We all have those moments where we want to undo something.
Delete that sent email.
Rewind that conversation.
Reconnect with a lost friend.
Or a previous version of ourselves.
Do you think the desire to turn back time would be captured by this Tarot card…?

My eyes are red and swollen.
I couldn’t stop bawling yesterday.
A beloved character in a TV show died.
Clearly, an over-reaction.
So what happened exactly?
Despite terrible reviews, I’m a big fan of the apocalyptic Netflix show, ‘The Rain’. In the penultimate episode of the entire series, my favourite character, Martin, bit the dust.
He reminded me a lot of my last boyfriend.
Six of Cups: Remembering happy times
Only better!
Knight of Cups: The ideal man
However, my mini-breakdown wasn’t about the character on tv, or even the old boyfriend.
It was about this..
The Fool + Two of Cups: The possibility of relationship
I was distressed that his partner lost the chance to grow old with him.
Which was a reflection of my distress at not having a life partner like him myself.
This is a classic example of this card…
Three of Swords: Opening old wounds
For no good reason, I felt consumed by grief.
Five of Cups: Crying over what you’ve lost, despite the good things in your life
The Three of Swords comes up when you’re reminded of a loss.
Even though you’ve done this…
Eight of Cups: Well and truly moved on
In fact, you feel like this…
Nine of Pentacles: Very content with your life
We all carry wounds in our hearts.
The longer we’ve lived, the more knives to the chest we’ve experienced.
People we’ve loved and lost.
Times when we were hurt deeply.
The important thing is not to be over-whelmed by these injuries.
Not to do this…
King of Cups Reversed: Drown your sorrows
Or this…
Six of Cups Reversed: Lose yourself in nostalgia or fantasy
Or even this…
The Moon Reversed: Succumb to a drug fuelled haze.
We have to keep moving forwards.
Carrying our secret griefs.
Using them to remind us to do this..
Judgement: Show compassion to one another
Always!
I’ve just finished reading Marian Keyes’ novel ‘The Break’. Most peeps who like to write like to read. And I am no exception. It’s always a bit of fun to investigate the Tarot of everyday life. So let’s dive deep into the Tarot of ‘The Break’. No spoilers, I promise. Continue reading
Earlier this year the obituary of a Texan man went viral because of its brutal hilarious honesty. His family wrote as follows… Continue reading
I attended the Women’s March in Melbourne this afternoon. The first of many being held around the world in support of the Women’s Marches in the U.S. tomorrow. Six thousand of us turned up. Not a shabby turnout for a sunny weekend day during summer.
I’m not a regular political activist. I don’t join marches at the drop of a hat. So I want to explore the Tarot of what I experienced… Continue reading
Throwback Thursday is a chance to revisit some of my favorite posts. Seeing as how fans like myself are beginning to rev up for the next season of GoT I thought I’d take the opportunity to revisit where the TV show began by republishing the Tarot of Game of Thrones Season One. Continue reading
So I made the fatal mistake of letting a boy in my local video shop (yes, some of us still hire them instead of downloading them off the internet) talk me into renting the first few episodes of the TV series ‘Game Of Thrones’. Now of course I’m hooked. Hooked and repulsed in equal measure because Lord Of The Rings it is not. The good guys don’t necessarily win. Justice doesn’t prevail.
But I’m enjoying the characters. The women are unexpectedly diverse and well-rounded. And even though I haven’t quite got to the end of season one I thought it would be fun to explore the Tarot of the leads.
I thought we might have a look today at Tarot cards associated with medical issues. NOTE: Just because these cards turn up in a reading does NOT mean you have a medical condition. As I keep on saying, there are 50 shades of Tarot, 50 possible meanings (or thereabouts), for each card. Please take the following with a large grain of salt. Some I’m sure of. Others are educated guesses.
I’ve found another top video clip for your entertainment. A Les Mis spoof in which a pseudo Anne Hathaway begs Academy Members not to forget her dream come Oscar night to the tune of Fantine’s big song in Les Miserables ‘I Dreamed A Dream’. You can find the link at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4yxsRRnvkE&feature=player_embedded.
Hmmmmm. Not sure which card to file this one under.
I started this post several weeks ago when it was the watercooler story of the day. Then put it on ice when I went away on holiday. But Lance’s very qualified confession makes it the story that just keeps on giving. There seem to be so many levels to his deception. A few more were explored tonight on a cutting edge Australian current affairs program ‘Four Corners’.
So let’s have a look at the Tarot of Lance Armstrong’s confession.
