I was a "teacher" in an after school program (not really a teacher but watched over the kids...teacher was the title they gave). I have been a cashier and also a receptionist. I've done more babysitting though.

I see what your saying. Thanks for your view on the situation. I'm sure I'll find something in due time. I need to work on purging my negative thoughts.

I did the daily spread a little differently this time in recognition of the new year. Spread: 5 card daily Deck: GT Question: What should I focus on for the coming year relating to work, home, and that which is unexpected? Work: Magician discipline, control, using innate and learned skills Home: 9 Wands tired, defeat, retreat, regrouping to learn from mistakes Unexpected: 7 Wands defense, standing up for what you believe in, making sure those beliefs are sound, facing questions about where you stand Role: 9 Swords alone, wisdom, troubled, working out problems alone but knowing help is near if needed or showing that we are not completely alone and asking for help is ok. Outcome: Temperance balance, harmony, balancing beliefs with actions, sense of blending. Interpretation of all cards: I need to focus of work issues tapping into that which I know and love. I will need to do this alone but should also be aware that help is not far away and should not be afraid to rely on that help if needed. My beliefs and ideas may be questioned by others but that will only lead to me strengthening those beliefs or correcting what is not stable. Home matters will smooth themselves out as everything else becomes balanced and I don't need to focus or worry about that too much. Relating reading to real life: I have a pretty secure home life. What I have been debating internally is what to do about income. I have had many ideas and thoughts and tried a few but they always fell through. I have tried pyrography which I love but I am left with not being able to make this a primary source of income based on the pain it causes my hand, wrist and arm. I have tried web design but quickly learned that this is a cause of headaches. Even though I love making websites I can't do this all the time. The only other thing I have found that I have a true love in is natural healing and metaphysical practices. I do love helping others even though it drains me occasionally. I started all three ideas about the same time and this is the only one that doesn't cause physical pain and I have not slowed down studying the metaphysical one bit. I have slowed down in doing pyrography and web design though. Now the question is how can I "blend" my beliefs with work. I am open to any ideas in regards to this question. Right now I must get views and opinions from all sides so that I can make a sound choice. Maybe this is my true calling but my rational mind wants answers before taking this to the next level.

I'm trying to work with all my cards and use which ever deck "calls" to me at the time I am ready to do a reading. So I may be interchanging decks often based on the "calling" I get. Spread: Daily 5 card Deck: Gilded Tarot 1-Work: King Pentacles Unaware, Relaxed, Carefree, Free of responsiblities 2-Home: King Wands Focused, Contemplative, Entralled, Engrossed in the flame 3-Unexpected: 10 Wands Burdens, Determination, Ending of a cycle (with the rising of the sun) 4-Role: 7 Wands Defense, Seriousnes, Standing up to whatever it is that is about to come, Strong willed, Confident. 5-Outcome: 3 Swords Piercing, Heartbroke, Cloudy, Unclear. I'm not worried about finacial matters at this time. I'm focused on my flame (what keeps me warm and secure). I'm determined to rid myself of the burdens I carry. I'm confident with where I stand right now. I'm not seeing a clear picture which may lead to a broken heart. A lot of this is pretty accurate for today's thoughts and feelings. I see the King of Pentacles as my finacial situation the flame in the King of Wands represents my husband. The 10 wands represents my mental outlook on current situations and 7 wands tells how I go about dealing with issues currently. The 3 of Swords gives me the impression that I'm not seeing something clearly. Maybe I'm setting myself up for a heartbreak?

Awww thanks guys. I agree with both of you. I have felt a lot calmer and more relaxed lately. There have been several situations where I would normally get upset and stressed out over, but I didn't get that way. It's a strange feeling really but I'm not complaining. I'm trying to be more open and accepting now. It seems to be working well for me. You see I have a goal to overcome depression and eventually work myself off the meds. I'm using a combination of meditation exercises and color and aromatherapy to help. I've also been using a few of those guided hypnosis "tapes" that were posted here a while back. I'm a little surprised at how much they've helped.

I did two readings - one with each deck (Sacred Circle and Gilded Tarot).
Spread: One Card Deck: Sacred Circle Q: What should I follow at this time? C: The Sun What I see in this card: Warmth, Energy, Clear sky, Light, Radiance, Illumination, Nurturing life. My Interpretation: Things are about to clear or brighten up and I will be able to see things clearer and in a brighter more positive light.
Spread: One Card Deck: Gilded Tarot Q: What should I follow at this time? C: 3 Wands What I see in this card: Distance, Looking out, Watching, Calm, Pride. My Interpretation: Calmness settles as I watch the "ship" sail by. I feel a bit of serenity and peace with a hint of pride as I stand here watching the calmness of the majestic ship sail past. My Thoughts on Both cards: You know the number 3 has been a mojor theme lately. I dream in 3's, I see things in 3's and 3's just tend to stick out and grab my attention. Aside from that I think these cards go well together. With both of them I was left with a feeling of warmth and inner peace.

Thanks. I guess once you find a deck that speaks to you it's not all that difficult to read them. And having an open mind helps a lot too.

Hehe didn't catch your question before...The spread was the same one I did above this one. And it's just a basic spread. I kept in mind that the purpose of this spread is to guide me through the days course.

I did the reading first and thought it made a lot of sense. During the holidays is always busy for everyone and taking time for yourself is important. I have to be honest that time gave me more energy to do the things I need to do. So today I have been working with finishing tasks I started with a clear head.

Yeah I know what you mean. Here is yesterdays spread I did... Daily Spread Deck: SC 1-Work Related: 4 wands (Development) Bright Sunny Peaceful Stability Creativity Energy 2-Home Related: 8 Cups (Abandonment) Movement Emotions Spirituality Higher sense of being 3-Unexpected: 5 Swords (Defeat) Instability Loss Mentality Limitations 4-My Role: 4 Swords (Rest) Clear skies Stability Peace Solitude 5-Outcome: 6 Swords (Solace) Rebirth Emotions Reflection Solitude I see this reading as developing creative energy and abandoning cloudy emotions or thoughts. Accepting that I may have stepped over my limitations. I need to stop and take a look at what I have set out achieve and prioritize my thoughts in order to get things done. Well yesterday I did just that. Reflection was the theme for yesterday's events. I did a lot of meditation off and on and got to work on the things that more important at this time. I did learn that I get ahead of myself at times. I just want to do so much for other people that I sometimes forget about myself. So yesterday was me time.

Yeah I know what you mean by new decks. I had such a strong feeling from this deck from the moment I saw it. I have been looking online through the cards on Llewellyn's site and studying them from a distance for a while. I got the cards and looked through them here at home and instantly got the notion to try it out. I also have the gilded tarot deck (I got them both at the same time) but I'm not as drawn to that one. I'll have to work more with it and get acquainted with it more. I had a draw to that one as well but not as strong.
As far as how the day went in regards to the reading...I think for the most part it was very close to the reading. I'll have to go back and look at the 3 of swords again. That one is throwing me off for some reason. Of course I always live by expect the unexpected rule.

I did a simple daily reading to see how it pans out during the day... Spread: Daily Deck: SC ----3---- 1---5---2 ----4---- 1. Work - days accomplishments 2. Home - people/activities pertaining to home life 3. Unexpected - Surprises 4. Your Role - your mood/actions/reactions to people/events during the day 5. Outcome - Lesson(s) learned or spritual revelations. My Reading: 1. 9 swords (suffering) Pain, Loss, Transmutation, abandonment 2. A swords (Intellect) Power, Strength, Knowledge, Energy 3. 3 swords (Discord) Rock bottom, End of the storm 4. 2 wands (Courage) Risks, Willpower, Dedication, Hardwork 5. Q Discs (Expression) Confidence, Assertiveness, Independance I'm not quite sure about this reading yet. Of course the day isn't completely over yet. However I did work alone today and got quite a bit done. When my husband got home from work I felt exhausted though. He normally gives me strength and energy but I was working so hard before he got back that my body needed a rest. After I rested for a bit (watching t.v with him) I felt better though and picked up where I left off. Rock bottom as an unexpected is a little off though. But like I said the day isn't over yet. However so far I am feeling confident and a little independant.

Spread: One card draw Deck: Sacred Circle Question: What should I know at this time? Card: The Star hope, faith, protection, light This card literally jumped out so I took it as the card to use. This card looks promising, like the other cards it seems to be telling me that there is light within the darkness. I just have have to be patient and have hope and faith in it.

Spread: Dark Moon - Hidden Karma Deck: The Fairy Ring The spread looks like: --------4--------- (only drawn if card 3 is not a positive outcome) --------3--------- --------2--------- --------1--------- Meaning behind card positions: 1. Major issues from past life that remains unresolved in present life. 2. Hidden karma in present life. 3. Outcome of hidden karmic issue if no changes are made to alter this course. 4. (Only drawn if card 3 isn't a positive outcome) How to overcome the karmic debt. I did this reading to further my last reading. I wanted to know more about the karmice debt that is being resolved. My cards: Card 1 Summer 8 (Tam Lin) reversed Tam LinRestriction, banishment, guilt, fear, bad health Card 2 Spring Queen (Sea Mither) mothering nurturing, fertility, graceful Card 3 Spring 7 (Asrai) reversed Asraimaterial greed, selfishness, restriction Card 4 Summer 5 (Cro Sith) nurturing, support, comfort, unselfish love, emotional nourishment, motherhood. With all this and my last reading I get the feeling that my karmic debt is about selfishness and greed. And to overcome this debt I need to practice unselfish love. It's telling me that children can help resolve this debt. As it is now, my brother's children are a huge part of my life. I almost feel like a mother to them when I watch them. Every time I leave or am not with them I miss them and feel empty inside. I think this is definately telling me something along with the cards. My dreams even coincide with all this. I have noticed a major change in the way I am with children over the past few months. I have always loved and adored children but I never wanted my own. But now I all that is changing my whole attitude is changing. So I did another reading to see if I can find out more on this... Spread: One card draw Deck: The Fairy Ring Question: When should I begin to resolve this karmic debt? Card: Samhain Change, completion of a cycle, family ties, clairvoyance, mediumship.

Thanks Andin. The reading isn't that hard to do. I just kept an open mind about it. It does seem that everything is working out well though. I was quite pleased with that reading.

This next reading I did to help me get a better understanding of myself in general and my karmic lessons. Spread: Irish Cross - Karmic Lessons Deck: The Fairy Ring The spread looks like: --------10 -----------------9 ----------5 ---6 ---1 --------------------2 ---7 ---8 ----------3 ------------------4 --------Every card except the first one is read right side up. The first card is read however is lays. Card 2 is the cross card and is laid sideways, crossing card one. Cards 5, 6, 7, and 8 are all sideways too but are all read as if in the upright position. Cards 10, 9, 3, and 4 are all laid upright. The arms to this cross are not equal as you can see. Meaning for each card: 1-Major past life karma that affecting the present life. 2-Energy, issue, or person that corresponds to card 1. Past life arm 3-Past karma that needs attention 4-Past life actions/inactions that dealt with this karma Past Current Life arm 5-Issue (in current life) that began karmic reprocussions 6-Issue or event that is passing in card 5 Future Current Life arm 7-Near future 8-How card 7 is responded to...actions taken. Future Life arm 9-Early years of a future life 10-Later years of a future life Now my cards.... 1 - Winter Lady (The Blue Hag) reversed 2 - Autumn 7 (Lake Maiden)3 - Spring Knave (Tiddy Mun)4 - Spring Lady (The Green Lady)5 - Autumn Ace (Mermaid)6 - Winter 8 (Bogeyman)7 - Herfest (Herfest)8 - Winter 7 (Fachan)9 - Spring 4 (Befind)10 - Autumn Knave (Phooka)And their meaning. The numbers correspond to the card number. I summarized the meaning based off of what I got from each card. 1 The past still hurts and must be resolved. 2 There is a hidden power at work protecting and guiding me with tools for success. 3 Inmaterial success and a job well done. 4 Insignificant changes from a special place or event lead to a greater outcome. 5 Emotional fulfillment and joy from creative inspiration and love. 6 Fears and anxiety aren't worth worrying over. 7 Completion, recognition and success are all results of hard work. 8 Time to step back and meditate to help see things clearly. 9 Life changing right of passage (birth,marriage,death). 10 Trustworthy, hardworking, methodical, patient young man who is slow to anger. An even more revised version that tells the story.... Presently: There is a hidden power helping me to resolve old karma from the past. Past Life: I've made some change for the good that has had a major effect Current Life Past : Fear and anxiety are replaced with emotional fulfillment of love and spiritual inspiration. Current Life Future: I will have a time to step back and meditate on the events that have passed and what I have learned so that I may understand completely. Future Life: I become a male who is hardworking, patient, methodical and slow to anger.
