Today was a very good day to post

This thread reminds me of my old school days when we had to choose a picture and write a story about it and how it made us feel. Each of these cards has an emotion and they are very strong I think?

Pentacles - Hard work has paid off, reaping the rewards for your efforts - REWARD
Wands - Feeling like forces are against you, but in a good position to overcome - STRUGGLE
Swords - Sneaky, betrayal, fleeing before the job is complete - DECEPTION
Cups - Many choices, feeling confused as to which direction to take - CONFUSION

I actually like the wands to look at visually, can't say why, just do...
I would like to have the option of choices, so would pick the cups for the one I would like in my own reading, as you will eventually decide

What do I need to know today
Wands - might be a few struggles today, but will be able to overcome
Swords - someone might not be telling you the whole story, have your wits about you today
Pentacles - Don't be a spendthrift today
Cups - Narrow down your options

Work through each card and see what story and meaning they bring to you? Try to imagine emotions and one word that describes their feeling.


FROM WEEZER:

7 Swords - I find myself surrounded by people or circumstances that I somehow CANNOT trust.  Just grabbing for whatever I can get and trying to stay under the radar.  It could be paranoia or just simply not feeling safe.. something is "up for grabs" and I have to be cunning in order to "get what's mine" using means that are less obvious EMOTIONS - I feel like I'm being sneaky - doing something I "shouldn't" - intrigue.

7 Cups - TOO MANY CHOICES!!  My vision becomes blurry - I'm standing in front of a wall filled with fog and illusions.  My options seem "magical" - or at least surreal. EMOTIONS - I feel very confused.  Like being lost in thick fog.

7 Wands - Standing my ground in the face of obstacles, criticism? or competition.  EMOTIONS:  Feeling strong and determined, hoping to find strength to continue...

7 Pentacles - After a hard day's work - looking back over the fruits of my efforts.  I've accomplished much - but it somehow doesn't seem like enough - despite all the hard work.  I take time to reflect.  At least I have SOMETHING. EMOTIONS:  feel good about the process so far, but not completely satisfied with the "rewards".  Am I receiving enough recognition (from myself and others??)

Which card do you prefer to look at?


   That's a 'tricky" question.    I can find a little encouragement in the 7 of Pentacles and Wands.  At least I have the feeling that there is some strength, progress or direction in these 2.   The other 2 (Swords and Cups) don"t "feel" positive to me.  7 Swords feels too "dishonest" - I don't feel like I've learned to TRUST (myself at least).  The world doesn't feel like a safe place.  Looking at 7 Cups makes me feel rather dizzy - as if my consciousness has been altered with drugs.  I have some temporary "escape" but things still remain confused.

Which card would you prefer to get in a reading for yourself?

7 Pentacles - seems to be the "easiest" to deal with.  

If you drew each of the sevens as a single card for some guidance to answer the question    "What do I need to know today?"  What would you interpret the card as meaning?

7 Swords - as a single card - for me today - "You're not being completely upfront about something - or you don't believe enough in your own intellectual talents prowess.  This makes you perhaps overly suspicious of your environment.

7 Cups - a lot of choices to be made about how to "manage" the affairs of your life.  The cups mirror this, but it's also a "warning" not to get lost in illusion, imagination - or the world of magic.  Time to come down from the clouds.

7 Wands - stay strong and defend your position.  Trust in the strength of your own ideas and creativity.  

7 Pentacles - Be content with what you have, but don't stop striving to secure material progress.  

Namaste!

swords my card shows a girl nervously fending off swords that are pointed toward her. It's a dark card, something sinister about it.  OPPOSITION
There are those that will oppose you and might use underhand methods to undermine  you.  Just be aware of them so you are able to fend them off

cups. She leans her head back, opens her arms to heart full of smaller hearts.
'so many handsome men.....so little time'.
Youre being fanciful perhaps 'in love with love'. Workout what is real and what is not and don't make a decision till you have.

Wands A brave warrior stands tall against his enemy. COURAGE
Take courage, face those fears of those that oppose you and you shall prevail.

Pentacles. She leans on her staff as if weary from work and gazes at a tree of pentacles. FRUSTRATION
You are frustrated by people and events that surround you. Don't worry about the past or future. Just count your blessings and focus on the present.
