The Sun

The Sun, in this deck, shows an orange dragon surrounded by a corona of yellow fire it has breathed out. The sky is blue behind it. On the grass below there are two children playing beneath the six sunflowers, the heads of the flowers are following the sun. The children with a small dragon. They are innocent in their play.

The sun is the basic energy of the solar system. It is the fuel for plants, animals, and all life on this planet. The Sun is love. This card represents the exuberance of the child. You don't have to be a child to love life, or to enjoy the creative vision children posess.

Allow yourself the freedom to be who you are. Look upon the community you live within and see where you can expend your energy to make a difference. Present yourself with a smile, even on the days when you feel as far from smiling as you can. Remember there is a school of thought that says your mood will follow your action. In other words act as if you are cheerful and the mood will follow. If you want to bring good things into your life you have to bring yourself to believe you deserve it. As an experiment walk down the street with a smile on your face, and see how many smiles you gather from others. The more you do this the more you will feel it is right.

Three of Rods

This deck depicts the three of rods as two men putting a rod as a crossbeam supported by two more rods. The older man has climbed a pear tree in order to get the right height to put the third rod on the project.

Solving problems with the help of others, taking your ideas out to the community, and communication are all a part of the three of rods. This is a day to look around and see what I can find that will interest me in taking care of future needs.

The Star

This card shows a woman with long blond hair standing with one foot in the water and one foot on land. She is pouring water from two sea shells, into the water and on to the shore. The sky is clear dark blue with one large star and seven smaller stars around it in a circle. The the background is a sail boat on the water and a building with a telescope on the distant shore. In the foreground is a blooming iris and an ancient tool for a sailor to guide himself by the stars.

The Star represents the hope we all have that things will be all right. It is a good card to draw when you are fearful of what is going on in your life. It allows us to see that no matter what is going on right at that minute, there is much to allow us to rejoice and look toward the future. Fear is a difficult thing to combat, it is rather like fighting smoke. There is nothing substantial and the more you wave your hands the faster it comes back to you. What is it you fear? Is it something that you can alter or is it something outside of your control? Sometimes all you want to do is stand high on a hill and let go of the edges of your fear, allowing it to fly away from you. This is the point that makes the Star card so important.

Queen of Cauldrons/Cups

This card shows a matronly looking woman with a crown, her hair is caught up in a snood her dress is blue with a purple cloak lined with white fur. She is holding a goblet and a peach. Her eyes are dark blue and intense, her mouth is in a half smile.

The Queen of Cups is about relationships and feelings for others. It is a card that asks for involvement in those around me. It is easier to be pleasant with others and allow yourself the satisfaction of helping others in their endevors.

Ten of Wands

This card shows a man in a plain red tunic with yellow stockings and a yellow hood, he is trying to hold and bundle ten rods with leaves still on them.



The Ten of Rods speaks of being overwhelmed with burdens. As Tens represent the ends of cycle, this is a time when the cycle is to be examined, at the very least, and changed if necessary. What tasks are real and not just brought about by other peoples ideas or desires? This is a day for me to ponder this question. I need to decide my own priorties, and not allow others to override my agenda. It seems that I have a good capacity for accomplishing things, but the feeling of being overburdened comes when I'm trying to complete my 'stuff' and someone else adds their 'stuff' on top of it. The past couple of weeks have been a little crazy, with visiting family and other things. Time to get back on my track.

Six of Swords

This card shows a man walking across the rocks in a stream of water. Surrounding him are hands with swords extended from the river. He is moving toward a small island that is covered by shrubs and looks peaceful.

When surrounded by conflict, or in the middle of a situation that seems to have no solution. It is sometimes important to step away for a while. Often moving away allows you to find a creative solution to your problems.

The Tower

This card gives me a start when ever it shows up, even though in a daily card it is more of a poke to get you to get you moving than a card telling of disaster. The art on the card is disturbing. It is shaded with a yellow green which gives everything a strange look. The tower which is the central figure of the card is built of blocks of stone and resembles a sphinx with a very human face. There is rain and lightening in the back ground and the lightening is striking the tower. It is on fire, fire is coming out of all of the windows and people are falling off the tower to the ground. In the forground is a large green frog, frogs represent change.

Time for me to look at my world and see what needs to change. I have been doing that to some degree on the front of employment, but haven't made any changes as yet. The Tower gives me the knowledge that I do need to look at things with an eye to what I need to change now.
