Card of the Day – 5♣ – Five of Clubs (Wands)

6/25 – a 5♣ Day:

Keywords:

COMPETITION
PLAYING VS FIGHTING
QUARRELING
GAMES OR ARGUMENTS
THRILL OF CONTESTS

Five of Clubs is a card of ‘Playing vs. Fighting’. It has a lot of Mars energy, in terms of competition, sportsmanship, or open conflict. Mars can manifest as competition, war, vitality, aggression, ego domination, strength, and conquest. It is initiating and active. See if you can view things in a childlike way, as play or sport, and this card as lightness and fun instead of open conflict. This is the opportunity and lesson of this card.

It can also show us that when we adopt a playful attitude to life’s challenges & petty annoyances, that there is a sense of fun available to us if we can laugh at it instead of being consumed and embroiled by them.

“Enjoy your problems.” -Buddhist quote

Card of the Day – 9♣ – Nine of Clubs (Wands)

3/27 – a 9♣ day:

Keywords are:
DEFENDING
PERSEVERING
ENDURANCE

This card reminds me of Cool Hand Luke when he is in the fight but keeps getting back up. It has the essence of the zen quote: ‘Fall down seven times, stand up eight.’ It encourages perseverance in the midst of struggle. It also reminds me of a Beckett quote: ‘Ever tried. Ever Failed. Nevermind. Try again. Fail better.’

Card of the Day – 9♠ – Nine of Spades (Swords)

3/1 – a 9♠ day:

Keywords:
SELF-CREATED STRESS
GUILT
ANGUISH

This is another card that people find unsettling to see in their spreads/readings. Funny how the cards about ‘too many thoughts’ (swords) generate uneasiness. This is a card depicting a woman in anguish in her bed. What I like to point out in this card is that she is actually safe at home and in a comfortable place, but that it is her own thoughts that are creating the problems for her. Of the 9 Swords on the wall, only 3 of them are actually interacting with her. This may signify that one is creating more problems than they have by overthinking, going in circles about the actual problems that exist, and turning them into something much more.

I also like to point out that in the small scenario depicted on the bed, there is an image of a swordfight going on, but only one person has a sword. Again, this signifies that the one person doing the ‘fighting’ may be one’s own self and that by not overfocusing or ‘worrying’ the problems themselves, we may save ourselves from creating unnecessary (self-created) anguish.
