Question: What advice will help me today?

Card: 5 of swords

Resources used: lwb

They’ve got strange asscheeks.

To define it, the five of swords is about acting in self interest to the detriment of those around you, being a bully, overt antisocial behavior, etc. That’s all I can remember from the last time I drew this card and saw my meanings were a bit off.

I have a therapy appointment in an hour and it’s my first one with this person and I haven’t had therapy in years. I want them to get this adhd cbt workbook. So maybe I oughta be insistent.

Let’s look at the LWB.

I know sometimes with this card doing things your way even if it hurts someone else is the way to go because you’ve gotta look out for yourself too, and other times it’s about learning to cooperate and compromise. But sometimes there are some people you can’t do that with because they don’t understand what compromise means and just want to do things their way all the time. And in that case the best approach is to not engage and walk away if you can.

I’m not sure how to take this as advice. Like walk the line between compromise and getting your needs met, I guess? Yeh.

I’ll return to this laytor. Byee

Question: What advice will help me today?

Card: 9 of pentacles

Resources used: LWB, Learn Tarot (website)

I’ve been enjoying this deck so I thought let’s use it one more time, and I drew the same card as yesterday!

To define it, the nine of pentacles is about a wealthy independent woman, a person having worked hard to get to their position enjoying the fruits of their labor, good stewardship over personal finances and resources leading to enough for a bit of luxury, potential loneliness from having no one to share wealth with, being a bit isolated from the rest of the world (walled garden in rws), maybe a bit of mastery over one’s animal nature (hawk in rws).

Maybe it’s saying spend time on personal hobbies and development. Or to make sure to pay what I recently spent on my credit card. I’m not sure what to make of it appearing again so I’ll look at Learn Tarot for a wider range of meanings.

The keywords are discipline, relying on yourself, and refinement. It talks about sacrificing to get where you want to go, exercising self control, handling a situation on your own, feeling your way is best, wanting to be alone, enjoying the finer things in life, enjoying leisure, remembering to be gracious, and avoiding the coarse and unsavory. (All quotes)

It talks about a woman who through grit and perseverance and trusting herself has achieved a comfortable position in life and has achieved mastery over her shadowy instinctual side so that it serves her and follows her direction. She is disciplined and self controlled. It talks about high minded and refined stuff like art and says the practical side of life is important but so are the finer leisurely things. It also says take matters into your own hands.

Maybe it’s saying maximize your alone time doing the things that bring beauty and discipline to your life. Like make sure you’re working toward your goals and make sure you take time to appreciate the finer things in life. Maybe also like push yourself when you exercise hehe, if I don’t feel I’ve worked up a sweat, keep going!

Alright, I’ll review later.

Deck: Deviant Moon borderless

Question: What advice will help me today?

Card: 9 of pentacles

Resources used: LWB

I just felt like using this deck again. I’m feeling it.

This card rn is making me think of two things that happened today. One is I got the mail and had a credit card offer so I signed up and got approved at the worst rates and probably lowest credit limit but that’s fine since I just wanted to increase my overall credit limit for my score. But I had trouble signing on and had to call customer service and do all these things and now I’m waiting on them to get back with me over email. It might be a day or more.

The other thing is I can’t find my coin purse my partner gave me that came from a deceased friend of his. It’s more of a pouch than a purse but it was really handy. I don’t know what happened, if it’s in one of my pant pockets or if it fell in my mom’s car or at the store. I’ll check customer service and I’ve been checking my pants. Hopefully it turns up.

But anyway. This card. To define it, it’s venus ruling the second decan of virgo, it’s often depicted as a self made and well to do woman hanging out in her walled garden with a hawk or bird of some sort on her wrist. It’s about enjoying the fruits of your labor, feeling luxurious, being independent and self made, possibly feeling lonely and isolated and having no one to share the wealth with. I think in the thoth it’s called gain and is about good governance or stewardship over your money or finances and that leading to growth over time. And it talks about the different ways you do that according to the planets, I think.

In this card it looks like each pentacle is different which makes me think of the different methods they used to increase wealth or different things they’re managing to do so. There’s no bird but they look like they have some insignia or maybe it’s a decorative wallet chained to them that is a skull with wings. They’re standing in front of a factory. I remember the knight of pentacles being in the factory courtyard so maybe the pentacles takes place at a factory? Maybe this person is an heiress to the factory. That wouldn’t go with the self made part of the card meaning though. Maybe she climbed the ranks. I wonder what the mask is about. And one of her feet is a wheel.

To interpret it, maybe it’s saying to focus on managing your money in a way that increases wealth or on appreciating the finer things in life. Maybe like your hobbies and things you can do in your alone time that enrich your inner world. I made myself a little schedule to help me do the things I wanted to do on my off days. I’m feeling a little tired from having woken up early and not slept much. My mom helped me out with some of the things so that’s nice. She gave me a ride to the store.

Let’s look at the LWB.

“An affluent woman strolls through the city streets accompanied by her small pet. Nine pentacles glide down from the sky encircling her in a display of material wealth. Upright meanings: material good fortune. A wealthy and independent female. A pet lover. Reversed meanings: financial hardship. Loss of possessions. Theft of one’s belongings.”

I guess the lil skull dude is her pet. I guess this take doesn’t exclude the heiress meaning. I guess the point is that she’s wealthy and independent in the rws. It doesn’t talk about her mask. Maybe she’s on the cutting edge of fashion.

I’ll review later.

Question: What advice will help me today?

Card: 6 of pentacles

Resources used: LWB

I was looking at tarot bags for my deviant moon since one of the strings broke. I was looking on etsy and found one but after shipping it’d be $30 which is the price of a deck so I stopped looking for now. Then I thought, let’s use the deck.

To define it, the 6 of pentacles is about cycles of giving and receiving, charity, exchange, the have and have nots, sharing, helping others, questions to do with why you have your wealth in the first place when others have little or nothing, being part of the cycles of change/nature, balance in energy exchange, etc.

To preliminarily interpret it, the deviant moon one kind of emphasizes how the giving person is wealthy and has reserves and can afford to give a portion of his wealth. He’s holding back what he doesn’t want to share or hiding how much he really has behind him. It kinda makes me think of issues of privacy too, like holding back information you don’t want made public so people don’t scrutinize or demand things of you. Just sharing what you’re willing to have commented on.

The colors are striking and I wonder what the outfits are about. The bottom person looks pretty watery. It makes me think of the flow of giving and receiving. It also reminds me of how there’s a water leak from our ac that I submitted a maintenance request for and the person should be here today. This is the second time they’re fixing it. I really only bothered because our apartment will be inspected in two days and I don’t want them asking why I didn’t submit another maintenance request.

It also makes me think of how when you’re receiving something sometimes you can be ungrateful because you know they have more than they’re giving you at the moment.

I drew this card on the shadowscapes app at the doctor’s office when getting my iud removed and they tried to put a new one in. It made me calmer thinking about it because I knew they were doing their best with the resources they had to help me, even though it was painful and stressful. So I think I oughta to keep in mind that when someone’s giving me something or helping me with something, that’s them trying their best to fulfill that.

Let’s look at the lwb.

It says “Compassion for the plight of the dead has led a wealthy man into the cemetery. meeting a soul who longs for the material world, the man offers one of his six pentacles in an open act of generosity. Upright meanings: charity. Gifts. Sharing one’s wealth. Material generosity. Reversed meanings: selfishness. Hoarding wealth. Mishandled finances.”

So I guess the figure in blue watery clothes is dead and the wealthy dude is giving an offering to appease them. It reminds me I should do my offering. I woke up late and haven’t done it yet.

I’ll review later. Thanks.

I love this deck so much. The Deviant Moon Tarot has always given me some much needed insight when I dare to pull it out. It is not gentle tho, It will peel off the scabs and expose the deep root of what you ask.

Question: Why am I worried and uncomfortable about getting proficient with western hermetic qabalah?

Card: 3 of cups, (advice:) 3 of pentacles

Resources used: LWB, LearnTarot (website)

I wanted to see how this deck reads for me some more because I was seeing a lot of talk from people on the forum (mostly from old threads) about how the deck put them off or made them uncomfortable or how they would never get it, etc.

To riff, the three of cups is about friendship, titled abundance in the thoth, is mercury’s decan of cancer, is about communicating your feelings and celebrating social bonds.

Let’s look at the LWB.

Lets look at LearnTarot.

It talks about feeling exuberant, enjoying friendship, sharing, and valuing community. It talks about the emotional aspect of social bonds, support, your attachments to groups from an emotional pov.

I can see this a lot of ways. I can’t share freely what I’m learning with my mom because she’s a christian and would see it as satanic. I live with her and we’re close enough but I worry the deeper I go with this stuff, the harder it will be to not share or slip up and might make me feel alienated from her, or worse she’ll threaten to kick me out if I don’t stop or get rid of my tarot decks or books or something. Or worse, she’ll throw them away herself. I don’t think that will happen but it worries me. Or we’ll have an argument. So it’s important I do not share what is going on.

I have others I can share some with. My partner I can share everything about this stuff with. My friend might not be interested but I can share some stuff with. And I have the tarot forum.

But I’m worry it’ll bleed into my life and I’ll be so consumed with it that it’ll slip out. And also the whole feeling alienated in my relationship to her.

What’s the advice? I’ll pull another card.

I wonder if this is just reiterating to find social support elsewhere. The three of pentacles, to riff, is about team work, working together with people to create something new, working with people who have different expertise than you to create something new, commissioning someone, making an effort.

Let’s look at the LWB.

Let’s look at LearnTarot.

It talks about working as a team, planning, and being competent. It talks about contributing to the group. It talks about coordinating resources and drawing on your skills. It talks about being task oriented and working towards a common goal. It says you can attract capable people and create a successful environment. “Know that the situation is (or will be) in good hands, but be sure to concentrate on excellence in your work. Be proud of what you do and how you do it. Then you will accomplish your "impossible" mission.”

I think this is saying the tarot forum is a good place for me to study and share. Maybe I can even create a Thoth study club. Or just make a journal and share my progress. Maybe a club already exists. I guess if I am with likeminded people, I will be able to share my feelings and progress and have that need filled without it spilling over into inappropriate areas of my life. And also I’m kinda already starting a study group with my partner so I will be able to share with him. If I focus on it as a practical matter or task too maybe I won’t become emotional about it?

I like how this deck reads for me. It’s not hard, it’s pretty easy so far. Though I’m not just relying on the cards right now and am still using guides. Then again, the LWB is familiarizing me with the deck and is super helpful.

(I think to connect more to the imagery, the 3 of cups is also making me think of if I face difficulties and successes I would want to share that and celebrate with someone.)

Alright, that’s good for now.

Deck: Deviant Moon Borderless

Question: How I can better include vegetables in my diet?

Card: Death

Resources used: Deviant Moon LWB, Numinous tarot guidebook, LearnTarot (website), Esoteric Meanings (website)

This is my newest deck, I think I got it in 2022 and I’ve only used it once. I did look at all the cards way back then. The card that convinced me to get it was actually the Death card after hearing a youtuber talking about it and reading from the LWB in an effort to clear misconceptions about the deck being overly dark. Funny enough, I was thinking of this card when I asked the question and shuffled.

To define the card, Death is about transitions, loss, change, moving from one state of being into another, a need to let go and perhaps also to move on. It’s astrological correspondence is Scorpio and it has the 5, 6, and 7 of cups tied to it.

The LWB passage:

The Numinous tarot guidebook talks about transformation, rebirth, impermanence, and growth. It talks about seeing who we were, what we are now, and what we’re becoming. It says we’re going through a change and to honor that, grieve the loss, and not to be afraid of what’s coming into being because it’s already here.

Let’s look at learntarot.

It talks about endings, transitions, eliminating excess, and facing inexorable forces. I thought the eliminating excess section applied very well here so I’ll add a screenshot of the whole section.

Let’s look at esoteric meanings.

It says a lot of things so I’ll talk about the relevant stuff. It talks about how something in your life is being disintegrated/dying/dissolving such as a pattern, habit, structure, or way of thinking about ourselves or the world. It says this is necessary for new beginnings and transformation in our lives. It talks about how as we change we must let go of what we have outgrown.

So to interpret.

I think this is saying I need to change my diet in a major way and my whole approach to food and cooking in general by cutting out foods that are now unhealthy for me to eat. That way it’ll make room for trying out healthier foods like vegetables. I might need to let go of instant foods, carb heavy foods, most delivery foods, and such.

This is a change and a loss because before diabetes I could eat whatever I wanted on demand, but I have to change my self concept and relationship to food in order to manage and perhaps reverse my diabetes. I might also need to change my first blush perception of vegetables in general as an undesirable or unwieldy food. I DO already like vegetables anyway, I just haven’t often cooked them myself.

I already am changing from someone reluctant to change my habits after my diabetes diagnosis to someone who accepts their diagnosis and seeks to change their habits. The change is already here. I just need to let go of my old self perception and old habits to make way for the new.

That’s good for now.
