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."

Count to Ten (or One Hundred)

From the Rosetta Tarot, the Princess (Page) of Disks; from the Day of the Dead Lenormand, the Whip:


The Princess of Disks is the bearer of Spring; she strikes her rod against the earth to awaken it. She represents the physical world of making and growing, a new cycle of changes and new beginnings. The Whip represents discord and tension, which seems normal anytime multiple people are involved in any kind of development or change. Folks get tired, things don't go as planned, opinions differ, and tempers flare. But when those sparks become a bonfire, nothing gets accomplished because collaboration ends. It might be a good idea for me to heed Tim Gunn's words today: "Take the high road. No matter how much strife, and consternation, frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level." We're back to hurricane reconstruction tomorrow, and I'm having to pack and move everything out of my kitchen and take down everything on the walls then find some place to store it in my small house for a week and a half. They've got to take out a wall (hopefully just one!) and will then rebuild and paint. In a three person, one cat household, I need to remember to pause and breathe deeply.

  1. ooo I hope it is only one and a half weeks! and it will all be so clean and shiny when back in place. We lived out of the fridge and microwave while our cupboards and kitchen were being painted a few years ago. It was worth it!

  2. I moan and groan about Winter and you have hurricanes. We all have to deal with some type of inclement weather. I think it is Mother Natures reminder that she really is in charge. We best remember that. Good luck on the restoration.
