The 5 of Wands and the Balancing Card - the 8 of Cups

Saturday, August 30, 2014.  One of my favourite days.  My favourite days of the week are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  However, this is only because I have a job and work for someone else.  I’d likely feel different and did feel different when I was more or less only working for myself than anybody else.  For a short time, I was an independent contractor servicing prepaid phone card vending machines.  The money was not great but I sure felt good about being my own boss.  And today, I’m rediscovering the way I felt back then, recapturing the feelings and energy of being financially responsible for myself as well as being my own boss.

Thank You Spirit.

Today’s visiting Tarot Cards comes to us from my “Whimsical” deck and is the “5 of Wands: People around you are cranky; morale is low.  Stay calm through the chaos and remember who you are.  Read all of the fine print—legal troubles are possible now.  When reversed: You don’t always have to come up out on top.  Accept compromises and apologies.  Reprioritize.”

And the “balancing card of the day”, the card on the bottom of the deck is the “8 of Cups: Self-sacrifice is likely to be asked of you.  Beware of quarrels; use caution in negotiating affairs of the heart.  Attention spans are short, so don’t take anything too personally.  Count your blessings and try to be content with what you have.  When reversed: Emotions run high.  Let go of situations that no longer concern you.  Spend some time and money on the things that make you feel good.”

This morning I awoke knowing exactly who I am as I fell asleep after a slight spell of being unable to sleep with the knowledge of who I want to be that became knowing who I am.  Everything is coming together and today I keep an open and compromising mind.

I briefly looked at an email this morning that made me realize that my desire to be out on the open road and working for myself is a balancing act for me.  I work and the type of work I’m setting out to do requires a high degree of energy that will drain me and being on the road is like my retreat where the energy I expend comes back to me by the mere fact I’m out on the road enjoying life the way I know I must do.  Driving down the highways and backroads of this land is like my serene oasis, my retreat where I get away from it all so I continue to have balance, harmony, and love in my life.  While at the same time it allows me to self-employed.

So today let’s all do our best to keep open and compromising minds so we keep the day balanced and harmonized.  Let’s do our part to keep the energy of this day positive and full of love.  Let’s be thankful for the blessings we have as small as they may be for some of us.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
