to clarify

the second spread: 7 of cups, (r) 7 of swords, (r) queen of cups

1) Now is a time for me to dream, to figure out what I actually want to do [with my life and shit].

2) ...and to break out of old routines, to try something new. do something new and not my "usual."

3) and i should probably stop being so emo.


now, you may be wondering, though you probably aren't, "hey, you used to explain the cards! what happened!?"

answer: i got lazier. simple as that.

but now i feel guilty, so...

7 of cups is a card of dreaming. it's the "head in the clouds" card. not necessarily a bad thing, depending on circumstances. sometimes we need to dream up things to decide a path for ourselves. yup yup.

(r) 7 of swords is, when upright, a card about rites of passage almost: something that sucks, but you kind of just have to do it. like your first car being not much more than a questionably-shitty lawn mower. or how your girlfriend drives more aggressively (...and better...) than you. reverse it, and you don't have to do anything. reversed, and the so-called "tradition" of the thing you're going through, the sense of obligation or duty you may feel towards it, is all in your head. here you have the freedom to create your own rite of passage (like those people who get tattoos after they've beat cancer once or twice to commemorate), your own path. there's no prescribed way with this one.

(r) queen of cups is basically the opposite of the emotionally-caring, sympathetic/empathetic person. there's some apathy going on here, some selfishness, etc.

so i should probably just buck the fuck up.

not helped by doing a tarot blog on basically my own whingey psyche, but dumber plans have been followed. right? :o
