What do you need to calculate your own tarot day card?
If you want to calculate your tarot day chart based on numerology, apart from the month and year, (apart from this blog) you don't need anything at all to make use of this.
If you prefer to draw your own day card from a tarot deck, I recommend purchasing a tarot deck based on the symbolism of the Rider Waite Tarot. Some examples are:
- Rider Waite Tarot
- Universal Tarot
- Radiant Waite Tarot
- Robin Wood tarot
- Pictorial Key Tarot
- Connolli Tarot
- Hanson Roberts Tarot
- Morgan Greer Tarot
So you can get your personal day ticket in two ways.
- Through numerological calculation.
- By drawing a tarot card from the tarot deck yourself.
The numerological calculation goes as follows.
Take today's date. For example: 01-02-2012
From this, add up all the numbers separately.
0 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 8
The tarot of the day is 8. The Force.
In some cases, the tarot of the day consists of two numbers.
For example, 22-05-2012.
2 + 2 + 0 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 14
The tarot of the day is 14. The Moderation.
Since this tarot card consists of two numbers, you can also add them back together (reduce them until one number remains).
1 + 4 = 5. The High Priest.
The tarot of the day in this case is 14. The Moderation.
With underlying card (additional advice) 5. the High Priest
How to manually draw a tarot card yourself
If you want to draw your own tarot card for the day from the deck, proceed as follows:
- Sit with your cards in a place where the atmosphere is good, light a candle and/or incense if you feel comfortable doing so.
- With eyes closed, shuffle the cards as you ask your question.
- Spread the cards (blind) on the table.
- Open your eyes and choose the card that 'jumps out' for you.
- Grab this card and look up its meaning in the chart below.
For both methods, you only need the Major Arcana; that is, the 22 key cards 0 to 21. Key card 0 (the Fool) counts as card 22 here.
The tarot day cards
Tarot day card 1. The day of the Magician
Symbolism:
The Magician stands behind his table depicting the four elements: a staff (fire), a pentacle (earth), a goblet (water) and a sword (air). These represent intuition, creativity, emotions and practical thinking. The Magician is able to use all these elements in the right way so that he can fulfil his own desires. Above his head floats the lemniscate: the symbol of infinity. The infinite link between our world and the universe. He derives his power from the cosmos to get what he desires done here on earth.
Keywords:
Energetic, creative, strong-willed, decisive, intellectual, enterprising, communicative, independent, thoughtful, flexible.
Possible events today:
This is a good day to pursue your goal. A new beginning. But by your own efforts! On a Magician day, you can count on a pleasant (unexpected) event, positive change and luck in love. Flexibility, creativity and hard work will certainly be rewarded.
You:
On a personal level, today you need to take on more qualities of the Magician, act more like the Magician and do as he does. Today, try to see how strong your inner strength actually is! When you get to the point where you can combine your physical and mental powers, you can achieve practically anything you want! Don't ask others how they would tackle or solve something, but go by your own feelings. When you want something badly, have a certain goal in mind, you don't need anyone but yourself to achieve your goal. You are generally in good spirits today, allowing you to make the best use of your intellect and intelligence and creativity. Today you may come up with new, good ideas or be able to develop them. You know how to manipulate certain people a little bit to say and do the right things, to achieve your goal. You are so tremendously in your power today that nine times out of 10 you manage to get others to do things you would like them to do.
Stumbling blocks:
Despite the fact that you may be reluctant to ask for help, you cannot do without the support or good advice of others completely today. Try to recognise that however strong you are mentally, it is still not possible to realise all your plans on your own. After all, sometimes you do need a little help or support from others. Magician or not: alone is just alone...
Welfare:
You may feel a little nervous or indecisive or both. Don't confuse yourself, which can sometimes lead to nervousness, uncertainty or physical discomfort.
Career:
The Magician is highly intelligent as well as creative, and when you combine these two talents, you stand head and shoulders above the rest. The Magician has that little bit extra that makes success inevitable. What is needed, however, is that he also makes himself known as creative and clever. So dare to promote yourself today. Dare to show what you can do. With the Magician there is rarely an either/or situation, usually it is and/and, precisely because the Magician is capable of getting everything he wants done. In the beginning, choices will have to be made, but it will soon become clear that you are capable of doing several things at once, because you will learn to combine your talents in the right way. Take earth and water, for example. They are two totally different elements, but if you use them together in the right way, you will be able to grow something completely new! Above all, keep believing in yourself, because although the Magician is capable of a lot, he unfortunately sometimes has some doubts about his own abilities. It would be a shame if you missed out on a great opportunity because you had doubts about your own abilities at that very moment. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and in your dealings with others.
Finance:
Possibly this is a difficult day for you financially. Nevertheless, today is a very convenient day to apply for a deferral of payment or make a payment arrangement. Should you sign a contract or enter into any other type of agreement today, it could work out well for you and have a favourable impact on your financial situation.
Friendships/love:
Today, pay attention to the fact that, above all, you dare to remain yourself in the company of others or within your relationship. There is absolutely no need to talk another person down or to constantly adapt yourself to others. The Magician is a strong personality, so... dare to show this too. Someone who has their own opinion and dares to express it is usually appreciated more than someone who blows in all directions. Stay yourself, but make sure not to be too emphatic in the company of others, as this might just backfire and reduce your popularity.
Eye-opener of the day: Showing initiative yourself and showing what you can do is different from overestimating yourself and patting yourself on the back.
Spell of the day: Does your behaviour determine the situation or does the situation determine your behaviour?
Remember:
- Stay attentive to the things and people around you and respond to them skillfully.
- Use the knowledge you have gained to influence others (positively!).
- Improve communication between yourself and others, or, if you already do, keep communicating properly instead of provoking discussions.
- Trust yourself, you can basically achieve anything you want just by your own creativity and willpower!
Do:
- Do what needs to be done
- Work out your plans
- Dare to promote yourself in all fields, show who you are/what you can do!
- Don't be afraid to be in the spotlight but don't over-shout yourself
- Make use of your talents and skills
- Dare to be creative
- Dare to make decisions
- Use your willpower
Tarot day card 2. Day of the High Priestess
Symbolism:
The High Priestess keeps the Torah scroll half-hidden under her cape, indicating that she possesses hidden powers. She has read the scroll completely, so she also possesses a lot of knowledge. The moon refers to her highly developed intuition. She is dressed in blue, giving her a calm appearance. She is patient, understanding, wise and intuitive. The High Priestess tells us to learn even better and dare to listen to what our intuition wants to tell us and to approach things with patience and understanding.
Keywords:
Intuitive, spiritual, calm, patient, passive, hidden talents, wise, wise, helpful and understanding.
Possible events today:
You can start to gain more insight into spirituality and your inner self through a particular event or something you see or read. When you learn how to make yourself happy, you can make others happy too. Get to know yourself, but also love yourself. With patience and an understanding attitude, you will be able to go far today. Be open to others when people ask you for advice. Your intuition will grow some more today and you will radiate more peace. Do dare to trust your inner voice, your own intuition. Even when you suddenly 'hear' something in your mind that you may not be happy with: you do not get this message for nothing!
You:
On a personal level, today you should adopt more of the High Priestess' qualities, behave more like the High Priestess and do as she does. In any case, but especially today, do not concern yourself with what others think of you or say about you, but in turn, try not to be too quick to judge others. Focus mainly on yourself today. Make your own plan and quietly go your own way. Take your time and learn to be patient. Good ideas need time to grow and mature, and nothing is more unfortunate than trying to implement a good idea too soon, causing it to fail because it was not yet the right time for it. Be patient, wait, think calmly and dare to listen to your own Higher Self; the little voice inside you that so often whispers things to you, but that you sometimes ignore because you don't quite dare to trust it yet.
Stumbling blocks:
Dreaming is allowed, but be careful not to lose yourself in a dream world. Keep both feet on the ground, otherwise you risk 'floating'. Being patient is good, but try to be careful not to be so patient that nothing comes of your plans because you are forever waiting for the right moment to take action. What is it that you want, and what are the chances that you can actually start realising it? Or will it remain just dreams and be wasted energy better spent on something that is achievable? Stay realistic and honest with yourself at all times to avoid disappointment.
Welfare:
Possibly your health is stable, just as your mind is balanced. After all, body and mind are interrelated. If you are a woman; maybe you suffer from some menstrual complaints or other discomforts related to your monthly cycle or reproductive organs.
Career:
The High Priestess represents patience, understanding, calmness and intuitive skills. It is therefore not wrong to be a bit calmer, more open and understanding towards your colleagues today. In any case, keep listening carefully to your own feelings and do what your heart tells you. In any case, keep doing your own thing at work. Don't let yourself be rushed or manipulated by others, but above all keep following your own feelings. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and in your relationships with others.
Finance:
Today is a good time to better understand your income and expenses. Know what you are doing and feel for yourself when it is or is not wise to make a certain purchase. If you need to sign a certain agreement today, it is not wise to just sign anything. Chances are that there is no full disclosure. Unread small print could just kill you.
Friendships/love:
Follow your gut when making new contacts. Does someone feel right or do you not quite trust the person in question? Actually, you should just learn to trust your inner voice and not give people about whom you have certain doubts the benefit of the doubt. After all, your first impression is often correct! Be patient, understanding and helpful towards your partner and friends. Do you feel that something is not right with someone close to you or does your intuition tell you that your partner has a problem that he/she is not expressing? Then try to calmly find out what it is that is bothering him or her. Be patient and, above all, don't dive straight in to 'pull it out'. This will always backfire.
Eye-opener of the day: Delving into spirituality and being patient is different from feeling superior to others and confusing patience with passivity.
Spell of the day: Trust your feelings even if your ratio has doubts about this.
Remember:
- Dare to trust your intuition, even when it tells you something you don't really want to hear!
- Respect others, even if they are less mentally developed than yourself.
- Keep working on your own spiritual development; try to specialise in a particular direction.
- When you want to achieve something, or are working on a plan, wait patiently and don't force anything. The right moment will present itself when you learn to be patient
Do:
- Listen to your own intuition
- Learn to be patient
- Delve into spirituality; consult the pendulum, tarot, runes, nature, or anything else you feel comfortable with that insightfully stimulates your subconscious.
- Discover your hidden talents and use them!
- Keep your composure
Tarot day card 3. Day of the Empress
Symbolism:
If you look closely at the Empress, you will notice that she is pregnant. And that the symbol of femininity is clearly visible on the map. She is in a natural area where everything is growing and blooming. There is ripe corn, lots of greenery and the stream is flowing. This card clearly represents growth and flowering, and in all areas. Whether you are concerned with a new job, a new relationship or have plans to start a family. Creative ideas swirling around in your mind also need time to grow and mature. But when you see this card, it often means that now is the right time to implement these ideas. Grow and blossom, time to reap the rewards of your hard work in the past. The time is ripe!
Keywords:
Growth, loving, fertile, rich, creative, happy, wise, possesses self-esteem.
Possible events today:
You will notice growth in everything you are involved in: everything around you slowly begins to grow and flourish and the time is almost ripe to reap the rewards. You will be noticed and appreciated for your efforts and for what you can do. Both in your work and personal relationships, everything will go very well next year and you will feel particularly good about yourself. Fruitful times will present themselves and you will enjoy them! Your creativity and past efforts are finally starting to bear fruit and you deserve it! Also, spend some time in nature every now and then, walking, cycling and relaxing! The Empress Day is a day of progress in all fields. Sometimes this card represents fertility in terms of a pregnancy of yourself or someone close to you!
You:
On a personal level, today you should adopt more of the Empress' traits, behave more like the Empress and do as she does. Dare to be confident in your ideas and try to notice when the time is right to take action. Enjoy everything you do, including (especially!) love and your own creativity. Don't just keep thinking, but dare to carry out what you think and feel. Flirt, laugh, have fun and be attractive! Take care of yourself, make yourself beautiful and show off. Show yourself and dare! Make it clear what you want, but also take enough rest. It is a shame if you cannot implement your plans because you are too tired. A good night's sleep and sufficient relaxation work wonders; move, exercise, walk, and eat healthy and regularly! This too will work towards the success of your plans. Take the first step towards your future today.
Stumbling blocks:
The Empress loves a beautiful exterior and beautiful surroundings, but it is also important to stay focused on the inner self, both in terms of health and beauty. So keep eating healthy yourself, drinking enough (water), exercising often and getting enough rest. Also keep being selfless for others and be understanding and helpful. Even if you don't gain anything material from this yourself. Make sure your beauty is not only on the outside, but especially on the inside. Those who are beautiful on the inside are also beautiful on the outside! Today this will stand out even more.
Welfare:
You may be feeling fine and in good health. Since the Empress is the fertility card par excellence, there is a chance of good news related to health and especially pregnancy. If you don't want to get pregnant, be extra careful especially today.
Career:
You can start preparing for a change for the better today! The Empress usually announces a new development in the work sphere, and not infrequently this is an advancement! An entirely new position or the start of a good development for a later date is also among the possibilities. A good conversation with the possibility of growth and advancement is to be expected. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and in dealing with others.
Finance:
Possibly things are going pretty well for you financially today. You can probably even start reaping the benefits of earlier activities or investments. If you want to enter into a certain agreement today, you would do well to put it in writing. If you feel it is better to do this through a notary or lawyer, listen to your feelings. Certainty is important.
Friendships/love:
Use your own creativity also within your relationship and/or friendships. Surprise your partner without having to make amends. And if you do have something to make up for, surprise them with a big surprise. Take something for your best friend or mother-in-law without it being her birthday. It certainly doesn't have to be something expensive. A tin of home-made biscuits or a bag of your favourite liquorice is always good too.
Eye-opener of the day: Enjoying your success is different from boasting and giving importance to outward appearances.
Spell of the day: Stick to your own feelings and dare to actually trust them. Contradictions can also complement each other very well if you handle them in the right way.
Remember:
- Dare to use your creative talents, even just by impulse!
- Be loving towards others, smile at someone on the street, offer a listening ear to a friend in need.
- After hard work or long thinking, dare to reap the fruits of your efforts, and... enjoy this too!
Do:
- Learn to enjoy what you have
- Believe in the (coming) results of what you do
- Go outside, take a walk, enjoy nature or work in the garden
- Pay attention to your family and/or home life
- Move
- Develop your creative talents
Tarot day card 4. Emperor's day
Symbolism:
The Emperor sits on his cold stone throne. He thinks more with his mind than with his feelings and the ram's head on his throne shows us that he can be quite stubborn at times. He likes things to be according to his will and with the sceptre he tries to keep everything under control. Sometimes a little too... The Emperor is strict (also to himself) and rigid, and does not like to talk about his deeper feelings, the Emperor is rational but reliable.
Keywords:
Controlling, orderly, leading, stable, stubborn, strict, authoritarian, powerful, rational, authoritative, responsible, strong, ambitious, independent, confident.
Possible events today:
Now is the time to take matters into your own hands, to take control of your life or a particular situation. Above all, be clear to those around you and stick to your point of view. Doors to success will open for you, as this is the card of power, influence and energy. Therefore, stay focused so that you can recognise and deal with these opportunities! There may be a moment when you should dare to stand up for your ideas and use the lessons you have learned so far. This is a perfect moment to take control of your life. The Emperor gives you strength and insight, allowing you to bring more structure to your life. Great opportunities, both personal and business, present themselves, and because the Emperor is such a powerful card, it is even possible to make certain dreams come true, provided you stay alert, show commitment and make known what you really want.
You:
On a personal level, today you should adopt more of the Emperor's traits, behave more like the Emperor and do as he does. Be honest, try to be straightforward with a sober outlook on life. Don't try to hide yourself behind a mask or a smile that is not really meant, but dare to be yourself. Dare to say 'no' if you don't feel like doing something. This will prevent small irritations from getting finically out of hand and causing arguments or even ruptures in friendships and relationships. Today, it is important to make clear to others what you really want (or don't want!) When you learn to say 'no', you will notice that people will no longer ask you for things you don't really want.
Stumbling blocks:
It is good to take control of your own life, but be careful not to become a control freak. There is no need to be too strict. Both to others and to yourself, you can be a bit more flexible today. Stay open to the good ideas of others. Make sure you do not behave stubbornly or dominantly, which may cause those around you to perceive you as 'ruling'...
Welfare:
Today is a great time to maintain or create order and structure. Stability is important and can help you implement your plans slowly but surely and make your dreams come true. Clearly state your boundaries, but respect other people's boundaries too. Stress can make you prone to allergies or if you are predisposed to this; flare-ups of skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and other rashes.
Career:
Chances are you'll take a step forward in work today. Thanks to the mental strength the Emperor brings with him today, you can start realising certain ideas. The Emperor is reliable and steadfast, but sometimes adopts a slightly too rigid attitude towards others. Guard against you doing the same today. Your will is not a law, even if you sometimes wish it were otherwise. The Emperor is disciplined and responsible; try to show this trait yourself at work today. It is best to expect a similar attitude from your colleagues too, but try to present it in such a way that you do not come across as commanding. Precisely because of your own perseverance today, you will find that certain opportunities will arise, but even then you will have to remain disciplined to make it a success. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and in your dealings with others.
Finance:
You may be able to expect an improvement regarding your financial situation. A raise, a promotion or some other development that will result in financial security. If you need to enter into a certain agreement today, it is a good idea to inform yourself thoroughly before signing anything. Choose overall security and do not let yourself be talked into something you do not really feel up to. When it comes to money matters, pay more attention to common sense than to intuition and think carefully about the consequences of spending or signing.
Love/Friendships:
It is good to clearly state your boundaries within a friendship or relationship; especially today, it is good to be clear towards others. With the Emperor as your day card, it is important that you take care not to overstep other people's boundaries, but certainly keep guarding your own. Don't act like a strict emperor, but also don't let yourself be dominated by another person who acts like a strict emperor! Be clear to friends and family, but treat them as you should be treated: with respect.
Eye-opener of the day: Setting your boundaries and living a structured life is different from drilling others and setting yourself up as a control freak
Spell of the day: Take responsibility for your own life confidently yet with a clear mind.
Remember:
- Dare to confront problems.
- Work on your own independence.
- Think logically and stay realistic, but never lose your sense of humour and sense of romance!
- Dare to look at yourself with some self-mockery sometimes. Sometimes it is good to laugh at yourself.
Do:
- Create order and regularity in your life
- Keep your self-control
- Indicate your limits
- Think with your mind first instead of your feelings
- Don't let yourself be bossed around by anyone in your environment
- Stand up for yourself
Tarot day card 5. The day of the High Priest
Symbolism:
The High Priest (also called the Hierophant) actually has two meanings. The image represents a teacher who tells his students everything he knows, and they listen studiously to what he has to tell them. In his hand, he holds the key that leads to the truth. To the answers you are looking for. The question here is: are you the teacher or the learner? Are you guiding others or being guided yourself? Are you looking for answers or are you giving them to seekers? As you can see, the High Priest and the monks are in the church. This indicates that upholding tradition and rituals is highly valued. If you have a problem, try to solve it in a traditional way, in the normal way, i.e. not too original or frivolous, but just 'normal'...
Keywords:
Traditional, possesses norms and values, conservative, educational, teaching, guiding or seeking.
Possible events today:
With the High Priest as a day card, you are blessed, so to speak, for today. Think to yourself what problem or problems you would like to see solved, and tackle it by seeking (traditional) help. Dare to ask for help, it has never made anyone worse off, and it is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Ask a teacher, close friend, GP, therapist, etc.for advice, but also listen to your own inner voice! You are blessed by the High Priest, so don't worry too much, because the problems you are currently struggling with or will face in the coming year will be solved. Perhaps by being able to be of support to someone yourself, but you might also be helped by someone else. In terms of health, it is also good to take to heart the regularity and traditional ways of the High Priest. Make sure not only that you get enough exercise, but also good nutrition and adequate rest. Ensure a regular pattern of living. Preparations may be made today to make a commitment in the form of cohabitation, marriage or signing a contract.
You:
On a personal level, you should take on more qualities of the High Priest today, behave more like the High Priest and do as he does. What you need to realise today is that there is no shame in taking good advice from someone who may have more life experience or even be an expert in a certain field that you have little or no knowledge of. Everyone has his or her own understanding of one thing or another, and it is certainly not a bad idea to ask someone else for advice when you are at a loss for words. After all, two people know more than one. You don't only ask a friend, a girlfriend or a family member for good advice, but also a therapist or a lawyer, for example. The High Priest gives advice in all areas and shows you that you should certainly not be ashamed to seek help from a psychologist or therapist. On the contrary, it can give you a nudge in the right direction; maybe even the last nudge you needed to move on. If everything is going just fine in your life, the High Priest shows that it might not even be such a crazy idea to counsel others today as you yourself might once have been counseled.
Stumbling blocks:
The High Priest is happy to offer a helping hand, but you are not meant to lean on him forever. It is good to ask someone for advice, but try to function independently again afterwards. If you have a problem, today is the time to get out of it, but what is very important here: show commitment yourself! Don't leave solving the problem to someone else, but use someone else's help as a stepping stone to continue independently afterwards. You should also make an effort yourself. You will probably have to let go of certain things today or take more action, but: if you really do your best, the problem will soon be solved! If you yourself are the one offering help to someone else, the same applies: help them on their way, but make sure that the person in question does not constantly make use of your good intentions, that he or she does not remain stuck in the role of victim, but puts his or her own shoulders to the wheel!
Welfare:
Typical day of 'just do it and you'll be crazy enough'. going the traditional way can work to your advantage today and give you peace of mind. Live by what your heart and conscience tells you and be there for others when needed, but...stay aware that you too cannot solve everything by yourself and there is no shame in asking for advice or help yourself. Because of stress or overexertion, you may experience sore or stiff muscles in your shoulders or neck or cramps in your stomach or abdomen. Try to avoid these.
Career:
On the work front, you may be signing a contract today or getting good help from someone in the workplace to move forward. Set yourself up to be honest, trustworthy and helpful. This attitude will certainly take you a long way today. If you are not working (currently), try to apply the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
Possibly today is a good day for money matters. Growth and progress are on the horizon. In terms of contracts or agreements, it is a good time to sign a marriage certificate, enter into a registered partnership or draw up a cohabitation contract. A business agreement with a (business) partner is also a possibility.
Friendships/love:
Today, on the love front, you can expect a serious commitment or a token of appreciation and loyalty. You may meet someone resulting in a steady relationship leading to serious future plans. Or perhaps preparations are being made for cohabitation or marriage. The High Priest represents traditions and commitments, so a serious step in love is to be expected. If you are not very involved in this yet, the High Priest advises you to start thinking about it differently. Also be open to friends in need, help them on their way if you are asked for advice. However, be careful not to provide your friends and family with unsolicited advice all the time.
Eye-opener of the day: asking someone's help is different from leaning on someone and staying in the victim role without putting the advice obtained into practice.
Spell of the day: Bring your earthly life in harmony with spiritual laws.
Remember:
- Don't just be open to advice from others, but above all, dare to ask for it yourself.
- Consider a serious commitment in the form of a marriage or contract.
- Dare to ask for help, but don't stay in the victim role and, above all, keep working on your own independence and self-reliance.
Do:
- Choose the traditional route
- Immerse yourself in a religion or spirituality
- Dare to ask for advice
- Be willing to support others
- Be loyal
- Be honest
- Teach yourself discipline
Tarot day card 6. The Day of the Beloved
Symbolism:
The Lovers show us that they love each other very much, that there is a lot of love around you, but also that you are facing an important choice. This can be in love, but also in friendship, work, living. Behind Eve, the serpent can be seen. He whispers to her what to do. However, the snake is always thinking of himself. That's what you should do too. Make the decision that feels right for yourself! The angel also gives you permission to follow your gut, after all, not every temptation is necessarily bad. However, keep listening to your conscience and after the first feeling you get, think about the possible consequences certain decisions could have.
Keywords:
Loving, confident, friendly, attractive, indecisive, romantic, honest, loyal and sympathetic.
Possible events today;
You are facing an important choice. This may have to do with a relationship, but could very well relate to work, friendship, a move, etc. However, it is important that you think carefully before making a decision. Here, you can decide whether to listen to the snake on the chart for your inner voice! The snake is a selfish animal, it will never consider others, but always go its own way. Does this feel right for you too? Or would you rather make a decision that takes someone else into account? Before making a final choice, listen to your heart, your feelings. Look honestly at the shortcomings of others, but don't forget your own! Look at the good qualities of others as well as your own: this insight will help you make the right decision!
You:
On a personal level today, you need to adopt more traits of the Beloved, behave more like the Beloved and do as they do. The Beloved show us that they love each other very much, that there is a lot of love around you, but also that you are facing an important choice. This can be in love, but also in friendship, work, living, etc. Eve holds the moon, Adam the sun, so the choice is important, because what should you choose? Day or night? Sun or moon? Light or darkness? Without one, the other cannot exist, so you need to think very carefully about which choice you make, because it could be of great importance for the time ahead.
Stumbling blocks:
The choice(s) you need to make today may have to do with love itself, but also with other goals in your life. Of course, it is a nice attitude to want to take everyone into account, but what is especially important is that you make certain (important) decisions mainly with your own feelings! You can make a choice assuming it will make your partner, the children or your mother very happy, but... is it also a good choice for yourself! Will your partner, your children and/or your mother be happy with this decision if you are not happy with it yourself? Remember that certain choices can sometimes be very important for the rest of your life and that you should listen to your own inner voice when making that choice!
Welfare:
It is especially important today that you stand 100% behind what you are doing. This also applies to making choices. Think about your decisions carefully and only when it really feels completely right, decide to actually do it. Make yourself happy first, then you can make others happy too. You may be a little restless or nervous about one thing or another. This may cause your heart rate and/or blood pressure to rise slightly. Stay as calm as possible. Is it really necessary for you to get so worked up sometimes? First and foremost, choose for yourself and don't let your health suffer because of doubts or wrong decisions.
Career:
Today you should reflect on the fact that it is important that you start doing something for a living that you really enjoy. You may be faced with a choice in your work. Try to listen to your feelings when making a decision. Perhaps you will not immediately be presented with something new, but you will find out today that what you are currently doing is actually what you really want to do (continue to do), and that you will therefore choose your current job for the full 100%. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
It may be a good time to invest. It is also a good time to sell something. Old or new stuff, on the (black?) market or via the internet. Because in the image of this card the snake Eve tries to seduce, this card also sometimes represents dishonest trade that pays off. If you need to enter into a certain deal today, there is a good chance that people are not being open with certain negotiations. Further investigation is recommended.
Friendships/love:
In love, too, you will have to make a choice today. Perhaps a very important choice. Maybe you are currently already in a relationship and you have doubts about it. But maybe someone else is also coming your way and you have doubts about this person? We all have a dream image of what our partner should look like, or how our partner should dress or behave, but try to remain realistic too. Fairy tales don't exist and maybe that's just as well. Maybe a lot of characteristics are hidden in your own (new) partner, and you need to make the choice today whether you want to find them or not. Maybe you also decide to make the final choice to move on with your current partner. Whatever you decide, choose first with your feelings and only then with your mind.
Eye-opener of the day: Being considerate of others is different from constantly pushing yourself away.
Proverb of the day: Every decision in favour of one comes at the expense of another. Whatever choice you make; stick to it and it will be the right one.
Remember:
- Dare to receive love, but also give it!
- Try not to make decisions with your mind alone, but let your feelings weigh at least as much.
- Don't just consider others, do something you really feel good about for once!
Do:
- Dare to make choices
- Act on your feelings
- Pay attention to your relationship or love
- Do what is right for yourself
Tarot day card 7. The day of the Sea Chariot
Symbolism:
The Zegewagen has set off! He knows exactly what he wants and is on his way to his destination. He has a black sphinx and a white sphinx (or a black horse and a white horse) that sometimes both want to go in a different direction, so the road to his final destination will not always be over roses. Sometimes he will encounter some setbacks, but that doesn't bother him. He knows what he wants, and is 100% committed to achieving his goal! In doing so, he seems to have no physical control over the sphinxes, as the reins are missing. So he has to show them the way with his mind, which takes a lot of willpower. Sometimes he passes himself by. It is important not to take hasty steps.
Keywords:
Forward-thinking, enterprising, initiating, decisive, courageous, assertive, controlling, purposeful, inquisitive, steadfast, optimistic, strong-willed and ambitious.
Possible events today:
Today you can count on a departure. This departure may involve a (distant) journey, but also a move or a change of job or a change/farewell to an old thought pattern. In any case, it involves a departure in which you will pursue your goal; the departure is entirely voluntary. Remember that you may still have a lot to learn and that the road will not be all roses. The black and white horse on the card symbolise the disagreements you are likely to encounter on your road to success, but remember that you cannot be friends with everyone. Once you know what you want, don't let the slightest setback get you down. However, if the obstacles are (too) big, be wise and consider that it might be better to take a little breather and try again at another time. It is good to dare to take a risk every now and then, but also make sure not to overestimate yourself.
You:
On a personal level, you should take on more attributes of the Zegewagen driver, behave more like the Zegewagen driver and do as he does. When you have made your choice, go straight for your goal without running ahead of yourself. When you act this way today, you can expect great success.
Stumbling blocks:
The most important thing to bear in mind today is the fact that you may be rushing into things, making a decision too quickly, which then turns out not to turn out well after all. Self-exaggeration is therefore lurking. Especially when you have already had a fair amount of success, you might get the feeling that you can do everything, which of course is not true. Nobody can really do everything. Also, think carefully before you take a big step; first think about what could go right, but don't forget what could go wrong! If something really goes wrong, feel free to admit that maybe it wasn't the right time and take a step back. Taking a risk is fine, but going against your better judgment can turn out to be completely wrong.
Welfare:
It is good to go straight for your goal, but try to feel when you need to hold back. Don't lose sight of your ultimate goal! You may not have anything to worry about today, except that you should be careful not to overestimate yourself. Disappointments can 'eat away' at you, as can rash actions. An accident is in a small corner.
Career:
You can count on a big leap forward. Maybe you have already taken this big leap recently. If so, you can assume that (especially today) you will (continue to) be successful in your new position. That you may be given more responsibility and will probably be able to work more independently. If you have plans to start your own business, today is a good time to take the first steps in this. A shop, your own business(es), practice, webshop. There are several possibilities in which you could succeed. If none of these are in the pipeline, you might be able to count on a good job interview or evaluation or a new employment contract. Either way, you will go for the wind today. At the same time, the Seagull cautions you to be careful not to do more than you can handle and to keep a positive attitude towards others. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
You can possibly expect a big improvement financially. It does not come without effort and effort pays off. Thanks to your own commitment, willpower and perseverance, you will soon be able to count on considerable progress with regard to your finances.
Love/ friendships:
Possibly you are entering into a new relationship, which makes you so over the moon that there is a danger that, without thinking it through, you will burn all ships behind you. Possibly, you are so sure of yourself that you give up hearth and home without hesitation to be with your beloved. Although the chances of this relationship succeeding are high, the Sea Chariot warns to think everything through calmly before taking a leap of faith. Alternatively, if you are already in a relationship, it could get a big boost. So even in an existing relationship, a big leap forward can be expected.It is also possible that today you will give extra thought to starting a family, taking a holiday together or moving house.
Eye-opener of the day: Knowing what you want and taking the shortest route to success is different from pushing your own way and thundering over other people's boundaries.
Spell of the day: Find your inner balance between the extremes and you will overcome all obstacles.
Remember:
- Express your boundaries when necessary, both to yourself and to others.
- Finish what you start (think carefully about the pros and cons beforehand).
- Keep yourself in mind every day what you really want to achieve.
Do:
- Take initiative
- Overcome your inner struggle
- Go straight to your goal
- Keep your emotions in check
- Don't give up
- Keep self-confidence
- Be willing
- Be assertive
- Dare to lead
Tarot day card 8. The Day of Strength
Symbolism:
The lady tames the lion. He surrenders to her completely: she never expected this. The Force shows us that sometimes you are able to achieve a lot more than you actually thought you could. If only you have patience, perseverance, hope and courage, and if only you want to! A calm, confident approach usually achieves much more than anger and aggression. You are much stronger than you realise and capable of much more than you may now expect.
Keywords:
Active, courageous, strong-willed, persistent, energetic, possesses self-discipline, self-control, vigilant, creative, proud, balanced, confident, sometimes arrogant and bossy.
Possible events today:
Strength feels strong, shows willpower and courage when needed. Try to discover these qualities in yourself too. You can do much more than you think, provided you know what you want, are patient and take the time to see through others so that you can take advantage of them. An unexpected opportunity presents itself and if you dare to seize it, a spectacular positive change will result!
You:
On a personal level, today you should take on more attributes of the Force, act more like the Force and do as it does. Don't run away from problems, but patiently watch your opponent from a distance and try to assess what his or her weak spot is. Never show that you are insecure or afraid, because this will make your opponent or competitor feel stronger and more powerful towards you, and that is exactly not the intention! When the other person sees that you remain calm, unafraid and confident, he or she will automatically fade away and you will win the battle without having to fight! Nor does it matter what you do; what is important is how you do it. Do you know the saying, "He who is not strong must be smart"? If you patiently wait for your chance and then act appropriately, you will be able to achieve so much more than you ever thought possible.
Stumbling blocks:
The Force is good at seeing through people when it allows itself time to observe others from a distance. Seeing through people can also work to your advantage today, but not if you propagate this to the outside world, if you blow the whistle that you know how such and such a person works and what he or she is up to. Above all, keep this to yourself and take advantage of it yourself. In any case, it is good in this way to keep at a distance the people with whom you would rather have nothing to do and, on the contrary, attract more the people you would like to get to know better.
Welfare:
Be aware of the fact that you need to have confidence in your own ability, but that patience is also necessary to take action at the right time. Stay calm and wait for this right moment to present itself.
Possibly you feel good and are comfortable in your skin. You have a good amount of energy and body strength today. Your health is good or getting better. Sometimes this card also represents fertility!
Career:
The Force is full of energy and this is also noticeable at work. When you listen to your body properly (good nutrition and sufficient exercise) you are in great shape and this is directly the power behind your performance. When you feel good in your skin, you are also better able to perform well. And more importantly: you also enjoy it! Keep your inner strength hidden at work too, but let it out at the right moment, for instance when you are sure that a plan will be taken seriously and will help you to get ahead. Make sure you keep certain insecurities or doubts to yourself, but do try to discover the insecurities and doubts of others; then you will always be one step ahead of them! If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
You can possibly expect good development on the financial front. However, it is necessary that you continue to show commitment and make a certain plan for yourself to work out. Things will not happen by themselves and patience, perseverance and willpower are not a luxury. In business, you would be wise to realise your plans and take a risk if this is what you really want. After all, chances are that it will turn out well.
Friendships/love:
In love, the power of this card is also reflected. There is great physical attraction or even fiery passion today! There is surrender and passion, but sometimes also great drama, as small events can be blown up into a true spectacle. Your relationship (if you have one) will be powerful today and its influence on you will be noticeable outside the relationship. You feel good and this gives you strength and energy! You just shine today. As for friendships, the Force gives you extra insight. With patience and discipline, you can see through those around you. And without using too many words, you can distance yourself a bit more from some people without arguing or hurting anyone. Those you do enjoy spending time with will notice this too. So you can use body language and behaviour to repel or attract other people. And be honest without having to hurt anyone. People will notice you automatically, basically just like a lion expresses itself by using body language. No need to roar.
Eye-opener of the day: Clearly stating your boundaries and taking action at the right time is different from shouting over another person and making an aggressive impression.
Spell of the day: Your animal, dark side is also an important part of your psyche; acceptance of your dark side will transform it into a very special power.
Remember::
- Be disciplined, keep yourself under control, don't let yourself be known.
- You will be successful if you can properly combine willpower, courage and patience.
- Believe in yourself and turn your knowledge into action. Be strong-willed, but definitely decisive!
Do:
- Be patient
- Count to 10...
- Keep confidence in yourself
- Keep courage
- Be tolerant
- Keep your eyes open and observe
- Be tactful
Tarot day card 9. The day of the Hermit
Symbolism:
The Hermit (also called the Hermit) is searching. He shines his lamp ahead to find the right path. But everything he is looking for is within himself. He should shine his lamp inward and search there. What he finds there, he can then radiate outwards so that he can be a light for others! The Hermit possesses an enormous amount of inner wisdom and is also good at being alone. Sometimes he even needs to be alone for a while.
Keywords:
Independent, quiet, solitary, thoughtful, patient, discreet, introverted, shy, withdrawn, spiritual, modest and wise.
Possible events today:
The Hermit likes to be alone and therefore advises you to isolate yourself from others and those around you a bit more today. And to look at the situations around you from a distance. This will give you more insight into the people around you, but especially into yourself! Spending some time alone will do you good and increase your self-knowledge. Try meditating too; you will find more inner peace. If you have a problem, try to solve it on your own. After all, all the answers are inside yourself. In your own subconscious. And being alone is not yet the same as being lonely. Caution is also called for today. Think carefully before stepping into something. Despite a difficult period you have just gone through or which you may currently still be in the middle of, you will eventually find happiness, if only you take the time to create some (inner) peace for yourself.
You:
On a personal level today, you need to adopt more of the Hermit's traits, act more like the Hermit and do as he does. Dare to be different. Dare to go your own way, dare to say 'no', dare to distance yourself from others every now and then in order to think about what you would like to do yourself... and then do it! Sometimes being alone for a while is the only way to reach yourself. An inner quest is no luxury. Observe others from a distance instead of very close up and you will find that observing others brings out a lot about yourself. Do you agree with them? Yes? Why? No. Why not? What would you think is the right way to act and why are you not doing it?
Stumbling blocks:
The Hermit possesses a lot of inner wisdom, and when he retreats into his own little world from time to time, this wisdom will only grow. The same applies to you. If you seclude yourself from time to time (and especially today), you will gain more and more insight into your own life, as well as the lives of others! You will see why some people around you stay together despite not being happy together. (People will not admit this, but you will see it clearly!) You will gain more and more insight into the fact that some people around you cannot or do not want to be alone. You will get more and more insight into the characters of people around you and you will also start to see more and more what one could do to feel more comfortable, happier, healthier, fitter, etc. Still, try to keep your focus mainly on yourself. Just make sure it all doesn't happen to you, that you stay content with what you have, but don't interfere in other people's private lives uninvited. When someone wants your advice, they will ask for it. Often they know what is wrong, but don't want to change for fear of changes or problems the changes will bring. Just be glad that you do have self-insight and insight into your life. The others are simply slower to learn. Don't let their problems become yours, and don't become a 'pedantic' person.
Welfare:
It may be important to take some time for yourself to calmly sort everything out and check for yourself whether you are really living a healthy life. Try not to look for something bad behind every little pain, but make lifestyle changes if necessary or see a doctor before you scare yourself unnecessarily.
Career:
You will find that - when you spend more time with your inner self today - you will start looking at your surroundings differently. Especially at work too. Maybe you used to think that earning as much money as possible and making a career were among the most important things in your life, and suddenly you start thinking very differently about this? Try to see that success and a fat bank account have nothing to do with being truly happy. Happiness cannot be bought! True happiness is inside and not in the bank. After all, what good is a million if you were seriously ill? And what is the value of a large villa if you were to miss a child? Material possessions are then suddenly not important at all. You would give up everything to regain your health or your child. You would go and live in a hut on the heath if necessary, wouldn't you? Unfortunately, many people do not realise that the things they already possess are actually the greatest wealth on earth that one could wish for! Perhaps by going on an inner quest today, this will also make you behave differently at work. Less stress, more free time, maybe a little less salary, less success, but a greater sense of fulfilment! Above all, stay calm at work, don't be rushed and keep thinking about everything calmly before making a decision. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
You may be wise to think twice before proceeding with any expenditure. Financial prudence is definitely advisable now, as is thrift. Saving for a rainy day certainly doesn't hurt. If you need to enter into a certain agreement today, it is a good idea to check everywhere before signing. Right now, you cannot be too careful.
Friendships/love:
Being lonely is no fun, but what is sometimes even worse than that is: being lonely as a couple! Maybe you are currently in a relationship in which you don't feel completely happy. What is the cause of this? Perhaps you also feel lonely when you sit at home on the couch together? Is there no more conversation material? Are you bored when you are at home together, or even worse: even when you are on holiday together? In that case, it would be good to take a break from each other for a while and see what this period of being alone does to you. Maybe you don't even miss your partner and you are still together 'because that's how it grew'. Does your partner still add something to your life or are you together out of habit? Sometimes it is good to spend some time alone, because it not only gives you more insight into yourself, but also into your relationship! If your relationship is good, it is also advisable to spend time alone once in a while, doing something for yourself. If both of you can also enjoy being alone now and then, this will only strengthen the relationship. You give the other person the chance to miss you for a while and then being together again is extra fun (provided the relationship is good!).
Eye-opener of the day: Spending some time alone to expand your (self) knowledge is different from isolating yourself and being pedantic.
Spell of the day: Really get in touch with your inner voice, your own spiritual guide who knows the answer to all your questions. As long as you want to hear it.
Remember:
- Keep seeing the positive in others. Everyone possesses less good qualities, but... everyone also possesses good qualities!
- Pull yourself back every now and then and take an inner journey. Find the answers you are looking for not outside, but inside yourself.
- Clear away all difficulties before you continue on your life path, and also look at what your own role is in the problems that are currently still there. How did it come to this and how can you resolve it?
Do:
- Take time for yourself
- Say 'no' when you don't feel like doing something
- Be discreet
- Don't be rushed
- Meditate
- Gain self-knowledge
- Study and/or seek advice from a mentor
- Delve into spirituality
Tarot day card 10. Wheel of Fortune day
Symbolism:
The Wheel shows us that sometimes life works the same way as the Wheel of Fortune. Life is sometimes daring to take a risk, and sometimes hoping that the Wheel (the 'Fate') will stop turning at a good time, so that you get lucky. What is very important, on the contrary, is not to wait and see what the Fate brings us, but to determine fate itself!
Keep control. Don't wait to see where the Wheel stops turning, but dare to jump off at the right moment to determine your own luck and thereby lend a hand to your own Fate, before you join the Wheel in the same circle year after year!
Keywords:
Developing, improving, changing, innovating, happy, creative, sometimes unstable.
Possible events today:
Today it is very important for you to dare to step out of the circle you have been walking around in for so long. Are you not completely happy with the current state of affairs, but have you accepted it? Then ask yourself again why. Why accept something if you don't really feel good about it? If it doesn't make you happy? Today is a good time to jump off the spinning Wheel at the right moment and take a new path! You can also expect a spontaneous, sudden change, which may at first seem to involve a slight regression, but in the end seems beneficial because it offers you a new opportunity. You will achieve success if you dare to seize your opportunities and especially if you dare to create them yourself!
You:
On a personal level, today you should adopt more attributes of the Wheel of Fortune, behave more like the Wheel and do as the Wheel does. Don't let success depend on chance, but work towards it yourself! Sometimes you can keep going round and round in the same circle and still make the same mistakes over and over again. Learn from this, take a risk now and then and determine your own fate! Don't wait, don't think: this is how it is. Do not resign yourself to fate, but determine your own fate, because it is possible! Especially today. Wake up and take action yourself!
Stumbling blocks:
Have you learnt your lesson? Then stay just as alert. Don't think, if you have dared to take a risk, that things must (continue to) go well now, but remain vigilant, because a new opportunity may spontaneously present itself out of nowhere. After all, the Wheel is the card of great (positive!) changes, even if they cause some confusion at first. Afterwards, it will turn out that Fate is especially good to you if you give it a hand yourself every now and then and respond well to it. Also, don't just turn down an offer; you might miss a wonderful opportunity!
Welfare:
Drinking a lot is always good for your well-being. For your brain, your kidneys, your skin, etc. You may need to make sure you keep drinking enough (water/tea) especially today. Your liver has many tasks to perform and you make it easier if you keep your fluid levels up and do not take in unnecessary sugars, alcohol, dyes or other harmful substances. That way, your liver doesn't have to filter the 'junk' out of your system first, but can get straight to work purifying your blood.
Career:
You may find yourself in a vicious cycle and somehow keep getting stuck in the same position over and over again. Break your old pattern, break the rut and try new ideas! If necessary, take a course that could take you forward, ask for a meeting with your manager or discuss certain things with your colleagues. If necessary, look out for another job if you are no longer enjoying yourself at work. Wheel of Fortune usually represents accepting things 'because that's the way they are' and the idea that the situation cannot be changed. But nothing could be further from the truth. Fate does not determine how you arrange your life, you do that yourself! If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and in your dealings with others.
Finance:
Today is not a bad time to visit the bank and get advice on savings schemes or opening a new bank/giro account. Got a good idea? Subtly inquire around (without immediately telling everyone what your plan is because of possible theft of your creative property) whether your idea already exists.
Friendships/love:
Don't make your heart a murder pit! It happens so often that friends or lovers are afraid to tell each other what they don't like about the other person. The irritations mount, until eventually the bomb bursts. During a trivial disagreement, the whole pile of misery is then thrown out at once and one accusation follows another. As soon as you don't like something about the other person, bring it up in a calm manner. (And especially not during a disagreement or argument!) Talking about it together in peace and quiet is better than taking your frustrations about the person in question to third parties, because that will not solve the problem. Should this honest talk mean the end of the friendship or relationship, remember that this may be better than continuing for another ten years with all the annoyances and irritations that cannot be expressed... What is very important: also look at your own behaviour and way of thinking! Dare to be honest with and about yourself and dare to admit your own mistakes during your conversation with the other person.
Eye-opener of the day: Taking matters into your own hands and going in a completely different direction is different from waiting to see what comes your way and then taking action afterwards.
Spell of the day: take a look at whether certain events in your life are really negative or whether you experience them as negative yourself. Or... putting a negative spin on this yourself.
Remember:
- Keep your promises and don't promise more than you can deliver.
- Dare to break the rut yourself.
- Learn from your mistakes, stop walking around 'in a circle'. This way, you will never move forward.
Do:
- Dare to open new doors yourself
- Be open to change
- Dare to take control
- Take a different path
- Don't wait, take action yourself
Remark:
To day card 10: the Wheel of Fortune, also belongs card 1: the Magician.
Also read the description of card 1, the Magician, at your leisure, because this card shows you how you could change the direction of your life yourself today.
Tarot day card 11. Justice day
Symbolism:
Justice sits here thinking, holding her scales with her left hand to weigh everything against each other. The left is the side of feeling, intuition. So she weighs up all the pros and cons by feeling. With the right hand, the side of intellect, reason, she holds up her sword with which she judges. This card shows us that everything needs to be considered very carefully. And what is very important is that you also need to be very honest with yourself! And that you should also dare to judge your own behaviour and thoughts and take responsibility for your own behaviour. And for your own actions.
What went wrong, and what was your own part in this? What do you want, but more importantly, what don't you want? What does your gut say and what does your mind say? Do both sides match? Being honest with yourself is not always easy, but sometimes necessary to (be able to) change your life, but also your own behaviour and way of thinking in time. Do not only listen to your feelings, but also to your mind!
Keywords:
Responsible, decisive, integrity, rational, balanced, judgmental.
Possible events today:
Today is a good day to prepare to make firm commitments. It is a good time to sign a contract, create a balanced situation and fight injustice. If you are involved in a court case, the final verdict will be in your favour provided you are in your true right of course. Law will prevail. Victory can be achieved if you get the right help. Behave yourself according to the law and don't do anything today that you know is actually wrong. The law can sometimes be circumvented, but justice will prevail in the end and especially today. Everyone gets what is rightfully theirs! Remember that everything you do, right or wrong, you will meet again later in your own path.
You:
On a personal level today, you should take on more attributes of Justice, act more like Justice and do as it does....
Try not to ask yourself every time an unpleasant event occurs: 'Why is this happening to me' Everyone is presented with the lessons they need to learn and every event takes place for a reason. Try to draw a lesson from every less enjoyable or even unpleasant event or turn it into a positive experience. Why did this happen? What was your own part in this? What lesson can you learn from this? Today is a good day to think about this at length.
Stumbling blocks:
Try to judge everyone fairly and don't just go by what you see. Remain responsible at all times for what you do or have done in the past. You cannot simply blame the things that went wrong on someone else, because after all, you were there yourself. The truth always comes out, so it is better to learn to recognise that you yourself also handled certain things wrongly or allowed them to happen. And learn to do this differently in the future. Learn from your mistakes. Everyone makes them, that's not a bad thing. What is bad is shifting the responsibility and making the exact same mistake next time, because this way you will not make any progress. Especially today, this is something you should pay close attention to and learn to deal with.
Welfare:
If you are prone to rheumatic diseases or joint pain from other causes, this could be a day when you suffer from this. Keep drinking enough water/tea so that your body can get rid of all waste products optimally. Pay attention to your posture to avoid stiffness and (back) pain. Keep moving.
Career:
Stay honest and sincere. This is the only way you can move forward. Anyone who lies and/or cheats will always be judged for this sooner or later! Carry out your tasks as you are expected to, and in the unlikely event that something does go wrong, be honest about it and always take responsibility for what you did or did not do, causing a mistake. To err is human, and your honesty will be appreciated. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
You may be able to count on payment of certain compensation to which you are entitled. Think about possible tax refunds, allowances, grievances, damages, alimony, inheritance or other financial assets determined by law. You are probably wise today to have certain financial arrangements recorded on paper. When this card appears, you may soon be facing the law or court and you will be nowhere without written evidence.
Friendships/love:
He who does good, meets good. What goes around comes around, and it is true. Behave within friendships and relationships the way you would want the other person to behave towards you. Practice what you preach is also a great statement. Be fair, balanced and make sure that give and take are balanced. Generally, Justice as a day card means that harmony and balance can be expected, but in the literal sense, it can also refer to a court case, but one that will (usually) turn out in your favour. Provided you are fair.
Eye-opener of the day: Being honest with yourself and taking accountability for your actions is different from knowing what went wrong and still wondering where you deserved all this anyway.
Spell of the day: You can always do whatever you want. As long as you are willing to accept the consequences.
Remember:
- Bring balance into your life. Ensure that the things that are currently out of balance (relationship: give/take, emotions, feelings, etc.) are brought back into balance. You possess the qualities to work on this yourself and create balance in your life.
- Think carefully before making a decision. Look at the scales of Justice and use them to weigh everything against each other! What do you want and what do you definitely not want (anymore)!
- Learn to accept that everything that comes your way is necessary to learn a certain lesson. However unfair it may seem to you, learn to recognise the lessons and learn from them so that you are not presented with this lesson again at another time.
Do:
- Take responsibility for your own actions
- Be rational without switching off your feelings; balance!
- Be objective
- Take stock for yourself
- Be honest with yourself and others at all times
- Be fair
- Know the law of cause and effect
Remark:
With day card 11: Justice, there is also day card 2: the High Priestess. Read the description of day card 2, the High Priestess, at your leisure too, as this card shows you how to learn to be honest with yourself and make the right decisions today.
Tarot day card 12. The day of the Hanged One
Symbolism:
We see the Hanged Man hanging upside down, tied to a tree. He seems resigned to it and patiently waiting for someone to come along and free him. The time he spends waiting is better spent quietly contemplating everything and making new plans than forcibly trying to break free. This will not succeed but actually backfire, and instead of breaking free, he will only get further tangled up. Sacrifice some time to come to a better understanding. That is the message the Hanged One gives us. Rest, reflect and sacrifice something of yourself to eventually move forward.
Keywords:
Procrastinating, patient, sacrificing, changeable, indecisive, dreamy, planning, stagnant, suffering, sometimes full of self-pity.
Possible events today:
Today, you will have to sacrifice something of yourself to finally move forward. It will bring you more (inner) peace and give your life a whole new direction. A change in your way of thinking or adopting a new lifestyle will eventually bring you more insight and prosperity. You will probably encounter an obstacle in your path today that will cause you to delay or even temporarily stop, but take your time and wait. The right moment will present itself, and forcibly looking for ways to still realise your plans sooner will certainly only end in nothing today. It is just a waste of your energy. Delay certainly does not always have to mean postponement, only today it is better to be patient. Everything will be fine, it may just take some time. Your expectations and way of thinking are exposed to a reversal, and maybe that's a good thing? It might teach you to think differently and learn to act in a different way, which could well be beneficial. Maybe the delay makes you a bit insecure, but the best thing you can do now is to accept the delay. There is nothing you can change about it at the moment anyway, so just focus on something else for a while.
You:
On a personal level, today you should take on more traits of the Hanged One, behave more like the Hanged One and do as he does. Learn to conserve your strength and be patient. Look at the Hanged One on the map. He is hanging upside down, but makes no effort to break free. He remains calm, because he knows that if he were to twist himself into all sorts of twists and turns to try to get loose, it will probably be to no avail and he will only get tired. He takes advantage of this temporary lull to think carefully. Meanwhile, he waits for a passer-by to untie him. Do not take any action today to improve the situation, as this could only backfire. Try to look at the problems from a different angle and wait for a good opportunity to present itself automatically or for help to be offered. Don't tire yourself unnecessarily, but stay calm and reflect.
Stumbling blocks:
While waiting, try not to sulk, because negative thoughts (energy) also attract negative events. However, when you keep thinking positively, it actually attracts positive energy! Patience is a virtue, especially when you can remain hopeful of a good outcome. Literally letting your head hang will not help you. If you are hanging your head anyway, it is better to try looking at things from this side. Who knows what good and new insights this might bring about?
Welfare:
You may feel listless and/or depressed. Also, keep trying to see the positive things, otherwise your depressive feelings may also cause actual physical exhaustion.
Career:
Today, on the work front, you can expect quite a delay. Certain plans cannot (yet) be realised, a promotion does not materialise, you do not find a (new?) job, etc. The annoying thing is that there is nothing you can do to change this, except to accept the stagnation and quietly wait for the tide to turn and, in the meantime, learn to think differently. Learn to accept that stagnation and opposition are sometimes the only ways to gain more insight and see that some things just have to be different; especially at work! Maybe you yourself have been doing something wrong all along, or not handling something properly and this is only now becoming clear to you? You will see that - when you accept that now is simply not the time to implement your plans, and use the time you have to wait usefully to learn to look at things differently - the right moment will present itself automatically. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
Generosity is a beautiful thing, but be especially vigilant today that you do not sell yourself short and that others do not take advantage of your kindness or want to take advantage of you. If you need to enter into a certain agreement today, now is not the right time to put your signature to anything. If you still cannot get out of it, make sure you read everything very carefully first, especially the small print and hidden 'snags' in the text. Now is also not a good time for verbal agreements. Be careful who you confide in. Looseness can definitely work to your disadvantage now.
Friendships/love:
Like the Hanged One himself, you seem to be pretty stuck today. Perhaps you are involved in a relationship that you feel has completely stalled. Or on the contrary, you long desperately for a partner and are doing everything you can to find one, with all your efforts coming to nothing. Again, the Hanged One's advice is not to take any forced steps to improve the situation, but to accept that this is how it is for the moment, and learn to recognise what you yourself may not be handling quite right within the relationship. Or in finding a new partner. Do you yourself perhaps have unsympathetic habits that make your partner more distant, or did you yourself overlook certain irritating traits of your partner when you fell in love with him/her and have the very things you found so charming in the beginning now become a source of annoyance? And why? Do you perhaps spend too much time at the computer yourself and does your partner go out too often without you, so that you are growing apart? Do you want a partner too much, perhaps making you too claimy? Or talk about yourself too much with the intention of promoting yourself, but in doing so, achieve the very thing that makes the other person think you have no interest in him/her? Do you immediately throw your whole life story on the table during the first meeting, thereby scaring others away? Do you complain a lot about aches, pains and sores and does this perhaps cause irritation? Everyone has their good and bad sides that can trigger certain reactions in others. Being patient and spending your time thinking and learning can sometimes offer simple but very good solutions!
Eye-opener of the day: waiting patiently and looking at things from a different angle is different from hanging your head and (continuing to) see yourself as a victim.
Spell of the day: Realise that your view of the world around you is only based on your own truth.
Remember:
- Don't blow with all the winds to meet all expectations, you are doing yourself short by doing so.
- Learn to be patient and use a temporary standstill or respite to think about how things could be different instead of frantically looking for solutions immediately.
- Don't always pull everything towards you, but take a rest too.
Do:
- Dare to change your mind
- Use waiting time to think calmly
- Be patient
- Don't frantically try to come up with solutions
- See things from a different perspective
- Dare to let go so you can move forward again
- Don't get stuck in hopeless situations
- Delete the word 'self-pity' from your dictionary
Remark:
With day card 12: the Hanged One, there is also card 3: the Empress. Read the description of day card 3, the Empress, at your leisure too, because this card shows you how you can learn to be patient and wait for the right moment to reap the rewards of your previous efforts. Maybe not today, but surely soon if you spend this rest useful.
Tarot day card 13. Day of Death
Symbolism:
Here we see Death with his cape and his scythe to cut everything down. For many, a frightening sight. Yet this is only a symbolic card and not one that announces actual death. Symbolically, then, this card means: close the past and be open to a new beginning. Because Death does not only mean 'death', it also means: 'birth'. When something dies, something new is also born. When something disappears, something else takes its place. When one door is closed, another is opened. The disadvantage with this card Death is that one does not yet know what the new will be, and one therefore clings to the old familiar, even though one knows oneself that this old has also had its best days...
Keywords:
Ending, changing, transforming, liberating, separating, opening to new beginnings.
Possible events today:
Today you will have to start closing a certain chapter, a certain era, once and for all. If you don't do this, you won't give the new that will come your way any space to manifest and you won't be able to move forward. Don't hesitate any longer and dare to draw a bold line under the past and focus on the future. Learn to accept that certain things, as well as people, change and that nothing stays the same. An important event will cause your life to take a completely different turn and not infrequently it will also mean an end to problems or a difficult period. Today may present the right moment for a big clean-up: tidy up and start with a clean slate!
You:
On a personal level, today you need to take on more of Death's traits, behave more like Death and do as he does. Learn to let go of the old! Don't cling to something that should have been long gone from your life. This could be a relationship that has long since bled to death, a friendship with someone you no longer have anything in common with, an unpleasant job that no longer offers you any challenge or pleasure, etc. Don't hold on to what you have because you are afraid of what will come if you let it go. But this way, you deprive yourself of any chance to move forward in any field. Dare to let go and be open to new things, new people and shut out the past! You are really selling yourself short if you keep clinging to things that have long since ceased to be good for you and your development!
Stumbling blocks:
When something or someone threatens to disappear from your life, don't resist this, but try to accept it and resign yourself to the situation. When one door closes, another always opens. So something new is bound to replace it. But if you continue to resist the goodbye tooth and nail, you will hinder the new thing from coming your way. The goodbye will have to happen anyway, and if it can't be done amicably, chances are it will be done maliciously, which will probably cause you even more grief than if you had said goodbye voluntarily.
Welfare:
On a physical level, a particular problem, discomfort may be coming to an end precisely because this card is associated with liberation and renewal.
Career:
Chances are that the job is over for you, that it is time to look for something else. Again, accept it. The idea is not to rush headlong into something new, but to proceed with caution. At the moment, saying goodbye is more important than finding something new. This must be done properly so that you are not left with doubts or questions later. Only when the goodbye is neatly completed and you are also at peace with this can you be open to new possibilities. It is also possible that it is just a transition period, that you have finished doing certain work and new tasks are waiting for you within the same company. But whatever it is, you are ready for something new. And even if you don't like the idea of saying goodbye at all at the moment, try to be open to it. After all, a goodbye by no means always means that you will lose out. Sometimes even something better will take its place! If you are not working (at the moment), try to apply the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
You may need to watch out today. A major or important loss is lurking. This loss could be either related to your work, money or property. Beware of theft or thoughtless spending. In terms of contracts, a certain project or work is coming to an end. Yet this card also always represents something new that is imminent. So possibly it is time for saying goodbye to the old which allows you to be open to the new. Don't panic, sometimes a goodbye can ultimately work in your favour. And though the uncertain period leading up to it is not fun; it will work out. In fact, Death sometimes also heralds the end of financial problems.
Friendships/love:
Chances are that a friendship or relationship is coming to an end and you will have to say goodbye to each other for good today. Apparently, this friendship or relationship is not meant to continue any longer and it is high time to meet new people. Resign yourself to this and accept the goodbye and any accompanying sadness. It comes with the territory, but if you don't want to accept it and keep postponing the goodbye (unnecessarily), the sadness will only increase. It is better to let go of each other peacefully without arguments or recriminations back and forth. This will make the goodbye a lot more bearable than when a, nevertheless nice, period ends with angry looks and harsh words. This goodbye is inevitable, so why would you want to delay it and torment yourself with this any longer?
Eye-opener of the day: Closing the past and being open to the new is different from physically saying goodbye but mentally still being involved in the past every day and continuing to compare the new with the old.
Proverb of the day: Nothing is permanent. Time and again, we have to say goodbye to people, situations and dreams when we would rather cling to them.
Remember:
- Don't be afraid of new events and new contacts; even saying goodbye and starting again promotes your (spiritual) growth!
- All of life consists of endings and beginnings, one cannot exist without the other. Saying goodbye is part of it. Learn to understand and accept that.
- If you recognise the value of saying goodbye, you will naturally find that, over time, you will find it less and less difficult to close a certain period and be open to the new.
Do:
- Dare to exit the past!
- Get rid of things that are no longer needed
- Be open to change and innovation
- Stop clinging to things that are really over
- Break friendships and/or relationships when they really no longer add anything to your existence
Remark:
To day card 13: Death, also belongs card 4: the Emperor. Read the description of card 4, the Emperor, at your leisure too, because this card shows you how you can learn to take control (again) of the situation and of your own life today.
Tarot day card 14. The Day of Moderation
Symbolism:
The Angel of Moderation stands with one foot on land and one foot in water. In this way, she stays balanced. She pours the water from one goblet into the other showing that she is properly balanced. Moderation shows that it is good to do everything in moderation and that this helps her balance. With herself, but also with her environment.
Keywords:
Controlled, moderating, healing, peaceful, forgiving, balanced, stable, poised, calm.
Possible events today:
Today, it is very important for you to distribute your energy well and not do too much at once, but... don't sit still either. Try to keep your time, energy and activities as well as your income and expenses well balanced. When everything is well balanced, you will feel fine in your skin and have more peace of mind. You will find that things will go easier for you today. Try to relax yourself more and enjoy the things you do. It is important that you will finally unwind a little more today and feel better physically. Some calming down is no luxury.
You:
On a personal level, today you need to adopt more traits of the Moderation, behave more like the Moderation and do as he does. Learn to be content with everything you have, both in terms of health and materially. But also in terms of talents and aptitude for, say, making music, painting and studying. Don't focus on what someone else seems to have, but look at what you have and be happy with it! Count what you have, not what you lack! Try to create a certain peace in your life by doing everything in moderation. Don't waste strength by working or studying late into the night. Don't waste energy by focusing on several things at once, but try to specialise in one, at most two things and focus all your attention on this. The greater your chances of success in the end.
Stumbling blocks:
It is good to get in balance with yourself, to do everything in moderation and not to overdo it. Yet it is also very important to let yourself go every now and then. Too much of anything is not good, but having fun, eating sweets, going out and treating yourself is all right! As long as you enjoy it and don't constantly worry about being out of balance. Tomorrow is another day, and as long as you can really enjoy it and live nicely 'by the book' the next day, there is nothing wrong! Living too carefully is nothing to it either... Here too, you need to find the balance in neatly following the rules and enjoying some less responsible or permissible things. So don't think either, if you have properly balanced everything for a while, that you are already there. It is not only important to keep your commitment to rest and balance, but it is above all important to keep it that way. see for yourself whether today is a day to deny yourself certain things. Or not.
Welfare:
You are aware that it is time to bring more balance into your life. Do everything in moderation and be frugal with your time and energy. Delete unnecessary appointments here and there, both business and private, from your diary and pay a little more attention to your eating and sleeping patterns. Find the right balance between work, leisure, exercise, rest, sleep, food and drink.You will find that you will find a certain resting point when you do everything a bit more in moderation and bring a certain balance to your life. This card is traditionally a good harbinger in connection with health questions.
Career:
Don't rush anything. It's better to build everything bit by bit and keep growing, than to go hard all at once, give it your all and then stand still. It takes you much more time, energy and strength this way, and the final result is the same, the only difference being that if you start hard, you will be at the end of your rope in a few months. Whereas if you start more gently, in a few months you will still have strength and energy enough to keep going nicely and keep growing. Moderation indicates that you will have a great time at work today, and not least because you can do your work in your own way and at your own pace. This does not mean that you can be lazy or disinterested, but rather that you do not allow yourself to be rushed and decide for yourself when the moment is right to perform under pressure or to take it just a little easier. Alternate these moments responsibly and decide for yourself what is a good way for you to work today. Besides work, try not to overdo it. An overfull agenda is unnecessary, even when it comes to visiting friends, going out, etc. Again, you need to find the balance between working and relaxing. So enjoy your time off to the full, the better you will be when the working week starts again. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and in your relationships with others.
Finance:
Your income and expenses may be well balanced. Keep a close eye on your spending habits and occasionally put some money away for later. Then everything will stay well balanced. If you need to enter into a certain agreement today, you can count on good cooperation with others. You form a good team where one complements the other well.
Friendships/love:
Even in relationships and friendships, everything in moderation applies. It is better to focus on the handful of good friends who you know what to do with, than to spend a lot of time and energy on all kinds of vague (new) acquaintances. See for yourself what you find more important: paying attention to the people you have known for so long and with whom you feel familiar, or making appointments with all kinds of new people. Of course it is good to make new contacts and new friendships, but be selective. Try to find the right balance in this too, especially today. Be careful not to overload your agenda with all kinds of appointments today so that you barely have time for yourself or your partner. Be forgiving when someone wants to settle an argument or compromise. Because today is also an excellent day for reconciliation.
Eye-opener of the day: Taking rest and getting in balance with yourself is different from spending less time on work and other (social) commitments and meanwhile thinking what all you could have done if you had not taken rest.
Spell of the day: Live your life in a way that feels right for you and not in a way that others expect of you.
Remember:
- Live frugally and don't waste energy, power and money unnecessarily, and get enough rest!
- Be content with everything you have. Contentment and not being blinded by other people's possessions can bring you success and wealth sooner than you ever expected without realising it now. Contentment will always be rewarded; greed and jealousy will not!
- Moderation shows us that (self-)healing is possible. If you listen to your body, get enough rest, eat healthy and drink enough (water), you will find that you will continue to feel very good about yourself and heal and recover quickly after illness.
Do:
- Learn to have self-control
- Exhibits tolerance towards your environment
- Pay attention to your health (exercise, nutrition, rest)
- Take rest when you need it! (both physically and mentally)
- Be moderate with everything
- Ensure body and mind are in balance with each other
Remark:
With day card 14: the Moderation, there is also card 5: the High Priest. Read the description of card 5, the High Priest, at your leisure too, because this card shows you how you can learn to live a traditional life, where you will find the right balance. You can learn to possibly ask for help in finding the right balance. You may also be able to guide others yourself in bringing more balance into their lives. And indirectly, this will make you feel good yourself.
Tarot day card 15. The Day of the Devil
Symbolism:
The Devil has us in his grip... we think! The chains hanging around the necks of the Devil's servants are so wide that they could take them off over their heads at any time, but we don't do it. We choose to remain stuck in a certain pattern of life, we choose to let ourselves be dominated, we choose to hold on to certain thoughts and we choose to continue to feel guilty. In principle, we can walk away that way, towards freedom, but... do we want to? Or is it still easier to keep serving the Devil and just blame him for all the negativity around us that we note ourselves allowing into our lives?
Keywords:
Insecure, materially minded, doubtful, indecisive, limiting, influential, negative, controlling, addicted, trapped.
Possible events today:
Today, there is a danger of becoming unbalanced with yourself, losing your natural balance and indulging in everything that is actually not good for your physical and mental health. It could be food, drink, work, exercise, sex, drugs, etc. Everything that has "too" in front of it is not good. Being too preoccupied with material things, working too hard, holding on to thoughts that make you feel uncomfortable (such as guilt, jealousy, fear or possessiveness). Are you perhaps obsessed with something or someone, so that you are actually a slave to your own desires and do things that you know are not right, but you just can't help yourself? See what applies to you; today is a perfect time to let go, forgive yourself and set yourself free! Maybe it's not all that bad, but you are hanging out with someone (or several people?) who is a negative influence on you. Maybe you think you can't do without him/her, but nothing could be further from the truth. Today, take a closer look at your (bad) habits and ask yourself if you really can't live without them, or would you like to believe that you can't live without them? The same goes for the people around you: is there anyone among them who you know is a bad influence on you? Do you actually want to break free from this, but don't know how? Then remember that you cannot hold anyone else but yourself responsible for the choices you make.
You:
On a personal level, you should today none(!) taking on traits of the Devil's servants, you less(!) than the Devil's servants to behave and not(!) to do as they do. Don't blame others for your own thoughts and feelings that put you off. Everyone has good and not-so-good sides, that's human. Dare to listen to that voice inside you that says it's okay to be selfish, or addicted to cigarettes, booze or other stimulants, the voice that says it's okay to be impatient and intolerant, because... aren't we all! The voice that says you 'should' have sex every day? Or that you 'should' computer or 'should' watch TV? Do you feel fine with all these 'earthly pleasures', don't see all this as an addiction that bothers you, and don't harm anyone with this? Fine! However, if this does bother you yourself, do something about it. But... what does the voice say about the fact that you hang out with certain people who are a bad influence on you and... that you yourself allow this to happen? What does the voice say about letting your partner dominate and boss you around, and you allowing this yourself? Or about the fact that you still feel guilty for that one act and cannot forgive yourself? Are you yourself perhaps behaving in a dominant way towards someone and not having a sense of how much the other person suffers as a result?
Stumbling blocks:
Beware - when this card may be a bit confrontational for you - of denying very harshly what applies to you, leaving you even more stuck in your old pattern of thinking or living. Dare to see that something is not quite right, that perhaps you are (rightly or wrongly) afraid of something, jealous of something or addicted to something. Above all, be honest with yourself. The rest will come later. When you dare to be honest with yourself, little by little you will also dare to tell the truth to others and perhaps you will dare to detach yourself from this or that person, or even overcome an addiction! The Devil as a day card gives you encouragement and shows you that you might succeed today in freeing yourself from one thing or another. Or at least take the first step. Provided you dare to see it for yourself and remain honest with yourself.
Welfare:
You are aware that something or someone has control over you. Do you allow this yourself and, if so, why? Sometimes we think we can't get rid of something or someone, when we can't. See for yourself what or who makes you feel emotionally trapped, intimidated or oppressed and what you think you cannot do without and, if necessary, ask for help to solve this problem. It is also possible that you are dependent on certain stimulants such as coffee, nicotine, and sometimes in worse cases certain types of drugs or alcohol. This card can also relate to other addictions like gambling, computing, gaming, sex, food or a certain mindset that affects your daily life (negatively?). Or even to a person you don't want to lose control over. Whatever it is; today is the time to take the first step to start working on it.
Career:
This is not the appropriate day to simply confide in people. Scammers, liars and profiteers lurk. Try not to take up a particular offer too eagerly, but first investigate whether what they claim is true and whether they can deliver on the promises they make. Do not be influenced by those with smooth talk and nice promises. A greedy attitude will win you over, as will selfishness. Be open to people who have your best interests at heart and want to warn you about those who might want to use you or take advantage of you. The Devil as a day card holds an important warning: keep your eyes peeled and be careful who you confide in. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
Possibly you are very fond of money or perhaps even the power that often comes with material wealth. Today, try to learn to recognise that other things can be much more important. If you don't agree with this description, this description possibly refers to someone around you who is trying to blackmail you, bribe you or in some other (negative) way keep control over your financial situation that makes you feel bound and hindered. Sometimes there is talk of gambling, debt and/or debt relief when this card appears. Either way, this card is not a good harbinger where finances are concerned. If you need to enter into a certain agreement today, chances are that someone is trying to cheat you by lying to you and promising golden mountains. Or are you the one trying this on the other person? If not, keep your eyes peeled and don't get talked out of it. There is questionable business, deception or even fraud.
Friendships/love:
Today, you would be wise to have a think about your relationship and/or certain friendships. The Devil shows that something is clearly not right and involves someone using someone else, a friendship being 'bought', a friendship or relationship suffering from jealousy and/or possessiveness, someone lying to you or having a wrong influence on you. Perhaps you fear that - if you say something about it - the person in question will let you down, but... so what? Can you really do without him/her? Does he/she give you something you think you need and therefore you take his/her behaviour towards you at face value? Are you dependent on someone or is someone dependent on you? Do you keep coming to someone out of a sense of duty and actually want to get rid of this? Why do you think you can't do this? The Devil is never a good sign; think about that today. Is it someone close to you who is jealous and possessive, or... is it maybe you yourself?
Eye-opener of the day: Freeing yourself from something or someone and severing contact with the person who restricts you is different from fleeing and continuing to anxiously avoid the person in question for the rest of your life.
Spell of the day: Accept that you too have lower drives, needs, thoughts or desires and don't project them onto others.
Remember:
- Think about your current situation, what or who do you depend on, or think you depend on? How do you break free from it? If you wish, ask for outside help: for example, a friend, a doctor, therapist or lawyer.
- Don't let your fears or insecurities hold you back and don't let yourself be treated as a possession or a puppet!
- Detach yourself from individuals who think they can control your life and bring you down in a derogatory and demeaning manner. Do not allow anyone to treat you like this. Those who do not respect themselves will not get it from others!
Do:
- Rid yourself of obligations that are not a good influence on you
- Free yourself from an awkward situation, it can be done!
- Remain independent and self-sufficient at all times
- Stop bad habits
- Use your sense of humour
- Do not be materialistic or dependent on other earthly pleasures (sex, pleasures, money, etc.)
- Do not despair!
- Don't feel guilty!
Remark:
With day card 15, the Devil, there is also card 6: the Beloved. Read through the description of card 6, the Beloved, at your leisure too, because this card shows you how to learn to be honest with yourself and how to make the right decisions today, because it is clear that you are facing an important choice.
Tarot day card 16. Tower day
Symbolism:
Lightning has struck the Tower! Totally unexpectedly, disaster strikes; people fall down, there is nothing they can do about it, they just have to let it happen and wait and see what comes next. But... one piece of luck: only the top of the Tower is on fire. The rest of the Tower is still standing; the foundation is still intact. This means that they can now start rebuilding the Tower bit by bit, and it will probably become even more beautiful and sturdy than before.
Keywords:
Crisis, changing, transforming, confronting, combative, chaotic, worrisome, exasperating, destructive, revolutionary.
Possible events today:
Today you can count on an unexpected event that will turn everything upside down. Usually, this is an event that seems negative at first, but then brings completely new insights to you, causes you to see certain things/people differently and gives you the chance to start all over again. At first, you might get scared, angry or sad, or all at once, but afterwards you will be glad it happened. With the Tower as a day card, it is almost always the case that the setback you face has a reason, a purpose. Think of it as a liberation, a chance to start again. If this (unexpected) event had not occurred, you would very likely have put off the letting go process in question and would probably have had a much harder time saying goodbye in the longer term.
You:
On a personal level today, you should adopt more traits of the residents of the Tower, behave more like the residents of the Tower and do as they do. Learn to recognise in time when a certain period is coming to an end and be one step ahead of the goodbye! When you try to stretch what is actually already 'done' against your better judgment, something may suddenly happen, a major setback occurs or something comes to an abrupt end at a time when you don't expect it, to force you to say goodbye as yet. Chances are this moment is going to happen today. Also learn not to throw in the towel when something happens that you did not expect at all and which you experience as very unpleasant, maybe even disastrous. Chances are, afterwards you will even be relieved and glad it happened, otherwise you would never have broken free from a particular person or dared to free yourself from an unpleasant relationship, friendship or boring job. An unexpected event, to or not to, never just happens. Always remember: after rain comes sunshine, I just have to get through this before the weather gets better. With such an attitude, you will overcome even the biggest disappointment.
Stumbling blocks:
When an unexpected event occurs that clearly makes you realise it is time to draw a line under something, say goodbye and start again, you may be completely upset and/or panic. After all, you don't want to say goodbye or draw a line under something, so you might keep trying to leave things as they are against your better judgment. But the Tower appears in your path for a reason. That which has suddenly stopped (a contract suddenly not being renewed, your partner wanting to break off the relationship at an unexpected moment, financial loss, etc.) no longer suits you or your development at this moment. It is time to take a new path, so try not to panic, but to accept the loss, break-up or goodbye and recognise that it is actually better to call it a day. Then start again with fresh courage, and you will come out stronger!
Welfare:
You are aware that an unexpected event has caused, or will soon cause, you to gain more insight into a particular situation. Sometimes this card represents a startle reaction, which later provides a sense of relief. Whatever the scare triggered, you can rest assured that you will come out of it stronger. Absolutely don't get down on yourself. You might be gloomy or even really depressed. This can affect your health in a negative way. Try to get to the root of the problem and remember that there is definitely plenty to go on for. After every winter, no matter how long, spring always follows in the end....
Career:
If today you are suddenly faced with an unexpected event that is negative for you, such as the termination of your contract, a reorganisation or another situation that means you can no longer do your current job, or even have to look for another job, don't panic. If it hadn't happened now, it would have happened at another time. It had been coming for some time; only you were not yet aware of it. Or you were afraid to take certain steps. For every unexpected change, accept it and try to see that it doesn't just happen. Every event has a reason. Try to understand what, for you, is the reason for this unexpected event. You might even end up seeing it as a liberation in retrospect! If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
You may be in for an unpleasant surprise involving a loss. Try to cover yourself as best you can. Furthermore, it is unavoidable and you will have to let things happen to you. Don't worry too much. Often the Tower goes hand in hand with a feeling of relief and liberation. Even if it is a bit of a shock in the beginning, you will get better in the end provided you don't throw in the towel. If you need to enter into a certain agreement today, you may be facing a financial setback. If you can avoid this by not putting your signature to anything, the advice is: don't do any business or enter into any agreements right now.
Friendships/love:
In friendships and/or relationships, the Tower as a day card means that an unexpected event can cause a friendship or relationship to end suddenly. Perhaps the rupture had been imminent for some time, but it suddenly escalates because of a small thing, throwing out all the irritations and frustrations from the past in one go, like a kind of volcanic eruption that had been threatening for a long time. Perhaps you can still avoid a permanent break-up by talking about it calmly together, giving you both a chance to express your displeasure towards each other in a mature manner. Or this way, you can end a friendship or relationship in a normal way without too many arguments and recriminations back and forth.
Eye-opener of the day: Accepting an unexpected goodbye and recognising that it may have been necessary to start again is different from resigning yourself to an unexpected event and then doing nothing with it.
Spell of the day: What you took for granted as safe and secure turns out to be nothing more than a prison standing in the way of your further developments.
Remember:
- Be prepared to rebuild everything that has collapsed with a positive attitude.
- Never lose heart; some unpleasant events are sometimes necessary to eventually move forward. Sometimes an unexpected break-up afterwards is the best thing that could ever happen to you, because otherwise you would have missed out on a lot of good things.
- Accept every goodbye, even if it comes at a totally unexpected time and you don't think you are ready for it. Let it happen and consider that maybe this is best for you after all, because otherwise you would never have had the courage to start over yourself.
Do:
- Don't give up
- See setbacks as learning moments!
- Dare to let go of old situations, otherwise something may happen that does require you to let go.
- Look not only at that which is lost, but also at what you still have
- Dare to let go of old ways of living and thinking
Remark:
With day card 16: the Tower, there is also card 7: the Sea Chariot. Read through the description of card 7, the Chariot of the Sea, at your leisure, because this card will show you how to learn to overcome an unexpected setback and how to start again, so that you learn from it, become stronger and still achieve your goal.
Tarot day card 17. Star day
Symbolism:
The Goddess under the Star holds two chalices. One chalice catches water coming from the river, the other passes it directly back to the earth where the grass begins to grow and the flowers begin to bloom. It flows and flows, the goblets never empty. What she receives she immediately passes on again, and so should we. With love, with knowledge, with good ideas, caring. All the good things we receive we should pass on to others. Only in this way will the world around us get better little by little. Not only for the people around us, but especially for ourselves, because he who does good, meets good!
Keywords:
Hopeful, confident, optimistic, open, satisfied, innovative, inspiring, generous, original, bright, positive.
Possible events today:
The Star is a beautiful card that you really have nothing to worry about today. The Star is a harbinger of prosperity, calmness, inner peace, happiness and hope. After a more difficult period, things are finally getting better and you even get the chance today to start implementing possible plans that could be a great start to good developments in the future. Be optimistic and start working on new ideas; this is a great time for it. The Star is a source of peace and strength, it gives and has a positive influence on other people. Your efforts will also be rewarded as a result and you can even expect help from an unexpected source. He who does good, meets good, says the Star: you will receive what you give. But today the Star is also very likely to have a good influence on health, love, new opportunities and expanding your own horizons!
You:
On a personal level, today you should take on more qualities of the Star, behave more like the Star and do as she does. Above all, learn today to be selfless in life. Try to recognise that giving is often more fun than receiving. Don't be calculating when you give something, nor immediately assume that you will get something back next time from the person you gave something to. Life is not a barter; you will learn that - when you give something away and don't get something back for this immediately from the person to whom you gave something - you can still have a good feeling! After all, why do you give? To get something in return or because it gives you a sense of satisfaction? In the latter case, surely it is then not important at all whether you get something back or not. Selflessness is always rewarded and you will find that if you are generous and loving in life, sooner or later all your dreams will come true by themselves. Believe in yourself, and in your dreams.
Stumbling blocks:
Today, things are looking very good for you and this will also make you feel fine, both physically and mentally. You are in a great mood and as a result you are more open to other people. You are helpful, generous and happy to let others share in your success. The only danger in this is the fact that, unfortunately, there are also people with whom things are not going so well today and these individuals may try to take advantage of your goodness. Therefore, try to keep a close eye on who you give something to, whether this person is really worth your gift, or whether they are just taking advantage of you. Be helpful, but remember that your own energy does not come from a bottomless pit either. It is good to want to help others solve their problems, or offer a listening ear, but beware of wasting your own energy in doing so. You go to visit someone who is sad or has problems, cheerful and rested. He or she is depressed and tired, but when you go home again in the evening, you feel a bit down and tired. In contrast, the person you have been talking to is happier and, on the contrary, not tired at all. He or she probably needed energy and took it away from you! If you feel you are getting tired while listening to someone, who is probably drawing your energy away from you during the conversation, place a large glass plate between yourself and the person sitting opposite you, or cross your legs and cross your arms. This way, you are less 'open' and protect yourself from energy draining away. Feel free to say 'no' if someone invites you, even if you know in advance that they will probably talk about themselves all evening and you don't feel like it. Saying 'no' once does not make you a bad person! It's okay to think about yourself a little more often. And especially today under the influence of the Star.
Welfare:
You are aware of the fact that hope makes you live and your plans will not succeed without keeping positive thinking and hope. Keep believing in your ideals and one day in the future, you will be able to make your dreams come true! Possibly you are feeling good today and in case you had some health complaints, most probably an improvement in the situation is occurring and will continue.
Career:
Believe in your dreams and don't settle for less. When you really want something, you will be able to achieve it, and today is not a day to compromise. Be creative, have faith in your own abilities and keep pursuing your goal. Try to make your dream come true: chances are you will succeed or at least take a good first step today! Also feel free to take a risk if you get the chance to invest in your ideal. Little can go wrong today, as long as you keep believing in yourself. Are you offered a job that pays well, but you still feel that it doesn't really suit you? Then feel free to say 'no' too. What use is a badan that pays well but to which you go every day with lead in your shoes? Believe in your dreams; where there is a will, there is a way, especially with the Star as your day card! If you are not (currently) working, try applying the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
You may be able to end a difficult period financially today and things will look a lot brighter for the future. As this card is also associated with creativity and spirituality, it might be fun to make a particular hobby or hobby your (part-time?) work. Are you good at photography, dancing, singing, making music, painting, drawing, modelling, pottery, tattooing, sewing, embroidery, knitting, writing, creating websites, tarot reading, horoscopes, commuting, casting runes, consulting oracle cards, etc? Do something with it, now is the right time! Probably now is the right time to enter into a business deal. Success is to be expected. Maybe not immediately, but this project has good future prospects.
Friendships/love:
Today is in the sign of the Star, which means it will be a great day in all aspects, including friendships and relationships. What you can expect is: new encounters, attraction, excitement and excitement or an improvement in your current relationship. The Star is selfless, reliable, optimistic, full of joy and hope. Today, everyone will be happy to be in your company.
Eye-opener of the day: Having a positive attitude and offering others your selfless help is different from being naive and letting others take advantage of your goodness.
Proverb of the day: Not what you only look for, but what you truly believe in; you will find that!
Remember:
- Use your knowledge to teach others what you know. Pass on everything you receive, including love, hospitality and understanding, and rise above envious people, dishonesty and gossip.
- Have faith in the future. Very likely, your dreams will come true and you will be able to enjoy what you are currently trying to realise far into the future.
- Be generous and give selflessly, but not to individuals who abuse your kindness and do nothing themselves to improve their position.
Do:
- Keep hope
- Use your creativity in every possible way
- Dare to give without demanding anything in return
- Open your heart
- Meditate or undertake other spiritual activities
Remark:
With day card 17, the Star, there is also card 8: the Power. Read through the description of card 8, the Power, at your leisure: this card shows you how to realise your dreams by seizing your opportunity at the right moment and believing in yourself.
Tarot day card 17. Moon day
Symbolism:
The Moon is high in the sky, but the wolf and the dog are anxious. The Moon represents our subconscious, which we can only reach in dreams. The road shown on the map leads far into the mountains, but we do not know where it leads. So we have to follow our feelings and listen to our intuition whether it is right to take this road. In our dreams, we also often encounter our unprocessed sorrows, our fears, as well as the beautiful things we silently wish for. Yet the Moon is usually associated with the dark side of our subconscious. The side where we have hidden our sorrows and fears, our not so nice experiences. The more we keep running away from our fears, the longer they will continue to haunt us. In our dreams, but also outside them. Accept the fears and insecurities and dare to confront them, (including unpleasant experiences from the past). The sooner your fears will disappear!
Keywords:
Intuitive, emotional, clairvoyant, imaginative, depressed, insecure, sensitive, helpful, dreamy, indecisive, deceptive, fearful of the unknown.
Possible events today:
The Moon represents illusion, fear and uncertainty, problems that need to be resolved before moving forward. So today some things need to be addressed. The Moon shows that there are certain fears and/or insecurities stored deep inside, which come to the surface during sleep, sometimes causing you to have bad dreams. Perhaps in your childhood or shortly afterwards, you experienced something nasty, saw something bad or were very scared. And you have hidden certain feelings and/or emotions very deeply. Maybe somewhere deep inside you there is still a lot of unprocessed sadness. You have hidden it so deeply that you don't even know where it is anymore, but it is still there! Acknowledge your fears and insecurities today and confront them; this is the only way to finally deal with them. The only way to overcome fear is to accept that you have fear instead of masking or hiding your fear by pretending otherwise. There is no need to feel ashamed: everyone has fears and insecurities. Dare to be afraid, the sooner you will be able to overcome your fear so that you are no longer hindered or blocked by it. The Moon also represents intuition, so today, even more than usual, dare to follow your feelings. If you don't trust something, listen to that little voice inside; chances are you're right, because the Moon also represents deception and illusion. So that too is something you should take into account today.
You:
On a personal level, you need to adopt more of the Moon's attributes today, behave more like the Moon and do as she does. Learn to listen better to the voice within yourself, your own intuition. Also learn to understand what your dreams are trying to tell you. Some dreams contain messages, but you need to learn to recognise them as such. When you learn to listen to your own intuition, understand visions and are open to spontaneous inspirations, you will effortlessly find your way in the dark, lit only by the glow of the moon, and walk without fear. After all, you will be warned in time by your own inner voice when danger threatens. What is especially important now is that you learn to process unpleasant events from your past (a difficult childhood, the loss of a loved one, a serious accident, a violent incident, etc.) instead of constantly hiding them away, otherwise you will not make any progress. From today onwards, learn to process old hurts instead of constantly pushing them away, confronting them time and again in your dreams, disrupting or even blocking your own intuition.
Stumbling blocks:
Get to grips with your fears and insecurities today. If you are willing to get to know and understand yourself better, don't try to escape into a dream world. Beware of drugs and alcohol and keep both feet on the ground when working with your spiritual side. It is good to learn to trust your intuition, but there is a danger that you might become a little too suspicious or floaty and start looking for something behind everything, which might make you a bit paranoid. Try to find the golden mean between not blindly trusting everyone and distrusting everything and everyone. Be open to the spiritual, but beware of floating. After all, we still live here, on earth. So we need to make sure we can function well here. A little help from the Divine, from the paranormal world, the spiritual, is good, but don't strike out completely. When you think you feel a 'presence', first check if a window is open somewhere and if the light goes on and off, check the light first. Also, stay realistic.
Welfare:
You are aware of the fact that certain problems or fears from the past can sometimes bother you (again) today and that it is time to face these fears and insecurities. Confront them instead of running away from them. Gather all your courage and try to see that the fear of the fear is much worse than the problem itself. Don't let others mislead you in this. With the Moon around, nothing is what it seems. You either create illusions yourself or someone else does. Finally take the step you have wanted to take for so long, never really dared. Fears, insecurities, phobias can also play tricks on you on a physical level because after all, body and mind are inseparable and fear can really make you ill. Bond anxiety, fear of making choices, or fear of the unknown also occurs when the Moon appears. Make sure this doesn't make you lose your stability and become unstable with all its consequences. Listen to your feelings, your intuition will tell you what is best to do now or not to do. If necessary, ask for help while confronting your (unconscious?) fears. On a physical level, (pre) menstrual complaints or problems with the reproductive organs may play a role today.
Career:
In your work today, you might also be anxious. Fear of failure, insecurity, exam anxiety or not trusting your colleagues. Try not to avoid certain situations, but rise to the challenge! Perhaps the fear of the unknown is greater than the fear of failure. Therefore, confront your own fears and insecurities precisely so that you can find out that jumping into the unknown can also turn out to be a positive thing! Yet today is not the right time to make important decisions or serious plans for the future. Instead, today it is important to listen a lot to your own feelings, your inner self, your own dreams and visions. Try out different things, including those you are uncertain about or afraid of. And make a decision later. But every challenge you face today is the first step towards a more certain future and every victory is one! If you are not (currently) working, try applying the above advice in your daily life and when dealing with others.
Finance:
You may still have something lying around the house or shed that you could sell for a good amount. Problems from the past may have piled up over time so that you are now in considerable financial difficulty. Sometimes this card also represents deception. If you can't imagine cheating others yourself, watch out for people around you. It is possible that someone is targeting you and trying to dishonestly extract money from your pockets today. All in all, a good time to put your affairs in order, consider what you should and should not spend your money on and who can or cannot be trusted. If you need to enter into a certain deal today, chances are that someone is trying to trick you. There will be lies, half-truths, deception or even (indirect) theft. Don't sign anything. (Unless you are the deceiver yourself and have no problem with this)
Friendships/love:
Don't let an ear be twisted in friendships and/or your relationship today. Remember that the Moon also stands for deception, illusion, dishonesty and forethought. Follow your gut and trust your intuition if it tells you to distrust someone close to you. Also guard against jealousy and superficiality within your relationship. Today is a day when fear of the unknown reigns supreme, so beginning relationships may suffer from commitment anxiety or other insecurities. Do not try to force anything, but instead take some time out to think things over and sort things out for yourself.
Eye-opener of the day: Being open to what your own inner voice is telling you and being wary of deception is different from going through life floating where you lose sight of reality and are suspicious of everything.
Spell of the day: During your inner journey, be prepared for encounters with both helpful angels and unpredictable demons. Don't run away from them but deal with them appropriately so that you can actually complete the journey.
Remember:
- Many fears are based on past experiences. Process your old sadness, go to therapy if necessary, but give it a place and don't constantly put it away. Soon the fear will have grown so big or the sadness will be so deep that you won't be able to reach it yourself. This way, it will continue to grow and fester deep in your subconscious, and remain a problem for the rest of your life. In this way, it blocks both your own functioning and your friendships and/or relationships.
- Keep both feet on the ground and don't get carried away by your own imagination. Don't look for a message or omen behind everything you dream, but stay realistic. Intuitive is different from floaty.
- Listen to your intuition and back off if you really feel that something or someone cannot be trusted.
Do:
- Don't kid yourself
- Confront your fear instead of running away from it
- Pay attention to your dreams, they contain messages for you!
- Develop your intuitive abilities
- Don't be too floaty, keep both feet on the ground despite spiritual pursuits
- Keep positive thinking, avoid depression
- Look around you carefully; who can be trusted and who cannot?
Remark:
With day card 18: the Moon, there is also card 9: the Hermit. Read the description of card 9, the Hermit, at your leisure too, because this card will show you how to further your spiritual development and get to know yourself better, so that you can accept and eventually overcome your fears and insecurities.
Tarot day card 19. The day of the Sun
Symbolism:
The child riding naked on the horse stands for confidence, the red sash for enthusiasm and the Sun for positivity. Growth, new developments, new ideas and optimism. A delightful card that does not possess a single negative aspect!
Keywords:
Understanding, warm, optimistic, content, happy, creative, open-hearted, energetic, full of life, happy, liberating, friendly, positive.
Possible events today:
With the Sun as a day card, you are in the right place: positivity, optimism, happiness, warmth, love and health. What more could you want? With the warm energy of the Sun today, you can count on more self-insight, self-confidence and possibly discover the sunny side of your own personality. Good news, success, growth and renewal are to be expected on Sun Day. You might even make plans for a wonderful, sunny holiday or symbolically one that brings you contentment and joy. The Sun is a true bringer of happiness. Whatever it is that you would like: today is the chance to make your dreams come true!
You:
On a personal level, you should take on more of the Sun's traits today, behave more like the Sun and do as it does. Learn to stay positive, be optimistic, even if things are sometimes tough. Positive thoughts also attract positivity, so the more positive you are in life, the more positive events you will encounter on your path. Dare to have faith not only in the future, but also in yourself! Enjoy life and believe that everything will work out. Take initiatives and pursue your goal. The child on the card also represents your own inner child. Open up and trust the way children do so well. Dare to be a child yourself again for a while and enjoy the things you enjoyed so much as a child. (certain books, films, pastimes, etc). If you have children, this is a perfect day to do something extra fun with them.
Stumbling blocks:
The only thing to watch out for today is that you don't demand too much of yourself. When everything seems to be going well, there is a danger of becoming overconfident and taking unnecessary risks or physically overextending yourself. When everything is going well, make sure it stays that way. Accept that you are just doing well today, cherish it and, above all, don't analyse it too much. You might wonder: things are going so well now, when will the big setback come? Isn't it going too well? What is the price I have to pay for this? No, no, no... you've worked hard enough, done your best, and this is 'just' your reward! Enjoy all the beauty around you, above all, don't worry and enjoy life! Of course, you are not supposed to become complacent. The fact that things are going well for you now does not mean that they will automatically always stay that way. This is a reward for your own efforts of late, a sign that you are doing well, but if you become lazy or even somewhat lazy, you will soon notice the turnaround. Cherish what you have now and don't forget how you got it! It is not a present, but a reward!
Welfare:
You are aware of the fact that you feel good about yourself. That when you radiate positivity, you get it back! Keep enjoying all the beauty around you and more good things will come your way.
Possibly there is enthusiasm which increases your life force, makes you feel energetic and healthy. Both mentally and physically you are in good shape and....sometimes this card even represents fertility! If you would like to have a baby, today is a good day to take action for this, if you don't want to, be careful.
Career:
The Sun indicates that you will enjoy your work today. Creativity and implementing your ideas are definitely among the possibilities. The atmosphere at work will be good and any obstacles can definitely be overcome. Convey your plans convincingly, enthusiastically and remain optimistic at all times. Positive thinking and a positive attitude will take you further than stressfully chasing your plans and forcibly creating opportunities. It is better to be tidy, cheerful and benevolent without too many qualifications in your pocket, than a sourpuss who has passed all possible papers. In the work environment, the right attitude towards others is very important! The Sun as a day card also represents knowledge, innovation and luck in gambling! If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and in dealing with others.
Finance:
Possibly you are in good financial shape today. Everything seems to be in the cards and you may even be lucky in the game. If you like it and can afford it, a gamble in the casino or on the stock market might be a fun (and profitable?) pastime. If you need to enter into a particular deal today, it is likely to work out very positively for you. There is also a chance of a good honest partnership where one can achieve profit and progress in an enjoyable way.
Friendships/love:
The Sun indicates an excellent love life and stands for mutual understanding and respect, cheerfulness, warmth and again: positivity! Radiate like the Sun and you will get back what you give: love, light, warmth, kindness, humour and cheerfulness. For those who wish for children, this card is a good omen! Marriage is also a possibility.
Eye-opener of the day: Staying optimistic and having a positive attitude is different from letting everyone blindly trust others drain your energy.
Spell of the day: Everything is here and now. All you have to do is accept it!
Remember:
- You possess a lot of strength and energy, enabling you to realise your most beautiful dreams. Believe in your own ability, in the positivity you exude and attract, and pursue your goal! With patience and good hope, you will come a long way!
- A positive attitude, enthusiasm, creativity and spontaneity make a person attractive. Unfortunately, even for persons who do not possess these traits themselves and see you as a 'source' to refuel themselves with. Beware of being drained by pessimistic and negative-minded people every time. Because then your beautiful full rays of sunshine will quickly turn into a skinny sun that needs a lot of rest to be able to grow a little again yourself.
- Success and prosperity are your portion and you owe this mostly to yourself. Your own way of thinking and your own positive attitude have brought you this far, but... stay grateful for everything you have and keep working to maintain it all. Standing still is going backwards and laziness is punished. Nothing can be taken for granted...
Do:
- Remain optimistic at all times
- Be creative
- Keep working on your happiness; stagnation is regression and nothing can be taken for granted!
- Focus on your relationship, family life and/or children
- Seek out the sun!
Remark:
With day card 19: the Sun, there is also card 10: The Wheel of Fortune. Read the description of card 10, the Wheel of Fortune, at your leisure as well, because this card shows you how you can learn to make sure things will continue to go as well as they are now and how you can determine your own Destiny. Card 1, the Magician, also belongs in this list.
Tarot daily card 20. Judgement day
Symbolism:
The Judgement is often depicted as beings awakened by an angel playing a flute. They rise from their coffins. Liberation. One is freed from an unpleasant situation, from uncertainty, but it does not mean an end, rather transformation. One continues on another (and better!) level. Something is revived, perhaps a relationship that had gone down the drain, a job that was starting to get boring, etc. It is certainly not Judgement Day, but rather a new opportunity! Don't turn Judgement into prejudice and dare to tell others what is on your mind. Only this can make uncertainty disappear, because action demands reaction and a good conversation works wonders. This way, you both know where you stand and you can interact in a better way.
Keywords:
Liberating, cathartic, forgiving, empowering, innovative, overcoming obstacles.
Possible events today:
Today you can expect a significant change for the better. Were you perhaps caught up in a nasty situation, or did you feel uncomfortable in a relationship or job; today there will be a release. A change for the better. Judgement does not represent closure, but change of the existing. So your relationship may become more enjoyable thanks to a good (and especially honest!) conversation, your job may become more interesting thanks to expansion of your position or transfer to another department, change of location, etc. The Judgement always points to a new opportunity, reviving something that had dormant. Judgement as a day card represents a reward, new opportunities or picking up where you left off after a break or breather. This is a perfect time to finally voice your displeasure and have an adult discussion with the person (friend, girlfriend, partner, etc.) to whom you have long wanted to say what is bothering you. The rapport between the two of you will improve.
You:
On a personal level, today you need to take on more attributes of Judgement, behave more like Judgement and act like it. Dare to be open and honest to those you work or live with. It does no one any good if you bottle up your annoyances or dissatisfactions, especially yourself. Don't act, but be frank and stop avoiding confrontation. When there is no communication within a relationship, the family, friendships or between colleagues, the relationship or collaboration is doomed to fail. Don't be afraid of being laughed at or rejected. Someone who dares to express their feelings and say honestly what they think is more likely to be appreciated and respected, and often they will actually be grateful that you threw the ball up because they did not dare to do so themselves. With the initial impetus of a good conversation, nine out of 10 problems can be solved and your rapport with others will improve significantly. The contact will be revived, you will be freed from a situation of misunderstanding and uncertainty. Be clear and follow your feelings in doing so.
Stumbling blocks:
Make sure you are truly honest with those around you. Really communicating is not always easy; having an open attitude and chatting with everyone is not the same as really communicating. One can talk a lot but say nothing, whereas in today, it is very important to really communicate with those who are important to you and with whom you would like to improve relations.
Welfare:
You are aware that you are ready for a fresh start. You experience a sense of liberation, as if you can move on at a better level after all you have done and learnt. Stay open to new lessons, but with a better understanding. Difficult periods can now be put behind you because you have gained both more (self) insight and more insight into others and are now ready for a new and better beginning You may experience a sense of a figurative 'rebirth'. As if you are developing a 'new you'. You are the same, with the same foundation, but with better physical fitness and mental well-being. Balance seems to have been found today and you can take advantage of it now!
Career:
Today, feel free to speak up openly and honestly and express your own plans. Show clearly how you feel about your colleagues, and feel free to give constructive criticism. When doing so, do not forget to recognise and mention your own shortcomings. Criticism alone is usually not appreciated, but having a conversation in which you also freely admit your own mistakes will have a positive effect on the working atmosphere. Honesty is the best policy, so don't do things that are not part of your job description and that you don't really feel like doing. Don't make excuses, but be honest and calmly explain why you don't feel like it. If you make an excuse, people will approach you again next time for the same job in between or ask you if you feel like working overtime, etc. Honesty is appreciated, provided you bring it calmly. You will notice.
Finance:
There may be an improvement in your current financial situation. Perhaps there will be a new opportunity given to you, a reward for your commitment or extra allowances/premiums as a result of your own efforts. It is likely that an expiring contract will be extended or even converted into a permanent position. In other areas (e.g. leases), this card may foreshadow a change in certain laws or agreements favourable to you, allowing you to end an uncertain period and resolve problems
Friendships/love:
Today, it is quite possible that you will revive your relationship and have a good conversation with each other, clarifying what you both expect from this relationship and from each other. It is also possible that you enter into a relationship (again) with an ex-lover and that from today onwards things will work out better than the last time you were together. What does remain important with Judgement as the day card: communicate and be honest with each other. Don't make your heart a murder pit, say honestly what you don't like within this relationship and also feel free to say what behaviour you don't like from your partner. Don't you like the fact that he/she spends nights at the PC or often comes home drunk? Would you like to do something together more often or have more time for yourself and your friends? Discuss everything, even your sex life; can anything be changed or improved? How. Talk about it, ask how he/she experiences things and give your own opinion too. Look not only at the other person's shortcomings, but also at your own! It will improve the relationship and your love for each other will grow! For friendships, an old friendship can be revived today, or a date can be made with someone you haven't seen for a while. Talk out any problems in a calm and mature way. New opportunities, new rounds with Judgement as a day card!
Eye-opener of the day: Coming clean is different from having a monologue and in the process drowning the other person in accusations in which you yourself remain unaffected.
Spell of the day: Start today with a clean slate, figuratively write down your new goals and rules of life, setting your own limits and direction in the process.
Remember;
- Be honest about what you are thinking and feeling, and talk about it with the person to whom these feelings and thoughts apply. This is the only way to end uncertainty and clear up misunderstandings.
- Clear up old problems first to move on. Confess long-held secrets to your partner or friend and start with a clean slate. You will not be judged, but rather appreciated more as a friend for your honesty.
- Be clear about what you want or expect. Others cannot read your mind! The only way to create a good working atmosphere or maintain a good friendship or relationship is to communicate and dare to talk about your feelings. Superficiality and ambiguity are fatal to good communication and create irritations that can lead to major disagreements. And an unpleasant feeling inside.
Do:
- Forgive yourself and others
- Be open to conciliatory conversations
- Dare to start with a clean slate
- Pick up old projects or friendships that have fallen by the wayside
- Be determined
- Be fair yet just
Remark:
With day card 20: Judgement, there is also card 2: the High Priestess. Read the description of card 2, the High Priestess, at your leisure too, because this card shows you how to learn to be honest with yourself and make the right decisions today.
Tarot day card 21. World day
Symbolism:
The naked goddess feels free! She no longer has any worries or problems. She has completed the long journey symbolised by the 22 cards of the Great Arcana. The 0 of the Fool closes around her in the form of a circle of flowers and fruit. She has come home, she has closed the past and is now ready for a whole new beginning. Fair is fair, she has not always had it easy, but she has learnt all her lessons and it is now time to take the reward: flowers and ripe fruit, the gifts of nature close around her liberated body and mind. It has come full circle!
Keywords:
Successful, wise, fulfilling, grateful, happy, peaceful, completing, 'home'.
Possible events today:
Today, there is a good chance that you are taking the final step in a project that is important to you. There is a completion of something so that you can then move on to something new, something bigger, something better. You have already learned and done a lot, and today you can finally finish everything and move on to another and better level! A fine time is dawning for you, with little or no room for major worries; a positive outlook! This card also includes possible contacts abroad and/or long trips where you will have a good time.
You:
On a personal level today, you need to take on more attributes of the World, act more like the World and do as it does. It really is possible to overcome your fears and insecurities, cope with your sorrows and solve your problems, provided you keep believing! Keep answering to the voice inside you encouraging you and keep trusting in a better future. Everyone encounters obstacles on their life path, but the question is: what do you do with them? Do you continue to be weighed down by setbacks or do you fight to get back on top? Are you pessimistic or do you remain positive under all circumstances? The more negative you think, the more negative events you will encounter on your life path. On the other hand, if you think positively, you will find that you will attract more positivity! Believe in your dreams, believe in yourself! Detach yourself from persons who impose restrictions on you and don't get stuck in a victim role or in work you no longer enjoy doing. Dare to take risks, dare to free yourself, look further instead of looking back and you will see that you can basically achieve anything you want, as long as you dare to close periods every now and then and spread your wings! Broaden your horizons. Take the first step towards achieving this today.
Stumbling blocks:
Even if you have completed an important phase in your life, learnt a lot and reached your goal, there are obviously still many people around you who have not made it as far as you have. Make sure you continue to see these people as equals and treat them as such. Sometimes you can use the word 'stupid', but what exactly is stupid? Is someone who thinks differently from you stupid? Is someone who learns his lessons more slowly in this life stupid? Maybe he or she is just setting different priorities? Today, keep being open to and understanding of everyone yourself. This is precisely why you got as far as you are today. Be grateful that you were given and dealt with the opportunity to achieve your goal and do not put yourself above others because of this. Pride comes before a fall; even with the World as a day chart....
Welfare:
You are aware that you have found the right balance between intuition and reason, that you can successfully conclude a certain phase in your life and spread your wings. You have already learned and achieved a lot and are now ready to move on and set yourself new goals. The World is the card of Great Success, so if you will continue to apply yourself in the right way (according to honour, conscience, feeling and reason), fulfilment will be your portion! Possibly good resistance and ditto health. You are well grounded which makes you feel strong and well balanced. Probably 'your real age' today is younger than you really are because of your good condition and zest for life. You are as young as you feel and that surely applies to you today.
Career:
On the work front, you are in a good place: you are in place and are good at what you do. In your work too, important projects will be able to be completed today, so you can start something else with fresh courage. The World points to success and a good working atmosphere. Maybe even a foreign (business) trip or foreign contacts. If you are not (currently) working, try to apply the above advice in your daily life and in your dealings with others.
Finance:
Possibly you have your finances well under control today. You have learnt a lot regarding your income and expenses and everything is well balanced. A good financial foundation gives you peace of mind and that does you good! You have probably learnt so much financially that it is now possible to turn these experiences into a successful deal. If you have plans to enter into a particular agreement, now is definitely a good time to have all your personal preferences and conditions included in a particular contract that will make this a very good deal zal worden.
Friendships/love:
Je voelt je goed in je relatie, je voelt je thuis bij je partner en je bent gelukkig met hem/haar. Jullie hebben beiden de juiste balans weten te vinden tussen liefde en vriendschap en dat is goed! Dat is de juiste manier om een relatie in stand te houden: elkaar gelijkwaardig behandelen, open en eerlijk tegen elkaar zijn en elkaar waarderen. Blijf elkaar aanvullen en vooral ook van elkaar leren. Zo zul je steeds dichter naar elkaar toe groeien en ontstaat er een soort twee-eenheid, een gevoel van ‘thuis zijn’. Heb je nog geen partner, dan is de kans groot dat je vandaag iemand tegenkomt met wie het enorm goed blijkt te klikken. Of iemand zult spreken die jou komende tijd via via met iemand in contact kan brengen waarbij je het gevoel zult hebben alsof je hem/haar al jaren kent.
Eye-opener van de dag: Geloven in je eigen kunnen en wijsheid is iets anders dan je boven anderen verheven voelen en hen informatie opdringen waar ze (nog) niet aan toe zijn.
Spreuk van de dag: Leer de wereld ervaren vanuit jouw eigen perspectief. En ga er ook zelf mee om zoals voor jou en enkel voor jou alleen goed is. Anderen leren hun eigen lessen zodra zij hier aan toe zijn, niet wanneer jij dit wilt.
Remember:
- Hoewel alle lessen zijn doorlopen, is het toch raadzaam om open te blijven staan voor nieuwe lessen. Je hebt misschien de belangrijkste lessen achter de rug, maar een mens is nooit uitgeleerd!
- Dring jouw mening niet op aan anderen, ook al weet je zeker dat je gelijk hebt. Sommige mensen hebben nu eenmaal meer tijd nodig om bepaalde lessen te leren dan anderen. Je kunt alleen maar blij zijn dat het bij jou minder lang geduurd heeft om bepaalde dingen in te leren zien.
- Sta boven kwaadsprekerij of geroddel. Men weet (nog) niet beter en men heeft zelf uiteindelijk meer last van deze negatieve houding dan jij! Alles wat je geeft komt bij je terug, en als je gewoon positief in het leven blijft staan, ongeacht wat anderen over jou zeggen, heb je tenminste niets te vrezen!
- Wees niet boos als iemand anders reageert dan je verwachtte… we zijn nu eenmaal niet allemaal hetzelfde.
Do:
- Houd altijd jouw doel voor ogen
- Leef in harmonie met uzelf en je omgeving
- Leer van alles wat je meemaakt
- Blijf jouw eigen horizon verbreden, blijf openstaan voor nieuwe mogelijkheden; je kunt het ver schoppen!
- Ga naar het buitenland of onderhoud contacten met vrienden en/of familie in het buitenland

Tarot dagkaart 22 (0). De dag van de Dwaas
Symbolism:
De Dwaas staat op het punt in de afgrond te vallen, maar… het lijkt hem allerminst te deren. Hij heeft vertrouwen dat het allemaal wel goed gaat komen. En dat is juist. Hij heeft zijn hond bij zich die als gids fungeert. Wanneer er echt gevaar dreigt zal de hond alarm slaan.
De hond op deze afbeelding staat eigenlijk voor intuïtie. De Dwaas dient open te staan voor nieuwe gebeurtenissen en nieuwe kansen, maar dient daarbij niet helemaal onbezonnen te werk te gaan. Vertrouwen hebben kan best, mits hij maar op zijn eigen intuïtie blijft vertrouwen.
Keywords:
Nieuw begin, spontaan, origineel, spontaan, impulsief, moedig, openstaand voor het nieuwe, vrijheidslievend, risico’s nemend, niet doorsnee, vol vertrouwen.
Mogelijke gebeurtenissen vandaag
Je staat aan het begin van iets nieuws; een nieuwe periode dient zich aan. Durf je eigen gang te gaan, cijfer jezelf niet weg voor anderen, maar durf datgene te doen wat jij leuk vindt en wat goed voelt! Luister hierbij naar jouw eigen gevoel en durf die sprong in het diepe te maken, maar ga desondanks niet ondoordacht te werk. Het is niet erg als je weer helemaal aan het begin van iets staat (bijvoorbeeld met leren, een cursus, een nieuwe baan of een nieuwe relatie) want het zal juist heel goed voor je zijn om weer eens met iets geheel nieuws te beginnen. Het zal jouw persoonlijke groei zeer zeker bevorderen!
You:
Op persoonlijk vlak dien je vandaag meer eigenschappen van de Dwaas aan te nemen, je meer als de Dwaas te gedragen en te doen zoals hij doet. Probeer je niet vast te klampen aan oude vertrouwde situaties. Wanneer je nooit een risico durft te nemen, zul je niet veel verder komen. Natuurlijk is het ook niet verstandig om zomaar ondoordacht en onbezonnen te werk te gaan, maar als je graag iets nieuws wilt gaan doen, durf dan gerust eens een stap in het ongewisse te zetten. De Dwaas met zijn hond, die hem zal waarschuwen wanneer iets toch niet helemaal juist is, moedigt jou aan om met hem van de berg te springen en van daaruit iets geheel nieuws te beginnen. De Dwaas luistert naar zijn hond. Luister jij naar jouw eigen intuïtie, jouw eigen waarschuwende, adviserende stemmetje binnenin, en durf eens iets heel nieuws te gaan doen! Als je je telkens weer door anderen de wet laat voorschrijven, of jezelf wegcijfert voor een ander, zul je telkens weer mensen tegen blijven komen die jou proberen te laten doen wat zij willen dat jij doet. Doorbreek dit patroon en probeer meer je eigen gang te gaan. Het is nu belangrijker dat jij tevreden met jezelf bent dan dat anderen dit met jou zijn…
Stumbling blocks:
Hoewel het een goed moment is om met iets nieuws te beginnen, is het wel verstandig om hierbij op jouw eigen intuïtie te blijven vertrouwen. Het kan zijn dat je iets nieuws wilt gaan doen, maar waarvan je in je hart weet dat je hier misschien niet goed aan doet. Doe het dan ook niet! Iets nieuws beginnen is prima, mits je er helemaal zelf achterstaat, zowel met je gevoel als met je gezond verstand! Gaat het een niet door, dan komt er vanzelf wel weer iets anders op je pad wat misschien toch beter bij je past. Blijf verantwoordelijk, bedachtzaam en duik niet zomaar ergens in zonder van tevoren goed na te denken of je er wel voldoende tijd voor kunt vrijmaken, of je in staat bent je er helemaal voor in te zetten. En of het vanbinnen echt goed voelt. Enthousiasme gaat soms gepaard met onbedachtzaamheid en het zou jammer zijn als je jezelf of iemand anders in het begin blij maakt, maar hem of haar later alsnog moet teleurstellen. Waak ook voor onverschilligheid.
Welfare:
Je bent je bewust van het feit dat je klaar bent voor een nieuwe start, dat je op het punt staat de sprong in het diepe te wagen. Blijf op je intuïtie vertrouwen; de eerste ingeving is meestal het beste advies! Mogelijk ben je wat onrustig, weet je niet goed wat te doen en sta je voor alles open. Nerveuze klachten kunnen vandaag de kop opsteken.
Career:
Misschien heb je twijfels over het feit of je hier wel op je plaats bent. Misschien wil je iets anders gaan doen, maar weet je nog niet goed wat. Durf jouw eigen beslissingen te nemen en laat je niet in een bepaalde richting sturen door anderen. Niemand kan in jouw hart of in jouw hoofd kijken en niemand weet dus wat jij werkelijk wilt. Pas je niet aan anderen aan, maar trek je eigen plan en volg je gevoel. Begin met een nieuwe cursus als dit je leuk lijkt, solliciteer als dit goed voelt. Durf jouw eigen weg te gaan, ook op het gebied van werk. Werk je (momenteel) niet, probeer dan de bovenstaande adviezen toe te passen in het dagelijks leven en in je omgang met anderen.
Finance:
Mogelijk geef je vandaag iets te gemakkelijk geld uit en denk je niet goed na over de consequenties van bepaalde aankopen of uitgaven. Beter kun je (vanaf vandaag) proberen een kasboek bij te houden zodat je wat meer inzicht krijgt in je inkomsten en uitgave. Dien je vandaag een bepaalde overeenkomst aan te gaan, worden bepaalde afspraken hieromtrent niet nagekomen. De oorzaken kunnen uiteenlopen van onverschilligheid tot overmacht.
Friendships/love:
Ook op het gebied van relaties en/of vriendschappen is het goed om open te staan voor nieuwe contacten. De personen bij wie jij je goed voelt, blijf je natuurlijk trouw, maar van de mensen in je omgeving die naar jouw gevoel minder toevoegen aan je leven, kun je gerust wat meer afstand nemen, zodat je meer tijd overhoudt om nieuwe contacten te leggen. Het kan zijn dat je erachter komt dat je elk contact met iemand wilt verbreken, maar het kan ook heel goed zijn dat je misschien alleen maar een kleine adempauze wenst en wat meer gevoel van vrijheid wilt hebben. Vandaag is een goed moment om open te staan voor nieuwe contacten en om nieuwe vriendschappen of een relatie aan te gaan.
Eye-opener van de dag: Goed naar je intuïtie luisteren is iets anders dan onbezonnen te werk gaan.
Spreuk van de dag: Laat jezelf niet intimideren door sociaal opgelegde normen en waarden, verplichtingen die je zijn opgedrongen of mensen die op je gevoel proberen te werken. Durf je eigen weg te kiezen ongeacht wat anderen hiervan vinden.
Remember:
- Doe eens iets wat niemand verwacht.
- Ken uw grenzen.
- Durf het oude los te laten als dat goed voelt.
Do:
- Onttrek je aan verplichtingen waar je je niet goed (meer) bij voelt
- Durf meer open te staan voor het nieuwe
- Durf zo nu en dan eens een risico te nemen
- Probeer meer op je intuïtie te vertrouwen bij het nemen van beslissingen
- Laat je niet aan banden leggen
- Laat je niet de wet voorschrijven door anderen
- Ga je eigen weg!
