Compass Spread with the Quantum Tarot

This copy of the Quantum Tarot is special in that I have blacked out the card names at the bottom. The colorful oval in the middle of that strip still indicates which card each is, but the black space (instead of the name of the card) gives you time to think about the new implications of the card with the Quantum images before you get bogged down in RWS meanings. Click on either photo for a larger scan. The spread is the Compass Spread by my friend Sherry at Green Trinity.

The “center” card, which represents where I am at now, is Jupiter (King of Wands). Jupiter was the ultimate father figure in Roman times, and is very self controlled. I’ve been controlling myself almost to the point of stifling lately, so it makes sense.

The North position of my compass is the Solar System (Ten of Pentacles), representing what leaves me cold. I think right now I just feel like security is so far away as to be a joke, and without security, how can we have that sense of completion that comes with the tens?

What warms me is Particle Decay (Five of Cups). I’m starting to feel good about getting past what I have lost and working the new, different situation into my life. It’s a challenge, not a painful situation. Or at least that is how I am trying to see it.

I am set back by Mars (Knight of Wands). He is passion and fiery energy. I want to go to war with my problems. I want to fix them, and I mean yesterday, but my largest problem right now can only be solved by patience, persistence, and time. It’s getting me pretty riled up, and I have not been feeling my best because of the impotent feelings of it.

What moves me forward is Neptume (King of Cups). Looks like my husband is the driving force pulling me forward. Makes sense to me. There were a lot of court cards today!

Daily Draw for Friday

Insomnia has returned, and I am slowly going crazy. Today’s cards are The World, King of Wands, and nine of Wands. You will make them all very happy if you give them a little clicky so you can see them better. Just hit the back button to keep reading.

The World card seems to be speaking to me of building a strong foundation. She is confident in her footing, or else she wouldn’t be able to dance among the stars. The King of Wands mirrors that confidence, and the lions at his feet speak of control as well. The combination of cards seems to be saying that when my foundation is strong, I will be strong as well.

The woman on the nine looks like she is getting ready to plant that last wand in a row with the others. Perhaps she is nearing the end of a long journey, and is feeling some success. This is not really the end of a journey for me right now, but it is the end of feeling like a total newbie on my hoop, which has been suspended in my garage for several weeks now. I am still tender and having trouble with certain moves, but I no longer feel like a total beginner again, and I am gaining confidence and joy in the basics that I practice (almost constantly).

The deck that I used today is the Mystic Dreamer Tarot. If you enjoy it, you may also like the Llewellyn Tarot. Both are available through Amazon, and any purchase made through the links on this page will benefit Reading the Cards, so thank you for your patronage!

Daily Draw for Wednesday

Today was a simple three card draw with no surprises jumping out at me. The cards were the King of Wands, the Knight of Pentacles, and the Four of Swords.Again, please do click on the image for a nice, large scan!

I was pleased because I knew what the cards meant as soon as I saw them. The King of Wands is referring to the fire that has been lit under my desk chair today. It is my first day back to working since my week off, and I am at full steam after a nice restful break. I have also had the creative fires burning at full steam ahead!

The Knight of Pentacles refers to my money making ventures. I have been doing some marketing this morning that will hopefully pay off, and sending proposals to clients all morning. I usually lag on this, so the cards are essentially saying “good for you, you knightly go-getter!”

The knight is a little torn, however, and is glancing back at the Four of Swords. The one thing stopping me today is my aching tummy, which has me wanting to lie down and veg like the man in the four. I’m trying not to let it hold me back, but as you can see with the knight, I am hesitating just a little.

If you would like to buy the Gilded Tarot for your own collection, please click here. The deck is a wonderful beginner deck, but also has enough depth to sustain a more advanced reader. It has been one of my favorites for a long time. I also strongly recommend pre-ordering the Legacy of the Divine Tarot by the same artist.
