These cards were pulled in between the Solar Eclipse and the Lunar Eclipse. I’m going to keep editing this as I receive more downloads:

Card 1: VIII of Swords – Sometimes we stay in situations longer than we should; the seal is clearly smiling even though it is bound and can leave at anytime. It’s more comforting to stay in mental bondage than to see what else is out there.

Card 2: Ace of Wands – Force of the element of fire. New experiences, creative ideas. Some kind of new inspiration that will lead to action, confidence, enthusiasm. Drive. Sexual passion. An exciting opportunity.

Card 3: VIII of Wands – A positive card. There’s momentum in whatever you’re doing. Could also mean that your goals could come to fruition in 8 days, 8 weeks or 8 months.

Card 4: XVIII The Moon – Deep instinctual forces. Self-deception.
Your intuition, feelings, dreams and illusions will be amplified around this time.

Card 5: X of Pentacles – How blessed and lucky are you to have a family that supports you and a place to call home. It may not be the family you grew up with but the family you created or married into. Comfort. Money, wealth, financial security. Success. Security. Stability. Responsibility. Prosperity. Legacy.

Card 6: X The Wheel of Fortune – The Wheel of Fortune is always turning, just like the earth, the sun, the moon and the planets are in constant motion. What will happen next? Stay open to possibilities. This is a good luck card. Karma, fate, destiny, progress, a lucky break.

Card 7: IV of Pentacles – This card comes up for me a lot. I think it’s because it’s related to money and resources. At the moment, I am neutral about it.

Card 8: IX of Pentacles – This card comes up a lot for me as well – a woman in solitary enjoyment of the finer things in life as she surveys her garden. She is reaping the benefit of the wise use of her talents and resources. She is alone and at peace with herself and her surroundings. She is in control of her thinking and of her destiny. The card of self-mastery, self-reliance.

Card 9: 4 of Wands – A well-deserved rest. Contentment. Blessings. Harmony. A happy and secure home.

The overall message that I’m getting from these cards is that my finances, material wealth, and well being are in good order. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Something about being in Leo season that’s making me determined as fuck.

I’m feeling a surge of energy from the sun.

In comparison to Cancer season, I feel a lot more stable and have clarity on what I need to do next…sort of.

Cancer season was turning me into a emotional wreck for no reason. I almost felt like a victim? A victim of my own fucking mind when it turns on me and starts to get me to think in limited ways.

I drive myself crazy sometimes. I feel alone on this because I feel like it’s up to me to keep up with finances, to figure out how to bring in more money. I feel like I’m the only one who invests in myself.

Anyways…

Right now I have investments and entrepreneurship on my mind. I think at this point I will have to create my own damn job; I keep looking on CL for something else but none of them appeal to me at all. The stuff that used to interest me no longer does.

Not only that but the deeper I go into metaphysical stuff, the less I can relate to the three-dimensional world.

At this point I really don’t want to work for anyone else but myself. How do I parlay this?

And is this a sign? It must be because it’s all I’ve been thinking about.

The Fool (0) has been showing up a few times now. This card usually never shows up, unless it’s time for me to dive into the unknown again.

And 8 of Swords is the card that tends to remind me of the so called “prison” that I created.

I have a few ideas (some are risky while most are just past my comfort zone) but at the moment I can’t think of anything else:

+ Pull out money from my 401k account, quit my job and live off of that while I bring up my small business.

+ Live a lean & frugal lifestyle. Downgrade to a smaller place (might have to be an apartment, meh) and cut out the cable and other stuff so I can have less expenses.

+ Move closer to my work so I don’t have to drive my car & spend so much money on gas and car repairs; I can just walk.

These are just ideas that have been running through my head these last couple of months. All I know is, something has to change. If this is my dream, then surely I can change it right?
