Yo Girl, Which Queen Are You?

Posted on October 12, 2012 by tanlee3

Court cards are complicated. I’m talking page, knight, queen and king. They seem to have a lot of different meanings which I’m still coming to grips with. One of the things they can definitely represent is people. People you know or you yourself. I thought it would be fun to take a tongue-in-cheek look at the Queen cards and guess what kind of woman they would be in real life. Keep in mind that Queens represent the epitome of womanhood for each suit. They’re not girls they’re mature women in their prime.

Five of Wands: Problems To The Front And Problems To The Back Of You

Posted on October 5, 2012 by tanlee3

This is the Five of Wands card. As you can see, five people are each holding a wand with which they jostle one another. No one has the upper hand. I’ve always thought that this card referred to competition in the workplace. You know, cause wands represent our skills and talents. And also cause work feels like this don’t you reckon? There’s always office politics. Stuff going down.

But right now I’m experiencing a different shade to this card. Continue reading →

Eight of Wands Reversed: A Kick Up The Bum!

Posted on September 7, 2012 by tanlee3

Sometimes when you are reading the cards they turn up upside down. There are some Tarot teachers who ascribe a different meaning to the card when it does. Personally, I’ve never paid much attention to upside down cards but it is certainly interesting to contemplate the possibilities.

If the Eight of Wands means you are about to see progress for your efforts when it’s upright maybe when it’s upside down it means it’s time for you to put in a lot of effort. It’s a kick up the bum in other words. You need to shoot those wands (your skills and talents) up into the sky, put them out into the world, if you want to see progress.

The Eight of Wands: Christmas for Grown Ups!

Posted on September 6, 2012 by tanlee3

I love getting the Eight of Wands but it doesn’t happen often. This card means things are going to happen for you quickly. Look at the imagery. Eight wands are flying down to earth. Buds blossom from the wood. The land is green and fertile primed for new growth.

Once you get into your 30s and 40s life becomes pretty dull and routine. Not that this is a bad thing, I love my dull routine. But it’s good to have something change every once in a while. Keeps you on your toes. And with the Eight of Wands it’s change that you have actually been working towards. The sky suddenly opens up in an area of your life where things have felt stalled. It’s like receiving a gift. Like Christmas for grown ups.

I’m working towards publishing novels. That is the Eight of Wands change I am seeking in my life. What about you? What would you like to grow?
