3 Month Time Tree Spread for myself

This spread was done for myself, to determine what the next 3 months will bring. I chose the Paulina Tarot, by Paulina Cassidy.

1 represents the Past. The card was The Magician. We've been very focused towards achieving a goal for a very long time. We've worked very hard towards it, using everything in our power to get to where we want to be. It worked, and we are almost done.

2 & 3 represent the current - the 'now'. The cards were the Five of Swords and Knight of Pentacles. We are feeling disillusioned and defeated. The victory we achieved feels empty and void of meaning. We are in a bad place financially, with little to no hope on the horizon.

4,5 & 6 represent the next 1-4 weeks in my life. The cards were The Lovers, The Hermit, and Queen of Pentacles. We will only have each other to depend upon, and a choice will have to be made. It will require soul searching and looking within. A woman may show generosity towards us.

7 & 8 represent the following 5-8 weeks (month 2). The cards were The Moon and the Hanged Man. There will be confusion and illusion, as well as self deceit. We will be forced to adapt to changes, readjustment will be in order. We will feel as if we are back in a state of limbo again.

9 represents the following 9-12 weeks (month 3). The card was the Two of Cups. We will be happy. There will be a need for cooperation with others.

5 card daily draw

I knew this was going to be a challenging day and we'd need to be well prepared. We were dealing with the family in dividing up my mother in laws possessions and cleaning out her apartment. I chose to do a 5 card daily draw to get a good synopsis of how the day would go.

I used the Paulina Tarot, by Paulina Cassidy.

The mood of the day was represented by the Five of Wands. Considering the day, I shouldn't have expected anything other than this card. The day was a struggle and battle, filled with greed and insensitivity. Ironically, even the number '5' was representative of the ones who caused the conflict by taking no ones feelings into consideration other than their own.

The person of the day was represented by Temperance. I strongly feel this was Pete. He is the person that is most important to me on this day, He is the person who needs to come through this intact, with a new knowledge of his siblings and how they really are. The day needs to be as peaceful and harmonious as I can possibly make it for him.

The events of the day were represented by the Eight of Cups. Today will be a turning point for us, a time to move forward from here. We will say our final goodbye to Grace and her home and move on. I believe it will somewhat represent a sort of goodbye with the family, too. This is truly the last time I believe we will all come together before Pete and I leave. I don't believe they will make any effort beyond that. When we leave Grace's today, we will be walking away from what kept us here in Canada and walking towards our future. Things will never be the same again.

The Lesson of the Day is represented by the Queen of Pentacles. We will take a lesson in greed and gluttony away from this, but it won't be a surprise. We already know who the 'Queen of Pentacles' is.

The Gift of the day is represented by the Page of Wands. We will have a new perspective by the end of this day. Good news may be a factor in our new outlook.

This reading was dead on. There were no real surprises in the cards. The family behaved just as we expected them to, but Pete managed to walk away unscathed. We will never have to deal with them on this level again.

Today's Daily Draw

This is the Queen of Swords from the Paulina Tarot, by Paulina Cassidy.

I seem to draw alot of swords when reading for myself these days!

The Queen of Swords reminds me to use my intellect and my will wisely...I must listen to my head rather than my heart. She may even represent me, as myself, as I'm very analytical, and very dependent on my insightfulness to get me through the day. She also represents sarcasm and wit - and those who know me well will vouch that I can be quite heavy on both!

This is a card that represents solitary efforts. I have a tendency to want to 'go it alone', but I must be able to realize when this is possible and when it is not. She tells me to make my wants and needs clear - no beating around the bush with this lady.

She also reminds me that while it is sometimes necessary to allow my rational to rule over my emotions, trying to always be rational and logical can suppress my emotional expression too much.

This was a very good card for me today...A bit of a 'wake up' call - one I didn't really realize that I needed!
