Your Daily Tarot...

The Chariot

Sure, you're riding in your fancy cart pulled by two strong...cat-bird-serpent-human things...and it feels like a dream and a wonder. And it is--until you realize that you will still be doing the heavy lifting but with your brain, not your muscles.

Transitioning from worker bee to supervisor is not all it's cracked up to be. You'll need to exert leadership qualities that include determination, patience, follow-up and follow-through...not to mention perseverance, delegation, and putting up with a lot of whining. God-awful whining.

If you are up to this task and have developed the internal fortitude to go forth, then by all means go forth. And do it quickly, because the minions are not always graceful about one of their own becoming the boss. Be prepared for kick-back.

The Magician

Here's your mission, should you choose to accept it: make something ordinary into something extraordinary today. Take a lump of clay and turn it into a bowl. Take your workpile and turn it into dust. Take your friend's despair and turn it into hope. Take your crap attitude and turn it into gratitude.

Take your bologna sandwich and turn it into a rib-eye steak.

I don't care--just improve something with your own personal alchemy today.

Page of Cups

Haven't we seen this guy before recently? Something about keeping your heart open, seeing things through the starry-eyed perception of "everything is beautiful," experiencing love in a new way? Something?

The Page comes around to soothe your jaded emotional turmoil and allow you to see that even a fish in a cup can be a nice gift if it's given from the heart. So don't look any gift horse in the chompers today--appreciate every little beautiful thing.

Your Daily Tarot...

The Emperor, Reversed

A couple of scenarios:

If you think this card symbolizes a situation you're in, are you a) allowing someone else to entirely take the reins you should be pulling, or b) stamping your foot and being rigid about having total control of something that requires others' input?

If you think this card symbolizes a person in your life, are you a) allowing said person to trample all over your own knowledge and authority, or b) being a ruthless as**at about getting the upper hand over someone else?

In any scenario, an upside-down Emperor signifies an abuse of power by a ruthless and calculating person. Either way, you've got to get something or someone in check.

Your Daily Tarot...

Ten of Pentacles

Whatever you're doing today, you are doing out of joyful appreciation of the abundance that you've worked hard to procure and maintain. So splurge a little with your time and your cash, go on an adventure, eat good food, and spend time with those who make you smile.

And try something new. Like...haggis. Oh, wait, maybe that's just for me.

Your Daily Tarot...

Five of Cups, Reversed

Omg. Would you please. I mean seriously.

Look, the humidity is gone and so is that crap person or situation that you were silently (and maybe secretly) wishing would hit the road--so what are you blubbering about? Lost opportunities, lost chances, lost love(s)? Pffft. Come on. Today is truly the first day of the rest of your life. And so is tomorrow. And the next day. Are you getting this?

It's time to turn your back on all the shoulda, coulda, woulda and cross the stream. It's not as deep as you think it is and it just might be refreshing. And don't look back--you're not going that way.

Your Daily Tarot...

Eight of Cups, Reversed

Your heart is sore, tired, banged-up, and weepy. You just want to walk away from this heartache/break and be done with it. Have it over with. Move the hell on.

But wait: what else is there to be learned from this pain? Is it something about letting go, surrender? Or the rebirthing process that leads to a blindingly bright new world, where innocence is so frustrating and starting over so painful? Are you *truly* prepared for life with and without--with this new reality and without the old familiarity?

Check back in with yourself. Is there anything left undone that you'll carry into this new beginning?

Your Daily Tarot...

Seven of Pentacles, Reversed

If you are looking forlornly at your gasping garden, you are not alone. It appears that we are officially in a drought. And that means moths flying out of your wallet as you spend your very last twelve dimes on produce that has been artificially propagated and plucked from some nasty third-world greenhouse somewhere. It sucks.

If you have been any sort of conscientious tender to your garden--and I'm talking about your INTERNAL garden here, though--you'll have canned and pickled some sustenance for your soul. Like a good book, a hammock, and the sounds of nature...or a rockin' concert or traipse down an art gallery wall...or a fishing trip, antiquing, walk on the beach, or whatever feeds you. And if you haven't, as this card suggests, you'd better get on it--because winter IS coming and you'll need all the resources you can gather.

Your Daily Tarot...

The High Priestess

Being a Major Arcana card, the High Priestess is here to tell you something big about your life's journey and where you're at on it. And if you've spent a goodly amount of time spinning your tires and doing donuts in the parking lot of Life lately trying to figure out what every Tom, Dick, and Harriet wants from you--it's time to stop the car.

You have neglected your intuitive power. You have been looking all around you for answers, validation, and approval--now it is time to turn inward. It is time to face Reality--YOUR reality, and not the one you wish for, think others need from you, or thought you only had one chance at achieving. And part of that is looking not with your fluttering eyes or your lovesick heart--but with your very soul at all the things that may be keeping you at arm's length from expressing and loving your truest Self.

That takes guts. And that's the place you'll need to be operating from.

Six of Cups

Remember scrapbooks? How it was a craze awhile back, with papers and fancy-edged scissors and specialty stickers, old photos, ephemera, and corner tabs, hours trimming and gluing? The Six of Cups is all about revisiting the past with fond nostalgia, just like a scrapbook.

Today would be a lovely day to stroll down Memory Lane with people who strolled it with you. This is about joy and reflection, not pining for "the good ol' days," so snap out of your melancholy and find contentment and solace in your mental (or real) scrapbooks and with friends and family who helped put them on the map.

Four of Cups, Reversed

Look, it's Friday. For some of you that means a couple of days off are imminent--but for others, "Friyay" means little in terms of your workweek. But Friday is a vibe. And it typically has a good vibe unless some dolt says "the Q word" in a healthcare setting, and then we're all screwed.

Even if you're not quite ready to get out from underneath your little black cloud just yet, try at least to enjoy the little swirl of creamer in your coffee that looks like a sacred spiral, or the dappling sunlight on the patch of weeds outside your window. It will do your tired heart some good and remind you of the tiniest of life's blessings.

Eight of Wands

At this stage, you'll need to be prioritizing and making some final decisions. All manner of possible scenarios and possibilities are whizzing by your head, real and imagined--and it's time to stop all that noise and really get to next moves. Remember: this is YOUR life, it is not a dress rehearsal--so make sure your needs and wants are first priority.
