Meditation and calm. And Nine of Cups Reversed caused a little bit of problem for shuffling. Hmmm…
(Major arcana images grabbed from this Wikipedia page, minor arcana images from this page. I use Robin Wood Tarot which has different imagery. This is just to give you an idea of the card.)
