Three of Pentacles Reversed, Nine of Swords Reversed

Remember, I am not calling whose cards they are until I gain my focus back. But I do ask the cards to show yours. We’ll see.

Three of Pentacles reversed. I really get a stronger sense that this is about incomplete work, not using one’s talent. Maybe lack of recognition of one’s accomplishment. Nine of Swords reversed. Remember this? The nightmare, the stress is coming to an end. No more running in circles inside one’s own mind. Uncovering one’s eyes. Seeing the truth? Seeing a way?

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.

Oh brother! Can I say that this doesn’t look like a good day? I do not want to deal with a Queen of Wands teversed. Not a person I need to face right now. Super ambitious and willing to do anything to achieve her goals. Selfish and jealous. Inside her there’s a dark fire burning. She does not shy away from telling lies.

Three of Wands reversed, boats not coming in. Actually, maybe watching the boats sailing away, leaving a great disappointment. :: sigh ::

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.

This makes sense. I had an eventful weekend at the temple. Today I am just going to take a break. On Robin Wood’s card it shows three dancers. Past, Present and Future. I tend to focus on the Present. The red flower on her dress catches my attention. Red is for courage and passion. Looks like I’ll be enjoying activities that I feel passionate about. I am thinking… knitting!

The card shows a celebration. Happiness and enjoyment. It also has an art theme. Things done with passion, which bring much satisfaction.

Three of Wands, Queen of Wands, Six of Cups

Looking positive here. I don’t have much time this morning. So I’ll quickly go through them and maybe come back if I have more.

Three of Wands, ships come in. Hopefully this is work related. Hopefully this means that what was delayed finally arrives. We sure do need that. Queen of Wands, a passionate woman. Motherly type. The black cat can represent home life. She enjoys making a happy home. I hope, hope that this is someone that I’ve been looking for to care for my mother. Mom is a lung cancer patient and needs full time assistance. Six of Cups, good old days. Everything looks rosy on the card. In fact, if you look at it closely, it looks a little like an illustration out of a children’s book. Not everything is realistic. The mind has a way of looking pass some of the negatives. But still, this can mean a moment of peace and happiness. Just don’t let it cloud the mind.

It’s a celebration! That’s exactly what it feels like right now. The dancer of the “future” is in focus today. A toast to a bright future! Birds flying in the cloudless sky. There’s a sense of freedom. I also know for a fact that a craft project will be completed today.

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.

How interesting. What can this mean today? Out of the three dancers on the Three of Cups, the “present moment” stands out more for me today. She represents courage and growth. She holds hands with the “past” because that’s how she ends up being “in the moment”. Three of Cups is a celebration of good work done. Work is done and you can afford to have a little fun. Emotional fulfillment.

Note, 1.24.2007, 11:56am, I made a mistake yesterday. The dancer of “the present” wasn’t holding hands with “the past”. It was “the future”. If I paid attention to the phases of the moon on each dancer’s cup, I wouldn’t had made that mistake.

Note, 1.26.2007, 4:44pm, this is another confusing one. Gosh, I should’ve done this note earlier. One thing that stood out in the memory was that I checked the book after a while and found that Three of Cups could also represent renewal of health. That sort of clicked at that moment. Looking back, I felt great that day. I thought I completely recovered from whatever illness I caught on Sunday. It returned the next day, but I truly had a great day on Tuesday. I did a lot of knitting.
