Patience

Years ago my Mother, at my request, gave me a set of Tarot cards for Christmas. Sometimes I go months and years without using them, and other times I read them regularly--for guidance, for practice, for fun.
.
These days I've been turning one card over before I start my day and using it as a kind of meditation. I'm often happy to consider things I don't understand, and my experience with the Tarot has been pretty remarkable. Even when I read for people I don't know, there seems to be information and advice that is often accurate and clearly helpful to them.
.
So, with this in mind, yesterday I used an internet site to turn over my one card and this is what it said:
.
Be patient. Confusion and disappointment are exaggerated.

.

Well! Good advice if you ask me. So good that I'm passing it on......

  10. "The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. Queen of Coins: The essence of earth behaving as water, such as a hot spring: A warm and generous host, providing shelter and comfort for all who would seek it. A person steadfast, practical, and domestic, able to create opulence and stability in any setting. The qualities of maturity and sensibility, coupled with an innate appreciation for nature and the material world."

    Is this good or bad?

  16. Knight of Wands: The essence of fire, such a great conflagration. One filled with vitality and passion for life. A sexy and exciting person, daring in their actions, cocky in their attitude, and utterly without fear. Absolute sincerity, coupled with violent emotions that swing wildly from one extreme to another. Boundless creativity and lust for a change of both pace and place. The rapid approach, or more likely departure, of something that sets your world ablaze. Often suggests travel or escape.

    A bunch of so-so...

  17. If KJ reads Tarot in the Philippines she will be popular. For one thing everyone wants to talk to her to hear her accent.

  18. Cool statement :-) I got dolphin cards for my birthday, but I don't think I understand how they work. Let me explain : one day I pull a card (guideline for the day) that says : to float. Later that day the cap of my lense falls in the water (I am standing on a little bridge) and it floats away.
