The Daily Draw: Six of Swords, Reversed

For me, today, I see this card as representative of being emotionally stuck. One aspect of the Six of Swords is a movement away from what was troubling you in the past to calmer waters (quite literally, looking at the RWS deck).  That’s assuming you can get past the past, so to speak. It is humanContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Six of Swords, Reversed”

The Daily Draw: The Magician

I had a lovely three day weekend in Waterford with my partner Trish where we wined, dined, chilled, and watched some rugby. It’s good to be able to get away and stop the treadmill, the constant demands of work, housekeeping , home maintenance, managing the schedules, meals and laundry of small children, the routines thatContinue reading “The Daily Draw: The Magician”

The Daily Draw: Nine of Wands

Once bitten twice shy. The person on the Nine of Wands looks, bitten battered and bruised. It’s been a hard slog and it isn’t over yet. He stands ready to defend his position, momentarily resting against his staff, yet holding it before him awaiting the next conflict. The other eight wands flank him as a protectiveContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Nine of Wands”

The Daily Draw: Two of Cups, Reversed

The two of Cups Reversed tells me that today is a day when awareness, patience, and diplomacy are called for in interpersonal relationships. Mercury is still retrograde. Miscommunication and misunderstanding can occur easily. You might say one thing and the other person might hear something quite different, partially due to their own internal filters andContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Two of Cups, Reversed”

The Daily Draw: Eight of Swords

The first card for this long-delayed latest series of blog posts shows a woman who is prevented from taking any action, making any moves, even looking around her to see where she is. She is restricted, confined, trapped. She’s in a rut of self denial. Say what? OK, sure she’s bound, blindfolded and imprisoned by swords, butContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Eight of Swords”

The Daily Draw: Three of Pentacles, Reversed

The three of pentacles focuses on teamwork, group effort, planning and design, and organizations. So when it’s reversed it’s a good indication that it could be a messy day in any context where you’re not locked in a room working on your own. It could be a day where you need to deal with errorsContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Three of Pentacles, Reversed”

The Daily Draw: The Magician

The Magician and the High Priestess are the yin and yang of the universal life force, the great creator, each a half of the whole. The Magician represents the masculine energy when that force is perceived as split into apparent opposites. He is consciously aware and ready to achieve.  He has the strength of theContinue reading “The Daily Draw: The Magician”

The Daily Draw: Queen of Swords

First off, apologies for disappearing for a week and a half without notice. Sometimes one just has to recharge one’s inspirational batteries. Hope there are no hard feelings. The Queen of Swords tends to take things seriously, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she is serious in nature. She may be the most amusing person inContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Queen of Swords”

The Daily Draw: The High Priestess, Reversed

Some thoughts on Intuition Blocks The energy of the High Priestess is passive, intuitive, secretive, and mysterious. It is full of potential. She is the yin to The Magicians yang – the archetypal feminine energy as opposed to the masculine energy of the magician. She draws on the subconscious where the Magician is focused onContinue reading “The Daily Draw: The High Priestess, Reversed”
