Daily Tarot Card Draw, February 27, 2010: 8 of Cups (reversed)
Originally uploaded by j.goreham
AM: This morning afer my run, I pulled the 8 of Cups, reversed. My visual description of the card is that I see a figure (can't tell if it's a man or a woman) crossing a difficult, coastal terrain (kind of like by the wharf in my hometown where we used to play when we were kids). It's night time. It looks like the figure could be sneaking away (I say this because the figure has their back to us, and to the cups in the foreground).
PM: Today I got up and went for a run. I had a pretty healthy lunch, then went to the library to pick up some books. I took the ferry to downtown Halifax, and went to drum group practice. When I got there, I found out that our practice space was damaged in the storm. We decided to practice anyway, until we got kicked out by the lady in charge of the facility. I met my husband, we did some shopping, went for supper, then came home.
Interpretation: The Only Tarot Book You'll Ever Need tells me that my reversed 8 of Cups means I'm trying to escape from my problems without facing them. It warns that I really ought to give it all a second chance, and if I split without doing that, I could regret it. I'm not really sure what this means to me right now. When I was writing up my day, one thing that struck me as kind of funny was that there's a lot of water depicted in the card, and somebody travelling over it, and I took the ferry today. I don't think that I've experienced what this card is meant for today- so I'm going to keep an open mind over the next couple of days to see what it could mean.
In other news, I've finished up with 2 Hour Tarot Tutor, so today, I went to the library and picked up a few new tarot books to flick through- so soon, I'll post my impressions of 2 Hour Tarot Tutor, and as I get one with these books, I'll post about them, too. I picked up "Fortune Telling with Playing Cards" by Jonathan Dee, "The Back in Time Tarot Book: Picture the Past, Experience the Cards, Understand the Present" by Janet Boyer, "21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card" by Mary K. Greer, and a novel called "Little, Big" by John Crowley, as recommended by a thread in the Aeclectic Tarot Forum.
