Road Trip!

This past October I went on a road trip with my boyfriend and one of my best friends. We went to Asheville North Carolina for one night, and then down to Tampa for two nights for my cousin's wedding and lastly to New Orleans! Here are some neat pics from the trip.

A fiery three card spread

I read my own cards today, it was a quick three card spread. It was incredibly positive and exactly what I needed to see- that I am on the right track.

Three card spreads are used when you want to get an idea of where you are at and what is coming. I do this when I feel that I already have a good handle on things and just want to quickly check in on that feeling to be sure. For more complicated times and inquiries the longer spreads are better as they let you explore all possibilites and issues.

This reading was all wands. Wands are fire- and represent primal energy, the things that make us tick. It's the fire inside, fueling inspiration, creativity, determination and spirituality.

My cards were- in order: The Magician, the 8 of Wands, and the 2 of Wands.

Kicking things off with the Magician which is associated with the number 1 in the Major Arcana was a great start. It's the number of beginnings. I just moved in with my boyfriend so I'll assume it pertains to that. The Magician card holds all four suits of the Tarot on the table in front of him. These are to be used as tools to manifest your desires. It's a sign that now is a great time to act on achieving your goals, because you have all of the right things in order.

The next card was the 8 of Wands. This card works great with the Magician as it further signifies a great time to act on something. The wands are pointing forward, telling you to make your move!

 For me, I have felt like I was on the verge of great changes all year. It's now that I will want to make the leap. What it is that I want to leap into has to do with bettering myself and leaving old self-destructive habits behind for good.

Lastly the 2 of Wands as the final card shows planning and progress. The man in the card literally has the world in his hands. It's time to start planning, prioritizing and making solid decisions. When it is preceded by the Magician and the 8 of Wands this energy is solidly positive, and tells you that you will be successful in all that you do.

I've got a lot of projects to get started on!
