Aug. 3 - Three of Shields (Craftsman)
Today is my oldest sons bone marrow test. The back up card was the Sun.
I feel these are good signs that everything will be fine.
Or could this be pointing to my job situtation?

Aug. 5 - Death
Well since my interview at the Civic Center a friend called and said her co. is looking to hire someone in C.S. - To take the place of another friend who is leaving. So yesterday I filled out the app. and when I got home there was a message to call! Today is my interview. I feel there are big changes coming my way and they are shown by this card. Maybe not with this company....maybe not with the Civic Center....but big changes just the same. I can FEEL it!

Aug. 6 - Maiden of Pipes
I saw this as a call to rebuild my confidence in myself as I have been disappointed in not hearing from the CC. So I wnt up there and talked with my interviewer and found out the position has not benn filled yet. So I again expressed to her my interest in the job.

Aug. 8 - The Moon
Funny I drew this because just a few days ago I started being drawn to the Trinity symbol. I say this because in theis deck there are 3 moons on this card.
"The threshold between life and death"
Another sign of changes? New beginnings?
Yes that's what I see. Its telling me to be inspired - changes are coming my way.
And they have already started as I got news this am that one of my dearest Sisters is leaving our Circle. I wish her well on her journey and may she be blessed.

Aug. 9 - Chief of Shields
steady, trustworthy, driven
I take this as a sign that I should drive forward with my plan on contacting the woman in charge at the CC.
Turns out I was recommended for a 2nd interview - but I also received a call from the other co. wanting me to sign a release form for a background check. I then went to the bank to check up on my credit report and although it's not great the rep said it should keep me from getting either job. That my recent credit history shows my loan being paid on time every time.

Aug. 10
As I was shuffling, 4 cards fell from the deck. I continued shuffling but stared at the cards. Then I realized they were the cards for the day.
Teh first card was THE MEDICINE WHEEL (Wheel of Fortune). I couldn't see the other cards.
So I took them and laid them out.
The Medicine Wheel (This is the card for the day.)
Continual change - attainment and joy moined together with luck.
The back up cards are:
Corn Maiden (High Priestess) - achieving a goal through action
The Lovers - an attractive force that joins two entites
3 of Pipes (Joint Effort) - Hubby and I working together to keep the home front a strong foundation
What does this all mean? Well, I feel I will be going to work very soon. And whatever job it is will required Hubby and I working together to keep things at home running smooth.

-JULY 3 - Nine of Shields  (Thunderbird)This makes me have a big ole smile!  My card!  It always makes you feel good to draw your card!  I am on a path of spiritual revival right now so this card on this day makes perfect sense!  "The essence of Thunderbird is the element of growth through change.  Change of scene, change of mind - using common sense and intutition for spiritual as well as material gain."
-JULY 4 - The Devil
In this deck The Devil is a comfussing card.  In most decks this card would refer to materalism but not this deck.  "The Devil in this deck is not evil - only illusive.  The Devil essentially refers to the main principle of all magical work - the unity of opposites."  That statement - the unity of opposites - is the key for me.  This I think is again referring to this spiritual revival or awakening that I am searching for.  My re-researching Christian Witchery.
-JULY 5 (our anniversary) Seven of Pipes   (Counting Coup)
I figured today being our anniversary I'd have drawn anything but this card.  However this card stands for a strong connection, a power to oevercome and that suits us well!  Weve managed to stay together all these years and I look forward to staying with Hubby for the rest of my days and for the eternity to come.
-JULY 6  (my anniversary - lol)  Seven of Pipes   (Counting Coup)
Two days in a row.  So I dug a little deeper.  Physically this card stand for sucess against great odds.  We certainly have that.  Just before our wedding my MIL's regular reader told her that we wouldn't make it.  We had lots of problems but were still together.  Emotionally its personal security - beliveing in yourself.
Again this suits us well for we've managed to stay together through it all and as long as we continue to depend on eacxh other we will do well in lifes struggles.
-JULY 8   STRENGTH
I love this card in this particular deck espically.  It represents a quite strength.  The physical strength is secondary.  This card represents the strength that come with age and wisdom - at least that's what I'm seeing today.
I drew a complimentarty card as well - the Warrior of Blades - this card has lots of movement on it - heck you can even SEE the wind in the trees!  Active and skillfull
Combining the two - I must be skillful in the ways I use my strength to keep the pieces falling together in the way they should.
I just realized that the feeling I get from the Strength card is very similar to what I asked for in the chant I used over the cucumbers!
-JULY 10   Maiden of Vessels
This card - "unsurpassed as a helpmate" reminded me to stand behind Hubby and support him - no matter how mad and upset I may be with him at the moment.
-JULY 13 - Maiden of Vessels
Again???  This concerns me and brings questions to my mind as I"ve (just recently) decided I need to return to work.  Is this the right decision?  That's what this card makes me ask myself.  How could it be the wrong decision?  The Maiden of Vessels is the unsurpassed helpmate.  What would be of more help right now than a second income?
-July 15   Nine of Shields  (Thunderbird)
A good sign for the coming day.
My SIL called and said one of her patients had a trailer to give away.  We're going to have a look Sunday - its possible we could turn ours into a double wide!  AND there was extra money in Hubbys pat to cover his travel expenses.  That really helped!
-July 17   The Devil
As I've said before not your typical materilist meaning, and it's a hard one for a daily because it really takes the surronding cards to interpute it.  But I see it as a good sign today.  Its the middle sons BD and friends are coming over to camp out.  Myabe its just a warning of the temptations of youth and my son, being who he is, this tells me just to keep an extra special eye out for him. 
Just realized this is card #15 and my sons 15th BD.
-July 20   The Stars
Funny cause when I pulled a card our of RW deck for Sister Air I turned that deck over and The Star was showing.  Inspiration is what these cards stand for and I believe my spiritual inspiration is returning to me.  I want to do and use m;y craft - it had faded for awhile - now it is returning - bringing and showing balance.
-July 22   Madien of Pipes and Five of Shields  (cultivation)
The reason for two cards today is that they kinda stuck together.  They had a message for me, the two of them together.  The maiden shows confidence and the 5 of Shields shows cultivation.  My first inclination about these cards was that I was to lead my son through his learners permit test.  But this was wrong and I realized it not long after I put my cards away.  These two cards are showing me that I must have (regain) confidence in myself if I am to achieve my goals and find a job that I like and that is right for me.
-July 23  Nine of Blades   (Polygamy)
This card warns of self-made traps and the 9 of Swords in the RW deck tells of worry.  How true.  I see now that even more clearly the meaning of yesterdays cards.
-July 24  Eight of Blades   (Capitve)
In general this card says that balance must be maintained in order to achieve strength and harmony.  In the RW deck it is a reminder that ther are options, even in the most restricting situtation.  I see this as a pep talk.  Not to sink into a "woe is me" way of thinking.  There are jobs out there.  Finding the right one and then being hired is the trick.  I AM NOT GIVING UP!
-July 25  Warrior of Blades
I see this agian as a pep talk.  That I must get in there and work for what I want.  Have courage.  Pitch myslef and let potential employers know just how good I am.  Fight the Good  Fight
-July 26   The World
(My spirit animal is the Turtle)  I'm planning to try to get on at teh Civic Center today and I pull this card!  I think this is very promising as it can represent an end as well as a beginning.  (A completion)  Can also show struggle and hurdles ahead.  But new jobs always bring that.  I'm excited!
-July 27   The World
again???   I'm all smiles
Well after today spent with the specialist, I think this was pointing at the changes in my world.  My son has ITP_.  This will be a big change for him.  Deciding if football is worth steriods.  Getting a second opinion.  Other sports for him to get involved in.  My thoughts are swimming in a slew.
-July 28   Seven of Cups  (Vision Quest)
Looking for inner tranquility is a bit tough right now.  But I can see where this would be important as a guidance card at this point.
-July 29   Eight of Pipes  (Smoke Signals)
To watch for some news - to receive a message.
Received 2 important calls - one for an interview at the civic center.  The second from the doc saying that basically my son is OK - still some things we have to do but basically everything is ok.
July 30  Ace of Shields
This is the day of my interview, and so I'm excited!
I thought the interview went well.  I thought they were gonna hire me on the spot.  But as of Aug. 5 I even though I did call to follow up I still haven't heard from them. 


SUMMARY
I pulled 19 cards.
3 Shields
4 Pipes (one Maiden)
3 Vessels (the Maiden I pulled twice)
3 Blades (one was the Warrior)
6 Majors - The Devil (pulled twice), Strength, Stars, and The World (pulled twice)

I did this a little different this month - since I actually got around to pulling several cards this month. (19 as a matter of fact!)

I layed them out, one by one, in the order they were pulled for the month. For the cards that were pulled twice - they stayed in the spot from where they were first seen. I did this to see if I could put together a story.
I saw change in the first few cards, worry in the middle and success toward the end. This seems to sum the month up fairly well - except I'm still waiting for the success part - maybe the cards are pointing to success in the upcoming month of August. I can actually feel it though - success.

-June 3 - The Moon
This card is pointing to the on-line coven and our current problem.  "The Moon is the guide who shows the way home."
The Moon will show us the way to come together if we will trust her guidance.  Prayer and Meditation is the answer.
-June 6 - Four of Shields  (The Silence)
Much like the 4 of Cups in the R-W deck.  A time of inward searching, inner tranquility and peace.
I felt the need to draw a second card, I got the Matriarch of Vessels.
I think this card represents me; the card is based on the Creek/Seminole tribes and the woman is by flowing water.  "The Matriarch of Vessels is able to receive and transmit without becoming personally involved ."  Other qualities are tranquility, intuitiveness and personable.<br>In pairing these two I see I should use my strengths to help myself.
As a sign fo the day ahead?  (My Sister Air is coming for a visit!  I'm so excited!)  I got the Matriarch of Pipes - kindly, generous, and friendship!
The visit with my Sister Air was wonderful!  I feel so much closer to her.  I think we made an ever deeper connection.  I can actually see how all three cards related to the day.
-June 8 - Ace of Pipes  
"strength and introspection" - "a time when lifes direction has been found"
according to my R-W book "courage and personal power"  -  a confident energy
I wonder if this is pointing to our pst life projecty, that I should work past my fears of venturing into this area?
-June 9 - Five of Blades  (Spiritualist)
This card can stand for a time in which someone comes to terms with the non-materialist side of life.  I can really see this and how it realtes to me right now.  What with no job, but we are managing....all my projects....the garden, the worms, recycyling, farmers mkt. etc., etc., etc.  But I think it might also be related to the color play as we are studying white right now and white is the color of spirituality.
I went to the farmers market today and got more specfics as to what I have to do to sell Hubbys produce there.  We can sell the worms too, after all they are a locally raised product.  I also planted those flowers that Momma gave me.  They have beautiful little white blooms that are kind of odd shapped - White?  Spirituality?  I think it's all connected.
-June 10 - Three of Vessels  (Corn Dance)
I seem to be very connected to this card, or at least it seems to show up quite frequently.
celebration, friendship and community   -   I feel this is pointing toward the work my coven and I are doing with past lives.  "The essence of Corn Dance is stability and clarity of vision that will bring many rewards."
-June 13 - Warrior of Vessels
"sensitive to external influences"   -   A warning not to let outside influences (other people) persuade my thinking.
-June 14 - Council Chief
authority, regulation, structure   -   At first I thought this was poiniting directly to something going on with my Hubby, but after careful consideration I've decided that what it is, is that I need to bring some structure into my life, follow some guidelines - get organized!
-June 18 - Medicine Woman
Today is my visit with Sister Air and it's funny that I pulled this card after spending time making a friendship potpourri for her - as Medicine Woman would be today's herbalist.  I also believe this card referes to a growing bond between the two of us.  I think too that together the two of us can create some wonderful and magickal things.  The Medicine Woman bonds all forums of nature.
On the day of our visit we were visitied by two spiders.  I feel they were weaving our friendship - as this card showed a bonding.  Its also weird how much the two of us have talked "herbs" since seeing this card.
see the Sister Air entry in my BOS - here: http://ocaleesbos.blogdrive.com/
-June 25 - Seven of Shields  (Trail of Tears)
assesment, reward, direction   -   Before doing this draw my mind was occupied with thoughts about the possible job change that my Hubby is contemplating.  So I feel that is what this card is pointing to.  In my notes on this card I wrote, "Reward or Growth after Effort or Struggle".  We've surley had our share of struggle.  I think this card is telling me that we should certainly take this opportunity under consideration - serious considerationl.  I think I'll do a full spread concerning this situtation as well.


SUMMARY
Once again I am setting a poor example - 8 cards.
For someone who planned on being on the ball I sure did drop it!
As a summary I can't really tell too much.

I had 3 majors and one of the minors was a court card - a Warrior.
That leaves 4 regular cards, 2 being Shields.
Over all I'd say the summary shows balance and I feel I did have a blanced month. But other than that I can't tell much.

-May 4  Medicine Wheel (Wheel of Fortune)
"This card represents the continually changing universe.  Here is the supreme unity of attainment and joy ruled by that uncalculable factor - the element of luck."
Wheel of Forutne - twists of fate, or luck....rapid movement  - but in shich direction?
This confusses me as I've just recently come to the conclusion that my life is currently at a stand still.  Hubby just said yesterday that he felt nothing was happening in his life and is just waiting for his time to run out.  I feel this means something exciting - good or bad - is about to happen soon.
-May 5  Matriarch of Blades
"individuality and strong mindedness, acutely preceptive, keenly ovservant, an accurate and subtle interpreter."
I'm clueless, just like yesterday.  I do feel the discription is accurate for be....but...????  The Queen of Swords indicates honesty, wittiness and experience....mmmm....
Figured it out!  Be straight forward and honest in a "certain" situtation that I'm dealing with right now.  Don't beat around the bush!
-May 6th   Six of Blades (Journey)
I love this card - the art is beautiful! but....I don't get it, journey?  Again, I'm stumped and don't have a clue as to what it could mean.
-May 8th  Four of Vessels (Pregancy)
"a time for new beginnings, a time for keeping calm and planning carefully for the future."
I know exactly what this is pointing to.  The same situtation as the Matriarch of Blades was pointing too.  But now it's telling us to plan carefully for the future.
-May 9th - Mothers Day  The Sun!
No explanation needed here!  Makes me smile.
The boys and I went to my brothers, spent time with his family and my folks.  Everyone had just the most wonderful time!
-May 10th  Six of Shields (Give Away Dance)
give and take
Hubby stayed home and mostly did things his way, till he tried to tell me my business about picking up the boys.  Some how I manage to do that everyday without his help.  I was just furious.  Came home and told him how I felt.  He apologized saying after I stormed out he realized that I do that everyday.  He was just trying to help.  Then everything was fine.  The gentleman who owns the farm said he may need my help in the next couple days. 
But after thinking on this some more I've realized that this card keeps popping up for me.  Is there a message somewhere.  Am I truely so selfish that my cards must keep reminding me to take time and enjoy my loved ones?  Or is there some gift I've been blessed with that I need to share.  I don't know this just has me stumped, and kinda worried
-May 11th  Four of Pipes (Honor)
The first thing I thought of was the honor in staying home, not working and tending to the family.  Not sure if this is the correct interputation after reading the book...."honour is success attracted by foresight and humility".  So I looked to the R-W deck, Four of Wands....excitiment, celebration.  Well tonight is the middle son's 8th Grade Awards Banquet and it is close to time to send in the oldest scholarship application and award letter.  We shall see.
"honour is success attracted by foresight and humility"  <br>During my morning run I thought a little more about going into business for myself....raising worms.  Could work, success attracted by foresight.  This isn't the first time we've thought about doing this.  The first time was with the middle son, but he was discouraged when he found out that it usually takes a year to see profit; but I can wait a year. -May 13th - The Devil
The Devil in the N/A deck isn't like the Devil of the R-W deck, which deals with materialism.  This devil deals with the principles of magick and it also represents the Earth.  Some how I see this pointing to my on-line coven and the cleansing were just completeing.  I believe it is now time for us to grow.  But more close to home, I hope this represents a new beginning for me.
-May 15th - Three of Vessells  (Corn Dance)
I hope this doesn't mean that we're losing an elder.  Or maybe it means I should be the elder to leave.  To get out of the way - remove an obstacle.  It just seems that everything is at odds right now.  Or maybe it's just me.  Maybe it means we need to rekindle the flame that brought us together in the first place so that we may continue with the energy we once had.  This gives me many things to think on.
Well, it is now clear to me what this card represents!  My dearest Sister is coming home.  At least she's trying to.  She has submitted some resumes to company's here and is actively house hunting.  There will be 3 of us living in the state of TN.  That would be the since of community represented by the card!  I'm so excited for her!  And she told me last night that she is at peace with her decision.  I know this will be hard for her, but I'm here to help and so is our Sister Air.  This is an exciting time!
-May 17th - Eight of Shields  (Sand Painter)
"The essence fo Sand Painter is luck through spiritual and artistic pursuits.  But one must remain in tune with nature."
I see this telling me I've got some hard work ahead.  Probably just in preparing for the middle son's 8th grade graduation.
-May 18th - Three of Blades  (Mourning)
I think this reflects my mood instead fo something in my day.  Hubby was so downhearted this morning before work and I'm at a loss.  After all these years I feel his pain very deeply and I'm sad for him.


SUMMARY

The link below is for a daily Meditation Tarot.

-April 3   The Hermit
I don't see me as a hermit today - we have lots of "spring" things planned; mowing, cleaning, gardening, etc.  But I see this as a great energy card telling me to accomplish these things in my way.<br>Also it tells me to remember my oldest in my thoughts and prayers.  He is the hermit of the family and is going to do construction work with his uncle today.
-April 5   Corn Maiden  (High Priestess)
"....has latent within her all the potential of the Goddess of Fertility"  I think on the above quote as I hear the tiller running outside, Hubby preparing the garden spot.  With me not working I feel the garden will be more important this year than ever and I need to learn to can.
-April 6   Three of Shields    The Craftsman
material prosperity
But I see this as pointing to my time with my SIL and sharing in the care of her new baby.
-April 8   Matriarch of Vessels
loving, caring, kind, and intutive
took care of the house, cleaning, cleaned some of the storage stuff out of the barn - getting rid of extra baggage, but I feel the explanation of this card has to do with going the school for my youngest sons Easter party.
-April 9   The Sled
The card of movement, and the self made person.<br>Funny because during meditation Turtle told me to enjoy this time of slowing down and taking care of my family. Maybe this is just saying to stay prepared for anything - not to let my sharpness drop during this time off.
Acutally it coulda pointed to the day in generally.  It seems I spent the whole day in the Blazer.  Went to my brothers, bout a 30 minute drive, then into the small nearby town for lunch, went back home and dropped of the boys, went to get my hair trimmed, came back to get the boys and go shopping for Easter clothes for them, came home, wasn't long after that Hubby got home and we went back to town for supper - lots of movement!
-April 10   Council Chief (Emperor)
I feel this card is pointing to Hubby and a possible conflict, not a major conflict though, between him and his step-dad.  Hubby has been doing so good, no cigs and doesn't hardly drink anymore.  I see this being a problem over Easter cause SDIL will be expecting Hubby to play.  I see Hubby refusing and a problem arising - after all they are both the "father/authority"  SDIL to Hubby as he was growing up and of course Hubby is now.
Everything went well!
-April 12   I just wonder which card would've showed itself today had I had time to draw a card.  It was just a bad day, Hubby's van broke down and he was an hour away.  A neighbor (thankfully) took a truck and trailer to pick him up.  My oldest didn't feel good and I picked him up from school early.  Just one of those days.
-April 13   Chief of Blades
Not sure how this relates to me but can see it relating to Hubby and his poltical role on the commission. 
I think he needs to be honest with these people about his feelings.  He needs to stand up for himself and the chairperson.  Above all he needs to stay true to himself in this situtation and be on the defensive.
-April 14   Six of Shields (Give Away Dance)
Just had to smile when I saw this card.  I had wanted to spend my myself, meditating, working with my cards, writing in my journals and reading, but by the time I'd dropped the kids off at school it hadn't turned out that way.  I ran into the man who owns the farm we live on.  Someone had plowed down a fence, he was going to check on it and wanted me to go have coffe with him.  Told me to go home and he'd pick me up in a bit - that's when I drew my card.  As I looked at the card I heard his diesel pull up.  After all whats' it gonna hurt for me to spend some time with him, ridin' around and drinking coffee.  He has been so good to me and my family.
-April 15   Four of Blades (The Scout)
A time of choices and decisions
Nothing major happened.  Am helping to develop some excerises for my coven.  A friend came by and the first workds from her mouth were "I'm beginning to think my decision wasn't so smart."  Think this card is just reminind me that the little daily decisions we make are just as important as the bigger one because all decisions not only effect me but everyone around me in some fashion.
-April 16   Six of Shields (Give Away Dance)
Again being taught the lesson of giving of myself and my time.  I spent most of my day at the school.  My middle son had a softball game.  I sat with my youngest son for some of the girls game, then visited with friends from church whos son/husband is in Iraq.  Then moved in closer to watch my son's game.
-April 17   Eight of Blades (Captive)
balance - I do need some balance in my life.
-April 19   Nine of Vessels (The Wish Card)
In general this card means success.
When I put my last 3 draws together....6 of Shields, 8 of Blades and today the 9 of Vessels I feel it means I shoudl really try for the medical office job.  I'd be giving away my time off, be bringing financial balance back and have a well paying job AND we wouldn't have to move....that is my wish!Well, I went to America's Job Bank and there was a shipping/receiving job that pays $9.00 an hour and really close by.  Now that would be a nice job!  Turned in my resume.  Hubby says not to look too hard for a job.
-April 20   Sun Dance (Hanged Man)
OK, so I was just the other day, wondering when this card was gonna show for me.  Stay still, let go and wait.  It seems the card is the perfect symbol of my life right now as I seem to be going nowhere.  In the book it says this about the Sun Dance...."This card represents the symbolic death, the annililation of self, that represents the first and final steps in the process of attaining the rank of adept."
So, with the previous 3 cards I think this is telling me not to be to anxious.  The right job will come at the right time.  Heck, maybe Hubby is on the verge of a big raise and I won't have to go back to work.  But mostly I should "Let Go and Let God"!
-April 21   Five of Pipes (Stickball)
competition; gain through effort  
This could point to so much in my life right now, the job situtation, my getting back into and concentrating on running again, even to something as simple as the start of softball season.
Pain through effort; now that I can put to work for me.
OK, so I got a call today, the place in Morrison wants an inteview tomorrow!  Gain through effort?  Put my best foot forward at the interview.
competition?  As depressed as it is around here I'm sure there will be lots of competition for the job.
-April 22   Nine of Shields (Thunderbird)  *my card*
Sucess after change...."element of growth through change"<br>Looks promising for th ejob.  Will keep my emotions in check though.<br>Growth through change - if I get the job we can buy a home more quickly, sure was looking forward to having the summer off
OK, don't have the job yet, just do my best at the interview
-April 23   Three of Shields (The Craftsman)
Going by the meaning of this card in this deck - material prosperity.  Could this mean that my interview did go as well as I thought?  With the benefit pkg. available there we could do well within a few years time.  Apparently I'd be working - basically - alone, responsible for myself and no one elese.  That's good!
What with the vehicle trouble this is a sign of hope.
-April 24
I did a yes/no reading today using the kachina knife spread.
My question was will I get the job?
..........3
....1............2
..........4
..........5
Cards 1 & 2 - heart of the matter
1.  3 of Vessels (Corn Dance)
2.  10 of Blades (Ruin)
Well, I see this as my family and the state of ruin I feel we are in with the car situtation.
Card 3 - past influences
6 of Pipes (Victory)  Well, I have a great recommendation from a former customer!
Card 4 - present influences
2 of Blades (Travios)  Slow movement
Card 5 - future
Warrior of Pipes
I feel like this shows that I have a very good chance at the job, but I don't feel this a definate yes.  But at the same time I shouldn't doubt myself.
Well, they didn't call me for a second interview.  Apparently I'm not getting this job.  I think the Warrior of Pipes indicates that I have a great energy and that I should just keep plugging away.  The urgency of the vehicle problem has subsided so I don't feel that pressure anymore.  I think we will be OK.
-April 29   Six of Blades  (Journey)
OK I know I'm not going anywhere - physically.  Hubby is coming home tomorrow and I have to go to the airport to pick him up.  I'm slightly concerned over this - espically remembering the 10 of Blades in the reading above.  You see my coven sisters (elders) all have had fire experiences this week, then Hubby and his friend yesterday saw what they thought was a plane on fire.<br>But this is probably just pointing to the growth (on all levels) that I'm looking for and my plans were to start putting forth that effort today.


SUMMARY
(The cards drawn for the reading are not included in this summary.)
I drew 5 Major cards.
I drew 2 court cards, 1 Matriarch, 1 Chief.
I drew 4 Blades, 2 Vessels, 5 Shields and 1 Pipe. 
Not a very well balanced month.  Most of my cards we're Shields.  Frankly that is no surprise, what with the finical stress.  But I'm a bit puzzled, I see no other pattern.  Nothing pointing the way or giving inspiration.
The card that sticks with me the most from this past month is the Sun Dance as I seem to be iin limbo.  Even the reading my Sister did for me shows stillness, no movement - nothing....
The one thing I do see is how well my draw for this past month reflected to particular day it was drawn for.  No more, no less.

Compared to last month....
the energies of the court cards may be balanced for a time as I drew one Matriach and one Chief.  At least I do have one Pipe for the past month - so maybe my energy is on the rise.

time to fight, stand my ground, hold my own
 - March 3,     MATRIARCH OF SHIELDS  'Mother Earth" 
Kind, caring, big hearted, quiet and hardworking
I feel like I didn't follow the card - I feel like I was mean all day
 - March 4,     Today I drew 2 cards     FIVE OF BLADES - looking inward, leaning on the inner guide - this tells me I should look at the big picture and think of myself
THE SLED - movement, self-made, and strong  - I believe I should play these cards together for future plans.
spoke with C/B about a reference letter, they said I should come to work for them - in TX?
 - March 5,     WARRIOR OF VESSELS
I see this card way to much and I dont like him.  I see that today will be very emotional.  I must stay in control.
Was an extremely emotional day - but I did good - even with the offer CB made.  I dont' think anyone elese p.u. on my emotions
 - March 6,     I drew 2 cards today    SEVEN OF BLADES  (Horse Theif)
good things a-coming - achievement and progress after conflict
and DEATH - I see the Seven of Blades not as a daily card - but as a close future one.  The only thing I can see it pointing at for today would be the PowWow and working out the details of our future booth with my MIL.  And the Death card I see as a complimentary card.  Good things are coming after a major change and a tough time.
 - March 8,     Two of Shields  (Kachina Juggler)
attaining balance - This is the first day of the last week of work - driving to 45 min. one way
I can see where this card fits - what with the near future aspect of being unemployed.
from the book...."This is the time for detachment and examination of all aspects of a situtation."
 - March 9,     Matriarch of Pipes - stay strong and self assured
I needed a little extra dose!
 - March 10,    The Stars - spiritual and physical balance
I  need to start running again to help this aspect of my life.     from Joan Bunnings book...."most welcome when despair has flooded our life."     promise of peace of mind
 - March 11,     The Moon - threshold of life and death, holds out the promise that all you can imagine can be yours, lost and wandering - must find way back
I see all these things are true right now, what with leaving my current job and the hope of a new one on the way
 - March 12  (last day of work)     two cards     Ace of Vessels - fullfillment or renewal of love
Five of Blades - lean on inner guide<br>last day of work - time for me and mine - leave the discord of work behind - renewal of love for self and family
 - March 14,     Seven of Blades  (Horse Thief) - achievment and progress after conflict
I drew this card on PowWow day; since we plan on going to MIL's to measure for the boys ragaila today I think this card is saying we will find sucess on the PowWow trail.
 - March 15,     Maiden of Vessels - new emotions, new way of life
from book...."infinetely gracious, sweet, voluptous, gentle, kind and tender....incurable romantic, unsurpassed as a helpmate"
I see this card as showing how i hope to act in my new role as stay at home mom - even if it is temporary.  But it is something I'll have to work on.
 - March 17,     Nine of Shields - sucess through and after change
I thought this might be a fluke because my card kept popping in and out of my thoughts during meditationas I've been concentrating on it alot lately.  So I drew another card, but ended up with two in my hand.
Warrior of Shields - slow ponderous energy of growth - overblown ambition and procrastination are the perils of this card
Medicine Woman (The Empress) - from the book, "The meaning is that wishing for the possible brings creative results, but blindly wishing for the impossible is self-destructive.
So I combined the meaning of all 3. - I should pray, hope, wish and meditate on what I want and set a goal.  From there I should work toward it, slow and steady (like a turtle) but not to be over abmitious and do not procrastinate.  This change in attitude should bring sucess.
 - March 19,     The Tower - The book says that in this deck the Tower deal with the emancipation from the establishment.  But I just can't shake the traditional meaning of the Tower.  So, since we are planning our day trip today I threw extra protection over all of us and our vehicle.  Although the emancipation aspect could be Hubby deciding to come on the trip with us.  I just have the feeling we should be extra careful.
     March 20 - today I found an oil leak in my Blazer.  I feel this is why I drew the Tower yesterday.  The kids and I had planned on going by ourselves in the Blazer.  Hubby coming with us and in his van was a last minute decision.  If the kids and I had struck out on our own in the Blazer yesterday it surely would have been a diaster.
 - March 20,     The Hermit - What I get from this is after yesterdays wonderful adventure, today will be a time to re-group.  Escpically since Hubby will be away all day.  I also feel I should be patient with the boys - be extra careful not to snap at them.
Funny thing is by the afternoon I was alone.  Hubby was off on his busineess trip and the kids all took off for their friends houses.  I had plenty of re-grouping time.
 - March 22<br>Eight of Cups  (Indolence) - "A warning to curtail self-deception"
Acorrding to the R-W deck this card (8 of Cups) is about leaving the past behind.  (In leaving you would need to guard against self-deception, I suppose.)  But I'm feeling the leaving is what the card is speaking of as today is the first real week of unemployment for me....and searching for my way.
 - March 23,     The Sun -   sucess, reward, confidence  !!!
When I pulled this card I thought it was too good to be true.  We've been working toward straightening out our credit rating - in fact I paid off a lot of stuff yesterday - maybe that's what the 8 of Vessels was pointing to!  So today I went to apply for a small loan to start rebuilding.  I explained to the loan officer what we were doing and were eventually planning to buy a house.  He thubed through all the paperwork and said, "Your well on your way!"  And we got the loan!
 - March 24,     The Sun again???  Two days in a row???
 - March 26,     The Fool - new beginnings, exciting, nervous
New job?  New house?  New finicial situtation?  Heck being a stay at home mom is a new experience for me and I'm so loving it!
 - March 27,     Matriarch of Vessels - tranquility, intuitive, loving, personable
I tried to figure this in for the day - but couldn't.  The only thing I could see was that hopefully, maybe, my SIL would deliver today - but she didn't.
 - March 28,     Strength - I know why this card is here.  I can pull from the energies of this card to deal with Daddy's cancer issue and as I look at this card I realize that it's strangley familiar.  It looks slightly like where my mind has been going during meditation.  It's tranquil and calm.  Again, qualities I can use in dealing with Daddy's issues.
From the book, "This card represents strength but also the joy of excerising that strength."
 - March 30,     Nine of Shields - What bigger change could happen for the entire family.  My nephew was born today!




SUMMARY  (In this summary I only counted the first card drawn on days that I drew more than one card.)
