Today’s meditation was skipped.

Today’s draw is the Wheel of Fortune, which is traditionally a representation of the ups and downs that life has to offer. This is more than about good luck and bad luck, but about the “roller coaster” of life and how things are never still or stagnant, but always moving and changing.

Here in this image a man sits and daydreams about the fortune he could make by running a candle factory, the musings brought on by the trio of candles that burn beside him.

It’s in those candles sitting at his elbow in the card’s illustration where I draw today’s message from.  The message in today’s card is that inspiration comes from all sides and all sources. It lives in everything and nothing, and speaks to each of us differently and at different times. Instead of considering your flights of fancy a pipe dream, look at them as the spark of creativity and inspiration that they are… even if the ideas are spurred by even the most mundane of moments or things.  Where they come from doesn’t define their value… what you do with them does.

#DiscordTarotholicsMar2023 Challenge Prompt
Question for March 13th: Smart & Sexy Day – Where in your life could you blend in a bit more smart and sexy?

Reading Summary: When it comes time to reap what you sow (Justice), a bit more smart and sexy can help convince (Strength) those coming for you to slow down and look at things in a more positive light (Page of Pentacles).

Take Away: Blending a bit more “smart and sexy” into your life can assist you in circumventing the worst of the repercussions that could be rolling down the line in your direction.

Use those smart and sexy qualities to help turn them to your way of thinking and show them a different path forward that could be better for not just you, but all involved.

@Lionharts #TheMarchTarot Wander Lust Challenge Prompt
Question for March 13th: Where can I use a greater sense of playfulness and curiosity in my approach (to life)?

9 pents Rx atop 4 pents, devil and hermit

Reading Summary: When you allow yourself to lose sight of all that you have accomplished (Nine of Pentacles Rx), you lose the sense of stability that view affords you (Four of Pentacles). This then leads you back to unhealthy old habits (The Devil) that creates greater isolation in your life (The Hermit).

Take Away: Growing your sense of playfulness and curiosity in the day to day allows you to take a more positive outlook on not just your life and your own accomplishments, but the world around you as well.  When you don’t allow these more positive perspectives introduced through playfulness and curiosity to have a place in your day to day life, you end up closing yourself off from the world and decline physically, emotionally, and mentally as a result.

@lucet.in.aurora.tarot’s #lucetinauroraMaartTarotChallenge Prompt
Prompt for March 13th: Your tarot collection; small or big.

Although I have over 4000 decks in my deck collection, not all of them are tarot.  I also collect oracle decks, playing card decks, lenormand decks, image only decks, game card decks, etc.

Out of the 4k, there are just over 1600 tarot decks in my collection, most of which are housed on this shelving unit pictured here. The only tarot decks not on these shelves are whatever decks I currently have in rotation for the month, as well as a small collection of “top shelf” decks that I use often and/or regularly and so keep more easily at hand near my reading table.

I told Gideon about my feeling tender and we played something where I could be in the small position again.  It’s helping.
