Today I have pulled the Two of Swords upright. This card contains a lady holding 2 swords upright, and she blinded. It is like she does not what is to come.
The meaning from the book:
Armed peace. Uncertainty. Limited information. Impasse. Blind judgement. Sensing. Frail alliance but with potential. Energized by a not yet decided situation, relationship or path venturing into the unknown. Having to proceed into the dark, using caution or intuition.
I am finally up to restarting, where I have a clear mind again. Not all drugged up from the pain meds.
So today I pulled the Ace of Cups in upright. I felt peace with this card, and I get the feeling of love, my cup flowth over, that good things happen.
The meaning in the book:

This excitements me. We are beginning to try again for a baby. Due to fertility issues in the past, I have begun to track my menstrual cycle, and basal body temperature. Seeing this card with it’s meaning now, gives a bit of hope!
Today is the Three of Swords. Pulled upright. In this card we see 3 swords into the ground. And a woman is curled up staring at the ground into a stream of water. I cannot honestly figure out what this card means.

Today’s pulled card is Ten of Pentacles, it was pulled upright. I love the picture in this card. There is a little girl sitting on a table with a pentacle behind her. And another lady is handing the little girl an apple. It is like everyone is in a courtyard. There are people talking in the background. Another child on a horse. And a huge banner holding the other 9 pentacles. An apple tree is in the picture too.
I feel this card represents enjoying life. Giving. Freedom.
The true meaning per the book is this : Freedom from financial concerns. Prosperity. Strong, established family setting. Protection and stability within a clan. Family traditions, gatherings. Having the time to enjoy the fruits of one’s labor. Achieving of worldly dreams. Benefiting from the work of one’s predecessors. Gifts, inheritance, archives. Celebrations and reunions.

Definently different from what I was thinking it was! But seems I always pull this card on the day I go to Feelings Management Class.
Today I pulled another upright card. This time we have the Eight of Swords. This one has a lady in the ocean, she is caught in web, and bound and tied by a green seaweed. Around her is 8 swords.

Not having the ability to adequately protect oneself. Vulnerable to deceit. Scapegoat. Pleas falling on deaf ears. Being misunderstood. Being used. A temporary situation that will pass.
