I drew cards on a daily basis and while I don't usually take that much notice of them, they are useful as ways of learning and of marking events. For example when a friend's dad was run over by a car i had drawn the chariot (he survived! he's a very strong guy though he suffered a lot).The cards and the daily draws are mostly used as a way of creating a tarot vocabulary. Learning which cards go with which events.
The following are my day cards for the 3th of August, 2008:
Morning
normal influence - high priestess
best potential - 8 of wands
The house mate is sleeping so i'm tempted to just carry on doing my web stuff on my own - looking up more information on astrology etc. This fits in with the wise and silent high priestess. She doesn't rock the boat and she is at a place in her life where no action needs to be taken - she is internalising the plans for the next step ahead. The best potential though calls for some action and some speed. There's a bit of a contrast. I woke up the house mate and have been updating my blog so that could be it.
Midday
normal influence - Queen of Swords (Temperance)
Best potential - Queen of Swords (Temperance)
My midday influence looks quite interesting! Drawing the same card in the position with the same clarifier is pretty unusual. Especially since i count out the different cards when selecting them in order and put them back in separate places in the deck. The queen of swords were placed in different parts of the deck and shuffled before the two draws. I'll have to wait and see about what the queen of swords has to tell me. She's usually about writing i think. Maybe i'll talk to my mother who is a libra but with an aries energy of 'me, me, me'. Gotta love 'em. Ironically I dated an aries for a while but with a libra energy. It's probably not ironic at all actually - just fitting in with the normal patterns of repeating cycles in life.
Afternoon
Normal influence - 6 of pentacles
Best potential - Death
not sure yet of these two. maybe trying to decide whether to go out for dinner or eat in. I'd say eat in as the best potential.
Evening
normal influence - Empress
Best potential - Ace of wands
the empress promises the comfort of a wonderful murder mystery (Agatha christie tonight) and the ace of wands says go to the pub for the quiz! we'll have to see.
Oh and btw - i note on a previous post about the devil. I spent the rest of that day working on a report and it took all day! I was committed and had to do it. In the end it wasn't the right format so i spent the next few weeks redoing it over and over again. I submitted a version on Friday (in time with the eclipse - well a few degrees later for the moon) so now i'm waiting to see how that goes.
