The Magician, Ace of Cups - Joie De Vivre Tarot
Release the need to be in control and make things happen. Embrace your higher self. Surrender and let love flow to and through you.

Ten of Pentacles - Revelations Tarot
This card reflects how I feel today after a walk with my oldest daughter in a chilly light drizzle, cooking and playing a game with my other daughters, and a nice phone conversation with my husband: accomplished, hopeful, happy, grateful.

5 of Pentacles Reversed - Revelations Tarot
Ah! A light at that financial tunnel, and as it turns out, this is absolutely true. Remember I mentioned that home repair project we couldn't quiet afford? Well, we have received a gift that will cover the cost of it. Grateful!

Five of Cups - Revelations Tarot
Instead of beating yourself up for mistakes of the past or crying over your empty cups, hold onto what you have and move on. This card is the reason I came home and made a healthy lunch instead of buying a Polish sausage and diet coke after my Costco shopping trip.
I decided not to shoot the second arrow.

Ace of Swords-Joie De Vivre Tarot
After looking at this card for a few minutes today something jumped out at me. I saw the crown on the tip of the sword which made me think of the King of Swords. If the Ace is the beginning of a cycle, a new idea or fresh inspiration and powerful energy, and the King represents mastery and success at achieving goals, then the nod to the King in Siddaleahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12374026627556447276noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204320796597023568.post-40674503818603361852017-03-02T11:54:00.000-08:002017-03-03T14:26:01.937-08:00Adulting is Hard
Six of Cups - Joie De Vivre Tarot
Today I pulled the six of cups, and I'm not sure how that relates to my current situation, if it relates, except that I am a bit tired of adulting. It's funny that, "adult," has become a verb in the new millennium.

Funny. Here I am after almost one year of absence. I've been thinking for a few weeks about getting back to blogging, and I recently decided to add a card a day and journaling to my morning routine again. How perfect is it that I drew the Ace of Wands?

Queen of Pentacles - Tarot of the Magical Forest
When I draw the Queen of Pentacles for myself I always think of taking care of my family, but the queen from this deck really captures what I am feeling today when I look at her. Doesn't she look a little tired, the way she is sort of hunched over her large coin?

Queen of Coins - Joie De Vivre Tarot
was an accurate reflection of my life right now. The picture on this card of the multi-handed Queen holding onto her heart while comforting her companion speaks to me.

First I asked if there was, indeed, life after death. I pulled The Four of Cups.

Interesting. I could interpret this card as advising me that my focus on death and whether or not we go on afterwards is causing me to miss the life around me, and that is a Siddaleahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12374026627556447276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204320796597023568.post-49470095940235088242016-02-18T12:44:00.000-08:002016-02-18T13:19:39.203-08:00Living
The Fool - Joie De Vivre Tarot
When I see the fool I tend to think, "Trust," and "Go for it," even when I don't know what it is. I do have a sense that there is something coming my way or that I'm headed in a new direction, but I have no idea what or where. Still, I'm immensely grateful for the new hope and inspiration after a period of depression.

The Magician - Joie De Vivre Tarot
Whenever this card comes up for me the thought that pops into my head is, "You make the magic happen, Baby!" This is a shift from The Hanged Man/Six of Swords/Four of Swords--wait and see, hang in there, you are in transition cards I've been getting until now, and I can definitely feel a shift in my energy as well.

I was up most of the night feeling anxious. Again. I've actually been depressed and anxious since the beginning of October. There have been several major stresses in my life during these months, and that together with my seasonal affective disorder, together with my generalized anxiety disorder have had me in quite a state.
I'm not ignoring it. I've had a Siddaleahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12374026627556447276noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204320796597023568.post-68526324288114681622016-02-04T10:27:00.001-08:002016-02-04T10:27:28.390-08:00Rest and Retreat
Four of Swords - Joie De Vivre Tarot
The beginning of this week was rough, lots of anxiety, for a variety of reasons, but I'm feeling calmer now; calm but exhausted.
This card is perfect. I had already started my day gently by spending forty minutes reading in bed before getting up. It felt nice, and I was almost tempted to feel guilty about it. Almost.

The Hanged Man - Joie De Vivre Tarot
This has been a rough week for me. I breathed a sigh of relief when I drew this card. It seemed to say, "Hang in there baby! You don't have to make any big moves right now, just rest in yourself for a while."

Four of Cups - Joie De Vivre Tarot
These feelings of anxiety are real, and yet, I know I am creating them with my thoughts. The feelings of isolation and, at times, hopelessness are also all too real, but that is because I'm living in my head, depending too much on my thoughts. Outside of this box are family and friends reaching out, close enough for me to touch, if only I would.

Five of Coins - Joie De Vivre Tarot
The Five of Pentacles is one of my least favorite cards to see in a reading, but this version of it offers hope that I don't see as readily in other versions. That's why the Joie De Vivre Tarot is one of my favorite decks. I always choose it when I need a loving, gentle voice.

Six of Swords - Joie De Vivre Tarot
I drew the Six of Swords two days in a row. It's a comforting card to me because I've always seen the swords on the shore as troubling thoughts, and the swan is carrying her, me, through calm waters to a brighter shore, leaving those thoughts behind.

Eight of Coins - Joie De Vivre Tarot
I woke up extra tired today, and I was feeling no part of my new morning routine. I'm still playing with it; trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. I decided to skip the yoga, even though it's just a quick stretch. I was just too tired.
I sat down and pulled the Eight of Coins and the phrase that came to mind was, "Hard work yields results," Siddaleahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12374026627556447276noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204320796597023568.post-78841803449515395932016-01-27T11:07:00.000-08:002016-01-30T13:44:55.592-08:00The Greatest Love of All
The Lovers - The Joie De Vivre Tarot
I've decided to draw a card a day again. It's been a while since I had a daily tarot practice, but I'm changing up my morning routine and testing different things to develop one that works for me.
Today I drew The Lovers and it's interesting to me that the entry for today in Mark Nepo's The Book of Awakening is about loving ourselves first; Siddaleahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12374026627556447276noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204320796597023568.post-65658554857680175132014-07-03T20:44:00.001-07:002014-07-03T20:44:33.802-07:00A Rut

This is a good reading for me right now as I have found myself in a negative thinking rut.
