This week I'll be using my Halloween Tarot in Tin
along with an accompanying playing card from the newly released Halloween Playing Cards
by the same artist. (The playing cards feature the same artwork as the tarot deck, though only 52 of them.)
I haven't been posting because after my kids and I all recovered from pink eye, we all got colds. It really sucks when all you want to do is curl up in a ball and stay in bed all day recovering, but instead you have to run around all day long taking care of three other sick people.
So tonight I was getting ready to go to bed, just after midnight, when my son called from his room, "I threw up!" Oh my god. It was like a dam burst in his room. There was vomit everywhere. So I had to put him in the shower, clean his bed, and now I'm up washing his bedding and pajamas, which involves several loads of laundry, so I won't get to bed for another couple of hours even though I'm sick as a dog. Oh yeah, and my folks are coming into town tomorrow to stay with us for a week. So I've also been cleaning up and still have much to do to prepare the house for their arrival tomorrow.
So since I'm up, I thought I'd get a head start on tomorrow's cards, since I know I won't have time tomorrow. I asked what tomorrow would look like. The Seven of Ghosts (Cups) says there will be much to do, and I will have a hard time deciding what to do first. I can definitely see that happening tomorrow morning, for sure. The Ten of Pumpkins (Pentacles) can indicate a family gathering, especially with older relatives, so that makes sense with my parents coming to town. And I often think of traveling long distance when The World comes up, which refers to the two-day drive for my parents to get here.
The supplemental playing card I pulled was intended to be a general theme for the day. The Two of Diamonds is a card of give and take, sometimes a power struggle or needing to come to some sort of agreement. I think of it as a sign to find a win-win situation where there is conflict. An agreement that needs to be reached so that both parties will be happy or at least satisfied. I don't know how that will play out tomorrow. Maybe with my parents here, I can take a little bit of a rest for an hour or so.
The Diamond suit (in the Playing Card Oracles
method of cartomancy that I use) is paired with the element of fire. Coupled with the number 2, what quickly came to mind was two people with fevers. I really, really hope this isn't something that happens tomorrow. Because I've had just about enough sickess to last my family a great long while.

Oh, you poor things! I was wondering why you didn't post. I hope you all get well quickly now, that you get to rest and that the two of diamonds mean something else entirely!
By the way, I drew the ten of coins before a family gathering this week (last week) too! I was going to visit my grandmother together with my mother, so I thought of generations. Surprisingly, several more relatives and grandmother's best and oldest friends turned up too - one of my uncles even brought his dog! But there was more to it than that, sadly my grandmother who is ill and sitting in a wheelchair sort of got left out with all the noise and chatter going on. So the image was very spot on (I used the Universal Waite). I drew the Nine of Cups which turned out to be very literal too, and the Six of Cups, so I was sure it was going to be a happy occasion. But it didn't quite go that way for me. So after I got home I had to go a little bit deeper into the cards and I saw what was really going on. It was a very valuable lesson in how to read the cards on different levels! I have always gone for the deeper stuff, but it's really fascinating to see how literal the cards can be. Your blog has been very inspiring in that respect!
I hope you get to have a nice week with all of your family! xx
I know this all so well! Being single mom too with 6-years old twin pair, I've been going through s*** situations like this over and over *sigh
Wish you and your "brood" ;-) a quick recovery and a nice time with your family!!!

Sorry to hear about all that. We've been dealing with a lot of sickness and issues around here, but with animals.
Maybe the 2 of diamonds (fire) just means your folks are coming over and are raring to help take care of the kids so you can get some rest. One can hope. :-)
I will read your book in some free time. They seem to me interesting pick for the Halloween time. :)
Hello, Kiki,
I do hope you and yours are feeling much better.
Bright Blessings,
Trenda
