Six of Cups.

You may be asking, dear reader (...i.e. me, six months hence, give or take a day) why the heck I am posting Tarot Cards.

Well let me tell you. I found a pack. That's it, no other reason LOL

So then curiosity drove me to find out how to use the blessed things and I found a site saying the simplest reading was to shuffle and pick a card, and that told your fortune for the day.

Simple, eh?

Except... I generally go to bed about 1am.

So, I've been drawing the cards before bed, because.. like... it's already the next day, y'know?

Now somebody please tell me that the six of cups means "realise you've been an idiot" because it suddenly dawns on me that of course time is arbitary, so the fact that it is now past midnight probably means diddly-squat to poor old six of cups.

Or does it? I mean... well... what time zone do the mystic powers of tarot operate in?

So the question, dear reader, is do the cards I've been drawing relate to the day I've just had (See weds, below), or the day I'm about to (today... in about 8 hours)... Have I just had a six of cups day, or a two of wands day? huh? huh?

;-)

TEN MINUTES LATER: I'll let you decide...

Six of Cups

Two children among six flowering cups. There is a great deal of rich and complex symbolism in this card, but in a nutshell, it is a frozen moment of perfect balance, the boy and the girl both touching that one cup with the flower in it. I like to think of this as taking place in early spring, still cold enough for the girl to wear mittens, but warm enough for the first flowers to have blossomed. The girl, possibly accepting the flower, looks up and sees the boy, and he, perhaps giving the flower, sees her as well. Perhaps, on that cup, their hands touch for the first time. It is a charming moment of recognition, of puppy love. The meaning of this card refers to a moment of nostalgia, of something or someone from our past coming back into our life. Given an old photo, or an invitation to a school reunion, we get, in return, a memory of harmony. Perhaps we meet with a friend, relative or teacher we haven't seen in years and the exchange of memories restores to us past love, past balance. We rediscover lost equilibrium and a solution that we could never have found in the present.

Two of Wands

Usually a person choosing one wand over another. Wands are passion, and passion is not something that works when split. It requires a single focus. This card indicates a choice to be made, but the instincts are right, and the choice made, where to put your energy and passion, will be a right one.



EDIT: TEN MINUTES LATER

OK so I asked the tarot - obvious, eh?
I asked "if I draw a card now, does it tell me my fortune for tomorrow?"
The card was the right way up. And it was a chariot. My interpretation of which, is the Tarot saying "Well... err.. it could be... but maybe not... you know what? whatever"
Well, thanks Tarot :-p
