Yesterday I sent a text message to the Ol' Man asking him to come around but didn't get a reply. It looks like the Court card at the beginning of the yesterday's reading, specifically meant that the Ol' Man had walked away from the argument!
Today's reading asks "What do I need to know today?" and using the Sacred Rose Tarot I drew the 'Five of Pentacles', 'Eight of Cups' (second time in a row) and the 'Two of Cups'.
Sacred Rose Tarot
There aren't any Court cards in this reading, so no implication of the Ol' Man. The 'Five of Pentacles' traditionally means poverty of physical wealth and possessions, I don't think I am that skint! The man in the picture approaches a flower bursting with coins - perhaps my riches lie today in nature. I am planning on taking the children to the park, the snow has melted and the sun shines giving me a happy, sparkling spirit feeling inside.
The 'Eight of Cups' appeared yesterday and, if tied in with yesterdays reading and today's 'Two of Cups', indicates that the Ol' Man and I's separation will end. Or, that the Ol' Man isn't coming back and I'll meet someone new! That seems unlikely, but then I must read the cards without taking into consideration what I think will or won't happen.
Both the 'Five of Pentacles' and the 'Eight of Cups' traditionally seem to indicate an emptiness. With the Ol' Man gone things do feel a little lonely for me, but at the same time has created some breathing space and time off from worrying about him - like the lady of the 'Eight of Cups' who pushes her feelings away into the sea. But, in that breathing space I have found some poetry that has filled me with new feeling and vision, feeling and vision that money cannot buy, like the coin flower in the 'Five of Pentacles' and feeling show by the overflowing cups in the 'Two of Cups'.
Perhaps the first two cards show a bad trip to the park. Perhaps my young dog will be a pain in the ass again and sibling rivalry will make me want to go back home! The 'Two of Cups' makes the day look like it will end a good note. Perhaps a reunion with the Ol' Man, or perhaps another heartfelt evening with poetry!
The quintessential card will be 5+8+2=15 'The Devil'! If there is a reunion with the Ol' Man it means going back to the old ways of feeling cramped and guilty - that I should be pandering to the Ol' Man. I don't think its his fault, I think its a deep ingrained instinct that a women cannot be happy unless everyone else is. The 'Two of Cups', a lesser form of 'The Lovers' shows that choosing to be with one love (the Ol' Man) results in the loss of another (emotional freedom).UPDATE 18/01/2010 09:42
Well, it was a pretty empty day. The dog was a pain the ass (I think she's got PMT!) and the children had to wind each other up, the rain set in and we all went home. There wasn't really a 'Two of Cups' moment, although I did start to miss the Ol 'Man a tiny bit. I always think that his disappearance is the end of the line. I mean to ignore your Mrs isn't a good sign for a good relationship, which is why I won't bother too pursue him, dignity or stubbornness, I don't know. Perhaps the 'Two of Cups' is telling me that we will sort it out, and 'The Devil' says it will be back to the old ways, where the prospect of a repeat disappearance is likely.
