Three of wands as my daily card

Today, i drew three of wands as my daily card.

This card shows a calm stately man with his back turned looking from a cliff's edge at ships passing over the sea. His robe suggests that he is an established person who has put all his energy and investments in the venture and is now waiting for the returns.

The card tells me to take a long view and wait for the results. Recently i have been learning to invest small amounts in stocks and trying to get the instant results. This card suggest to take a step back and reconsider. It also suggests planning ahead venturing into the unknown territory with caution.

My thought pattern in my daily card

After a long long time i decided to write today on my blog, the reason of not keeping in touch is my long long schedule. My husband went through a knee replacement surgery in the last month and nursing him throughout the month kept me away from my blog.

Today i drew a four of swords as my daily card compelling me to think again over everything that i have been doing. The number four also tells me to reschedule all the four aspects of my life like my work, blog, social commitments and proper rest and meditation which i have been neglecting for a while.

I have also started doing free tarot reading, so if you wish to ask me a question for some guidance you can always write me.

Eight of Pentacles

Today I was in no mood to do my routine work, but just laze around as it is a holiday and my children are home. Whenever they have a day off they want to either spend time seeing some movies or sleep, sleep and sleep.

On this lazy day I drew the "eight of "pentacles" as my day card, which shows the figure in the card doing work and concentrating on doing more work.

We were talking about looking for courses in New Zealand for my daughter who has just finished her graduation last year. So I think this card tells me to concentrate and find a new field for her, and also think of various new avenues that could open for her.

The Eight of Pentacles also implies a sense of material and financial security if we remain committed to the task. The Eight can be a sign of commitment or genuine interest in learning new skills. It is at this point that the spiritual meaning of the Eight becomes apparent. It also suggests the manifesting of your dreams and the transformation of your world. It also says that if you start something never leave it undone, until you reach your goal.

The moral of the story is that I have to persevere on the idea of finding a new course of study for my daughter.

Recurring cards

Hi,

I had a problem with my internet connection for the last few days and so could not blog for a few days.

I have kept busy with all my household problems like my internet, my car insurance and all appliances breaking down at the wee hours of the day. It was a real nightmare and has kept me so busy. The only routine that i could maintain in this mess was my "CARD A DAY" routine.

I was more than surprised when i drew "the Hierophant" four times in a week, where as a "five of wands" would have been very appropriate.

The cards always surprise me and i tried hard to weave the story of the Hierophant in my routine which was getting bad to worst everyday.

The Hierophant is often a warning against becoming too mired by old, outdated values, and to be a good teacher to others.

When things are chaotic, the Hierophant is the one who sorts everything out and dispenses advice. He is the connection to the greater consciousness, which communicates to us through human means.

If we have a problem, the Hierophant says that you know how to fix it, you just have to take action. The problem is not insurmountable. This gave me the energy to give my best to the small problems that i was facing.

The moral of the story is that cards are the savior of my life, and I learn new things everyday from them.

Terror strikes again

Terrorism is a curse on the face of earth. Whenever terror strikes it leaves behind a trail of sorrow and loss. Everyday the newspapers are filled with the news of bomb-blasts in some part of the earth, making you feel so helpless and sad.

The year 2007 is about to end, and the people are in high spirits planning different ways of welcoming the new year, but destiny had different plans. The year at the end before leaving us gave us the biggest shock of the year. The untimely death of Benazir Bhutto sents shivers down the spine. It reminds me of the assasination of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi and the loss the nation suffered after their demise.

Benazir Bhutto was a fighter and a true patriot of Pakistan, who in the face of all dangers decided to return home. She knew very well the consequences of returning to her country after her self-imposed exile of eight years. She had a dream of making Pakistan a democracy in the true sense, and also work towards the welfare of the people of her country.

I see her as the Queen of Wands, a lady who knows what she wants and is not afraid to go for it.She is an extrovert ,energetic and a capable woman. This kind of woman can run a home and a nation with equal ease, and could transform her dream into a reality.

May God rest her soul in peace.

The High Priestess

One of my favorite cards in the tarot deck is "The High Priestess."

This card has been my strength since i first started doing tarot.When I look at this card, I feel drawn towards the imagery of this card. The stately lady sitting on the throne with a crescent moon fascinates me. The two pillars in black and while symbolizes duality and the opposing forces of our nature. The veil with fine prints carries all the secrets of life, not revealed yet.

This card teaches you to tap into your intuition, and also helps in developing your deep seated potential to look beyond the obvious.

Whenever this card appears in a spread, it tells you to follow your gut instincts or your intuition.
Sometimes the answer to the problem comes to us in a flash. Listen to your inner voice, that is where "the high Priestess" is, showing you the way through the many problems of your life.

One can also meditate on this card, the calmness and the serenity of the card will give you immense peace and guide you to your deepest self.

Card a Day

Hi,

I started learning tarot four years ago and found that the card reading could be a hobby, a profession, or an obsession.

Tarot has become the love of my life. I love my cards so much that if i do not take the cards in my hands at least once in a day i feel that i have missed out the best moment of my life.
I started with one card reading in a day and have maintained the routine throughout. This keeps me alert the whole day and on the look out for the new meanings of the card. I try to connect everything that happens throughout the day to the card that I draw in the morning. Believe me it really helps.

Reading the cards for ourself sometimes becomes very difficult. It is very difficult to remain objective about the whole spread. You tend to draw the cards again and again till you get the desired result.
I always shuffle the cards twice or thrice and then draw a card. In the beginning i use to panic when i saw a card like the three of swords or death. Slowly it started seeping in that these cards are not showing all that is bad, and during the whole day i keep thinking about the imagery on the card. It gives me immense satisfaction when i can connect the card with something that happens during the day. This is the best way to connect oneself with the cards.
