What a
downhearted, sorrow full bunch of cards
this is. I've pulled them from my Anna K
tarot without any specific question. The
Nine of Rods was my first card and it set the theme for this spread. This
card is all about taking the time to regroup yourself after some serious
battles. The man is obviously hurt, dead tired and on guard for the next
attack.
I can
relate to this card since we have a lot of things to work out around new social
security rules for M and what the officials expect from her and if she able to meet
those expectations. Since this isn't the first and certainly won't be the last time we have to deal with this
kind of trouble, we are a bit inclined to expect the worst. So I asked the cards if
there was a better way to approach such a situation and I got The Emperor and the Three of Swords.
At first
glance it seemed like a dreary set of cards filled with grumpy characters and
sadness and lots of greyish colors. But when I looked closer I could see some
sound advise here. The Emperor will guide us through the maze of rules and
regulations. He urges us to learn about them so we will be sufficiently prepared once we have to meet with the officials.
Also he advises us to detach ourselves emotionally which is highlighted by the
Three of Swords. There is no reason to get all sad and broken hearted yet. Most likely the officials aren't; set out to hurt us and we
don’t always have to be prepared for the worst case scenario. Maybe everything will work out fine just as usual.
So although
these cards look all sad and grey I am very pleased with them today and they’ve
put a smile on my face
