I haven't done a reading since Christmas, its been too hectic and stressful. The children had a wonderful time, making it all worth while. Today I am doing a small reading for the week ahead (Thurs to Thursday, strange I know) with the Fenestra Tarot by Chatriya. I pulled the 'Knight of Pentacles', the 'Seven of Swords and the 'High Priestess'.
Fenestra Tarot
The 'Seven of Swords' in the middle always make me think "uh oh, am I going to be mean this week?" But it may also imply just looking out for myself. The fact that the boy leaves two Swords behind shows that he left the camp
something, so they will be OK too. Alternatively, perhaps someone is going to do
me over!
The 'Knight of Pentacles' is someone who wants a change or, is going to experience a change on the home, money or work front. Perhaps this relates to my studies because my studies will hopefully change my money situation and especially my home situation in the future (*remembers to ring up to update the housing application*)
'The High Priestess' tells me that something is waiting to happen, something that is going to be to my benefit. 'The High Priestess' signals that an inner desire wants to become reality, I just have to find a way to make it so.
To put them all together, I think that the ''Knight of Pentacles' despite his unwillingness to change, needs to make a change. I say this because, when I look at these cards, I think they are telling me to start getting on top of my housing application so I can move out of this flat. I am not keen on moving at all. The only reason I need to move is because the flat will become too small with three children and two bedrooms. I have accounted for this and have a sofa bed, so when the little one is a little older, the two boys and girl can be divided into their own rooms and I can sleep in the living room. This flat is perfect, although subject to noisy and base neighbours. It has a wonderful view, perched up in the tree's, its right next to both primary and secondary school and the local forest.
The 'Seven of Swords' may point out that I need to get out of here. That I will be leave a good flat (the two Swords left behind) for a much better deal (the five Swords in his hand). Swords are about thought and assertiveness, Perhaps I need to turn my thoughts away from holding on to this perfect flat and to focus on the thought of obtaining something even better. I mustn't feel scared, or undeserving (which I do), but forthright. (*Has the address for the housing aplication and is going to send it off today.
The 'High Priestess' is a card that really appeals to me, she sums up my hidden being,my hopes that may be obtained by moving somewhere better. Somewhere free-er and quieter and closer to nature. Somewhere in the village I live now, but in a house. I think what I would like is peace from my drug ridden and abusive neighbours. I think the 'High Priestess' would sum up peace and quiet quite nicely.
Perhaps the whole spread is saying that if I stop being against change (Knight of Pentacles), and go for it by sending in my housing application (Seven of Swords), my hidden desires shall materialise and I shall find an even better place than this! (High Priestess).
But the above is just one piece of advice for the whole week. What about the week in general? Make some changes on the home front? Do some housework? My older boy is getting a bit out of hand with his cheekiness. He is like the 'Seven of Swords' always trying to get one up on me. Perhaps I need to focus on changing him! The 'High Priestess' on the end tells me that something my happen, a good thing but I don't know what. Maybe as a result of being 'selfish' or through someone else's selfishness? Maybe I just need to take time out (Seven of Swords), then I will allow my inner intuition to break through making life a little easier.
Perhaps I am going to experience some changes on the home front (Knight of Pentacles) and I need to take them and use them to my advantage (Seven of Swords). This way I will open up a whole new world of potential (High Priestess)! The 'Knight of Pentacles' and the 'Seven of Swords' seem to be moving away from 'The High Priestess', as if to uncover her so that she can be seen.
UPDATE 11:16
I just got a letter from the Housing Service asking me to update my application! I am going to do it right now and send it off!
UPDATE 15/01/10 07:33
Looks the cards were also telling me that the Ol' Man, was going away for the weekend to punish me and the children, after I told him off for pestering me for nooky all the time! What a prick! At least I know from the cards, that he is being sly deliberately. He wont show up during the week either, so it looks like it will be a long week indeed.
UPDATE 15/01/10 07:33
Upon second thought (this is a tricky one) it seems the Ol' Man is being sly somewhere along the way. I've bailed him out this week with money and he's acusing me of not doing what I should be doing (ha ha, not until he marries me, and even then I'd say no, apparently the more intelligent the women, the less likely she is to get married!) The 'Knight of Pentacles' is the Ol' Man's instability on the money front, since Court cards primarily relate to people in the Querent's life. The 'Seven of Swords' indicates his slyness and self interest because it likes next to it. And the 'High Priestess' advises me to rely on my own intuition and to be true to my womanly self! Since this was a weekly reading, it looks like this situation might go on for a while. The cards also warn me to protect what is mine, so if he thinks he's getting away with it, he's wrong! The housing application interpretation still stands, since that is what came to me first.
There is an a deep seated feeling in my soul, an exciting one, as if something is going to happen or wants to be set free. 'The High Priestess' stirs within me and I love it :)
