Today I have Five of Wands Reversed and Four of Cups. Yes, I decided to go back to 2-card readings. This time I designate the first card to the theme/vibe of the day, and the second card to influences that can help or hinder for the day. So, it seems that today I might let the things overwhelm me and lose clarity. I have an inkling what that is. There is one major project that I need to do today, and it does involve many different components. I need to keep focus and not end up withdrawing into myself feeling sorry about what I might not accomplish today. Look at the bigger picture. There are accomplishments to be proud of and to encourage oneself to stay focused.

Added 4:08pm – OK, so I really underestimated the time I needed for this project, a website using CMS. Kind of regret losing some valuable time in the beginning of the project. Take a deep breath. There’s still a week before deadline. Even if I can’t present something today, I still have time. Breathe. But I do feel like kicking myself!

Whoa! That’s quite an u-turn from yesterday. Are we regressing? Clinging on the past a little today. Well, maybe more than a little. Coupled with the Nine of Swords, hanging onto the negative repetitive pattern is not good. Do not look back. The emotional stress is not better than the unknown future. Doors won’t open if you don’t continue moving on the path.

This sounds like a warning to me. (Nervous laugh)

Two of Wands, Eight of Cups

Hey. Looking good today. But I have to tell you that my mind wasn’t quite focused on just you, M. So, this can be anything. But that’s no news, right?

Two of Wands, a good grasp on one’s situation. Well prepared, security. Positive, reasonable result can be expected. Once again there is balance, and growth can happen. Eight of Cups, journey into the mysteries. It’s not into the total unknown. The goal is enlightenment. Just that the road is not completely clear. This card is about leaving behind what’s established, which is somehow lacking, incomplete. There’s an urge to move on, to go to what’s meaningful. It’s a journey of courage.

Sounds good?

Six of Wands reversed, no victory march. A project that you expect to be finished is delayed. Ten of Cups reversed, disharmony, family disagreement. In the book it says rebellious behavior from children. Oh boy. Both cards do feature children in the pictures. Childlike happiness maybe replaced with childish behavior. I know what day it is today. I hope it goes well, M.

Well, I won’t be surprised if it is my family that’s having problems. Ha!

Hmmm… Maybe I have locked-in on you, now? I did take care of a few things yesterday and now feel less weight on my shoulders. Only temporary solutions. But should be OK for a few weeks.

Five of Cups reversed, end of grieving what was lost. Picking up what’s left and moving on. Realizing that all is not lost. Obsessing over what’s lost doesn’t do any good. Moving on. Three of Cups, no reason to celebrate. This card is associated with art, music and craft. A good party after success. But it’s reversed. You feel no reason to celebrate.

All Cups today. Watch the emotions.

Three of Pentacels again, and this time reversed. This must mean a unproductive day. Poor craftsmanship. Actually, I feel very tired today. Can use a nap, but I doubt that I will do that.

Ace of Cups shows water overflowing from a beautiful cup into a lotus pond. Love, sharing, kindness. But today it’s reversed. I feel that the sharing is turned off today. loneliness. Depression. This card has been showing up repeatedly. Upright mostly, but reversed sometimes. The up and down of the emotions is very clear. I have many cards showing up repeatedly in recent days. Yes. I’ve been doing readings that I’m not sharing publicly. Just not feeling typing out the whole thing. Especially when it involves many cards in a spread.

Three of Cups, a party card, a celebration of  the arts. My immediate feeling when I saw the reversed card was, “no cause for celebration”. Which has been true for a while. But the meaning in the book indicates excess, addiction, wallowing in emotions. Which can also be true. There is a need to get out of the emotional rut.

Three of Pentacles, master craftsman, putting talent to good use. Sounds good to me. Can this mean work? Or maybe craft? I sure like seeing Pentacles though.

Six of Swords reversed, unable to leave trouble behind. Unable to resolve the problem. Knight of Cups shows up just in time to offer emotional support. Someone who’s not afraid to offer his love. His caring may offer a relief from worries of things not progressing fast enough.

Court cards!! And no Pentacles. I’d like to see some good Pentacles cards, please! : sigh : Page of Cups, a stirring of the imagination, new artistic idea. An inspiring day. The King of Swords reversed is another story. Brute force, cruelty, unfairness. I think I know who the King is. Have to tell CB to avoid him today.

While shuffling, Four of Wands popped out. Something is accomplished. A time to rejoice and relax. Oh, I think this is a client’s web project.

Note, 3:23pm, Page of Cups maybe a great idea coming from CB’s rector. An opportunity that will definitely involve design. If it becomes a reality, it may involve other churches in the States. Interesting, Cups seem to be the more spiritual suite. And here we are talking about doing things with churches.

Sounds like a emotional day. Not sure how to take this. Four of Cups reversed shows an awareness to assistance that was ignored before. This is good. Instead of feeling unsatisfied over things already tarnished, things passed their prime, there’s a reaching out to others, to offers of help.

In the case  of King of Cups reversed, it shows insecurity, emotional turbulence. Possibility of someone playing on another’s feelings. Deception. How do these two cards play together??? Beware of offers that sound too good to be true?
