Deck: Circle of Life
Card:The Tower
This card is rust colored! No doubt about it. Two angels (demons?) are hanging from the tower and looking below. Presumably, they're watching the chaos they've started. The LWB says "When all seems to come to an end, instead of letting desperation consume us, we must think of the evil we have escaped."
In response to today's question, I think this card is reminding me that even when things look like they'll go forever, it could have been worse.

Today's Question: What is my middle path?
Deck: Circle of Life Tarot
Card: Ace of Pentacles
This card shows a dragon with a "baby pouch" on it's back. Inside the pouch is a little boy with spots/markings that match the dragon's. Five acorns are in the background and the dragon is holding a ball of some kind with it's tail. The pouch covers the dragon's wings, but the dragon doesn't seem to mind. Maybe the dragon realizes it has to make a sacrifice (clip it's own wings a little) for the good of the boy. The LWB says "a careful assessment of your resources is often the first step to acquiring knowledge."
What does that mean in response to today's question? I think I'm supposed to step back, look at the resources I have, and decide where to focus those resources. My child, I think, needs to be let go a little, so that my own wings can spread just a little.

Today's Question: How can I find the calm that is my inner strength?
Deck: Circle of Life
Card: I literally had two cards fly out of the deck -- the King of Swords and the Knave of Chalices
The King of Swords shows a man's head and shoulders surrounded by some very fierce animals -- a snake, an eagle -- things with pointy beaks and forked tongues. The man is in the midst of a "war yell." The LWB says this card means "those who are capable of imagining the future can often decide it."
The Knave of Chalices shows an older woman (sprite maybe?) carrying a basket filled with water. There are birds helping to carry the woman and the load she's carrying. The LWB says "knowing how to meditate, even on our victories, is the privilege of the wise."
I look at these two cards and am reminded first of my husband with the King of Swords. The "war yell" thing is so him! The birds helping to carry the burden in the Knave of Chalices card reminds me to share my burdens. I think these cards are telling me that I will find that calm inner strength when I share my burdens with my husband.

Today's question: What is the vehicle to my next adventure?
Deck: Circle of Life Tarot
Card: 4 of Chalices
This card shows one broken vase (actually, the vases remind me of ancient native American pottery) with water pouring out to the ground. There are three other vases, presumably full. A women (water sprite?) is gazing into one of the full vases. The card reminds me of the phrase "don't cry over spilt milk." According to the LWB, the card means "we must not think excessively about what has been lost, but instead appreciate what we have." I think my next adventure, then, is one of moving forward and possibly cutting some ties to the past. This is a round deck, and the first time I've used it.
