The Daily Draw: Nine of Wands

Thriving Through Challenge It has been a demanding week. A new project that seems to require too much work in too short amount of time, trying to find a new place to live with two weeks left to go (on paper anyway), the usual bustle of living with four small children, two of who areContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Nine of Wands”

The Daily Draw: Four of Pentacles, Reversed

The Four of Pentacles is one of the few cards that I prefer to see reversed. Upright, this card is all about blocking energy and trying to be controlling. With the reversed Four of Pentacles, the control that was once exerted is being lost.

The Daily Draw: The Page of Cups

Open Up to the Gift of the Cup Today as I look at the page of cups what draws my attention most strongly is that this young person is clothed from crown chakra to root chakra in a blue hat scarf and tunic. Blue is  the  color predominantly associated with water, and water is the elementContinue reading “The Daily Draw: The Page of Cups”

The Daily Draw: The Devil, Reversed

So How are Those New Year’s Resolutions Going? In an effort to kick-start my brain this morning I had a look at what I’ve written about this card. I found I was pretty happy with my thoughts about it from a little over a year ago, for example: On the RWS version of this card weContinue reading “The Daily Draw: The Devil, Reversed”

The Daily Draw: Eight of Pentacles, Reversed

Pay Attention to Detail The Eight of Cups is the card of the skilled craftsperson, if not yet the master. So this is someone who is quite knowledgeable in their field with a strong foundation and an awareness of detail, yet this person is still learning. Ideally, aren’t we all? With that in mind, thisContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Eight of Pentacles, Reversed”

The Daily Draw: Ace of Cups, Reversed

The January Blahs The Ace of Cups represents the beginnings of, or gifts stemming from positive emotions, love, spirituality. For example, it might signify the birth of a child, the beginning of a true love relationship, or a deepening of spiritual awareness. This oversized chalice is so full that water pours over the edge likeContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Ace of Cups, Reversed”

The Daily Draw: The Empress

And so two work projects, a Yule, a Christmas and a New Year later, we are back. Getting Back to (My Own) Nature The Empress epitomizes the earth mother type. She is in harmony with nature and keenly aware of all her senses. She is nurturing and supportive. She also represents abundance in its manyContinue reading “The Daily Draw: The Empress”

The Daily Draw: Page of Cups Reversed

Study Your Emotions While pages can represent young people, it is just as likely that a page will represent someone with the qualities of a young person or someone doing things a young person would do, like being a student. Which is a long winded way of saying that, for me, the Page of CupsContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Page of Cups Reversed”

The Daily Draw: Three of Cups Reversed

Push Yourself Out The three of cups has a great energy of community, friendship, high spirits. It’s a perfect card for heading into the festive season. So when it comes up reversed, it’s a sign that something is not right in those areas. Maybe you’ve got a case of the pre-Yule/Christmas blahs. Around these parts,Continue reading “The Daily Draw: Three of Cups Reversed”
