How I wish this title post was referring to the new movie Contagion. Alas, it is not. It is referring to the spread of pink eye through our family. I thought my son was safe and out of the woods, but it looks like he's not. A few years ago, he narrowly escaped the chicken pox outbreak the girls had, by contracting a single pock mark. So I thought his mighty powers of immunity would keep him safe from contracting this dreaded pink eye we have all succumbed to. But this morning he woke up with signs of it.
I drew these cards this morning, and my eyes followed the yellow orb through each of the cards. (Major TMI alert: Pink eye is accompanied by yellow gunk oozing out of one's eyes. Completely disgusting. It seals your eyes shut during the night so you can't open them in the morning.) So that's what I saw... the yellow orb is the contagion, and it has moved from the females in the house (right between the High Priestess's eyes) into the Knight of Pentacles card. He represents the messenger, carrying the contagion (pentacle) to the third card, where my son lies sleeping. The orb is just appearing at the top of the Nine of Swords. It's in the beginning stages. And it was in bed, waking up, that he discovered that he might have it too.
At this point, I only hope that it ends with him, and doesn't loop back around to the girls again. My middle daughter's eye looks red again this morning. I really hope she hasn't caught it again. We have been sanitizing and washing like crazy. I just want this to end already! My folks are planning to stay with us for the week of my birthday and stay until Halloween, but I don't want them coming if we are still infected. I'd really hate for them to cancel their trip. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll be done with this nightmare within the next two weeks.

I remember having that when I was a kid. Conjunctivitis, yeah? The same thing? Used to hate waking with it.
That 9 of Swords might be expressing panic about cancelling the visit, but I imagine it won't come to that from this card.
And I have to say, what interesting cards. That Knight of Pentacles is great. Almost worth buying the set for him without seeing the rest of the cards, hehe.
Hope you all get better soon!
Yep, one and the same! :( One of those sucky parts of life.
I agree what you said about the 9 of Swords and my anxiety at the prospect of postponing my parents' trip. But this card is usually about unfounded fears, so hopefully it won't come to that.
Thanks hon!
