the wrath of gods

[listening to 'Going to California' by Led Zeppelin]

C-1: [Start/Present Situation] - 4 of pentacles
C-2: What do I currently need to know to attain what I want? - 3 of wands
C-3: What challenges might face me? - 5 of cups
C-4: What might be the best path to take to attain what I want? ace of pents
C-5: [End/What I'm aiming for] - 4 of cups

cards 1 and 5 have the position listed in square brackets because you can choose your own cards. They don't need to be selected randomly.

C-1: [Start/Present Situation] - 4 of pentacles

trying to hold on to what you have and unwilling to open yourself up to chances or risk. You see it as risk but you're losing out on the chances out there. What is it that you are holding on to so tightly? the lack of progress on your work? not handing work in to be judged? not moving on to meet someone new?

C-2: What do I currently need to know to attain what I want? - 3 of wands

you don't have to accept your current environment. This isn't necessarily the hand that you've been dealt. Remember that it was your inaction and indecision that has led you to this position. You can change it. You can say no thanks and try again.

C-3: What challenges might face me? - 5 of cups

you will face a time of loneliness and being alone. You've handled it before so you know that you can get through it. The loneliness will only be temporary.

C-4: What might be the best path to take to attain what I want? ace of pents

reach out to someone and make an offering. Ask for an opportunity - invest in your own future. Recognise that you have nothing to lose.

C-5: [End/What I'm aiming for] - 4 of cups

you're aiming for dissatisfaction? on the path you are on now you will only achieve mediocrity. You need to aim for something higher. Try choosing your next goal with a better view of the future.

Reading for Laura

Hi Laura,

I'm not sure how I would go about answering your question. I don't know what kind of man you would trust and what may happen. The tarot really isn't that clear cut in that kind of answer giving. Instead I drew some cards on the question of 'future romance in your life'.

I drew the following cards:

4 of swords - 7 of cups - page of cups (6 of wands)
5 of cups

You decide to take a break from an active pursuit of anything romantic in the near future. You can't seem to find someone that has you achieving the happiness you want so you spend some time alone. This is a great time for discovering exactly what you want. This is a great time to aim for the best kind of guy that you can. You can ask the universe for all the wonderful things you want in this new person and you will get him. Trust that the love you have given so far will be returned. It's like the karmic love cycle - if you feel that you haven't had someone you could trust before this time then just wait and don't lower your expectations. Aim high and you will get what you ask for. It won't happen right away however and I think you know it. For now you can set your mind at ease that it will definitely happen in the future.

Reading for Greengurll

This is a general and quick reading for what the next four weeks have in store for you.

Month: King of pentacles (10 of swords) - There may be a tendency to go a bit overboard with the business socialising this month. This could also indicate a break up or a move away from a situation which is a bit premature. If you are in charge of your own business then you may be very reluctant to accept that a situation is over.

Week 1: 5 of wands - minor difficulties and problems. Expect to be irritated for a while. Things come up that force you to look at the details instead of the big picture. If you're applying for a mortgage, for example, this card would indicate that you need to take time and deal with all the paperwork and bureaucracy before you can start enjoying the dream of owning your own house. Focus on the day to day tasks and put your energy into the situations as they come up. If you try to avoid doing what you need to do then it will be even worse for you.

week 2: moon - confusion and change. You are facing a difficult time and you may find it quite of a task to try to enjoy the uncertainty. Try to remember that you've been in uncertain times before and you got through them ok. How did you deal with past similar issues? Try to remember what worked for you and what didn't. This is a time to concentrate on issues that you find you can't explain. If there are lots of these times in your life then you might consider trying to identify the patterns you keep repeating.

Week 3: 2 of swords - denial or indecision, you need to decide what it is you need to do and just get on with it. This isn't the time to close your eyes and hope it all goes away. Deciding not to act is a decision all on its own. This isn't the time to take it easy but you may find yourself in a situatin where you avoid acting on what you need to do because you don't know exactly which direction to take.

Week 4: Magician - you find your voice and will again. You know what you need to do and it wasn't so painful after all. The decision to do something helped you feel in charge again and you now know which direction to head. Remember to put all your effort in to communicating clearly and articulately. Make sure you know exactly what you want to achieve at this point because you are giving your subconscious (and probably your conscious) mind a map of where you want to be in the future.

procrastinating girl

I love the washington post rss feeds - there are loads of them and I get so excited everytime. I've added about 7 or 8 to bloglines. This was during my procrastination time which apparently is still going strong as we speak.

Listening to Sarah Mclachlan - Hold on [The Freedom Sessions]. Waiting for the spaghetti putanesca to be ready. Checking emails for tarot yahoo group posts. I have my cards near me on the desk. No one is texting. I had a smoothie for breakfast (orange, banana and 2 plums). Have drunk lots of sparkling water and had nachos for lunch.
