7 of pentacles and the queen of wands.  Today would be a good day to ponder the growth of my current projects.  Project Abbey is working at the piano, I love to listen to whatever she decides to play.  Project Ella is "reading" which means that she is turning every page in a large book.

6 of wands and Judgement.  Full moon in Libra tonight.  Today is the first day of spring break and everyone is a little giddy.  We all slept in past 8 and everything.  I'm just sitting here waiting for the parade...

 5 of wands and 10 of pentacles reversed.  Unconventionality is OK!  No need to fight it or even feel bad about it, just do your own thing the best you can.  The full moon is tomorrow, there has been a lot of practicing during the waxing so hopefully the waning will bring something interesting.

7 of cups and 9 of cups both reversed

9 of wands and page of cups.

Hermit reversed and the 8 of pentacles reversed. 

Page of Wands and the 5 of Pentacles.  I have this brilliant idea for a tarot journal, I need to have a page for each card cross referenced to this somehow, so that when I pull the 5 of pentacles again after a break from it I can see where I was the last time I had a run with it.  Today we celebrate Hilaria, where there are no negative thoughts allowed.  The page of wands signals the beginning of something interesting.  This could also be the beginning of the end of any sort of self doubt.

5 of cups and 9 of cups reversed.  Both of these cards carry the similar entreaty to not get too caught up in the losses of the past because there is always the current and present to attend to.  Worrying too much about what is lost will not help with the getting on with what is not lost.

Strength reversed and temperance reversed.  Time to start over and build it again.  Hopefully.  Happy Spring!  The moon is headed into Gemini later this evening and today is kin 241: Red Resonant Dragon
I Channel in order to Nurture
Inspiring Being
I seal the Input of Birth

I am guided by the power of Space

5 of cups and 10 of wands reversed.  Overtone storm, moon into taurus by noon.  I will attempt to cast down any sort of sorrowful feelings.  They are my family inheritance, though, but it is a sunny day and the birds are busy busy busy.

Ace of Cups and the Magician reversed.  The moon is heading into Aries and today is the self existing mirror.  Funny, I attempted to mirror some wacky thinking back at the partner parent and it caused a daffy demonstration. 

7 of Swords reversed and the 8 of Pentacles.  I like that 8 of pentacles, I like feeling motivated to work on the little things.  The 7 of swords reversed is a card about seeking help, maybe some lessons are in order?  I have been bandying about the idea of joining Bootsy's funk u, we'll see how much dough he wants for it.

The 3 bowls of wine ritual, the first promotes health, the second love and the third sleep.  Then comes violence, uproar, drunken revelry, black eye.  Today is the red electric earth and the first day of the bacchanalia.  What shall we do to celebrate?

Ella is in the midst of a unit out outer space at school so we are heading to the Adler Planetarium to take advantage of their free day, and maybe find inspiration for the project that is due in a few weeks.

Abbey is not being challenged by her school work, but is definitely being challenged by her social skills.  Therein lies my challenge in the world as well so I feel like I'm not helping her out like I should.

Ace of Wands reversed and the 8 of Pentacles.  Today is the new moon and also the yellow Lunar Warrior which has a nice little poem -

kin 236: Yellow Lunar Warrior
I Polarize in order to Question
Stabilizing Fearlessness
I seal the Output of Intelligence

I am guided by the power of Elegance

I am feeling blechy and out of sorts.  I'm glad to see that today is the start of something new all around because the past little while has not been ideal.  I will attempt to put that 8 of pentacles into practice today by doing the little things.  Today is the day to start the new pattern, same as the old pattern I suppose but without practice nothing is coming.

Ace of wands and the 10 of wands reversed.  Signifying the beginning of the throwing down of burdens.  Ok, I'm in.  I'd rather not have to lug that shit around anymore.  I think that's an excellent plan, actually.  From here on out I am not carrying that shit around.  Right on.  woooo.

Little bits of practice every day are good and that is what I am aspiring too.  There must be a way to do just a little bit of all of it, right? 

The King of Cups and the Fool reversed. 

5 of cups reversed and the Queen of Pentacles.  Today is a yellow spectral human, and the moon is headed to Aquarius. 

I woke up with that same weird thing that I've been calling kidney stones but I'm just not convinced.  I was able to breathe through the flank pain and there doesn't seem to be anything blocking so I'm back to square one.  The 5 of cups reversed has come up when this pain is here before and it says that it is the first step of the archetypal journey into the underworld in which one must be stripped of all worldly pride and trappings before discovering true value.  Not really sure what that means...  this Queen is a bit of a relief, hopefully I can get there today because I am not sure what is going on with my innards.  I am trying to focus all of myself there to figure it out, though.

Knight of Pentacles reversed and the Lovers.  Today is the blue planetary monkey and the moon is in Capricorn, not Aquarius like I think I said the other day.  I was wondering.  I was thinking about the signs and their associated elements, and while I have always felt pretty good about the cosmic balance in my family I do not come from a balanced place at all.  My folks and I are all air while poor markie is very much of the earth.  J's family is also unbalanced with lots of fire and then John as water.  Interesting...  Today I shall come up with 108 things to be thankful for, that shouldn't be very hard at all. 

I love my morning jaunt to the bus stop, the birds are putting on quite a concert at that time of day and there is so much activity to watch now.  The little tree's buds just keep getting bigger and there will come a day when they pop, but probably not for a month or so but still.

Ella's bumps are going away!  This has happened before but they re-flared so let's hope that that doesn't happen. 

Queen of Swords and the 2 of swords reversed.  Today is the red galactic moon and the moon is also entering Aquarius in a few hours.  All of this data, It is my hope that after looking at it all for some time that it might start to assemble itself into something.  Interesting, hopefully.  It was decided that this laptop that lives up here should live on top of the stereo cabinet, and the way the cables were strung behind everything it makes it so that you either have to unplug everything in order to take the machine over to a chair or the other choice is to stand and work.  I sort of like the standing, it is new and exciting, but I am put off by the assumption that this is the best way for things to be.  There is a complete lack of regard for any other way to do things, and I noticed not just lack of regard but active disdain and some pissy bitchin'. 

Abbey is all gung ho about doing the jump rope for heart.  Her P.E. teacher is the instigator, on the one hand I don't mind her feeling strongly about being healthy but there is another level of worry here about the kids on the flyer who have problems with their hearts.  She really wants to give them all of her money.  There is also a certain prize she has her eye on but it is not really on the expensive side so I don't feel like she is letting the greedy take over too much.

Ella is still dealing with these bumps.  Partner parent really wants her to see the doctor about it but when I suggested that he call and make the appointment and see that she keeps it there was really an amazing display about how ridiculous it would be of anyone to think that he should spend any part of his important work day doing anything of the sort.  I, though, am not convinced that a visit to the doctor is in our best interests and am more inclined to wait it out a little longer at least until we can get out and play outside a few times.  I dunno, I tend to trust my gut with this stuff and my gut isn't worried. 

The world reversed and the 5 of wands.

3 of swords and 4 of pentacles.  Today is the day to re-assess and re-group.  It actually feels like this winter might just come to an end one of these days and it is time to shed the old skin.  I am itching to roll out my yoga mat and see what happens and I need to update the girlzzz upromise account.  now that it is written it is so

8 of swords and Strength.  I'm feeling a little cranky this morning, and I have a tendency to channel that into productive parenting.  Which means that it is piano lesson day for Ella, she has CDE down now and can find it all over the keyboard and is right now waiting for me to help her move on

King of Pentacles and the Knight of Wands reversed.  Sometimes the King can be a bit bossy and the Knight is just a bit hot tempered, and might react poorly to the suggestions of the King.
