Your Notes

Reading Notes: Seems to be a contradictory reading, being more or less evenly divided between keeping a low profile and working in the background or accepting help and facilitating the efforts of others. My immediate feeling is that I shouldn't take on any new responsibilities and that success will be achieved step-by-step instead of in one big leap noticeable to others.



Your Interpretations

Situation: Three of Wands

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
A rising tide of opportunity is lifting everyone's spirits.

The card that lands in the Situation position refers to the circumstances you find yourself in with regard to your concern.

When the Three of Wands is in this position a new spirit of excitement and innovation is emerging in your environment. Everyone around you feels the effects, even though it may be temporary.

The winds are whipping up, and adventure and creativity are in the air. Take advantage of this energy field of inspired optimism.


Challenges/ Opportunities: Six of Coins

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Give a hand up to those who are willing to improve their situation, but don't nurture dependence.

The card in the Challenges/Opportunities position reflects how you can use creativity to turn a crisis or challenge into an opportunity.

The Six of Coins in this position bids you to find a way to be helpful without creating dependence. It is a challenge to detach oneself enough from the outcome of one's own efforts to promote self-sufficiency and success among others.

In some situations people need assistance or support, and it is good to help them. But if we spend our energy doing for those who can help themselves, we are actually performing a disservice. Your best contribution will not result from saving or rescuing others. Your best contribution lies in encouraging and challenging others to rise above their current limits. See if there is a way you can create incentives for higher performance.


Advice: Page of Swords

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Circumstances call for anonymous action even if you would prefer to receive credit.

The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.

When the Page of Swords (in some decks, a Princess) is in this position, the situation requires subtle change in order for it to be brought to the highest good for all concerned. In contrast to times when one can best serve the greater good by being visible and heroic, this is a time when you must keep your own counsel, cover your tracks and stealthily accomplish what would be impossible to complete without privacy.

Reduce your profile and increase your anonymity, no matter how your self-image might suffer. Although it would be gratifying to accomplish what needs to be done and be aboveboard about it, that cannot be a priority at present.


Daily Lesson: The Magician

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Don't become so inflated that you lose touch with the needs of those around you.

The card in the Lesson position represents the personal investment or sacrifice required to derive full benefit from your current situation.

Let go of the idea that you are the only genius around. True, you may have a capacity for stimulating creative thinking, catalyzing change and discovering new approaches. But let go of identifying with that role, because the situation may require the creative genius of others as well.

Add to your own knowledge base by accepting the good ideas that others have. Support teamwork for the sake of the endeavor. Acknowledge the contribution of others wherever you see it.


Near Future: Nine of Cups

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
You are worthy of the abundant recognition you receive.

The card in the Near Future position indicates which way the wind is blowing with regard to your situation. If you follow the Advice card, however, you can improve on or neutralize tendencies.

With the Nine of Cups in this position, you are about to receive a warm welcome from people whom you respect and admire. This will not be faint praise, but rather a very specific acknowledgment -- a blessing you will cherish. You stand to be elevated by people who want to further you, who see your talent and gifts, what is special about you. They want to open doors for you, as well as invite you into their lives.

Recognize the situation when it happens and consciously relax into the safety it provides. Your dignity will remain intact because you have earned this positive reaffirmation. The more you learn to be comfortable with a flow of support and love, the better you will be at whatever else you try to achieve.
