Hmm, interesting. I get this card all the time in my readings yet I’ve barely written about it on this blog. I obviously need to be pay it more attention. One of its meanings is going through hard times. Maybe you’ve lost your job or your income. Maybe you’re struggling to make ends meet. You definitely feel alone with your troubles. Sometimes though it’s more a case of feeling poor than actually living in poverty (cough cough).
If you do get the Five Of Pentacles remember Continue reading
I’ve just woken up from a 12 hour sleep coma, oh the bliss. I’m a big fan of the weekend lie in. I tend to run on empty during the week but I black out Saturday and Sunday mornings on my schedule as much as possible to enable me to stay in bed until I wake. And always feel better for it. Too many people seem to undervalue the therapeutical benefits of a good night’s sleep and don’t factor it into their busy lifestyles. They just grab what rest they can around the edges of their lives. Personally, I think this is a big mistake. Tiredness leads to poor decision making and a loss of enjoyment in life. Or worse. I’ve witnessed first hand how the inability to sleep can be a major factor in mental health issues.
The Four Of Swords card represents time out from the stresses of daily life and nothing gives you a mental pick-me-up quicker than a good night’s sleep. I highly recommend it.
What about you? Are you good at sleeping or terrible at it?
So, I’ve been blogging for a while now and thought I’d explore my experience through Tarot cards…
Hmmm, this rave might make no sense but here I go anyway…
I’ve just been on a mad Game Of Thrones bender. Watched all season two in one long blissful night. So I thought I’d have a go at discussing the Tarot of GOT Season Two. I won’t be able to explain everything, the tapestry is too rich, but will try to pinpoint some of the major themes and characters.
I promised a lovely lady on my Facebook page ages ago that I’d republish all my medical Tarot blogs. Here’s one I found. Sorry it took so long…
I’ve had way more experience of mental health issues in the last few years than I ever wanted to so I thought it might be time to tackle the Tarot of Mental Illness in more depth. Unsurprisingly the cards involved include those in the last section of Life Lessons Tarot (aka the Major Arcana). Note: These cards might turn up reversed in a reading about mental illness.
I used to be scared of the Court Cards but now I’m really starting to enjoy them. You can see certain personality traits in each one.
Now, I don’t want you to think I’m picking on the Queen Of Cups or anything, all of the kings and queens have the potential to be arseholes and bitches when reversed, it’s just that Continue reading
We’re having our fair share of family drama at the moment. My favourite astrologer Mystic Medusa says that the whole world is experiencing what she calls the Zap Zone, i.e. a period of upheaval and change, and that this can be felt on an individual level. And I’m like, well derr, I can see that. I’m not going to go into details, some things are too personal, but I thought in honour of the occasion that I’d suggest the following two cards as being representative of family drama:
My eldest daughter started uni a couple of months back and she is not waving drowning right now, swimming in work assignments. She can hardly keep up. The part-time job she had has gone out the window. Attending lectures is a rare treat. Most of the time she’s just plain bunkered down in her dorm room working through task after task.
And it strikes me that Continue reading
