Daily Reflections

I decided to start posting some of my daily reflections using a slightly different spread than I normally use. This spread is also a combination of Tarot and Lenormand but instead of three plus three cards I use four pairs of cards (four cards from each deck) and I also divide the spread into four sections: top Tarot pair, top Lenormand pair, bottom Tarot pair, bottom Lenormand pair. The top row is the conscious or what is obvious (what is on my mind) while the bottom row is the unconscious or subconscious or what I do not see clearly (things that bubble up from my psyche but may be repressed after all). Each top and bottom pair can also be read as a combination.


I am not sure if I am going to use the same two decks for all my Daily Reflections posts (probably not) but I started with the Tarot of Reflections which is one of my favourite decks (the deck you see on the picture is a trimmed version). I really love each card because they just simply speak volumes. This deck for me just feels so 'organic'; in a sense that just by looking at the cards they start 'talking' to me in a way that few other decks do. For the Lenormand deck I will use the beautiful Melissa Lenormand (second ed.); since I received it a few days ago I can not put it down.

Top Row:


I feel like today I am very much in a thinking state instead of a doing state (Knight of Swords on the left, Queen of Swords on the right). So I am a bit overwhelmed with thoughts almost to the point of being worried. I also feel like I do not really want to do anything serious (Child) maybe just relaxing and enjoying the day (Bouquet). [Well I was off from work today and I was not doing anything serious all day although I was doing a lot of thinking.]


Bottom Row:


Decisions need to be made about certain things (Three of Wands) and I am a bit worried about finances as well because I have already spent more money this year than I should have (Ace of Coins reversed). I am just hoping that Luck will find its way to me (Clover) although I may be relying too much on Luck at the moment. I am just thinking that things will always work out by themselves (Path). In other words, I believe that I will always find the right path. So far I have not had major setbacks in life but I have not moved forward much either which is something I want to change this year.


Summary


Top Row:


Knight of Swords + Queen of Swords = Passive thinking or too much thinking without acting on my thoughts.


Child + Bouquet = Not feeling serious, play-time, (or waste of time).


Bottom Row


Three of Wands + Ace of Coins (reversed) = Waiting on things to happen or reflecting on things that have already happened especially financial matters.


Clover + Path = Hoping for the best, relying too much on destiny or fate, going with the flow instead of actively changing course. These meanings are in terms of daily reflections. If these two cards came up in a spread for a specific question that is more goal oriented I would say that the person will make the right choice regarding the issue and things will work out fine. However, with negative cards nearby I would say that he or she may make some risky decisions.
