Today's Daily Card - 8 Of Pentacles

Today's Daily Card - 8 Of Pentacles

You've got your head down and getting work done.  Just remember, you've got a life to live too.  Don't get stuck with your work all the time.  Find a way to balance work and home life.  

If you're not focused and working hard, then this card shows up to remind you that you need to focus on the task at hand.

One Card Tarot 20th July 2021 - 9 of Wands

One Card Tarot 20th July 2021 - 9 of Wands

If this card shows up today, it means that you should take stock of your vulnerabilities.  The card has to do with awareness, self improvement, learning from the past and moving on.

You are asked to be positive in your day.  Understand that we all make mistakes, but there's no point beating yourself or lashing out in defensiveness because of it.

Just know that no-one is perfect and everyone realizes this.  Some people are overly sensitive if someone else notices the flaw and highlights it, either intentionally to make a point or by accident.

Lashing out doesn't help anyone.

The 9 of wands is here to help you see.

Don't stress about your flaws.

It's ok, we've all got scars.

Let them be.

You've learnt the lesson, so use the knowledge you've collected and apply it to the next situation that comes your way.

One Card Tarot 19th July 2021 - 4 Of Pentacles

One Card Tarot 19th July 2021 - 4 Of Pentacles

The 4 of pentacles is a very miserly, mean card.  If you're being mean, miserly, holding on to things that no longer serve you or are just not a very good person, maybe the card is showing up to remind you not to be this way.

If things are in disarray for you, this card shows up to let you know, you need to be more frugal, get organized and get your act together.

One Card Tarot 15th July 2021 - 5 Of Cups

One Card Tarot 15th July 2021 - 5 Of Cups

The 5 of cups shows up today to remind you to not regret all the mistakes you've made, all the past choices you made or anything you feel is not going right in your life.  Sometimes we forget that it's not all doom and gloom and that there often is a little positivity in every instance and moment, if we're only willing to take the time to look for it.

One Card Tarot 14th July 2021 - Ace of Swords

One Card Tarot 14th July 2021 - Ace of Swords

The ace of swords shows up in this reading to remind us of the nature of a sword.  Cutting through the BS to get to the truth of any matter.  Then this card shows up for you, it can mean that there's little time for play, things need to get done and you needs to knuckle down and get stuck in.

One Card Tarot 13th July 2021 - 6 Of Wands

One Card Tarot 13th July 2021 - 6 Of Wands

The 6 of wands has to do with pride and accomplishments.  This card shows a man sitting atop his horse.  When this card shows up it's to remind us that we shouldn't be too proud of ourselves and egotistical, thinking we're better than anyone else because we managed to achieve our goals.  The higher we rise, the faster we sometimes fall - so beware.

Jul 16, 202103:44
One Card Tarot 12th July 2021 - The Tower

One Card Tarot 12th July 2021 - The Tower

When the tower card shows up, it means that sudden and unexpected changes are afoot.  Be prepared and take what's coming with grace.  When you make it through the rough period, you can pickup the pieces and rebuild in a better way.  

Jul 16, 202104:14
One Card Tarot 8th July 2021 - 10 Of Wands

One Card Tarot 8th July 2021 - 10 Of Wands

the 10 of wands shows up today to remind us that sometimes we add so many things onto our to-do list that it becomes unmanageable.  We don't have time to have fund because we're always stuck in work mode.

The problem with this approach is that we get lost, have no drive, lose sight or may not even have goals because we're "too busy" on our hamster wheel.

This card show up to remind us that life isn't just all work and no play.

We need to have balance in our lives and we need to have some play time.

Make time for yourself, to do the things you like doing.  

Look at your to do list, prioritize the most important 1-3 items and get them done first.  Delegate what you can, get rid of distractions.  Open yourself to asking for help.

One Card Tarot 7th July 2021 - King Of Swords

One Card Tarot 7th July 2021 - King Of Swords

A little late due to tech - A One Card Tarot Reading for 7th July 2021 - The King Of Swords.  the king of swords enters the reading for today to remind us that you can be stoic, be within your power and can dominate in your area of expertise.

You're able to cut through the noise, see the problems and overcome them with confidence.  But, you can be too forceful at times and enforce your will upon others when they merely need guidance and support.

The card show up today to remind you, that you shouldn't push your views and opinions upon others.  Rather offer support and guidance, but know that you have power as an individual to overcome adversity.

One Card Tarot 6th July 2021 - Judgement

One Card Tarot 6th July 2021 - Judgement

With the judgement tarot card showing up today, it reminds us that when we make judgements we must be careful of the way in which we judge so that we don't hurt others or ourselves in the process.

The wrong way to judge is to be ignorant to the needs of the other party and simply stating that you don't approve, without listening to reasons i n any way.

The right way is to find a way to judge amicably, understand that we all make mistakes and it's OK to help and guide those that do err.  It is not our mistake,  but when we show compassion, help correct an error in a loving, compassionate way, we build upon the character of the other person and ourselves.

One Card Tarot 5th July 2021 - Page Of Cups

One Card Tarot 5th July 2021 - Page Of Cups

The page of cups has shown up as the energy for today.  The page of cups reminds us to beware of our fun loving, intimate side. We all want and need intimacy in our lives.

The card showing up now indicates that some of us may be moving in the direction of new relationships. The prospect of meeting someone for the first time and having an intimate encounter can be thrilling, but beware of the type of image you've projected onto that person you're meeting for the first time.

Once you get to know the person, you might realize you made a mistake and you aren't really compatible on many levels. 

But, if we're already involved, we need to take care of our relationships, listen and be more attentive to our partners and see how we can fix what we've got and bring in more fun, intimacy and balance.

One Card Tarot for 1st July 2021 - The Magician

One Card Tarot for 1st July 2021 - The Magician

Today is the 1st of July 2021 and the card that popped out of the deck for us today is The Magician.  The magician as you're probably aware stands at a table or altar and has all his tools laid out in front of him and he's holding his wand in the air, while there's an infinity sign above his head.

The Magician card sometimes relates to one feeling that they have all the answers and know the way forward, thinking they already know everything there is to know.  Although The Magician is known for being able to achieve results where countless others have failed, it doesn't mean you need to get comfortable and pompous.

When this card shows up, it can indicate that you have all the knowledge and skills necessary to get the results you want, no matter how lofty your goals may seem.

Let us know how this energy played out in your day today.

Wednesday 30th June 2021 - Tarot Card For The Day - 3 Of Wands

Wednesday 30th June 2021 - Tarot Card For The Day - 3 Of Wands

Today is the 30th June 2021.  the Daily Tarot card that popped out of the deck for the day is the 3 of wands.  The 3 of wands comes into the fray today to show us that we need to get a clear view of the path ahead and make the necessary preparations for the journey before we get onto the path towards our destination.

It isn't a time for hasty decisions, rather we need to plan, prepare, gather our tools and supplies, pack them neatly and then carefully plot our route towards the final outcome.

Today, it's time for you to do your due diligence.  Act accordingly.

Tuesday 29th June 2021 - Tarot Card For The Day - The Hanged Man

Tuesday 29th June 2021 - Tarot Card For The Day - The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man showed up for the energy today.  What does the Hanged Man denote?  Seeing things from a different perspective, pulling back, reviewing the situation, making the necessary decisions, then only proceeding after weighing all the facts.

With the hanged man in the energy today, you should reconsider your situation, pull back, look at things from a 10000 foot perspective, see how you can do things better, evaluate your decisions and then only move forward, with mental clarity.

Today's Daily Card Perspective - 9 Of Cups

Today's Daily Card Perspective - 9 Of Cups

With the 9 of cups energy you could feel somewhat happy and smug with your place in the world.  You're happy with the progress you've made and want to gloat about it, but the 9 of cups comes along to make you aware that it could be to your detriment to gloat as you'll cause others to envy you and you'll end up pushing them away.  

You could also count your chickens before they come home to roost.  Hopefully you won't end up with egg on your face.


Beware of the keywords related to this card, accept the good and avoid the bad - Wish fulfillment, emotional satisfaction, sensuality, pleasure, withes coming true, sexual satisfaction, enjoy the simple pleasures in life, pleased with your success, smugly content, emotionally satiated, self-indulgence, counting your blessings.

Today's Daily Perspective - The Knight Of Swords

Today's Daily Perspective - The Knight Of Swords

Today is June 25th 2021.  The knight of swords is the card for today and it is all about rushing forward into the unknown.  With this card showing up today, it can indicate that you should be careful not to rush into a decision or be impulsive in your actions.  Don't let people force you into situations or impose their beliefs on you and don't you do it either.

Today's Daily Card Perspective - 7 Of Pentacles

Today's Daily Card Perspective - 7 Of Pentacles

Today is the 24th June 2021 and I pulled the 7 of Pentacles as the energy reading for the day.  I do these single card readings to bring us something to ponder and consider for the day, other than the day to day drama that we already live in.  It gives us an opportunity to see things from a new perspective and see if we can learn anything new about ourselves.

The 7 of pentacles has to do with assessing what we have done so far and learning to enjoy the fruits of our labor.  This card is all about having a look at what we've done, where we've come from and planning to move forward, sometimes in a totally new direction.

If this card showed up in a reading for you today, it could indicate that you need to get ready for change and to give up the comfort you've been enjoying.

You need to get a new strategy and prepare to get back to work and start from scratch once more, tilling the ground, planting the seeds and doing the hard work once more.
