Wisdom of Avalon: 11 Hawk

Omens – Messages

It might benefit me today to pay special attention to my intuition and what others are trying to get through to me. Communication and conversations might have a bit more importance and meaning than I give them credit initially. There may be more being ‘said’ in what’s left unsaid, so I should listen carefully.

ð Not sure. Had some conversations with hubby about several things, than online a few brief chit-chats, but nothing major – or something that I’d call that important.

Tarot: 6 of Knives* (6 of Swords)

I might be confused about something, or feel that I’m having problems getting to the bottom of something. I might refuse to see the truth of a matter, or make the changes that I know I should be making. On the flip side, I might suffer from lack of confidence in myself about being able to handle something or not trust my own reasoning powers/judgment.

ð I still feel that even after all the time I’ve been studying this stupid driver’s exam manual, I don’t know enough in terms of feeling prepared. My mind just doesn’t seem to retain the information as well as I’d like it to. And I’m worried I’m going to fail. We keep postponing going to the DMV for various reasons, but I do need to go there very soon one way or another. Otherwise, not sure. Felt upset and rather unfocused most of the day after our cats destroyed one of my Great Lenormand decks in the morning.

ð Hubby’s excited about some things he’s been coming across on YouTube. He’s trying to soak up the information … and while I’m glad he’s feeling that some things are making a bit more sense, some of the things I’m a bit worried about he might get a tad carried away by it.

New insights or taking a fresh view on something brings not only clarity but a solution/resolution. Withdrawal in order to gain valuable/needed insight and clarity in a matter.

ð Been struggling with a decision whether to get something or not. Been trying to be careful with our bandwidth. I know we have more now, but still, trying to play it smart. Neither of us felt like going anywhere today so we decided to stay home and have a nice evening just with the two of us.

Great Lenormand: 9 of Spades & 10 of Diamonds & 3 of Clubs

A message or piece of information leads to planning an event that I’m not yet sure how it’ll turn out. Talks regarding a plan or upcoming project/event. More careful planning might be required for it to turn out well.

ð We do want to go to a casino soon, though, as well as the beach. Hubby and I agreed, if nothing comes up, we likely will go the next off-days he has after finishing his night shift and the extra days he’s got coming up after that.

Skat: Ace of Diamonds & 7 of Clubs * & 9 of Clubs *

News, a piece of information or document creating friction and irritation as it heralds delays and obstacles that need to be overcome. Feeling blocked and limited in what I can accomplish in a given matter no matter how hard I try to figure out a way to get it done/make it happen.

ð We decided to delay our visit to the beach or casino once more. With him being on night shift, he just either wakes up too late and most things would be closed by the time he would’ve gotten up and ready, or he’d have to suffer staying up at hours he’s not used to, messing up his sleep schedule … and I know how that feels. So we figured, patience might be a good idea.

Tarot: 6 of Knives (6 of Swords)

Focus, concentration, analysis, discovery, moving forward, communication. It might be a good idea today to focus on something, make sure I’m looking at every angle before I proceed or go for it.

ð Overall, just talked about future plans such as going to the casino (never been) and going to the beach (never been before either), and making a couple more investments. Other than that, just chilled at the house.

Daily Draw 10-02-2014

Lenormand: 12 Birds & 32 Moon & 8 Coffin

Stress that leaves towards the evening. Emotional distress that slowly goes away … or a deepening of emotional unrest and depressive mood. Feeling burdened and powerless.

ð Not sure what happened, but when I first woke up I felt ok, wanted to just relax for a few more minutes, fell asleep again just to wake up during a bad dream and felt horrible for the rest of the day until I took a nap in the evening after hubby left for work. Felt better, but then, when I tried laying down again, I couldn’t find no rest, kept waking up and the storms coming through didn’t help. Certainly one bad day followed by a bad night.

Great Lenormand: 6 of Clubs & King of Clubs & 7 of Spades

Seeking assistance in a matter. Having problems figuring out something despite help from others (or maybe that’s the problem, I’m trying to resolve something myself rather than ask for help).

ð Not sure, I just really thought I would feel better as I seriously need to get back into doing some stuff … but feeling like an utter zombie unable to focus, that’s not going to happen. Just don’t understand what caused this odd sleep issue during night time. Hubby proposed to go out tomorrow and left it up to me where we’ll go. Not sure yet.

Skat: Ace of Diamonds & Ace of Spades * & 9 of Clubs

Bad news causing me to worry and stress out; though the worries are unfounded. News that initially upset but then after a moments thought and consideration are put into perspective.

ð No news as far as I recall. Just one weird, wacky day followed by an even worse night and not sure what the heck caused it.

Tarot: Judgment *

Feeling stuck, powerless, uninspired, desolate. I might feel somewhat desolate and depressed today, not knowing for sure what to do in a certain matter or as if I don’t have much choice in a matter and it’s pretty much being taken out of my hands. Something that might make me feel isolated and lonely.

ð Probably me waking up feeling seriously badly in the morning after I done fell asleep one more time, waking up with a start when I had a bad dream. Dragged myself through the day, took a nap which helped for a bit. Then, again, when laying down I couldn’t fall asleep, I kept waking up, not just due to the storms that kept coming through all night, but overall extremely restless. And no clue what brought it on. I just hope today will be better. If only I could figure out what’s upsetting me subconsciously so badly.

Daily Draw 08-11-2014

Lenormand: 32 Moon & 3 Ship

Emotions, intuition, honor, acknowledgment, moodiness. Journey, trip, motion, movement, longing, desire, abroad, trade. A mood to make a move in some matter. Going to do something on a whim. Feeling like something needs to change. Settings things into motion that I haven’t always thought through all the way.

Great Lenormand: King of Hearts & Queen of Diamonds

Patience, meditation, introspection, reflection, waiting, time-out. Discord, disharmony, conflict, doubt, friction, deceit. Inner turmoil and conflict might cause me to take a time-out. Or, well, it is probably advisable to take one if I feel torn and/or in doubt about something. Not acting out of spite and/or jealousy.

Skat: 10 of Spades & 7 of Hearts

Journey, trip, distance, trade. Joy, happiness, flirt, content. A trip might be a good idea. Even if not far or expensive, just a nice little get-out-of-the-house. Hadn’t planned on that today. Actually, we plan on staying home and do some things around the house.

Tarot: 4 of Grails * (4 of Cups)

The card being reversed, might be a call to stop being or acting hesitant and withdrawn in a way. Might be a matter where I feel ambivalent and reluctant to get involved in/with. Questioning that attitude, and see why I really don’t want to get into it might be a good idea. Pouting or sulking might be the wrong attitude to have – not getting so easily ‘hurt’, or taking offense too easily.

======================

Daily Draw 08-10-2014

Lenormand: 6 Clouds & 4 House

Confusion, uncertainty, doubt, trouble, discord. Home, house, neighborhood, immediate environment, stability, groundedness, security. Trouble in/around/with the house or within the domestic environment. Things might not go well, there may be delays or worries regarding domestic matters. I know hubby wants to do some home improvement today, or, at least so he said yesterday – paint a couple of rooms, put down some flooring in the middle room. Hope that won’t go bad/wrong somehow. Also, being shook up by something, feeling insecure and unstable, like someone pulled the rug out from under me in a particular matter.

ð Well, we hung up new curtains in the bedroom. First one went OK. Second one gave us a bit of a problem, and hubby started having a temper flare-up again. We also had initial trouble finding some of the tools we need. We really need to get him some better organizer stuff for his tools. Then we went back to town as the new curtains made the last one look bad … and they got me on that one. The picture on the box looked like it was pretty dark and thick. We hung it up, and it turned out to be pretty flimsy and not much more than sheer. Great … now we got to go and get another one, like them black-out curtains, to put with it. It’s pretty, alright, but we need something thicker than that.

Great Lenormand: 9 of Hearts & 10 of Clubs

Victory, success, acknowledgment, recognition, friendship. Danger, caution, being on the look-out, paying attention. Things might not be what they seem to be – an initial ‘success’ or accomplishment in a matter might turn sour and/or questionable soon thereafter. Temporary success/progress – be careful, not getting cocky and/or reckless after something went right, there’s more headed my way. Being careful with someone who’s giving me praise or making out like they’re truly my ‘best buddy’ – they may have a hidden agenda and/or not quite so honorable intentions I’m not aware of.

ð Wondering about that. Well, actually, I’m feeling a bit bad about not having logged in to one of my games in … almost a week? I’ve met someone I’ve come to talk to who’s nice, and it’s been fun. But it reminds me of my other buddy, and that I hadn’t talked to him in a while. While I’m happy I found a nice new buddy from the looks of it, I feel like I’ve been neglecting my other, older, buddy.

Skat: 8 of Spades& 7 of Clubs

Jealousy, greed, aggravation, meddling. Sorrow, sadness, tears. Jealousy might cause grief and sadness. Someone harboring ill will or resentment towards me might create a rather unpleasant and hurtful atmosphere. Or am I the one acting jealous, being mean to someone else?

ð No jealousy I can think of. Felt somewhat aggravated with the lag and some of the crashes. They were irritating, but, I somewhat expect those. Think, part of this is me starting to feeling seriously guilty of not having logged into my other game for a while now.

Tarot: 6 of Knives * (6 of Swords)

Being reversed, potentially confused, harboring doubts, not being able (or willing) to move forward and/or letting go of something (mentally), re-thinking or overanalyzing a situation/person, mulling it over in my head without solution/resolution. Might have to be careful today – something/someone might stump me, or confuse me. Might not be able (or willing) to let go of something, going over it in my head, over and over and over. So, today might be a good day not to over-analyze something, not to waste energy and resources on fruitless endeavors and/or situations that just drain me and frustrate me. Sometimes, it’s better to leave a matter alone, or wait a bit, before trying to solve it … or even understand it. Plus, if it’s a person, the answer might elude me forever. Especially if that person does not explain themselves. No use in trying to find an answer there, just, accept it for what it is, let go, walk away.

ð Still fighting the question whether to stop playing one of my online games, and come back to it at a later date, or keep it. I know sometimes I get into one game, then after a while, I get either frustrated or bored with it, and it is nice to have something else to switch to. Other than reading, I mean. In regards to playing games, though, I have found it somewhat nice to have at least two options. One reason I’ve so long kept it. But, for about a week, I have not felt like logging into one of them. Just can’t get into the mood nor feel a desire to play it. Starting to worry me … if I’m just hanging on to it because of “I might like to play it again one day”, and/or a sense of obligation to the few friends I made there and go back to it soon. I don’t know. It’s becoming a bit of a headache.

Daily Draw 08-09-2014

Lenormand: 11 Rods & 21 Mountain

Conversations, harsh, conflict, trouble, cleaning, dancing, punishment, discipline. Enemy, burden, obstacle, delay, stand still, pause, challenge. Conversations/talks might feel rather cumbersome and challenging today. Challenging the status quo. Something or someone being demanding and pushy. Need to persevere and be very disciplined. Unexpected delays causing trouble or frustration.

ð Hubby and I had a couple of more serious conversations. One of them depressing me some. I know he doesn’t mean to, but sometimes, conversations get a bit ‘heavy’ in topic. Also, had a conversation with someone I befriended online in one of my games. He was not feeling welcomed in a guild, and was expressing his frustrations to me. Tried to help it best I could.

Great Lenormand: King of Hearts & Ace of Hearts

Patience, contemplation, pause, reflection, meditation, time-out. Family, gathering, group of (like-minded people), leader, leadership, being in charge of something/someone. It might be a good time to take a step back, and consider my position/attitude towards other people I care about. Taking time for the ones I care about. Time to spend some time with them. There might be a bit of a confusion going on in communication. Faith/believes being in question/questioned.

ð Might have been the situation with my online buddy who was not very happy about how he was treated in that one guild. Had a little conversation about it, and, I don’t want to go as far as to say I helped him gain clarity in the matter, but I think at least venting some of his frustrations helped.

Skat: Queen of Hearts & Ace of Diamonds

Female querent, sweetheart, wife, woman, mother, aunt, sister. News, message, document, inspiration, idea. I might have a sudden idea or flash of inspiration. Some document or piece of news that is important to me on a personal level. An emotional message. An intuitive insight; intuitively understanding something/someone.

ð Been bouncing around some ideas for our home – interior and exterior. Hubby’s been running some ideas past me regarding the floors but also the walls, inside and outside, and what colors to pick for which room.

Tarot: 9 of Scepters (9 of Wands)

Persistence, preservation, test of will/determination, standing one’s ground, not giving up. Today, I may have to stand my ground in some way, or see how bad do I want something? Needing to dig deep to make something come about – or need to use my energy reserves wisely, not over-extend myself but not let myself go either, or give up.

ð Well, given the nature of some conversations I had today – with my hubby as well as my online buddy – I felt like I had to go and dig down for some energy to deal with it. Hubby having some rather heavy topic to talk about that somewhat depressed me, and made me feel slightly drained and powerless as the subjects are, well, somewhat out of my hands to really be able to do much about. I don’t like those kind of conversations as they just remind me of how fragile life is, and how many things are simply out of our immediate realm and power to control and/or influence. Humbling isn’t quite the word I’d use, feeling disempowered and frustrated would be more accurate. The other conversation was about the buddy feeling somewhat alienated and unwelcome in a guild me and him were in. He wind up leaving, as he just didn’t feel like he was being treated fairly by the guild master. I don’t deal well with conflict, so, conversations along those lines make me feel weary and usually lead me to put my guard up at least to some degree to cope with it.
