Today's cards were immediately clear to me. The Queen of Wands is my favorite, wonderfully spirited aunt. The Page of Swords is my daughter. The Ten of Cups shows the close family bond between them. My aunt and I have always experienced a strong spiritual closeness. She was a second mother to me. So it's indescribably wonderful to expereince her connecting with each of my kids.
My aunt and daughter are a lot alike, in many ways. They are both Tauruses, and have a lot of similarities. The other day, my daughter wrote her a letter and put it in the mailbox to go out. That same day, the mail lady delivered a box to us from this aunt. So the mail that day was both to and from this aunt. Yesterday, I emailed her to tell her that we received her package, and told her the synchronicity of the timing. She emailed back shortly, saying she had just gotten my daughter's letter in the mail, and came online to thank her, and the email I had sent her about the timing was the first email she saw waiting for her in her inbox!
So that's what went through my mind when I first saw these cards this morning. The beautiful love and synchronicity between my aunt and daughter this week. I then wondered if they meant something else. Did it have any meaning for me, for my day ahead, or were the cards just confirming the loveliness of the relationship between my beloved aunt and daughter?
I was thinking of this question while selecting a rune. Were the cards about me or them? I was shocked with the answer I got. The rune that I drew was Isa. The keyword for this rune is ice. But it doesn't matter. I didn't need the keyword today. Because the question was whether the cards were about me or my daughter, and the rune gave me my daughter's name. Spelled out, clear as day. Isa. Technically, it's only the first half of her name. But damn clear enough. If only every reading was this simple!
I am falling hard for the runes this week! They have me quite spellbound.

The rune that I drew was Jera. The keyword for this rune is year. It's interesting because the day before this reading, I drew the rune meaning "day". There's a lot of timing symbolism coming up for me this week. Jera indicates harvest, or something coming full circle. I do feel a definite sense of closure that I was able to get to know what my dad was like, rather than never having known. I can now release the curiosity and regret and heartache that I experienced as a kid. That part of my life no longer has loose ends. It's time to move on now. I've been in close contact with him for two years now, as of this month. Jera says this relationship has come full circle, which it has.
The rune that I drew was Dagaz. The keyword for this rune is day. It's a symbol of light, prosperity, increase, growth, security, etc. It made sense to me that this rune would come with the Knight of Cups. While there is a rune that specifically indicates a "gift", this one also made sense with the words "increase" and "prosperity" in mind. 
It's springtime! Yay!!

flavor mixed in (which is one of my favorite tarot decks). Though it would not normally be a deck I could see myself buying, I was inexplicably drawn to this deck in the store... I had to have it. And that has only happened to me once before, with Froud's
