It’s the day after the election here in Australia and while most peeps are probably nursing a hangover after celebrating the win or the loss I thought I’d have a look at the Tarot Of Elections.

Seven Of Swords: Being Spammed!
Doh!
I got sucked into the spammer’s lair. They snuck in through the back door and took advantage of my newbie-on-the-blog-block ignorance to trick me into accepting their comments. It was vanity what done me in. Continue reading
Ten Of Wands: Overloaded
I know, I know. I haven’t been posting much in recent weeks. Like the bloke in the Ten Of Wands card above I’ve been a tad overloaded and my brain has been drained of words. There’s been nothing left for this blog at the end of the day. Nada.
The thing about the Ten Of Wands is that usually the person carrying the heavy load has brought some of their burden on themselves. So yes, my control freak nature probably doesn’t help when times are tough. Although I like to think of it as going the extra mile, lol.
But things can’t go on being intense forever. As they say: This too will pass. Remember that the next time you pull the Ten Of Wands out of the pack and see what you can do yourself to lessen the load.
Four Of Wands: Celebrating TTT One Year Anniversary
Yay! I started this blog on wordpress exactly one year ago and look how much we’ve grown. After 300 posts there are now 88 subscribers and 830 peeps hooked up to the Facebook page. It’s a pleasure and an honour to have the company of each and every one of you. Feel free to join in the conversation any time. Cheers, tan
Six Of Cups: A Walk Down Memory Lane
The scene portrayed in this card looks kind of unreal. Like a dream. There’s all those golden colours for a start. And the lead characters are unusual. Can you see how small they look compared to the cups? And what is that funny hat the boy is wearing? They put me in mind of the Little People of myth and legend. Either that or they’re children. The castle guard and thatched cottage in the background only adds to the whole fairytale feel. This card whisks you back to the past, back to childhood.
Knight Of Swords: Having A Rant
I reckon if any Tarot card symbolized ‘having a rant’ it would have to be the Knight Of Swords. Look at him, charging off in that reckless manner. I’m in the mood for a rant tonight. Deep breath, here goes…

Seven Of Wands: Aaaaaaaaaah! Technology!
Don’t you hate it when it’s late and you’re tired and you just need to print off a couple of things for work tomorrow but the $#!@ printer refuses to work. That happened to me tonight. Lights were flashing on the bleeping machine but I couldn’t work out what they meant. The printer might as well have been speaking an alien language. The instruction booklet was written in Mandarin so that was useless. But the thing was I really really really needed to print off those pages.
There’s nothing for it when technology goes on the blink but to work through the problem as logically and calmly as you can. And never ever ever give up. Because hacking into the printer with an axe is never going to solve the situation (although it’s tempting to do it anyway.) Dealing with technology is very much a Seven Of Wands situation. You just have to keep battling on until you find the answer. Thank God for Google that’s all I can say.
Does technology ever push you over the edge?
Ten Of Swords: Nothing In the Tank
Haven’t written on this blog for a few days and figured I should say something but nope, I got nothing in the tank. We’re halfway through the school term and my brain is beginning to melt from processing the million things I need to remember to do my job well, my youngest daughter just had her birthday and made her deb, my eldest has needed help keeping track of some medical appointments, I’ve been chatting to someone on an online dating site (as you do when you’re single, nah, actually, it’s really rare for me, but why not?) and I’ve been trying to manage some minor renovations, not to mention get rid of those $#*!? rats in the roof. Sigh. I’m mentally fried.
Anyone else out there know that feeling?
Nine Of Cups: The Smug Bastard
We had a look at this card for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Let’s review what was said:
Nine Of Cups: A well-fed well-dressed middle-aged man sits in front of nine golden cups arranged in an orderly fashion on a fancy tablecloth. His face wears an expression of satisfaction and his arms are crossed as if to say, ‘Don’t touch. They’re mine.’ Here is someone who’s satisfied with their lot and doesn’t want to change a thing. This is the wishes-come-true card. The accomplishment of one’s deepest desires. Partner, job, children, house…all sorted. This is the cat who’s got the cream.
But it can also be the card of the smug bastard. Someone who’s so content with their lot they refuse to change a thing even when they need to. Even when it makes others unhappy.
Do you have any smug bastards in your life?
