Your Notes

Reading Notes: Situation is generally optimistic, but beware of attempts to limit my potential. Base actions on what is best for everyone and opposing forces will harmonize as long as I remain true to my own conscience. Deal with the disappointment and betrayal. Refuse to be used or deceived, but don't expect a lot of outside sympathy. Now able to perceive and correct patterns to my advantage, but should maintain a low profile to be successful.

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: Seven of Cups

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
The goal is to ensure that abundance is made available for everyone.

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

When the Seven of Cups is in this position, stay focused on the highest possible outcome for the greatest number instead of just for yourself. The tendency this card warns us of is that of ego-inflation, wherein you imagine that all this beauty, wonder and fulfillment is rightfully yours to possess and consume.

While many things are indeed possible at this time, only one is ready to be realized. Which one you choose is not about you alone. The true choice concerns what is the best direction you can lend your will to in order to serve the greater good. Amidst all the abundant possibilities, you must concentrate on the best choice in the larger context, then discipline your will to pursue that direction alone.


Advice: King of Cups

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Support others with your strength and wisdom.

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

The King of Cups in this position advises that you closely examine your conscience and bring your personal mission into alignment with what is best for everyone. You can then step into your community or situation with integrity and an ability to communicate the highest wisdom.

As this sweetens the environment, others will be inspired to raise their own motives and intentions to match yours. You will be providing an important kind of leadership that uses strong reassurance to help everyone work together. The most persuasive thing about you is the example of generous behavior that you exhibit -- much more powerful than preaching alone.


Daily Lesson: Eight of Cups

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Bear up; you are on your own and no one is sympathetic.

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

The Eight of Cups in this position requires that you absorb a blow, setback, or attack as stoically as possible. Simply endure it, heal yourself and move on. Don't seek any kind of retribution or revenge.


Near Future: Princess of Swords

POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
When you combine intelligence and intuition, you may bring to light a pattern that exists in your situation.

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 Page of Swords (in some decks, a Princess) in this position, your upcoming role in events may require discretion, tact, and scrupulous secrecy. In ancient times this card represented the spy who was sent to gather intelligence from behind enemy lines. This could have meant carrying coded messages or breaking into hidden chambers. While your situation may not warrant such dangerous implications, it still requires careful attention to detail. Significant outcomes may hinge on tiny obscurities that only you can notice.

The incisive intelligence of a detective is required to perceive patterns formed by the clues you find. Remember that the successful achievement of your goals depends on anonymity, tact and finesse. Become better at using camouflage or leaving a smaller footprint, rather than flaunting your personality and intelligence. (You may soon be tested in this area).
