Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Six of Coins

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Six of Coins

About a week and a half ago, I posted about how I was finally feeling normal again. While that was true for that day, since then I have continued to feel sick, the tail end of my cold lingering and lingering. I have also been more busy than usual. Often by the end of the night I have time to do a reading, but that doesn’t work when the card is supposed to foretell what the day will be about. And…

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Ten of Wands

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Ten of Wands

The Ten of Wands is the Lord of Oppression, which seems an odd name for this card. It represents the sometimes costs of unexpected success. Unmanageable demands on time and production. Stress.

Ill dignified, it means there are burdens the querent is holding on to that they don’t need to, or has unnecessarily assumed a burden. The situation is not demanding very much of them, but they are…

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Ten of Coins

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Ten of Coins

I went to Olympia Wednesday to hang out with my friend who lives in Japan, but who is home visiting. The drive back took a bit more time than expected, and once I finally got home I had to rush to work. So, no post yesterday. But I had a lovely time eating shabu-shabu and playing games.

The Ten of Coins is the culmination of financial progress, equating security and success. This is one of the…

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Wheel of Fortune (again)

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Wheel of Fortune (again)

If you’ve been following this project, you know the Wheel of Fortune means inevitable change, and the inverted Wheel of Fortune means change prolonged. As the Wheel of Fortune has already shown up a few times in this project, rather than give another lengthy explanation of the card, I will reflect on its possible meaning.

I received disappointing news yesterday, so I could read this as a kind of…

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Two of Coins

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Two of Coins

First of all, I apologize for not posting the past two days. It is not because I forgot (which is a relief to me). I had time set aside both days for my tarot reading, but once I was up and about events conspired against me. My activities either took longer than expected, or I had unexpected favors come up which took me away from my writing time. They were logistical failures, not failures of the…

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Seven of Cups

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Seven of Cups

I am not sure how I feel about this card.

The Seven of Cups is a card of choices, showing daydreams of possible destinies. Some are riskier than others. It admonishes the querent that dreaming about what to do is not the same thing as doing it, and that it might be time to narrow down to one choice.

Reversed, it indicates an environment of distractions and fantasies. The querent is holding on to…

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Wheel of Fortune

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Wheel of Fortune

Let me tell you a story. Yesterday, Philip referenced a company I failed to get a job with. He was making a suggestion and trying to be helpful, but it put me into a shame spiral and all I could feel for most of the night was hopelessness. Thinking back onto yesterday’s card of the Eight of Cups, the emotionality of the experience seems to coincide nicely with the reading. I felt a pressing need…

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Ten of Wands

Tarot Project: Ill-Dignified Ten of Wands

Today’s card is the inverted Ten of Wands, also called the Lord of Oppression. The Ten of Wands indicates the risks of doing a job well. The art for my card shows a man carrying goods along a road, but lying in wait are bandits waiting to rob him. The results of his labor maybe too much for the man to handle. This card usually indicates success, possibly a recently completed project, but the…
