Six of Swords

Moving out of turmoil--that's the theme for today. Putting in your ear buds and listening to sweet music instead of Belinda over there bashing Helene again. Letting your kids figure it out instead of helicoptering it. Telling the ball-and-chain to find their own damn socks.

You are making a very conscious decision to remove yourself from the fray--and that means not looking back because you are not going that way.

Six of Cups

How many of you, as I did, spent joyous hours sticking little colored plastic pegs through pre-designed paper stuck on a light board, to delight in the glowing piece of art you created when you turned the light board on at last?

Lite-Brite. Oh, what a magnificent invention. I think I'm going on Ebay and spending $7000 for one.

Today is a day for playful nostalgia. If you haven't felt like a kid for awhile, today's the day. Dig out some wooden blocks, your Tonka trucks, or your Ants in the Pants game and just swoon with childhood reminiscing. Have hot cocoa with giant marshmallows. Go chase leaves. Allow delight to infiltrate you.

Four of Swords

I am having a medically forced time-out for 48 hours--no eating, no frivolity, no fancies or frills. Just utterly plain this and that beverages and the ever-revolting Jell-O. I am trying to view it as a respite, a necessary pause and period of reflection in an otherwise busy...oh, eff that, I'm prepping for a colonoscopy and it is highly humbling and unsavory. Literally--no savory at all.

Yet, there are moments when we just must take a tine-out from the regular drum roll of our lives to rest, to give our innards time to recuperate from the insanity we put them through...and if you are feeling a "migraine" or a bout with "explosive diarrhea" arriving, today is the day to make the call to stay out of whatever daily crazy you engage in and just do the self-care thing--plain and simple.

King of Cups and The Emperor

I woke up yesterday with a double whammy of a migraine and vertigo. Great way to start the day, and reading tarot fell off my plate. Today, I'm feeling much improved but these two arrive with another double whammy. Like, polar opposites, these two. Egad.

The King of Cups is...well, if you remember my recent post about Barack Obama's surprise visit to a bunch of veterans sitting on an Honor Flight on Veterans Day, you'll know what The King of Cups finds important: honor-bound duty, happiness and rejoicing, class and sober truth when delivering bad news, a heart of gold and a desire to improve every single life and standard of living in his kingdom.

The Emperor is NOT about gold ballrooms with Home Depot decals, however. The Emperor is...well, like Julius Caesar. He is *all* about careful strategy, fiscal balance, finding meaningful and productive things for his empire to do, building stuff that expands and strengthens his empire (not golden toilet flush handles), and holding everyone accountable for doing their part on the behalf of maintaining a structured, safe, and predictable empire.

You can see how these two could clash. One is coming from the heart with a view of the individual, and the other is coming from the head with a view of the collective. Yikes.

Your task today is to be the Diplomat and find the bridge. The bridge that has the two of them walking side by side to the Land of Fair Compromise. Building the empire and everyone is happy doing it. Sounds like an impossible Utopia sitch, but you can manage it. Ride the waves, smooth the landing on shore, and feed both of these dudes some good food--because good food solves problems. Sunday dinner is at hand--use it to your advantage and bring these two happily to the same table.

Eight of Wands and Three of Cups

A two-fer today as I was away yesterday, and we've got our life path full of information, choices, and the need to decide quickly, along with a heart full of love and the need to celebrate our relationships and connections.

Last minute invitation to a small gathering of those you love and cherish? The answer is an immediate "yes." Trust it.

King of Cups

Perspectives. Facts. Acute differences.

King of Cups, Upright: a president of the United States unbeknownst to passengers, boards a flight full of Veterans to thank them for their service, to chat with all of them, and to honor them on Veterans Day in a tangible, meaningful way.

King of Cups, Reversed: a president of the United States, having his speech in front of television cameras interrupted by a member of his team falling to the floor from a medical issue, turns his back on the scene and glowers into the cameras, waiting for this annoying interruption to be over.

Thankfully, we have Barack Obama as our King of Cups today. Look for a representative of this King of Cups in your life.

Page of Pentacles

I just watched a video of Christian Hull, an Australian influencer, comedian, and overall delightful nutcase, admire his own work with pottery. To say his pieces are abstract is truly an understatement, and he fully admits that they were meant to be something else--but he's turned these blobs of clay painted and glazed in pinks and greens into fancy flower holders. And he has so much joy over this necessary repurposing ("I just LOVE these!"), you can't help but desire to make blobs yourself on purpose.

The Page of Pentacles is about learning something new and accepting that you will make blobs. Kids make blobs and see them as elephants and airplanes (or elephants IN airplanes) and so can you. Revisit your childlike wonder and experience the vastness of your creativity--and then recognize how truly abundant the world is in which you play.

Nine of Pentacles

Okay, alright. You've worked hard and deserve a special treat. For me it was purchasing two nightgowns on sale and cheap, hoping they are of half-decent quality and fit me like Abdullah the Tentmaker made them especially for me. Crap Couture, let's say. But I digress.

So yes, Felicia, you can hit up the clearance shelves at TJ Maxx, or grab a couple of Snickers bars before checking out your salad at Hanny's today. You shall be rewarded for believing you can, and doing what you say. You might want to pick up some Rollos for Carol in accounting--to pay it forward a little.
