Rowan's Round of Days

April 9 - Judgment

Judgment's trumpet calls us to be reborn. To find a new Path. Arise to a new vocation. Got that already actually. I think the Tarot has given me what it can, sometime down the line I will do a full 10 card reading, but I think for now my morning drawing is done.

Since I had a day without Internet I didn't post April 6th's card, so here is a twofer.

April 6 - the Knight of Cups

The knight rides a unicorn through the waves. A cup shines in the sky wreathed in yellow spirits. It makes me think of a Grail Quest.

Knights are actively seeking mastery of their element. So,am I to seek emotion and fluidity? I can see a need to be flexible and open to what I am really feeling. I sometimes wonder if I am in touch with my feelings. I mean, I seem to move more evenly than many, and so have wondered if I am missing something. I think I am just "phlegmatic" as the medieval folk would say. I don't mind tending toward contentment over drama.

Hmm, back to the card. Does it suggest I need to find my passion? That could be it's relation to work. I am not feeling very passionate about working, I admit. What could I feel passionate about doing? I honestly have no idea. And driving down the hill flared my elbow again to remind me that it is my fantasy self who creates things with her hands.

April 7 - King of Pentacles

Encased in the trunk of an oak tree, this King manifests an acorn in his left hand in a circle of light. A green dragon encircles the tree.

The King has mastery of his suit, the earthy Pentacles speak of work and wealth. The King is practical and enterprising. All he touches grows. I don't see his power in myself, I admit. in have mused on this all day, well or at least during the walking on the beach part. They speak of people who have many years of experience versus one year many times over. In the last few years I have been pretty stagnant. I don't feel any spark of desire to DO something wonderful. I know by this that I am profoundly burnt out. How can I relink to my practical and enterprising King of Pentacles side?

The winged woman holds a yin/yang ball from which two dragons rise intertwining whilst a small fantasy critter and a bird look on. Harmony, balance, synthesis, healing. Going about one's work with calm deliberation. Finding a middle ground, collaborating rather than going it alone.

I do want my next job to have colleagues and not just coworkers. It was good to be a member of a diverse team, but I yearn for people doing the same thing I am with whom I can brainstorm and share thoughts and strategies.

And I want a job that balances with my rather complicated life. Finding balance -- enough time, enough money, enough focus, enough letting go. I will go forward I calm deliberation and see where that leads.

Well, bah! I lost yesterday's Lj entry entirely. Before I start to recreate it... or at least hit the high spots, let me share this funny Uncyclopedia entry on Librarian. The people writing Uncyclopedia are having way too much fun as a look at varius other entries (e.g. pirates) will make clear.

I wrote an entry about SLCC yesterday. I hate it when I lose things. It is like when I write them, they're gone. That is why I blog after all. To have an external memory. One thing was this picture on C/net which isn't particularly flattering but surely not as bad as the comment by omnwoblogger asserts. *sigh* And those are fox ears, not horns... just for the record.

Hmm. What else did I talk about? Oh well.

This morning I did another tarot shoot, producing four alternative Aces of Cups. I will probably do them over again... I'd like to add a rainbow to this set up. *grin*
