Dame Fortune's Wheel Tarot: New Year and Blue Moon Manifesting

Tonight's the night! A full moon, a blue moon, a lunar eclipse. The last day of the year, the last day of the decade. And my daughter's birthday.

Today I decided to draw cards intentionally, to use as symbols for what I want to manifest in 2010. I chose cards from the Coins suit, because this year I really need to amp up my financial status. I looked through my deck, and selected the images that illustrated scenarios that I want to embrace and work toward in the coming year.

Ever the procrastinator, I have not yet decided what I will do to harness the power of all the lunar activity tonight. I think I'll just end up winging it and do whatever comes to me at the time. For the first time, my kids want to stay up until midnight, so I don't even know if I'll be able to do much of anything, as I may not have any solitude.

But I will still meditate on these cards as what I want for the year ahead, whether or not I will have the opportunity to do any type of manifestation ritual tonight.


I first pulled the Ace of Coins, as it represents the foundation for the suit. It is the symbol for prosperity and growth. This is the main focus and theme of 2010 for me.

Next I selected the Queen of Coins. This might be the most beautiful Queen of Coins cards I've seen. It's stunning. This is who I want to become in the coming year. I want to embody wealth mentality. I want to live and breathe abundance, gratitude and plenty, so that it's no longer who I strive to be, but rather who I am.

The Queen is taking the Ace of Coins and making it her own. Prosperity is so natural to her, it's not something she even has to think about. It's just who she is. This is where I want to be.



The next three cards I chose show more abundance-related scenes.




The Four of Coins shows a woman who reminds me of Lady Fortuna. She holds two cornucopias. One is held upside down, spilling out gold crowns and coins. The other is held upright and is overflowing with fruits. There is a man sitting at her feet, welcoming this new abundance in his life. I see myself first as the man, experiencing a new level of wealth this year, and then as the woman, sharing my abundance with others.

In the Nine of Coins, I see myself with my three children, working on our new home with lush hills of green in the background. I definitely want to move this year, to a place that is more green and beautiful. I look forward to finally settling down somewhere and enjoying making a new home together.

And in the Six of Coins, I see the coins encircling the moon, which brings me back to the special meaning of this evening. The coins make the shape of a full moon. The woman is holding a lamp and ringing a bell, which makes me think of a magical ritual involving soft music, candles and the moon. I do hope that I get the opportunity to set my intentions tonight in some manner, however small, before I fall asleep!

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2010 finds you in just right place to make your dreams come true!

New Year Spread & Reading with Dame Fortune's Wheel Tarot

Instead of doing a daily draw today, I wanted to prepare for the new year quickly approaching.

New Year Spread

1. What I should leave behind me when the new year arrives.
2. What I should take with me in the new year.
3. What I have to look forward to in the coming year.




1. What I should leave behind me when the new year arrives.
Seven of Swords
This card represents something I need to release as it does not serve in my best interests. What I see in this card is a small gathering of people whispering, seemingly up to no good. They are either scheming or gossiping. This is the sort of negativity I need to leave behind. While I'm not really interesting enough to do a whole lot of scheming, I can translate this card to mean pettiness, and fretting over the small, irritating things in life. I need to not get worked up over things that don't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Hey, there's my scheme theme! I have, I believe, become better at letting things slide off my back, instead of dwelling on them. This card is telling me that I still have a little more of this to release, to improve the quality of my life.

2. What I should take with me in the new year.
Ace of Cups
This card represents something that I've been doing that is working, and that I should continue. Whenever I see the Ace of Cups, the first word that comes to mind is Love. I can't help it. There are hearts on the cup, which add to that feeling. There are also blossoming flowers, and the cup appears to issuing water like a fountain. There is a lot of abundance in this card. So what I need to take with me into next year is all that I have learned about prosperity and abundance mentality. Also, the love and gratitude for all that is going beautifully for me in my life.

3. What I have to look forward to in the coming year.
Three of Cups
This card gives me a little sneak peek of what's to come this year. I have to be honest, and the first thing I saw in this card was the woman unmasking the man. I wonder if my mystery man will be revealed to me in 2010. While all the love stuff has died down in my cards, it's the first thing that popped into my head, so I'll go with it.

I have extremely high hopes for the year ahead, in many areas of my life. I am really looking forward to improving myself in several ways this year.

Dame Fortune's Wheel Tarot: Keeping Birthday Gifts Under Wraps

This morning I drew the Knight of Batons, Four of Swords and Queen of Swords. The Knight approaches the sleeping figures in the Four of Swords, but looks over them at the Queen who holds up her sword up as a warning for the Knight to hold back. She does not want the people's slumber disturbed. The morning's sun slowly spreads its first rays over the two bodies and they will wake soon enough.

In a more mundane world, this scenario translates to me as news arriving, but my wanting to keep it hidden from someone for a brief time, until they naturally awaken to the news themselves at the right time. So, what immediately came to mind was my daughter's birthday gifts arriving in the mail, which I will keep from her for a brief time (two days) until she awakens on her birthday.

Dame Fortune's Wheel Tarot: Underwear Mandate

This week I will be using the deck I received for Christmas... Dame Fortune's Wheel Tarot. This deck is inspired by Marseilles and Etteilla decks.

Today I drew Eight of Swords, Judgment and King of Coins.

These cards scream "Judgment" to me. The two outer cards are facing the middle card, so all eyes are on Judgment. The Eight of Swords shows a feeble king on a throne, before a backdrop of swords of justice. He is pointing at the proceedings in the Judgment card. He appears sad that this has to happen, but he points at the guilty party and condones the proceedings nonetheless.

On the other side of Judgment, Alexander the Great (the King of Coins) looks on with pleasure and approval.

The feeling I get from these cards is that there was wrongdoing, and Alexander has forced the other king to have the guilty party punished. The other king seems to have an emotional tie to the wrong-doer, and reluctantly agrees to the call of Judgment. I think he is pointing to only one of the figures in Judgment, sacrificing one so the other two can go free. There is some deal behind the scenes, where Alexander holds a threat over the other king, if he does not follow through.

What does this mean for me today? Well, it will obviously be on a much less dramatic scale. But my best guess is that, since we are spending the day with my dad, he will be upset about something the kids do, and I will have to talk to one of them about it. It will probably be something that bothers him, and not me, but in order to keep the peace, I will have to talk to kids about it, just while my dad is around. He is Alexander and I am the other king, with my three kids in the Judgment card.

In fact, it may even be something much simpler, as the nudity in the three figures made me think of how I often catch my girls dressed, but without underwear underneath. Don't ask me why, but they prefer it that way. But when we are going out, or someone is coming over, I always make sure they are wearing undies, even if they have long pants on. So perhaps that's all it is. I am pointing to my naked babes telling them they need to forgo their individual preferences because they will be judged by their grandpa if they don't.

Home Sweet Home: Embarking on a Metaphysical Journey

Today I wrap up my week with the Home Sweet Home Tarot. This morning I drew the Wandering Fool, House of a High Priestess and House of Moon.

Of course the first thing that caught my attention was the House of Moon, which seems to be following me around (appearing four times this week). Coupled with the House of a High Priestess, it made me think of dreams and intuition and psychic phenomenon.

The Wandering Fool is without a house. The deck is subtitled "Where the Majors Sleep at Night", and the Fool sleeps wherever he happens to be along his journey. The adventure awaiting him, visiting the houses of the High Priestess and the Moon, is one of psychic phenomena and life's magical mysteries. This coming year one of my goals is to grow in leaps and bounds in the metaphysical arena. There is so much I want to learn and facets within myself I want to improve. I am very excited about the travels that lay before me.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with these cards this week. I think it's a great deck to help exercise one's intuitive listening muscles. Without human expression in the cards, you are left to hear behind the scenes, the conversations happening inside the houses. I have done this with a few readings this week, and it's a fascinating way to approach the cards.

Home Sweet Home Tarot: Planning for the Blue Moon

Today I drew the House of Star, House of Moon and House of the Warrior and his Sphinxes (Chariot).

The Star and Moon have been coming up for me repeatedly this week. Both celestial entities. And I can't help but think of the blue moon/lunar eclipse coming up every time I see the Moon this week. I have been thinking about it a lot lately, trying to decide how best to utilize this magical night. The Star tells me that this Moon has the potential to make my wishes come true.

Now what is going on in the house of the Warrior and his Sphinxes? They are having a pow wow. I can hear them brainstorming about the best plan of action, before going full steam ahead. I don't want Dec. 31 to arrive before I have had time to create a plan for how I will connect with the Blue Moon magic. So these cards were very helpful in reminding me that I have some creative thinking and planning to do.

Home Sweet Home Tarot: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!! Today I received Dame Fortune's Wheel Tarot as a Christmas gift, which I will be using next week on the blog. That's the first thing I thought of when I drew "House of Fortuna" today, as the deck is named after that card.

As today is Christmas day, our house is certainly a fortunate one, so the House of Fortuna makes perfect sense today. Quite the abundance of new gifts abound! The Houses of the Sun and Moon together made me think "day and night", as Fortuna's gifts will be enjoyed from morning till night, making it bound to be the longest day of the year! I got almost no sleep last night, as my son kept waking up all night long, too excited to sleep. He was eventually joined by one of my daughters, waking every hour or so. My first groggy words upon dawn breaking was "Merry Christmas... I could kill you both." My youngest daughter was the only one who got a solid night of sleep.

The morning was devoted to opening gifts, the afternoon will be spent enjoying all the new treasures and Skyping our cross-country relatives, and the night will be more relaxing, I hope, with a nice dinner and watching past Christmas home movies.

Fortuna, Sun and Moon is a perfect combo for a perfect day (and evening)!

Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate today, and Happy Friday to all who don't!

Home Sweet Home Tarot: Branching Out

When I was shuffling, the Houses in Loves leaped out at me. (Yes, it really says "Houses in Loves"... odd typo on the card.) Then I cut and drew the House of Star and House of Fortuna.

Well, had I been asking about a romantic situation, these cards would be fabulously favorable. As it stands, as a daily draw, I look at the Houses in Love a bit differently. I have recently been giving thought to branching out, career wise. The Lovers can often indicate a major decision in one's life, usually the difficult decision whether to go with the safe choice (what your head tells you to do), or the risky option of following your heart. When this card comes up, I almost always (depending on the surrounding cards) see it as a sign to follow one's heart.

The Star gives the green light to the Lovers' choice. It's "in the stars", so to speak. This is the path that is destined, or comes from a higher calling. There is a peaceful tranquility, a feeling that all is well in the Star card, removing doubt from the equation.

And the House of Fortuna promises just plain fun! This card has a carnival feel to it, and while there may be some ups and downs to this decision, it looks like Lady Fortuna is on my side!

This trio of cards tells me that there is definitely something solid to my career contemplation, and it's not something I should disregard after just a bit of thought.

Home Sweet Home Tarot: Blue Moon Magic

Today I drew the Hermit's Abode, Empress's Castle and House of Moon.

I like the difference in wording between "abode" and "castle". The Hermit + Empress made me think "stay at home mom". I am quite the homebody, and my home is my castle. The Moon today made me think of dreams, magic and mystical things. I have been having a lot of very vivid dreams lately, some of them psychic, due to the meditating I have been doing. It's always fun to have a dream and see it come to life the next day.

The Moon also reminded me of the amazing lunar event coming up on New Year's Eve. It's a full moon, a blue moon, and a lunar eclipse! In addition, it's the last day of the year, last day of the decade, and my daughter's birthday. I really want this event to be magical. I am considering doing some sort of spell work (or conscious, focused intending) that night. Looking at the Hermit and Empress, I would like to focus on manifesting something magical for me and my kids, regarding our home life together.

The Hermit's Abode is simple, and gets a bit of a makeover in the Empress's Castle. It would be nice to be able to beautify our life more. And the house takes a trip in the House of Moon. This represents the physical move I still desperately want to make. I would be thrilled if this blue moon provides the magical metaphysical vortex in which I can manifest my intention.

Home Sweet Home Tarot: Staying Calm in a Crisis

This morning I checked one of my bank accounts, and was shocked to see that it was negative! I have not used this particular account for months, so there should be no reason that there should have been any activity on it. There was a $99 charge that I did not authorize, and that threw my account into negative, with insufficient funds fees to boot.

When I saw this, my heart just shriveled up, much like the house in the Death card. I did not need this headache three days before Christmas. I immediately emailed my bank and requested that they reverse the charges and remove the NSF fees. I have yet to hear back from them. I don't know how long something like this takes. I hope it can be settled soon, but I am not hopeful. Things of this nature always take longer than I'd like them to.

In the Death card, I see the sad state of the account. The expression "in the poor house" came to mind from the imagery. In Strength, I see the big house as the bank, and me as the little house. I am basically under their power, and hope that they remove the charge as requested. It's not something I would ever be bothered to go to court over, so worst case scenario, they will tag on several NSF fees (at $40 a pop) until I can scrape up the money to pay it off. I am really hoping it doesn't go that way.

Temperance tells me to relax. Keep cool. Don't get too emotional about it. Strike an even balance between standing up for myself, yet not getting overworked about it. Everything will work out, one way or another. Either my bank will remove the charges, or I will find a way to manifest the money to bring my account back to a positive balance. I'm very glad this card came up, because that is what I needed to hear, but wouldn't have been able to look at it so objectively myself.

Side note: I don't quite "get" the image in the Temperance card... maybe someone can shed some light on it for me.

Home Sweet Home Tarot: Drowning Dream

This week I'll be working with a self-published Majors-only deck called "Home Sweet Home Tarot: Where the Majors sleep at night". I bought this deck for myself a couple months ago, with money my mom had given me for my birthday. It's a limited print run of only 20 copies. I thought the idea behind the deck was extremely unique, and I loved the artwork and colors.

This morning I drew the House of a High Priestess, Hanging House and House of the World. These cards refer to a dream I had last night.

In my dream, my son told me there was a black widow spider that he was trying to feed. I was shocked that he let us spend the night asleep in a room with a black widow without telling me. I took a closer look, and it wasn't a black widow. The red markings were on its back, rather than its abdomen. And instead of two joining triangles, it had two joining diamonds. I freaked out and started spraying it with water, trying to drown it to death (which ties into my reading yesterday). I frantically told my son to get furniture polish so I could spray it with something more toxic. He didn't know what I was talking about.

Then the spider ran out of the room, and down the hall and fell through a large grate (like the ones leading to a sewer, but it was about the size of a king bed.) The grate led down to a very deep well with water at the bottom. I started spraying the spider, which was hanging by a thread from the grate, trying not to fall into the water. I opened my spray bottle and dumped the whole thing of water on it, and it fell down. But suddenly there was a large wooden raft floating in water only about ten feet down. The spider fell on that, and then suddenly it turned into a little girl. She was wrapped in a blanket and all I could see was her face. Her freezing cold, shivering, scared face. I was horrified. She started slipping off the raft, and there was no way I could open the grate to save her. She slid off the raft as it capsized. I turned the raft back over, but she was gone.

The High Priestess refers to my dream, which was of a metaphysical nature, tying into yesterday's cards and the death of Brittany Murphy (I updated that post last night). The Hanging House literally shows the spider hanging from the grate, not wanting to fall into the water below. The cold and fear can be seen in the shaking movements of the house, which mimic the exact feelings I saw on the girl's face.

The World showed up to tell me that it's over. The cards and my dream were referring to Murphy's tragic death in water yesterday. I can let go of it now (the image of the World as a balloon made me think of setting it free). I am starting to get better about releasing the feelings I get when I see something sad in the cards that end up coming true, rather than letting the feeling consume me for longer than necessary. And for this, I am very grateful. It is my wish that I continually grow better and better at seeing what I'm supposed to see, in the cards (and my dreams) without being emotionally attached to what I see.

Tarot of the Master: Early Christmas Gift

I was tempted to use this deck for another week, because I am really enjoying the refreshing liberation from RWS interpretations. Instead, I will use it for one more day, and then I have decided to use this deck every day in 2010, in one way or another. I want to know what it's like to get to know a single deck intimately for such a long period of time. I will still be using a different deck each week for my daily draws here on the blog, but I may start another blog for my personal deck study.

I did two draws today, one with this deck, and one with the new deck of the week, which I will post later.

I was actually happy to see the Five of Bastoni appear again today, because it has showed up three times in the past week, and each time I saw something different in it. That is the beauty of this deck for me. Today I saw it as a menorah. We might be getting a visit from a family friend who is Jewish, but has recently asked me what my kids would like for Christmas. The Fante di Coppa shows a child grabbing a cup from the stack in the middle card, quickly, before a grown up gives the "wait until Christmas" speech! I see plenty of gifts in the Eight of Cups, so there's no reason to deny them this early pleasure.

Tarot of the Master - A Beautiful Disaster

The first card of today's Bastoni trio that drew my attention was the Five, which had come up for me the other day as a very explicit message. Today, however, what I saw in the image was very different (thankfully). I first saw hand made candles being hung to dry, with two of them already lit (the bows forming the flames). Then I did a brief scan of the other cards and came back to the Five. What I saw changed, and now instead of candles, I saw a wind chime. And now when I look at it, my view flips back and forth between the two images. So there is a very peaceful and almost spiritual feel to this card today.

The Three shows two oars and a trident sticking up out of the water. There is a crab and fish hanging by the oars, and a water dragon slithering through all three rods. Right away, I asked myself, "where is the boat?" as the reality of only the oars left indicated the boat had sunk. I heard the phrase "swimming with the fishes".

Then the middle card, the Seven of Bastoni, shows the union of rods of many different styles. I asked myself where in life do people of different walks of life come together in unity and harmony? And unfortunately, the sad answer was: in the face of tragedy. 9/11 came to mind. When there is a disaster that affects a lot of people at once, people put their differences aside for a brief moment in time and everyone gathers together as collective human beings.

So in the first card, I see some sort of death/tragedy at sea. The second card shows that this unfortunate occasion will bring a variety of people together. And the third card shows the peace that comes with death. The candles are lit and the chimes play soothingly in the wind. The angels in the last card bring home the idea of Heaven.

As I looked at these cards, the song "Beautiful Disaster" (by Kelly Clarkson) came to mind, because that's just what these cards look to me... a disaster, but also something beautiful. (I don't even know the lyrics to the song, though I have the CD and have listened to it many times. All I know are the words "beautiful disaster"... so I went to check out the lyrics, and the song starts out with the first two words, "He drowns..." which ties in amazingly with the sunken ship I saw in the first card. The song also features the words "heaven" and "tragedy", both of which I had just written in the previous paragraph. So, somehow, my subconscious mind linked to this very appropriate song.)

So... I really don't know what these cards are referring to today, and how long they will take to be realized. But I got a very strong feeling from them that is hard to deny. I will update here if I hear of anything.

Update: I found it interesting that my father just handed me a lotto ticket, and the first two numbers on it are 9 and 11. (Just hours before, I referenced 9/11 in this post.)

Another update: I just found out the sad news that actress Brittany Murphy died this morning at the young age of 32. I wonder if she was who my cards were referring to today. Being in the movies, she would have been someone whose audience included many people from different walks of life (VII Bastoni) and she was found in the shower, which eerily matches the death in water I saw (III Bastoni). In addition, there will likely be a candlelight vigil by her fans, which explains the candles I saw (V Bastoni). My heart goes out to her family, friends and fans.

Tarot of the Master - Christmas Tarot Readings

There seems to be quite the musical theme for me this week. The Four of Denari shows a display of musical instruments, along with "jingle bells" framing the card. This card made me think of Christmas music, which I have on right now.

The Magician is putting on a show, displaying his talent, while the Re di Spada looks on. The King holds out his sword to the Magician. He is an audience participant. With the holiday music playing from the third card, the first two cards illustrate the gift I will be giving to some of my family members this year. I'll be using my talent as a reader (Magician) and giving some of my loved ones 2010 readings.

The King is an authority figure, and all the people I will be gifting readings to are older than me, and most of them were at one point in a position of authority over me when I was a child. I recently read for someone who hasn't seen me since I was a teenager. She remembers me mostly from when I was a kid. She said it was a bit surreal hearing me with such a professional tone. This is the first time I will be reading for at least one of them, so it will be interesting to hear the response from the virgin sitters. :)

Hmmm... looking back at the keyword for the third card, it says "ungratefulness". Interesting. There is one person who I am on the fence about reading for. I haven't decided yet if I will give her a reading, because I'm not entirely sure how she would feel about it. (All the others are people who I have either already read for, or who have expressed an interest in having a reading.) So I think I will go with my intuition here and hold off on reading for this particular person, and let her come to me if she wants a reading. I'd rather have her wishing she had one, than wishing she hadn't!

Tarot of the Master: Meditation, Facebook and Ordination

Well today's cards were all over the place. They were accurate, but they all wanted to go their own way.

The Four of Swords in this deck is titled "Meditation" which is what I have been focusing on heavily this week. In this card, I see reprieve. The glove hangs the helmet to rest while the swords are tied together, preventing them from being easily accessible. I have been very dedicated with my meditation practice, and this card reminds me how important this is to my well being, to have a daily break away from all the activity of life.

The six rods in the middle card are fashioned together, with musical instruments beneath them. This card reminds me of a coming together, a festive social event. Several hours after drawing these cards, I joined Facebook for the first time. I have a feeling it won't be long before I am deleting my account. The online social networking sites just have never been my thing. I joined because I wanted to leave a note on someone's Facebook page, but couldn't do so without creating an account. I will spend a bit of time trying to figure it all out, before deciding whether to stay or not.

La Papessa is showing me a book. She has one hand on her thigh, as though she is not prepared to budge until I read what she is offering me. This ended up having an amusing outcome today. I went and got myself ordained today! I did it online. So I am now officially a Reverend/Minister. I can marry people! La Papessa is holding up my new spiritual credentials.

It's been quite an unusual day!

Tarot of the Master - To The Victor Go The Spoils

L'Imperatrice returns today. Since this deck predates RWS, this Empress does not display the maternal aspect of the Empress I am more familiar with. She is the feminine image of power and control. Yesterday, I saw her performing a musical wealth spell. Today, I see what will become of that.

When I looked at the following two cards, I heard the phrase, "To the victor go the spoils". The aftermath of battle is shown in the middle card. The swords have been hung, as the fight is now over. There is a helmet and armored glove on the ground, next to what looks grossly like brain matter. And the As di Denari shows the prize of coins (spoils of victory). L'Imperatrice has come out on top, and will receive the reward of victory.

I didn't have time last night to do the musical manifestation technique inspired by yesterday's cards. But after seeing today's cards, I will try to make time to do it tonight.

L'Imperatrice is one tough broad! For the past two days, she has given me a very strong feeling of power, which is something I would do well to emulate or channel. The dismembered brain matter I saw in the V Spade card gives me the feeling that I don't need to use my brain to try to manifest what I want right now. I need to follow my intuition and not over-think things. L'Imperatrice showed me yesterday what I needed to do, and today she gives me another nudge, showing me the successful outcome.
