The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Six of Poetry (Cooperation): "Gods are visions of the eternal attributes, or divine names: They ought to be the servants, and not the masters of man... Cooperating in the bliss of Man obeying his Will Servants to the infinite & Eternal of the Human Form". Ability to evoke what you need by using personifying and mythologizing as creative tools. Special help is on the way. Accessing your own unconscious powers. Creative traveling. Soaring to success through teamwork. Dealing with those in high places. Acting as the courier of important information. In the creative process: This is a time to rely on your intuition to invoke the "eternal attributes" you need to get the job done; cooperate with your visions.

I have always used this time in my blogging to reflect on interpersonal issues, I have seldom sought guidance in the Tarot. Today is different and sadly unfulfilling. What is happening in my life has nothing to do with cooperation with outside forces or creative travelling. Perhaps I should attempt a little meditation, travel to an unconscious place. At least maybe inspiration for a poem or such, perhaps. Anyway, of to the mundane, the work, and the boring.

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Whirlwind: Winds of change bring new visions, opportunities. A god-send or stroke of luck. Outer turmoil concealing inner truth. Stretching your boundaries. Reaching a turning point. Unseen forces churning below the surface. A good time to honor your gods.

Who wouldn't rather be lucky than good, right? I expect no revelations or incredible insight today, but perhaps motivation to complete tasks that I have been expecting to have done for some time now. I did however stretch some boundaries today and apply to be a celebrity impersonator at some bar off of Craigslist. I've never acted, don't know how, but I think my outgoing personality will make up for my lack of experience. I expect nothing, but who knows. If something happens, I will let everyone know.

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Eight of Science (Restriction): Being limited by mental obstacles, or by logical constraints. Feeling confined or blinded by the situation. A captive of your own ideas, anxieties, or dogmatic attitudes. Fear of failure. Repressed desires. Being in denial. Feeling frustrated or powerless. In the creative process: Make your obstructions or limitations productive by stimulating greater intensity of thought and a deeper sense of spiritual freedom.

What an interesting card considering the fantastic weekend I just had. I don't have many questions after or constrictions, only to offer that I have found even deeper meanings in someone I care about. This is also a difficult card to deal with in that I simply do not worry. I used to worry, maybe, but honestly I don't even remember a time when worry was a part of my life. In the end however, I've always like the art on this piece, even if it is a sad, bound god figure.

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Stars: Renewal of hope. Feeling connected with cosmic or universal energies. As Above, So Below. Opening your eyes to the highest potential of your situation. Getting in touch with your own creative powers. Self-esteem. Far-reaching effects. Receiving recognition for your abilities. Doing your own thing, no matter what.

Now this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!! It's time for me to return to who I am, what I've become and focus on where I'm going. I feel her again, my muse is awakening. I worried that I would forget, that my addiction would subside, and I would find new interests. Instead I kept my faith, allowed myself to rest, and now I am prepared to continue my journey. The tides of the journey ebb and flow, but persistance accounts for so much in my life. It's good to feel as if I am "back". Cheers!

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Two of Poetry (Individuality): "Every Mans Wisdom is peculiar to his own Individuality". Making choices based on personal perception. Evaluating the appearances of things. Exploring alternative ways of looking at a situation. Looking beyond ego-concerns to spiritual ones. Searching for self-knowledge. Deciding between societal and individual points of view. In the creative process: Distinguish between the expression of your Self and the expression of your ego; discover the difference between wise individuality and unwise individualism.

Interesting concept. It is one thing to be one's own person. However turning others off in process is not a noble endeavour. You should not change for others, but there is no shame in comforming - norms are what they are for a reason. You are not a rebel, a unique snowflake, or the most precious grain of sand. You are however the center of your own universe and that is an important distinction, I believe. These cards allow me to keep my way and so I partake for now.

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Union: The successful coming-together of something vitally important to you. Getting your act together at last. The joining of male and female forces, or unification or inner and outer life. Not holding anything back. Being at the center. Completion. Spiritual self-sacrifice.

The joining of two halves? Not exactly the inspiration I was hoping for, although perhaps a joining of my creative side (which I have always viewed as femine) with my more direct, rigid nature (the masculine). I really need to get on the ball and make some weighty choices soon. I have had fun being here, blogging, and participating. Play time is over however and buckling down seems to be modus operandi lately. Sadly the world is filled with fun, interesting things I would SO much rather be doing that actual work. My goal was to enjoy the five years after my last major life change - divorce, and then figure it out after getting things "out of my system". I do not believe I can hold on that long, although time will tell.

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Angel of Music: "Like as an angel glitt'ring in the sky, / In times of innocence and holy joy: / The joyful shepherd stops his grateful song. / To hear the music of an angel's tongue". A surge of passionate emotion. A call for compassion in the situation. A need to rise above a mundane or materialistic milieu. Possibility of being granted a favor or indulgence. An unexpected emotional influence. Emerging impulse to personal transformation. Development of appropriate aesthetic sensibility. Intuitive awareness of public needs or the mass media. In the creative process: An inrush of excitement or appearance of a new factor offers alternative possibilities for your work.

To hear the angels sing in my ear. What an event to look forward to. My goals as of late are to ensure that the mundane ceases to creep into my life. I want to be excited, passionate, do all the things I want to do to make life worth living. It's not easy, but the days grow filled with greater emotional joy.

"Emerging impulse to personal transformation. Development of appropriate aesthetic sensibility."

Hrmmm, I do need a new wardrobe tonight and I was inspired the previous evening. Somewhat mundane but a still needed change in my life. I look forward to discovering what today holds for me.

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Six of Painting (Assistance): Giving or receiving favors or tangible help of some kind. Sponsorship or patronage. A positive influence in the situation. Although "over your head," an angel may rescue you. Generosity of spirit. Being charitable. Assisting those in need. In the creative process: You can attract the assistance and tools you need by using your imagination and not giving up hope.

Assistance from a benefactor, something I could use right about now. I do not rely on others, but to accept guidance from them is another thing entirely. I love connecting with people who know more than I do, in that I can learn from them. Sadly, I have one mind numbing meeting today that may interfere with my mentorship meeting later on. I think I'm motivated enough today to start accomplishing tasks I've put off for far too long.

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Child of Painting: Riding the wave of prosperity. A time to show your hand and reveal your innate powers. Enjoying a position of material advantage. Putting forth charisma. Hedonistic enjoyment. Drug experimentation. Surfing the Internet. Total absorption in your activities. Trusting your body and instincts. Open to new experiences. In the creative process: Now is a time to experiment with processes and materials, taking great pleasure in what you learn and create.

Where the hell did this come from? I certainly do not feel like experimenting today. I was more - put to the test, so to speak. I've worked on my inner self for so long, molding it, changing it, making it what I wished it to be. Steel untested will never have its strength proven. I do not fear that I won't pass, because I already have. I have certainly come out better than when I started. Let's see if class tonight will spark my creativity!

The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Ten of Painting (Delight): Your work or ideal takes on a life of it own. Financial prosperity. Achievement or promotion on the job. Inheriting something of tangible or permanent value. Family gatherings and traditions. Finding your roots. Active involvement in community and societal spheres. In the creative process: The success of completion of your project is cause for celebration and an opportunity to honor all the gods and spirits that participated in your benefit.

Is it yet time to take joy in my hard work? Of this I am doubtful, but one never knows. What I am certain of is that my efforts lately have been on a much grander scale than previously experienced. I am appreciative of all who've touched me and all who I have touched. I would not trade this life for any other, as I am the best me there is. My choices are my own and I make them with eyes wide open. The engine of self discovery creates its own energy.
