Tarot Reading for the Day —June 19, 2023
Today I’m doing a tarot card reading using the Somnia Tarot by Nicholas Bruno.
The reading is in my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtqojrhsDwi/?igshid=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==

If these cards came up in response to a particular question, this is how I would read only three cards (to fit in the space of an Instagram caption).
Let's say "Susan" is having difficulty with a coworker ("Barb") who has been over-dominant in meetings.

I worked for many years and earned a reasonably good salary, with modest annual increases based on my performance.
Then I realized I could provide more value.

Then I realized I could provide more value.
After realizing that, in three years, I grew my annual salary by more than 75%.
I have dealt with many of the challenges you face.
Let's work on solving those problems.
I can help you find a better way.
]]>Today I want to consider the Five of Pentacles and Five of Swords.
While Pentacles represent external achievement, wealth, prosperity and possessions, the Five of Pentacles reflects hardship and want. Neither of these people depicted are advantaged.
]]>Today I want to consider the Five of Pentacles and Five of Swords.
While Pentacles represent external achievement, wealth, prosperity and possessions, the Five of Pentacles reflects hardship and want. Neither of these people depicted are advantaged.
Swords represent action and accomplishment, but the Five of Swords depicts actions in a time of conflict, with two people walking away from an apparent battle or conflict with swords, and one person making off with their swords.
On their faces, neither of these two Fives are very positive.
So then what should one think when these cards appear in a reading? Of course, consider the placement relative to other cards and the nature of the specific question. Is the person seeking options to make a decision? Or is the person trying to make a choice between already-identified options? Are these cards telling us about something from the past, present or future? \
There are other considerations about the circumstances of the reading, of course. What hardships have you already endured? What do you do to avoid creating a mess for yourself? How do you handle battles?
Do you fight it to the death or give up as soon as conflict surfaces? Often the Five of Pentacles is a card of warning, of caution. If you have done something risky that could harm you, depending on other possible events, can you rescue the situation? If yes, how?
If you are the winner in a recent conflict, or you think you will be the winner in a current fight, is that the best place to be? What if being the winner makes you look like a bully? What do people observing the situation think, since they only know a few things?
These are only some of the questions to consider when you receive a reading, and the Tarot can help you find those answers and make those decisions.

New beginnings. Where to make a fresh start?
Reinvention is something that we can do several times in our lives. It can happen to us, without our initiating it, or we can make it happen by manifesting a series of events.

Reinvention is something that we can do several times in our lives. It can happen to us, without our initiating it, or we can make it happen by manifesting a series of events.
I hesitate to use that word "manifesting," because it sounds much more "woo woo" than I'm usually comfortable with. But sometimes, it's the right word, in the sense of bringing about a situation or circumstance.
What can make you ready for a fresh start? Ah, this is where the sadness of the Five of Cups comes in. If you have tried several things and they haven't worked for you, if they haven't manifested the situation you want, then it's time to try something new.
Think of it this way: if you invested $1000 in a mutual fund that has turned out to perform really badly, and you've lost money for the last six months, it may be time to cut your losses, sell those shares, and put the money toward a smarter, better investment: one that will manifest the kinds of results you want.
