What is missing in my love life?

I asked the cards "What is missing in my love life"?

Four of Swords- What is missing is prayer,meditation and time to truly reflect on what it is I want in my love life.

I haven't been really clearly stating my needs.

Three of Swords- I feel that I need to release all that hurt and let go completely of an old attachment or feelings regarding a relationship.

Page of Shells(Cups)- Opening up myself emotionally. Welcoming love into my heart. Being vulnerable and open.

Bodhran's Summer Solstice Spread

 Summer Solstice Spread

Pull "The Sun" from the deck and place it face up in the center.

1. During the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, more light is available to us. What in my life has been in shadow, that I need to shine a bright light on so I can see it clearly for what it is?

6 of Swords - This card is a total confirmation because I received it in a reading given to me. All about leaving behind a situation that I am kind of sad about, but know that this too will pass.

2. The word "solstice" comes from the Latin "sol" (meaning sun) and "sistere" (meaning to cause to stand still). What in my life am I trying to force into happening when instead I need to be still and patient?

3 of Cups - I was not sure about this cards meaning in reference to the question, but taking a look at it more clearly I feel that I may be trying to force more fun into my life knowing that at this moment I am sorting out a few things. I know that that may sound weird, but for a while I have been to myself not really involving myself in community activities really. That will come when spirit sees fit in my life to involve myself with public. What comes to mind is "rushing to be happy".

3. The Summer Solstice is often called "Midsummer" because it is roughly in the middle of the growing season. What in my life is fertile and productive now? Where are my opportunities for growth?

9 of Pents - This card is my true fave! What is fertile is asserting my independence and being self reliant. Seeking my own solitude and happiness. Being free to be uniquely me!

4. After Summer Solstice, the days gradually become shorter, and the sun's strength wanes as winter approaches. What is waning in my life? What do I need to release?

King of Pents - I immediately knew who this particular king was referring to. A person that had a very main staple in my life. So this card affirms to me that this person/situation is being released and I truly feel that. My heart was so involved in this person although I was unhappy with it after such a long time of being bored and lonely...haha. 

This was a very insightful reading for me and I hope that you enjoyed it too!

What does spirit want me to be aware of?

So I asked the cards "What spirit want me to be aware of?" and pulled Queen of Wands.
Whenever this particular queen shows up it usually relates to my writing! She is fun,spirited, lively and just so darn creative! I totally need to channel the Queen of Wands into my life for she brings light into the world and those close around her.

Coming alive!

I asked the cards "What makes me come alive?" and received the High Priestess, but before I go further as I shuffled before pulling a card, the Page of Cups jumped right out of the deck.

I feel that both these cards are telling me that what makes me come alive is being open and receptive emotionally. I somehow feel it relates to my opening up more spiritually and psychically. The High Priestess is all about the secrets within that lays deep inside. Upon seeing the Page of Cups I just felt fun and lighthearted. Truly being in love with self and my world.

Forgive me

I have been totally out of the loop lately. Will be posting my card draws soon. I will be moving this page possibly
and will share the link :)

Theme of The Day

Here are the cards I pulled for theme of  the day....

1. 2 of Pentacles (middle card) : I feel that this card speaks of keeping balance when things are rocky. This happened this morning when my niece was acting unruly this morning. Maintaining the peace and balance in times of chaos.

2. 10 of Pentacles (inner) : Wanting understanding and peace. Being able to be respectful and cordial..

3. King of Wands (outer) : Looking on the bright side. Optimistic.

These cards make sense as to the events that occurred this morning. The sun is out and things have been running smoothly here at home.... for now at least....lol.

Spirit says

I asked spirit to show me what I need to know today I drew these three cards....

10 of Pentacles
King of Wands
2 of Cups

Now the King of Wands has been showing itself to me pretty frequently. King of Wands is my soon to be man that is on his way...lol.

When I look at the 10 of Pents I think of stability between two people. Not just financially, but as a couple. Planning for the future.

King of Wands is a very passionate man. Very sunny popular and well spoken. Life of the party. I am a pretty quiet person so that type of vibrant personality is cool with me.

2 of Cups is an oh so lovely card! Very serene and beautiful. Blending of two souls together. 

These cards are what I needed for this morning.

What have I learned?

Since I have not posted much I just changed the first question a bit. So here are my results!



What have I learned in the past month by using this deck?

3 Wands : I feel as if this card is saying that I am still waiting or searching for more from my deck exploration.
I have not really used it everyday, but I am seeking more from myself to work with my deck.


What will I learn this second month, using this deck every day?


4 Swords : I will learn how to relax and center myself. Go within and seek the answers. Meditation comes to mind with this card.



 I have been lagging off a bit in Jan, but hope that Feb will be the month I stay on track with my PDR.

Cards coming true

On 2/1/10 before I went to sleep I asked the cards what I needed to know/keep in mind. Well as I shuffled 2 cards fell out clumped together. Those cards were 7 of Wands and Hanged Man. The next day I went to court along with my mom concerning an issue that is too long to get into. The cards totally predicted the outcome of a ruling for a postponement. While in court I thought to myself "the cards made a prediction!" This was so amazing to me :) 

One card read

So I asked the cards (Gummy Bear Tarot) What must I keep in mind? I pulled the Four of Wands.
To me this felt much like being happy. This card has shown up a few times in readings and I must take notice!
Since this card deals with home life I also took it to mean wanting my own place! I have been dreaming of having my own cool apartment and it looking like one of those photos from a home decorating magazine...hehe.

Whatever this card is telling me I feel positive about it :)

What spirit has to say about my writing career.

The other day I did a free form reading using the Gummy Bear Tarot. I was not planning on sharing this reading at first,but I thought why not!

I asked spirit what they wanted me to know about my writing career and pulled these three cards.....

Death - When this card showed up my reaction was one of flinching...lol, Normally when seeing this card I do not do that. I guess I was quite surprised to get this card. I took it to mean letting go of past ideas and notions. Shedding my old self. 

Six of Wands - With this card following after I was also surprised because this card
has shown up in about three or four readings concerning the New Year! I feel this card has to do with success.

Ace of Cups - I see this last card as being new emotionally. Overwhelming feeling! Opening myself up and letting things flow!


As far as putting this into a sentence I feel the cards are telling me through death there comes victory that leads to fulfillment.

Another interesting note is how the Death and Six of Wands cards show movement toward the Ace of Cups. Like All roads lead to fulfillment of attainment.

This year I really want to get my writing in order. I have been not doing much with it in the past,but I need to get out of procrastination mode seriously.

Update : Looking at the cards again, I really did not explain it in terms relating to my writing career. 
Death - New ways of thinking, new ideas and techniques! I for a long time wanted to write romantic stories.. nothing wrong with that, but for a few months now I have been wanting to create stories that have a spiritual base to it. Not overtly so, but have spirituality tied up in it :)
Six of Wands - I felt as a cheery card. Being my own cheerleader..moving forward with the new ideas.
Ace of Cups - Letting the new creative ideas flow from within me. Falling in love with wanting to write again because for some time I was not really passionate about writing. Felt stuck and in a rut.


Thanks Kafka for your extra insight!!!! You rock!

Outer attitude, Inner truth

This spread shows my outer attitudes and my inner truth  that may be hidden from light or myself...lol. 
Sorry about the picture quality I may scan the pictures in later. It's not shown in the picture that way, but card 2 crossed card 1 - card 4 crossed card 3 and card 6 crossed card 5.

From Drop Box

1.Inner Truth about what you want.  
Six of Pentacles - I felt this card was saying that I wanted to give of myself. I love helping people
and although this card is about giving and receiving I felt more inclined to the giving aspect of this card.
2. Outer attitude towards achievement.
Four of Pentacles - From this card I felt that I keep my attitudes toward achievement to myself. I don't really share my achievements as I am very modest and don't want to come off as a show off.


3.Inner truth about what you need.
Queen of Cups - From this card I was not quite sure,but I feel that emotional stability is what I need. I tend to keep my emotions inside too. I need to care for myself more too like love myself.
4.Outer attitude about values.
Sun -  I immediately felt this card was speaking of positivity. I have a good attitude toward values so this is right on point. Also, I am very positive outlook wise.

5.Inner truth - your feelings.
Page of Wands - My feelings are passionate and  innocent..bubbly comes to mind. My passion is with held inside me.
6.Outer attitude - reaction.
High Priestess - I keep my feelings hidden on the outside. I am a mystery. Quiet.

7. Future inner truth to be revealed.
The Fool- I saw this as me truly bringing out the free spirit in me. I felt travel too because I have this desire to see the world and just be free!

I hope that you enjoyed this spread! Till next time :)

New Year Spread

 New Year Spread taken from the lovely Tarot Dame @ http://tarotdame.blogspot.com/

1. What I should leave behind me when the new year arrives.
The Devil - To me this card is telling me to release or cut the cords to what is not serving me.
I know exactly what it refers to and in my case a relationship and ideas I held on to for the longest time.

2. What I should take with me in the new year.
The Empress - To me this card is telling me to take comfort in myself and to take in all that is around me.
I haven't really been looking after myself much. Too focused on others,but with focusing on what I want and need that is what I should take with me in the New Year.

3. What I have to look forward to in the coming year.

Six of Wands - I saw this card as feeling happy with myself. Like overcoming my fears and finally winning.

This card has shown up in other readings I have done for myself and from someone doing a reading for me. So this card signifies good times to look forward too!

This year should be a good one I feel it!!!

A side note : These three cards totally jumped out as I shuffled and they were clumped together! Isn't that crazy!?

Happy New Years

I am happy to be sharing my personal readings with you and along the way discovering insights about myself. I have been using tarot for a while now,but find myself skipping from deck to deck and with the focus on one deck I wish to gain insight and more knowledge through tarot!

Look out for my first post either tonight or tomorrow!

Happy New Years!
