Yesterday was a very relaxing day for me :). I actually went on a day trip so was not home to do my daily tarot card on the blog, but suffice it to say that it was a much needed getaway from my previously busy week. And from the looks of today’s card, I’m in for another busy week (or day at least).
Tarot Deck: Nigel Jackson Tarot
Tarot Card: Queen of Swords
My personal interpretation:
This card definitely tells me that there will be much activity within today and much work needing to get done. While I would like to believe that I am the Queen, my intuition tells me that I am not. There will be another women who plays a part in my day as well. She seems like she would be stern and almost hard-nosed, but I cannot say she’s wicked or anything like that. If anything, I need some discipline and she will assist me in obtaining it. She may even become my protector in some sense.
Also, the card shows me that there may be a period of time today when it seems that things are not going my way, however, I still need to work through it to see the end results clearly. There will also be some level of isolation as well. Near the end of the day, I would expect to see some rewards for my efforts in the day.
Interpretation from the book:
A widow; sadness; spiritual struggle over material odds; meticulousness.
My personal interpretation actually varies a bit from what the book says, but one thing I’ve learned with the tarot, go with your own intuition, even if it’s not the same as what’s in the book. Once you trust what your body and spirit is telling you through the card, you’ll find you no longer need to use the book. Base you reading on how the card feels to you, and what the card tells you through its imagery. Think of the book as a loose guideline :).
I’ll update you this evening when it’s time for me to get ready for bed so you can see how this card played out in my life today!
