Card of the Day, 9 July, 2019

Three of Pentacles

Keywords:  Teamwork, Collaboration

This card for me means you are set to reach any goal.  You have that team, that support system in place and you can tackle anything that is in front of you.  You will be successful, because of the support system.  

Teamwork makes the dream work! The seeds of your ideas are taking root as you make the moves to grow and expand. Collaboration with like-minded souls is a must for inspired success. Everyone offers their different skills to the table, which makes the project even better. There is synergy among all of you, together working toward your common goal of creating amazing and meaningful work. Build a team with those who have talents that would complement yours, for example, like finding an analytical person to partner with an artistic person. The yin and yang of your combined strengths and weaknesses will allow learning and growth from each other to create a trinity effect. As the Beatles said, “I get by with a little help from my friends.”

The Eight of Pentacles

Keywords:  Hustle, Grit, Craftmanship

Here we see a person hard at work, honing their craft.  With all that hard work, good things happen.  So we are back to the work week after that long Holiday break.  Time to get back to the swing of things.  

"Crafting your artistry takes passion, patience, and grit. Learning by doing is exactly what you’re up to right now. You’re completely focused on absorbing new skills and mastering your chosen craft. Hustle and commitment are what give you your edge, and you are dedicated to achieving the best job possible. Building a new skill
or breadth of work is time-consuming, however, you know that it will be worth it in the end. Keep on chugging! Your patience, commitment, focus, and dedication are put to the test, but you are surely up for the challenge. Day by day you get better and better, knowing that your skills will build up over time. The more you apply yourself, the more rewarding it feels seeing where you started and how far you’ve come."

The Seven of Wands

Keywords:  Challenge, Perseverance, Protection

For this card I always see a person standing their ground.  When they are up against it they are holding their own and then some.  You are in a good spot, just don't let that go to your head. 

"The Seven of this suit generally shows a person who is nearly always successful in working his or her will in the world. This is a person who is truly gifted, standing head and shoulders above the rest. This person is sets standards and sets examples that exceed previous conceptions of what is possible.

Beware of conceitedness that can be hinted at by this card. Being successful does not make you invincible, and it does not protect you against errors! Enjoy your "fifteen minutes of fame" and then get back to your tasks, or your head will swell, to the detriment of your ability to succeed again."

I decided to change up the deck I'm using for the card of the day.  I'll probably go a week with this deck then switch again.  I have so many decks.  The Wild Unknown got me to stop reading about doing readings for people and actually DOING them.  This deck is the Mystic Mondays deck and I just got it.  I immediately fell in love with the imagery and have had a couple of really good readings with it.  

Card of the Day, 6 July, 2019

The Chariot

Keywords:  Achievement, Triumph, Control, Willpower

This card shows that you are in control of your life. You are directing your energy to where you need it to go.  You are focused on the job at hand and have the strength to accomplish the task.  

"The Chariot shows the importance of mastering the way you present yourself to the world. This card is sometimes associated with ego, and while the term ‘ego’ has a bad reputation, the truth is that having a healthy ego is really important. Having a strong idea of who we are as an individual is essential to our ability to be authentic, to set goals, and to live our lives the way that is right for us. This is a card of autonomy, of your ability to choose how to show up in your life.

The card is black and white, with the exception of the red corners. The red here is bolder, unlike some of the more watered down colors we’ve seen in earlier cards. The use of color here is more commanding. Red is a color of confidence and assurance. Four is a number of stability, and the positioning of the color in the four corners shows the self-control associated with the Chariot.

The body of the horse becomes less and less detailed towards the bottom of the card. This shows that The Chariot can channel external as well as internal energy and direct it through her own determination. For better or for worse, the Chariot is so focused on the task at hand that nothing else seems to matter. There is a singular determination at work in this card."
