The Daily Draw: The Eight of Cups

We come into this life to experience it. We seek out the kind of experiences we desire. Sometimes they come easy, and sometimes we have to put in some effort to get where we want to go. Think for example of the clichéd home-town hero football star and the cheerleader, king and queen of theContinue reading “The Daily Draw: The Eight of Cups”

The Daily Draw: Seven of Pentacles

Sometimes you can get so focused on a project that you can forget to poke your head up and see where you are. Are you making progress or were you spending time and energy getting virtually nowhere? No matter how much you enjoy the process (and that’s a good thing) you do need to reviewContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Seven of Pentacles”

The Daily Draw: The Hanged Man

My three year old daughter sings a song that goes something like “We’re so busy buzzing bees”. I have this stuck in my head to the tune of the Sex Pistols “Pretty Vacant” (We’re so busy/Oh so busy/Busy buzzing bee-ees). If I sing it that way, it’s pointed out “that’s not right”. But to meContinue reading “The Daily Draw: The Hanged Man”

The Daily Draw: Ace of Pentacles

When I see this card come up it’s very tempting to think, “Money! Money! Money!”, especially in these economic times. And the Ace of Pentacles can certainly be an indicator of prosperity, a successful phase in a new or current business venture, for example. But to focus solely on that aspect of this energy isContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Ace of Pentacles”

The Daily Draw: Ten of Wands

Much of the writing I’ve seen about this card focuses on the negative, but to me this is kind of a good news, bad news card. The good news is you’re being effective, you’re able to carry your own weight (and then some), you’re making progress, you’re somehow managing with everything you take on. TheContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Ten of Wands”

The Daily Draw: King of Swords

I‘ve drawn this card from time since I started my most recent technical documentation position nearly three years ago, and each time it signalled the start of a period where I was able to make great progress. My day job involves writing customer documentation about in-development products that are either designed to perform a newContinue reading “The Daily Draw: King of Swords”

The Daily Draw: Nine of Swords, Reversed

I could start off with an examination of what we mean by “positive” and “negative” emotions and whether emotions deserve such labels, but I’m going to skip that abstract PC conversation and cut straight to the chase. I’m pretty sure that if I say “negative emotions”, most people are going to be in the ballparkContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Nine of Swords, Reversed”

The Daily Draw: The Lovers

Well, this looks a lot more promising for lovers than yesterday’s draw (Two of Cups, reversed). In fact, could we get more literal? Where the Two of Cups represents a mutual attraction and connection, The Lovers speaks of a relationship where there is a deep, spiritual connection. We’re talking the full chakric scale here. WithContinue reading “The Daily Draw: The Lovers”
