I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Quality of Care

From the Hidden Realm Tarot, the Three of Wands; from the Heart of Faerie Oracle, Temptation:

The Three of Wands card represents a return on efforts expended: a couple finally gets a chance to adopt a child; multiple job interviews eventually result in employment; an overseas service man or woman gets released from duty to return home. These moments are filled with relief and gratitude, hope and enthusiasm for the future. The Temptation card, however, suggests a moment when our desires override our common sense or when our emotions drown out our ability to be rational. We forget the joy of what we have and reach desperately for what we don't. We no longer want an adopted child, we want one that sleeps through the night. We aren't satisfied with our job because our boss always correct us more than he praises us. The military spouse needs to go back overseas because they create more domestic duties which take up more time. Rather than feeling discontent, perhaps it is time to consider the words of Frank Sonnenberg: "If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, chances are it’s getting better care."

    1. I imagine if we walked on the other side for a bit we would find it's not really better than where we are.
