So, its been far too long since I updated this journal...
Here's my reading for today:
Past: Queen of Swords
Queen of Sorrows, hard work, stress. That would be me the last couple of weeks! Since we got back from vacation (check out our vacation pics!) I've worked EVERY SINGE DAY. But, I should have Tuesday off! This weekend was especially grueling - the Plaza Art Fair was exhausting. I should not have volunteered myself to work as much as I did - I'm sore all over and my hands are cut to shreds, the skin is litterally rubbed off of my fingertips, too. But enough whining - obviously, the card represents all the hard work and stress I've been under since getting back from vacation.
Present: Strength
Overcoming base instincts, "taming the beast within," and I sense a real manifestation of Patience. I've been too lax lately with my diet, my exercise routine, and my house-cleaning. I need to tame the laziness within and take better care of myself.
Future: Ten of Cups
Yay! Happy family, fufillment... the card shows a couple hugging and their two children dancing while overhead there are 10 golden, glowing cups in the sky. Since David and I are trying to start a family, I keep worrying about wether or not we're ready financially, and this card seems to show a joyful family that is comfortable (there's a large house in the background). But MOST importantly, the family is shining with love and joy.
You know, it strikes me that when I did a reading about getting pregnant before, the Hight Priestess was the card - the two pillars seemed very significant to me. Now, I pull a card showing two children as my Future card. Should I be preparing for twins?!
Posted by Tarotchick at September 21, 2003 11:01 PMTwins? That would rock! Well, they would be difficult, but they would each have a playmate growing up and you wouldn't have to go through a second pregnancy to get pass that whole only child situation. Plus without twins you have that whole jealousy thing when the second child comes. When my great aunt Bina was born my grandma took one look at her new sister and said, "I don't like her, take her back."
I don't remember if I was jealous of Matan, but when Ben was born Matan and I were such total shits to him. It was like a game, seeing how quickly we could piss mom off by bugging Ben, or by calling him "Benji" or by being bad influences on him.
On the other hand, we could almost always get him giggling by singing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme to him.
