    I did a three card spread on my love life (man, i dislike that phrase!). I’m very single and feel very much without prospects, so I thought it would be nice to do some thinking on via the cards. I used a spread from Barbara Moore’s Tarot Spreads book.

    1. Your love life: The Chariot
    New beginnings, going off into the unknown, taking risk.…[Read more]

    • I really liked your interpretation of this reading. What you wrote about the Kight of cups, “if we do nothing with our dreams…”was really interesting. Overall, this seems to be a very positive reading, no stuck energy.

      I love that you included your journal, I love journals!!!

      Yeah, I think it can take time to become fluid. I think a lot…[Read more]

      • I got that line from Rachel Pollack’s 78 Degrees of Wisdom. It felt very appropriate and cemented the feeling of the Knight of Cups for me.

        When I journal, I do it in three steps: 1) write down the feelings/thoughts i get from each card; 2) write down the meanings from Anna K’s book for the deck; and 3) write down notes from 78 Degrees of…[Read more]

        • Yes! Lets have a journal thread! I guess that’s what some people kind of do with blogs and I think I’ll start one of those but keep it private for now.

          You’re so organized and such a good student. It’s funny I didn’t realize until recently that I’m the messy artist type because I have a streak of perfectionism too that always led me to…[Read more]

          • Lol, it’s funny you say that – I’ve never felt like an organized student. But I can see it, especially since I totally picked up the multiple highlighter colors things during grad school. My perfectionism definitely stops me from seeing things sometimes!

            Also, messy artist types are great! As are detailed architect types! (I totally snagged that…[Read more]

        • I’m going to start a fresh Tarot only journal–just ordered some new Moleskine Cahier journals. I know there is much debate over them but I thought I’d try them out for myself. I like that they come with plain paper because I like to have the freedom to sketch, write and paste in photos or whatever.

    • woah, i just got The Chariot in a three-card love spread too! makes sense i s’pose since it’s about new beginnings. i also just saw that it’s a warning to make better choices. point taken, universe!

    Question for folks: how do you like to shuffle and draw cards?

    Potential job spread. I’m struggling with the job search hardcore, so I thought this would be something interesting to do to keep working with the deck. Maybe I should a more basic spread, lol.

    1. Me: six of pentacles
    Charity; giving and receiving in a hierachical way; balance. I could be either, or may I’m both the giver and receiver. I feel…[Read more]

    • Congrats on your graduation! Looking for a job is rough! It gets really frustrating when you have options and don’t know which way to go. I’m kind of there with you on that one.
      I’m enjoying reading others’ interpretations of their readings. Just to add a bit to what you wrote about the king of cups: The element for kings is fire, and the…[Read more]

    • I had a thought about the combo of the first three cards, although I’m sure I’m projecting some of my own experience working in the nonprofit sector… but to me those cards seem to be about needing to balance rewarding work with work that will give you some financial security. Going into a field like social work means you sometimes have to make…[Read more]

      • That’s a great thought, Mary L. And I think you’re spot on about the balance of work/life, care of myself/care for others. That’s a big thing we struggle with in the non-profit and social work fields, and something that’s definitely been on my mind. I did AmeriCorps for two years, which was a biiiiig lesson in overcommitment to an agency, so yes,…[Read more]

    So my new Anna K deck came in today. I thought about starting with the Rider-Waite deck since I’m a beginner, but I really much preferred this one in terms imagery, facial expressions, etc. I also picked up Seventy-eight Degrees of Wisdom as a starting guide, so it’ll be interesting to compare ideas across the Rider-Waite images in there to the…[Read more]

    • It’s interesting that there is such a different take on the 4 pentacles with the Anna K deck and the Golden Tarot that epsilongreaterthanzero posted. The Golden Tarot seems to have much more positive take than the Anna K. What comes to mind is that in relation to the 7 cups and it’s illusion/delusion/fantasy, sometimes things that seem bad, like…[Read more]

      • I’m also wondering if the 7 of Cups is saying that this deck will help strip me of my illusions about myself, or if it’s speaking to illusions in general.

        I like what you said about it going either way. I agree! The Four of Pentacles seems to be in that same type of space.

        • I think the 7 cups can mean that it will help you to see the truth past illusion or fantasies about situations. But I think it also may mean that it will help you when you’ve just got too many options or to organize things that are in a state of disorganization. I do feel like there is link between the meaning of the 7 cups and the 4 pentacles though.

          • I agree! I’ve been feeling a need for more structure and security lately, be in internal or external, and I think the 4 of Pentacles is speaking to that.

            I actually like how all the cards really seem to flow into each other – there’s a lot of focus on developing clarity and truth, along with recognizing what I need (the reason I sought out this…[Read more]
