Three of Cups (R), Eight of Swords, Queen of Wands (R)
In this reading I asked the cards: "What do I need to know to be ready for, as my horoscope put it today, the "tornado wave of good fortune" that is coming to me?
Gut reaction: When I asked Caitlin, an intuitive card reader about love back in April, this card appeared in my reading. It also appeared once within my first few readings, both times upright. This is the third time I'm seeing this card but this time upside down. My gut reaction is that I want girlfriends SO bad. I want my "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" kind of girlfriends. Once I was successful with this dream. It was the summer before I moved away to a different state. Somehow, four of my greatest high school friends (Stacey, Natasha, Jessica, Dani), who didn't really hang out with each other separately, came together for the most fun scavenger hunt of all time, a sleepover, some nightly outings to IHOP and the College World Series. Natasha and I even went to see the first Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie that year and celebrated our birthday together and wrote letters and sent little gifts after I moved. Jessica and I wrote for a little while, too. Dani typed up the lyrics to a country song about someone moving away and hand wrote me notes in the margins. That was one of my most favorite summers ever. There's something about a community of girlfriends that is just so amazing. I had so much fun! I loved and felt so loved by my friends. We laughed ALL THE TIME SO MUCH. I can hear Dani's cute laugh and see Stacey's funny faces. I miss it. How can I have this back? I imagine it'll be even more fun to be in a dream space and have girlfriends to giggle with and share stories. When the roller coaster is up, your girlfriends are there. And when it's down, they're still there. Girlfriends are always there. Not to mention I miss the girly things! Like when Jessica and I read the same books and talked about them, or being inspired by Stacey to dress better (she always dressed amazing) or talk about sexy cosmo-mag techniques with Dani. :) The more I write the more I realize that girlfriends are absolutely essential. And I just remembered I put this longing on my dream board for the year. I need my girls! Three of Cups reversed = don't forget how badly you want girlfriends.
Gut reaction: What the--? A tied up blindfolded woman in a sea of blood surrounded by swords. Oh no. There was a battle and blood was shed. Was she a martyr? She doesn't look like she fought and her peaceful mouth and posture say she isn't in a struggle to escape this bondage. Why not when there's a castle behind her? It doesn't seem like it would take much to shake out of the cloth that binds her. Then she could take off the blindfolds and walk the long hill up to the castle. Hmm. I need to be ready to leave the battle field. I need to be ready to leave behind the role of the martyr. But it was so fun to be the martyr. NOT! :) Eight of Swords = The battle is/is about to be over. Maybe it sucked but you chose it. It's now time to shake loose! Forgive yourself and move on. On a side note, Pluto goes direct after five months of being retrograde on September 20th. All of the inner work we've been doing for the past five months will pay off and we'll start to express it outwardly. The real adventure begins.
Gut reaction: I got this card two days in a row. It's trying to speak to me. I still think it's important that I learn from this Queen. I have a lot to get done in the next three days before the New Moon on September 5th and so little time. I need to stay focused and determined. It's important to me to get organized and prepared before this New Moon. So often I say I'm going to and rarely ever get fully organized. How good will it feel to have all my ducks in a row so that on the New Moon, I can set my intentions with a clear mind and then rock this next magical moon cycle like I've never rocked one before? I can do it, I can do it! In this situation, Queen of Wands (R) = You know something good's coming for you, don't sit around twirling your hair, get ready for it!
Disclaimer: This is the first reading I did without consulting research. I'll check out what the internet has to say about these cards now that I've finished writing. This post is an exercise in intuition. Maybe my gut reactions will align with the common/accepted definition of the cards, maybe it won't. Who cares? :) This is what works for me today.
