Todays tarot cards

 

Knave of Swords: Ma'at's Scribe. A man is writing on a tablet with a sword above him, the symbol of Ma'at, Goddess of truth and justice. This card can indicate surprising news coming my way as well as the need for legal advice or simply to honor my truth and contracts.

Death: Transformation. This is probably the most misunderstood card in the tarot deck as so many think it means physical death, which it can, but it more often means transformation and the eternal cycle of death and rebirth. It often means changes that are coming that will lead to a rebirth.

10 of Pentacles: The Emblems of Power - the Crook and Flail are shown behind 10 coins. This card usually indicates inheritance or revenue from own's family (in form of a loan or investment). It can also be a loan from a business associate or someone of power, a mentor, etc.

I'm hoping this isn't showing me someone in my family will die. My father just turned 76 but is in pretty good health, so I would rather see it as transforming something else to produce wealth or an investor coming my way that will perhaps, cause a transformation in my business?

2 of Pentacles: All pentacles deal with prosperity and wealth and are related to the element of Earth. Here, the card is called Thoth's Power with the 2 pentacles (or coins) are between a baboon, the symbol of Thoth, Lord of Wisdom, who holds the Eye of Horus in his hand. It can indicate a problem to deal with, often financial in nature, and often indicates a problem that is already in the process of being solved.

Knight of Swords: Known as the "Messenger of Ruin" (okay, this is turning into a rather dire reading!) and can indicate anger, fiery temperament, someone arguing or fighting with me. 

6 of Chalices: The White Crown. The crown of ostrich feathers represents intellectual and spiritual purity. The card can indicate a clarity of vision (perhaps brought about by solving the problem the other 2 cards indicate) and useful second thoughts. Chalices also indicate emotions so this card can represent emotional clarity or vision as well.

Finally got the image settings right... I think lol

This is my busiest business season, but at least the cards will be here for me to interpret at another time.

Queen of Swords - She holds the sword defensively in front of her which always speaks to me of defending your actions or trying to make your case in an argument.

Knight of Chalices - The Knight is also a fighter and the chalices represents emotions. Combined with the Queen, my argument might be an emotionally charged one and the cards seem to be warning me to be on guard.

The 8 of Pentacles again - this one has been coming up for me a lot lately (and I randomly insert cards drawn into separate places in the deck and shuffle well). As previously stated, to me this one means financial ventures just starting to grow and not fully realized. 

I am not certain how this relates tot he first 2 cards, though I have had a few negative comments about my business lately that are bothering me, though I know I cannot do anything to sway anyone's opinions and have done the best I am able to in all situations. Perhaps these cards are telling me to stay guarded but not to let them get me too emotionally charged and to allow my growth to continue.

I tend not to draw swords very often - not sure why though perhaps its due to their dealing with intellectual matters and (I think) I have that area fairly well balanced.

The 3 of Swords shows 1 item standing out above the others - an issue that perhaps is annoying or upsetting me that intellectually I know I need to deal with, but perhaps haven't fully yet. It often indicates a sorrow or loss too.

The 2 of Swords is an indicator of balance needed in the situation - to try to see things from both sides and not be judgmental. It might also indicate a partnership.

The 4 of cups is a card of emotion with Nehkbet the Vulture Goddess. It is a reminder to not get too carried away by wishful thinking and to stay focused on the now. To focus on my strengths and not get too carried away by what might have been or what might be.

It seems the cards are telling me to stay focused on the now and keep careful track of things so they don't get ahead of me.  As Halloween is my busy season, this is very good advice to remember! I'm often completely frazzled by the time Halloween is over.

1 of Cups. Cups deal with emotions and the ace of cups is a powerful positive omen for items relating to love, happiness, affection and new beginnings.

8 of Pentacles - Financial growth still to be developed. Haven't come to fruition yet as the lotus flowers are still buds at the end of the staff.

Page of Pentacles - Need to attend to financial records (my taxes are coming due) in order for the growth to continue.  

I seem to be getting a theme with several of the same cards coming up all week. 

Daily Tarot: 9 of Pentacles

Pentacles as a general rule speak of prosperity and finances. Nines generally are about repetition and getting back to basics or the source of an issue.

The nine of pentacles in my deck (photo coming later since I forgot to put my phone on the charger last night :( ) includes the Eye of Horus, a very protective symbol, and a cobra that is also protective but can also be deadly. It reminds us to be watchful of finances or that others are watching out for us. Pentacles can be prosperity of all kinds - not just monetary - and in a reading can indicate abundance in all it's forms: money, relationships, etc.  Drawn alone, it usually indicates money rather than other forms though.
