Deck: Housewives Tarot
I got The Housewives Tarot a few months ago but, for various reasons, haven’t had the chance to truly sit down and spend some time with them until today- which is a real shame because I absolutely love this deck. (I’ll put together another post to talk about the deck soon.) For now, though, it’s time for another one of my “new deck” intro reading. :D
I usually use a spread with specific position/question assignments for this type of reading, but I thought I’d keep it loose like the one I did to ask about my Lenormand journey. So! Just a general 3-card draw, asking how my relationship with the Housewives deck would be like:
The cards are 2 of Wands + King of Wands + 5 of Wands
I had to laugh the moment I took a good look at these three cards. Well, this deck definitely knows how to get right to the heart of the matter and in quite a practical sense too!
Daily Tarot: Things Put in Motion

Deck: Morgan Greer Tarot
Spread: General 3-Card Draw
After doing my daily Lenormand this morning, I decided to draw a few cards from my Morgan Greer to see how the cards correlate (if at all). I also wanted to see the bigger picture, which I felt the Tarot usually more able to give me than the Lenormand.
The cards are Wheel of Fortune, 3 of Rods, Emperor
Daily Lenormand: Tower + Gentleman + Letter
Posted on Friday, May 29, 2009 at 11:16 am
Deck: Blue Owl - Lenormand
Spread: General 3-Card Draw
The cards are 19 Tower + 28 Gentleman + 27 Letter
I drew these cards earlier for my daily and immediately thought of the reading I did yesterday about waiting for a reply from G.
Tower+Gentleman is a man who’s in authority or holds power, especially within a corporate company, which would definitely apply to G. Gentleman+Letter would be a message from this man. According to the reading I did yesterday, I should receive a (positive) reply within 2 days and if my draw today is any indication, then it’d be today. :)
If, on the off chance, this reading is not talking about G’s message… then perhaps I will be receiving some kind of message from a man with Tower characteristics (ambitious, possibly cold or arrogant, tall, maybe even lonely) which could be possible as I’m supposed to hear from someone like that one of these days. Or a different interpretation could be a message from official people or places, but for this one, I’m more inclined to think the Bear would appear in place of the Gentleman.
Will update later tonight!
Update!
@ 9:32PM: Around mid-afternoon, I received my reply from G- both via phone call and email… so, yes, today’s draw was telling me that I should expect to hear from him today after all! :) I also drew 3 tarot cards today that can correlate with today’s reading, as well as the reading where I asked about the response. The post has been updated with more details… and the daily tarot draw should go up shortly too.
Lenormand Reading: Things Looking Up at Work?
Posted on Friday, May 29, 2009 at 03:11 am
Deck: Blue Owl - Lenormand
Spread: Line of Five
With all the readings I’ve been doing regarding work, I’m sure it’s obvious by now that I’m having a lot of issues in that area. I’m at the last stretch though, and depending on how everything turns out, I may either end up leaving the company or possibly “end” what I was doing and get promoted or something similar. I know that sounds contradicting, but the situation is rather complicated.
I’ve recently just finished up the 1st phase of a major mock-up and proposal for a project that we’ve been working on for over a year only to be demolished completely by my liar of a manager’s horrible misdoings. Depending on how well this is received, it’s basically the decisive point for a lot of issues including my position within the company… so in short, it’s very important, and I’ve barely slept all week just trying to complete it.
I sent the files out to G, who is a key figure within the company and also someone who has been helping me greatly in this whole mess. He was the one who gave me this opportunity and assignment, as well as the person who would coordinate with my department head about all this in order to come up with the final verdict. However, I haven’t heard back from him at all after 2 days, which is very strange for him because he’s been waiting for this and is also usually very good at getting back to me immediately. I’m a bit worried, so I drew some cards to ask why I haven’t heard from him yet- with a bit of timing thrown in, as well as the circumstances surrounding the topic. Here’s what I have:
The cards are 28 Gentleman + 17 Storks + 2 Clover + 14 Fox + 31 Sun
NOTE! This entry has been updated with additional results and feedback!
Daily Tarot: Reconciling the Differences
Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 at 11:01 pm
Deck: Morgan Greer Tarot
Spread: General 3-Card Draw
The cards are Queen of Rods, 6 of Cups, Knight of Pentacles
Which am I? The Queen of Rods with her fiery, passionate nature… filled with her creative ideas, wanting to pursue these dreams and see her visions come to life? Or the Knight of Pentacles with his ever reliable self who diligently continues on the practical path to get things done in a nonsensical fashion, because he has obligations and he’s nothing short of responsible? It is, after all, the only proper way to be… isn’t it?
After the kind of mental self-beating I had yesterday, it really should come as no surprise that these were the cards I drew today. The split between my two inner selves have only become more prominent- the restlessness in me who desires so strongly to go chasing after my dreams and the more sensible side of me that’s demanding I stay put and keep things stable and safe.
It’s obvious as well, that my memories of those simpler days of the past has been featuring quite prominently in my mind. These nostalgic feelings and remembering what it was that I wanted out of my life have been both a wake-up call and my worst enemy in all this. Yet in some ways, as difficult as this stage might be for me, it is also something that I need to face.
So how can I make a choice between the two? I can’t and I don’t, as one is as much a part of me as the other. And though the 6 of Cups may be wreaking havoc in my self right now, I’m also recognizing the harmony between the boy and the girl in the card. Somehow, I need to find a way to reconcile the differences and find a balance within myself. Whether the Queen of Wands or the Knight of Pentacles, they can both be a strength in their own right after all…
