Daily Draw: (21)Mountain+(33)Key+(23)Mice extra card (16)Stars

Boy! do these 4 cards say a mouthful! There are 2 ways to read these, right off the bat:

The Mountain+Key combination talks of significant delays….something of importance have been really delayed! and the Mice card is showing the frustration and stress that these delays have caused.

Thank goodness for the Stars card - because this is one of the best cards in the deck to me it’s very strongly reassuring me that whatever difficulties you might be in, there is an answer to them, and that success is just around the corner. It hints at positive outcomes–whew!

The other slant I could take with this is that this delay was designed by Fate, (Mountain+Key) to bring about a lesson/stress that was karmic in nature; but again working out ok with the Stars. Now I just had a discussion with my husband on webcam that reflected just this thought. He had been deeply thinking about the events and the trials and tribulations of the past year, and he said that it had really changed his perspective as to what was important in life. That championing a cause, fighting the fight, wasn’t worth hurting your family or your health, and that had he had it to do all over again, he definitely would have made different choices. He went on to promise that his priorites have changed, and he was determined to be a better husband and family man….this touched me deeply.

He is a good husband, I wouldn’t have stayed 8 years if he weren’t! but his eye has been on things that were different than me, many times. Having had a near death experience when I was 18, changed the way I viewed life completely, and I’ve been accused a few times of taking everything a little too much in my stride I just don’t try to sweat the material stuff so much any more, because I know it’s ever changing. Hubbie, seems to be getting to that point. He said that if he could deal with people and situations the way he dealt with the squirrels and the ducks, (unconditionally) then he would have cracked it! lol  This was MUSIC to my EARS! lol  my husband can be VERY INTENSE! which in turn, puts everyone around him on edge…. so maybe, just maybe, all that we have endured these past 5 years will bring about a major change in the dynamics of our family. Maybe this really was all by design….(I’ve also been accused of always looking for the silver lining! lol) Oh well….

Daily Draw:(8)Coffin+(35)Anchor+(6)Clouds+(19)Tower

I’m a little late today–my computer and my external hard drive are saying that they’re full up! lol so I’ve been busy burning dvds to save everything–joys of technology.

Today I drew the Coffin+Anchor+Clouds+Tower. The images posted are of the Brepolis Lenormand deck, and the Clouds card doesn’t look all that cloudy to me! lol At any rate, this was another great draw, and made me grin.

The Coffin card says that there is change in the air, and the END of something. The Anchor tells us that it’s the end of something that’s been around for a long time. Anchor+Clouds describes day-to-day exisitence, and instability (been alot of that this year)- but the Clouds+Tower really caught my eye: that’s referring to a lawsuit!!

I updated the other day, that the judge ruled in favor of my husband, in his long drawn out fight with the crook guru. Now we await judgement on amounts, or an out of court settlement. I honestly think, that this, along with a few other readings I’ve had in the last few days, that she is about to settle this once and for all. Our lawyer is meeting with her this week..so I am really holding my breath!

Daily Draw: (21)Mountain + (32)Moon +(13)Child extra card: (23)Mice

I immediately thought of my step-daughter when I saw this. The Mountain feels a bit ominous to me; there are delays, things are drawn out, it’s the feeling of being isolated..it can also represent a refusal to see things as they are, a state of denial!

 The Mountain + Moon can describe someone who is emotionally disconnected in some way; and also possibly the fear of intimacy. This would describe her very well, sadly. She’s incredibly bright (sometimes I think she’s on the verge of genius!) but very closed off emotionally. She’s one of those people who resides solely in their mind.

The Child card respresents her, and the extra card, shows her stress & distress. I think she’s depressed in a sense, looking at the Moon and the Mice. The Mice being just an extra card, also shows our worry around her. Another thought that came to me immediately seeing the Mountain, is that maybe my husband would end up staying longer than he first planned. I got a call this morning that her eyes were worse, and that they were rushing back into the doctor’s office..so this isn’t looking too good at the moment. The Mountain can also warn of danger..

Another completely different thought on this draw, was that it was about someone else! The Moon+Child can refer to a girl or adolescent. Possibly there is a delay around plans because this girl is sick with a bug! Well see….I certainly hope not.

Update: I was right, it had to do with my husband and my step-daughter. He decided Monday night to extend his stay until sometime next week to be with her and take care of her. They’re having some good bonding time, although under very strange circumstances!

Reading using Madame Seaqueen’s Trigger Layout~

Now that my husband is safely on board a plane, on his way to his daughter for a few days, I thought I would share a reading that I did on July 15th (Tuesday). At the time, I wasn’t quite sure what I had, because it was so strange…but I noted down the different bits, and just shrugged my shoulders. Only 3 days later, it all became crystal clear that the reading was about my stepdaughter! I thought I’d share it so that you could see how descriptive the cards really can be, even if you don’t ‘get it’ right off the bat! The spread was created by Madame Seaqueen, and one that I like to use alot

So here we go:

 

       Past              Now       Immediately     Near Future

Trigger Row - (above)

Trigger Row: (this row gives you a general overview for what the reading is about)-

• Fox+Woman+Coffin+Tower

I had originally thought that this was describing a deceitful, manipulative woman…..wrong!  It’s describing a working woman (Fox+Woman) who is a bit depressed, a bit down..doing a bit of negative thinking.. what about? literally where she works, the BANK (Tower)!

Past: Storks+Fox+Cross- my stepdaughter has just about completed an agreement she made to stay a few years at this branch of the bank…it was with the understanding that she would be able to leave in Oct. and get to pick what and where she wanted to go…it included a promotion as part of the deal…they have been not too subtly, trying to coerce her into staying put, which she refuses to do and she’s worried that the dream job promised, isn’t going to materialize. Storks+Fox =job promotion, or postive job change; and Cross shows that anguish as to whether it will happen.

Present: Key+Woman+Lily - I was initially having trouble piecing this part together, but I just had an ‘Aha’ moment! The Key can pertain to a very important event happening in your life. The Key teaches important lessons as well. If the Key were combined with the Woman card, it tells us that this female is spiritually/karmically connected to us…that she is a very important person in our lives…

I was having trouble trying to place what the Lily meant in this instance; at first I wondered if it was just describing her father? (my husband?) or if the trio was describing an important older woman in her life? (maybe this is describing me, as we are close, and I am helping her understand what’s going on…) somehow, that didn’t quite satisfy me! lol and then it HIT BIGTIME!

I re-read bits that Sylvie had written about the Lily in her book, The Secrets of the Lenormand Oracle, and it popped! The Lily card, also corresponds to the eyes/vision!! This is exactly what this spread is all about! My step-daughter was having a major, scarey event pertaining to her eyes and her vision! I just find this really amazing-

Immediate: Mice+Coffin+Whips- And here is the crux of it, and why I didn’t have a clue what I was looking at. The Mice shows the major stress and worry that she is under, and the Coffin+Whips combined, can have the meaning of mutilation, or self-destructive behaviors!

My step-daughter has a long history of sleepwalking (as do I)- and she’s done some funny things in the past. For both of us, it  seems to manifest when we’re under pressure, or extreme stress, or when we are stuffing down our anger and upsets to try to keep control. Unfortunately, when a sleepwalker does that, it comes out in very odd and different ways. It’s been discovered that in the last few days, in her sleep, she is scratching herself! Both of her eyes had scratches on the cornias, and after wearing her ski goggles to bed the other night, she discovered that she scratched her cheeks! (She’s now on all sorts of medication & drops to try to heal them)- I just never would have dreamt that the cards could be describing such a crazy situation…

Near Future: Child+Tower+Horseman- this should have clued me in, as it describes receiving news concerning a child…but I wouldn’t have guessed correctly about the Tower- it was telling us that we would receive news that she had to go to the hospital because of the injuries!

We have talked about how stress can manifest, and had in the past suggested that she learn more about meditation, and possibly Tai Chi…I think now, she’ll be more open to finding other ways to release the pressure valve….

Aren’t these cards just incredible????!!!!

A timeout today :(

I’ve had a bit of a family emergency- so can’t post at the moment-

please check my sisterblog, The Card Lover where I have posted what’s going on….

will be back tomorrow for sure

Spirity~

ps- I have had an interesting update for my July 13th & 14th draws….please scroll down….. I love it when the cards make themselves real obvious and come about!

Daily Draw: (33)Key+(2)Clover+(14)Fox

I see the Key card, and immediately feel anticipation…what big thing is coming?? Destiny is at play with the Key card…there will be synchronicities happening that if I stay alert, I’ll catch. The Key also says that there are answers coming, there are solutions…so my heart skips a beat! I’m so ready! lol There is something of great import about to happen, and possibly somewhat karmic as well?

So what is this great Key pointing to? Well, with the Clover next to it, there are fortunate, lucky synchronicities at play…there’s a twist of fate that is going to make me smile :)–and with the Fox following up this group, says that all of this pertains to work.

Something interesting, concerning work is afoot….woohoo! Bring it On! lol

update: I have a sneaking suspicion that this karmic, lucky twist of fate has to do with word that came on this very evening that we have won our court case…which had to do with damages over not being paid for work done….the Fox might actually just be describing the manipulative,sneaky person that the lawsuit was against!

Otherwise, it’s still to come around work…

Daily Draw: (23)Mice+(15)Bear+(16)Stars

For my daily draw this morning, I thought I would showcase the Gyspy Lenormand, which is a nice change.

The Mice shows stress and worry, anxiety and frustration… what about? the Bear tells me that it’s around money! (as I write this, my husband is doing a diplomatic dance on the phone with one of the creditors…tough!!!)

The one silver lining in all of this, is the Stars card. It seems to be saying that this is going to pass, that there is relief coming soon? it predicts positive outcomes….all I can say is that it has to come soon to keep this circus afloat! everything seems to be coming down to the wire! I hate that feeling, but I have found this financial challenge more of an opportunity to trust what I get in the cards, and surrender. I know that all the readings aren’t wrong - when they’re so adament in the face of opposition, (as I’ve had many times before) I know it will come true! just in the nick of time

A quick note:

Tonight I launched a new blog! It’s called The Card Lover. I’ve thought about it long enough - and finally decided to do it! It’s about everything other than Lenormand. I wanted a place to play with other card systems and keep here strictly for my study of the Lenormand cards.

Hope you’ll mosey over and say hello once in awhile

Daily Draw: (10)Scythe+(9)Bouquet+(24)Heart extra card: (31)Sun

This was a nice set to see! I can play around and get a few different meanings from them, but however way I go about it, it’s just a nice grouping of cards….

The Scythe card can pertain to decisions being made, and with the Bouquet card following it it says that they are really good ones. The combination can mean positive outcomes, or smart decisions… the Heart card and the Sun show great happiness in a relationship.

This definitely seems to be hinting that something happens that brings about a very light, happy feeling between my mate and me that works! lol

The only other thing that pops at me is another meaning for the Scythe+Bouquet combination; it can also refer to crafts/sculpture (which I am very much into!!!) so maybe I get very enthusiastic over a creative project in the near future. I’ve always got my fingers in a couple of artistic pots

Reading using Sylvie’s No Layout Spread~

I had just finished writing this post, and had saved it (supposedly) when I discovered it was all gone!! I mean, ALL GONE!! I’ve been having alot of quirky things going on with electronics around me, has anyone else noticed the same? it’s the energy at the moment, and I’m finding it very frustrating!!!

so  few hours have passed, since I first wrote this but I will try again.

This is a reading that I did for a friend of ours, using Sylvie Steinbach’s No Layout Spread ( normally the cards would all be in one line).

The Sun+Fish is showing a promising, positive business venture, something that will be successful, but with the Clouds there, it hints at the changeable circumstances surrounding it…also the doubts at times. And this is exactly how his business projects have been as of late..lots of promise, but questions as to WHEN!

The Bear being next to my friend is a good sign though- there is money coming in, and it’s literally on his doorstep. The Bear+Man also describes a bit about my friend, who happens to be a financial trader and consultant. The Bear/Man/House also says to me that there will be money to pay the landlord! something he is worrying about right now!

The Bear next to him also made me warn him to eat sensibly! I don’t know if he needs to lose weight, but with the stress he’s been under, maybe his diet hasn’t been all that great

In the near future, the House+Clover+Ship tells me that he will be taking a last minute trip connected to family, possibly a pleasant, family trip.

As it turns out, he mentioned that he was supposed to be going to a family wedding, but didn’t know if he’d have the funds in time…I think he will.

So it looks like things are about to change financially around him, and that he will be able to make a nice trip at the last moment.

I hope I have written this ok- I have been very aggravated with electronics as of late…things keep going screwy! I better quickly upload this before I lose it again! lol

Daily Draw: (24)Heart+(30)Lily+(3)Ship extra card: (1)Horseman

I drew these cards this morning, with the best intentions of posting, but found myself anywhere but near the computer today! a rare occurrence! The featured deck is the Astro Lenormand, which has a very sweet energy to it.

There are 2 thoughts that came to me with this draw….one jumped at me immediately, (and is probably the right one) and the other came to me tonight.

The first idea was that I would be hearing from an old flame, someone I cared about in the past, who lives at a distance. I got the feeling that there would be news around or from this person. Kind of a strange thing to get, but it just jumped out at me! lol Heart +Lily can mean mature lover or life partner, or long term romance, but it just hit me as being an “old love” ….(?) or someone older than me with possibly gray hair (lol) that I care about, who lives far away (ship)….there is news around this person, or I will hear personally from this person. hmmmm…I can think of 2 people who fit that description!

The other thought I had about these cards, was a nice vacation..something restful…(Lily + Ship) that would be a bit of a romantic, loving trip (Heart); and the Horseman brings news of, or a new situation or new people with this trip!  That works! lol although I wouldn’t know how to act at this point. After being in a stressful mode for so long, it would feel kind of strange to relax…isn’t that awful??

update (July 17th): it has turned out to be the first.. I heard from someone who cared for me in the past, who lives overseas. It turns out that he is having heart surgery next week and wanted me to know. So these cards were right on. I’ll be sending some Reiki for the next week or so!

2 Daily Draws!

I drew a set of cards, and saw the cross and decided I didn’t want to go there! lol so I started all over again,…BUT…I kept thinking about the first set of cards and realised what it was about, and wasn’t about me personally.  Here’s the first set:

Luckily (for me), the Cross+House combination can be describing a temple, a synagogue, a church…some kind of religious or spiritual place. When you combine that with the Garden, it is literally spelling out a “Spiritual or Religious group”.  HA! so this is describing that group of people that surround the “false guru” that my husband has been fighting! The Snake card is a welcome card then, because it shows trouble within the group, or trouble makers (Garden+Snake) within the organisation. The snake promises difficulties, jealousies, or defamation…we have had an inkling that one of the members of that group would try defaming my husband, so that’s a possibility too.

The Snake, also refers to 7; the month of July (which we’re presently in), so something could be happening during this month, OR in the next 7 days.  Trust me, I will definitely update if I find out something!

Now to the other draw, which actually relates to the first:

The Mice +Ring combination gives me the meaning of fixing a situation, or a difficult resolution; and the Ring+Anchor combination means a long term agreement. So this looks as though there is finally an end in sight, where somehow, they come to an agreement that ends all of this…but it also hints to me that my husband will have to look at every little nuance in the agreement, looking for loopholes to make sure there isn’t any way this could continue! (Mice can refer to hidden problems).

So seeing these 2 sets of cards, I am convinced that something is about to break on this front, during this month of July……. these cards are SOOOO COOOL!!!!    LOL

Update: We have just heard from our lawyer on Fri.July 18th, that the judge has awarded judgement to my husband and found the cult fraud guilty!! so major snake trouble for them & victory for us!!! WOO HOO!!!

Yesterday’s Daily Draw- (9)Bouquet+(28)Man+(4)House extra card (18)Dog

I have been rushing around trying to get ready for my husband’s birthday, which is today! so I didn’t get a chance to come play These were the cards that I drew yesterday, and I see 2 very on the mark interpretations for them, actually 3!

The first thought was that the they were describing a recovery/healing (Bouquet) with my domestic partner (Man+House+Dog) or just that he’d be happy…

The other way this could be read is that it is describing a nice time with a man we know….he just happens to be a real estate agent and good friend… so, could house and dog represent that? I know that in Sylvie’s book a family friend would be represented as Dog+House, but House+Dog makes total sense to me too.. I wasn’t aware of it until this morning, but he came over to meet with my husband today, and we haven’t seen him in probably 7 months! so this could be referring to him.

The 3rd possibility might be describing recovery/healing of the family, thanks to the friendship of a certain man…our friend and business partner. He called last night with very encouraging news that one of the deals would be manifest on Monday or Tuesday..that means money in the bank! which definitely means recovery to us! lol

So, all three feel valid to me… or maybe I’ll receive flowers from my husband! lol oh brother! more likely he’ll be bugging me to do some gardening/weeding :)  oh well….

update: I woke up this morning and immediately had an aha moment that dropped into my sleepy mind about this draw….really funny how that happens!

I am now certain that these cards were describing another event that happened later that day, and I totally missed it! I had a webcam visit with my adult son who’s in Idaho. When the camera finally clicked on, there he was, and so was his lovely girlfriend! I have never met her, and had only seen a picture or two. The Man+House+Dog was describing her!!

House/Dog = domestic partner…so this was literally describing the man’s domestic partner! it was literal and I simply missed it. The Bouquet was also describing her…happy, light, gracious, full of smiles and the love apparent.

It was really sweet to see them together…….it’s amazing to me that I would miss something so obvious, so busy looking for every nuance that I miss what was right in front of me!  practice practice practice…..

Reading for my husband using Madame Seaqueen’s Trigger Layout~

       Past           Present        Immediate        Soon     

Trigger row (above)

Back to my Piatnik at least for this reading. I did a reading for my husband, after having some interesting developments happen with the legal/criminal case against someone in the states. He keeps getting information, just at the right time, to expose this individual, which at times is nothng short of magic. But having said that, he is tired of it all, and would really like to see his involvement come to an end so that we can move on to brighter, lighter things. I did this spread this morning, and thought it was so clear that I would share it here. Like Tarot Dame I apologise for this one issue to keep coming up, but you can’t help it when you’re sharing personal draws and readings!

This layout comes from Madame Seaqueen, and I use it alot. What I like about it, is that once you identify what the Trigger Row is describing, you’ll most likely have  a story about someone connected to you just as much as about something with yourself. It’s a bit of a puzzle challenge, but definitely brings out alot of information!

The Trigger Row is: Snake+Man+Letter+Key:  This is describing a untrustworthy gentleman, someone who is deceitful and suspect. The Letter+Key is saying that there will be an important letter,email or document coming, connected to this individual.

Without going into details, there is a man who is loyal and has done anything and everything for his female Guru (also possibly the snake card) including purgery. He is a prominent person in society, and it looks as though we’re going to be getting some very important papers from him. So knowing what the subject matter is with the Trigger Row, I can go on and look at the rest with this in mind.

Past: Mice+Snake+Ship-  In the past, there have been been some very disconcerting difficulties, stressful problems that have been coming from quite a distance. There has been intimidation, harrassment, threats….but fortunately, this is leaving. It also describes the severe stress, with the feeling of no end in sight, feelings of being lost….so glad this is in the PAST!

Now: Scythe+Man+Sun- Now what came to me immediately was that there is about to be a decision made, concerning this man and/or my husband, that leads to victory/success. If there is ever going to be a settlement out of court, this man will be involved. I’m just glad to see the Sun there!

Immediately: Clouds+Letter+Cross- This is the only not nice part, but still manageable. In the past, they have publicly defamed my husband, asserting lies to try to get people to ignore the facts…smoke and mirrors… the clouds + letter talks about defamation, tabloids, false advertising etc. and with the Cross, it shows that it’s some kind of grievance, and that it’s troubling to my husband. He’s dealt with it before, so I know he’ll be ok– the Truth will win out.

Future: Clover + Key + Fox-  In the next week to 10 days, this set of cards shows a lucky break for my husband, a wonderful twist of fate.. and the Key + Fox can denote an agreement. I take it to mean this, rather than an important employee, or  important job decision because of the theme of the reading. So even though there will be one last ditch effort to slander, they WILL settle!

This is a fantastic reading to have just before his birthday on Saturday! I will definitely update on this one—

Daily Draw: (7)Snake + (8)Coffin + (21)Mountain extra card (10)Scythe

 

You know at first glance, you might think I should have just swept these away and started over! lol but actually, this isn’t half bad The first combination, made me want to keep the draw…

The Snake + Coffin actually can be a good combo; it denotes a resolution, or the ending of troubles! I can certainly connect to that! lol The Mountain card describes being stuck in treacle…delays, and more delays…everything slooowww.

So just on the face of this draw, there is a resolution, or end to the troublesome delays. With adding the Scythe to the mix, the Mountain + Scythe could be saying a “pending decision”; or the story says to me that there is a resolution, an end to the troubles that have gone on for a long time [coffin+mountain = being stuck, longing, isolation] with a decision that is about to be made.

So all in all, not a bad daily draw…glad I didn’t nix them before studying them! There is a joke in my house with my husband; he continually seemed to get the Snake in his readings for awhile, and he would pray that it wouldn’t appear! but sometimes, it’s not a bad thing to see, just depends on what’s next to it
