saturday daily

ooh looking, what a different spread than I usually get
Ace of Swords, Empress and 7 of Swords

So, communication, new ideas, perspectives today and that will be true (hopefully!).
The Empress with that nurturing energy, something warm and cosy. Perhaps it refers to how a baby idea of mind will grow into something beautiful.
The 7 of swords reflects that there maybe a tendency to take all the glory, need to keep a level head and just enjoy the day for what it is, no thieving anything (not that I would!).

daily again :)

hello..

Daily cards are.. King of Swords, 5 of Wands and 7 of Pents

Its soo good to see the 7 of pents again. I had a really good day with my studying and getting lots of stuff DONE. I havent really been arsed with getting a lot of uni work done until yesterday when I got all inspired to tart up my portfolio and get lots of work done. And Im going to keep doing it :D

5 of Wands I feel reflects how I do feel like OMG I have so much to do over the next week or so and it can be hard to know which thing to pick up and do at any one time. But I will try to stay level headed

and thats where the King is, he is here saying, keep perspective, keep to some sort of plan and be organised. Heres there to override the OMG ness of panic and stress and will help me get all my work done.

Awesome!

stay grounded, but why?

7 of Pentacles, 6 of Pentacles Knight of Pentacles

oooh pentacle city!
The first card reflects how I am growing, tending my own 'crops'. At the moment this is my change in mood, me getting motivated work wise etc. So I need to keep on this theme.

The 6 of Pentacles reflects something I had from my Heart of Faery reading this morning too, the Gift, that I am still learning what it means to recieve a gift, really recieve it with an open heart without thinking how do I pay it back, and that Im not worthy of it, or whats the catch. Open heart, open mind and freedom.

And the Knight is another character. Slow but steady, dependable, gathering in strength daily day by day. Hes the persona of whats happening. And, I have friends that reflect this. Maybe the knight is part of the Faery gift?! ooooh

But I have a feeling that.. hmmm all these pentacles are reminding me to stay grounded and fixed ready for a change. Perhaps something to sweep me off my feet?!

I pulled another card randomly and got the 10 of cups... awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

space and light

Look at those cards. arent they just gorgeous?! I didnt want to do a CI, because it looked wrong, took away the sheer beauty of those simple cards. It almost makes me want to cry. How a deck full of symbolism, full of layers and meanings can, in 3 little symbols lined one after another demonstrate something so profound. Wow.

The Page of Wands is me getting my mojo back. He even reflects a Guide of mine who really likes to play with clubs, running into things head first and bringing such laughter into it all. I have missed this aspect of me, and last night a shadow of him came back, and today it really has helped me.

The 2 of Cups reflects ya know... I could be heading for some actual loving. but if not then thats ok. I made a friend today, someone I had known but not really my friend till today. We shared a moment. and it was funky. 2 people just connecting.

And the Sun, well ALL HAIL THE SUN. I have missed the sunshine from my being, other people have missed this sunshine from my being (and its been commented on more than once). And well, heres hoping the sun lasts.

All in all... I feel bloody good today, I felt good yesterday but I feel a million miles better today. Things are moving, progressing, shifting.

I dont want to see that 8 of Swords for a while because it was haunting me, reflecting my own captivity in my own ick.

10 of pents MI
Page of Cups SI
King of Cups SI
Base card - Empress

Well, I love how all the courts and the 10 of pents are really working together. Family stuff here (10 of pents) seems to be moving a bit more positive, and the King and Page reflect that, how there is youth and wisdom working together to ease the pains, to make everything gel once again.

And the Empress is so nice to see, how there is love and nurturing energy happening. :)

The Easter Bunny gave me Faeries.

Ok, business first, todays draw

What I know about today - Tower
What I dont know about today - 5 of Cups
Advice - 2 of pents

Ok.. Well I think the Tower is referring to a situation that happened yesterday which folks are still reeling from. And so theres that broken, lost, unknown feeling around the place at the moment.
The 5 of cups, could be about trying to help people find something positive and focus on something healing and useful rather than the cups that have fallen on the floor. Its easy to feel like its the end of the world.

And the 2 of pents, the shape of the arms to me is very womb/chalice like, how to balance, and how sometimes to put your faith in the unknown because thats where fab things grow.



AND....
The easter bunny (ok, maybe a neighbour who had my parcel delivered to them by accident... in a bunny costume lol) put a parcel on my door step that is the Heart of Faerie! Today I pulled The Returning. What a fab card! I dont know what she means but its gorgeous, have a lookie..


And I love the back of the book, so I had to scan it in just so I can look at all the shapes and symbols in it..

full moon spread (a bit late)

OK I know its late, but, well, its been a crazy week. Lots of work, emotional stuff and just not having time! So I hope the Gods can forgive me doing a full moon reading a bit late

1.- What can be seen with clarity, so bright that can even blind you.
2.- What gets completed. What closes a cycle.
3.- What begins to fade away, to darken, to abandon you... or what needs to be.
0.- Yourself. Shadow card, from the base of the deck.



1.- What can be seen with clarity, so bright that can even blind you. 3 of Swords SISo, a card about heartache. However, this card has someone preparing to stab themselves in the chest. I think this is suggesting, I make my own heartache, make things hurt me and then keep poking the scar. What can I say? I have a catholic history LOL.
And I know this, so Im trying to change my mindset, offer myself some love and take down some of the blocks from self inflicted ICK. It didnt occur to me till yesterday that sometimes I block the good stuff from me. And when I started to let it go, let the ick fade away because I was surrounded by such love, light and healing.. well. Puts it all into perspective. Just gotta keep that perspective

2.- What gets completed. What closes a cycle.6 of Cups SI
I think this is linked.. its about not constantly giving of myself, and learning to accept gracefully the gifts that I am offered. Because that is what will make me strong and healed.
Not receive to panic that Im not worthy, not good enough or that I am should give in return. Recieving the blessings given to me with love.

3.- What begins to fade away, to darken, to abandon you... or what needs to be. 8 of swords SI
I think this can be read in two ways. The Figure isnt obviously bound like the usual RWS figure, so they could be creating their worries and pain into defences, barriers, better the pain you know than another...
OR it could be that feeling of being protected, and yet in that finding strength.
I guess it could depend on the swords. I could be transforming my perspective (swordy stuff) from painful barriers to hide behind and crucify myself with, or I could use a barrier to stop the negativity getting to me, so I'm strong behind my defences.

Or maybe its just hiding behind something, and I need to just STOP doing that. Why hide when you have nothing to hide from? Just be bold and filled with love?

0.- Yourself. Shadow card, from the base of the deck. Lovers SI
Oooh I think this is what the Lovers is hinting to. The Heart and YinYang are the WHOLE of the card, that Love, positivity, balance, Divine and romantic love are what should be my main concern and nothing else. The rest will just fit in, without my worrying about it. Let love guide your way and it will appear in your life.

VERY fluffy, but I need some positivity :)

ETA I ended up deciding that to make sure I got some universal love flowing and set myself up a wee crystal grid flowing with Reiki to myself for some love and healing. And it worked.

So did watching Dr Who with people I love and love me :D
