7 of Pentacles

Introduction

This card is for Saturday, March 27, 2010. Still catching up... 


My Intuitive Interpretation

The 7 of Pentacles, for me, has always been one of longing.  It's about working very hard at something, but coming up short.  Of continually trying to get what you want, but never feeling you're getting it.


What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case:  Success unfulfilled, delay but with growth
• Golden Dawn:  Honorary work undertaken for the love of it and without hope of rewarded
• Waite:  Business, money, barter, altercation

Psychic Revelation
7 of Pentacles


My Interpretation for Today

Things seemed to have gotten better on this day, but I was still feeling the effects of the previous few days. This was the end of a very long and difficult week. I did feel as if things were moving slowly and that I would never catch up, particularly financially, but in other ways as well.  

7 of Swords

My Intuitive Interpretation

The 7 of Swords, for me, has always been about trying to get away with something...of being sneaky about it and being good at being sneaky about it. At its core, it's about manipulation of some sort. I know exactly what this is about today, as my mind has been on one topic and one topic alone. Yes, I am trying to be sneaky and to do a bit of manipulation. Yes, I know it's not going to work, but nonetheless, it's been on my mind all day.

What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case: Unstable effort, uncertainty, partial success
• Douglas: Powerful opposition. Courage, perseverance, prudence and possibly cunning are required.
• Gray: Foolish attempt at some kind of theft, arguments, spying, incomplete success.
• Kaplan: New schemes, desires on the verge of fulfillment, attempts or endeavors.
• Mathers: Hope, confidence, desire, attempt, wish.
• Waite: Design, attempt, wish, hope, confidence, a plan that may fail, annoyance.
• Suggested:  Perfect wisdom, maturity, control of power, control of emotions, control of intuition and control of intelligence summarized.

My Interpretation for Today

The advice of this card is obviously for me to stop trying to manipulate the situation and this is going to be difficult for me because I like to get what I want. Since everything points to actually NOT getting my way, perhaps I simply need to just let things ride out as they will and see what happens. Let's hope I can do that.

The Chariot

My Intuitive Interpretation

The Chariot, for me, implies "full steam ahead". Things are in balance. You know where you're going. You know how to get there. The victory and your acknowledgement of it is fully at hand.

What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Christian: The domination of spirit over nature, the priesthood and the empire, the submission of the elements and forces of nature to intelligence and the labours of Man. Go towards the future with courage reinforced by the knowledge of doing right.
• Crowley: Triumph, victory, hope, memory
• Kahn: A card of balance and imbalance, accomplishment and failure, stamina and weakness.
• Waite: Triumph in the mind, triumph over nature

Psychic Revelation
The Chariot

My Interpretation for Today

The Chariot shows up to remind me that I can triumph over my adversities. This has been particularly hard for me lately. I do have the skills and the knowledge and all I really need is the right conquest for the victory to be assured. Sometimes I do forget these things. Because this is a major card, I need to pay particular attention to it. I need to have the confidence that I can.

7 of Cups

My Intuitive Interpretation

The 7 of Cups, to me, reveals many different offerings to choose from on an emotional level. Knowing which one or ones to choose is not always easy, but all of them should be considered before making any kind of decisions. Some of the offerings may seem scary and be rejected because of this, but life is about taking risks and sometimes the things that seem most scary to us are the ones that we should choose.

What Dictionary of Tarot Says

• Case: Illustionary success, ideas, designs, resolutions
• Douglas: Exceptional promise or mystical experience, self delusion
• Golden Dawn: Lying, deceit, promises unfulfilled
• Thierens: Imagination, fantasy, reflections
• Waite: Vision, some attainment but nothing permanent, desire, will, determination
• Suggested: Intuition at its most developed level. Possible enlightenment. A very good, if solemn, card.

  

Psychic Revelation

7 of Cups

My Interpretation for Today

I have a lot going on in my life and I probably need to focus on one thing at a time (difficult for me) and get things done. Deciding what is important now is also hard for me. There are some things that I put off because they are difficult and some things I focus on because they are desires. This card tells me to look at all my options, evaluate all my choices and look for what is best for me today.
