I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Set on Simmer

From the Wild Unknown Tarot, the Daughter (Page) of Wands:
The long, sleek body of this snake reminds me of the southern black racers that are so common here.  Racers are fast movers (hence the name), and they have been known to chase humans in an attempt to scare them away.  Although nonpoisonous, they won't hesitate to bite if handled.  The scales of the snake in the image shimmer with reds, oranges and yellows.  This woman-child is on "simmer" around the clock; her mind is constantly filled with ambitious and adventurous ideas.  The figure eight shape of the body indicates that her creative enthusiasm is a well that doesn't run dry.  The only drawback to this little firebrand is that she has so many inspirations (note the multiple flowers on the wand), she may find it hard to concentrate on and fully develop any of them.

A toss of the geomancy sticks this morning produced "Caput Draconis:"
Caput Draconis is Latin for "head of the dragon" and suggests a new opportunity or beginning.  It is associated with the North Node, the ascending point where the moon's path and sun's path meet.  The North Node, astrologically speaking, deals with traits that need to be developed in order to find balance.  When such challenges come, it is easy to let my inner critic and fear talk me into staying in my rut instead of taking a chance on a new possibility.  And that would surely disappoint my inner Daughter of Wands who has so many creative ideas to try out.
