The Tarot Of The Beauty Pageant Winner
I plan a post on the Tarot of The Beauty Pageant Winner and by an amazing coincidence the winner of Miss America is crowned at the same time. I must have been picking up the vibes in the air somehow. More importantly, I finally have a clear enough head to write a post two days in a row, whoo-hoo, now that really is something worth celebrating. Let’s get stuck into it shall we?
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
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?
Saturday Night Fight Club: Three Of Cups Vs Four Of Wands
There have been lots of special events at my house this week (hence my absence for the last few days) which has inspired me to revisit the difference between two Tarot cards that represent celebrations taking place: the Three Of Cups versus the Four Of Wands.
Six Of Wands: Winning!
I had another go at intermittent fasting today. You can tell that I’m keen to make this a regular part of my eating plan. As I said the science behind it is solid. And I drink a LOT of milky tea each day so I just want to give my body a break a couple of times a week. Also, I went clothes shopping last night and it was depressing being forced to buy size 14 instead of size 12 and large instead of medium. Not that I’m panicking about weight or anything but I do want to be healthy.
Instead of starting my fast after breakfast I timed it from my last cup of tea last night. I also had some green tea to help me through the day. I’ve always enjoyed drinking green tea at Asian restaurants but never found a brand I liked to drink at home before. Yesterday I brought one from a tea store I trust and the women who sold it to me said the key was not to pour boiling water onto the tea but to add some cold water to the pot first. And voila, for the first time ever I made drinkable green tea.
I didn’t make it to the 24 hour mark but I did hold out till 6 o’clock which is about 20 hours. And as far as I’m concerned that’s winning. I’m not a masochist or anything. It’s important to cherish the small victories in life, don’t you think? Have you had any recently?
Five Of Wands: The Return Of Big Brother
Yeah yeah I know I shouldn’t but one of my guilty pleasures is watching the television show Big Brother. I find it fascinating. It’s like observing a science experiment. Seeing how people react when locked up in a cage together. Usually the producers choose the same demographic, i.e. good looking people in their 20s, and the kissing games and conversations about the opposite sex start to get old really quickly. But still, I watch.
Big Brother Australia 2013 started tonight and I was pleasantly surprised by Continue reading
Tarot Thoughts On Blogging
So, I’ve been blogging for a while now and thought I’d explore my experience through Tarot cards…
The Tarot Of Game Of Thrones Season Two
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.
