Today’s card:
Five of Pentacles (Robin Wood Tarot)
Initial impressions: Saw the snow. Remembered the negative meanings of the card.
Keywords and phrases: Loss, out in the cold, ostracism, no one to turn to / Hope, survival skills, pulling yourself up by your bootstraps
UPG: NA
What’s happening in the picture: Outside a stained glass window, a light snow is falling on two raggedly dressed people. One huddles against the wall on the wet pavement, the other, a bandaged soldier missing a leg, hobbles away on a crutch.
Symbols/images that stand out: snow, black pavement, army green fabric wrapped around his head, eye injury, even whole leg is bandaged, ragged cape is tartan
What emotion is expressed: There’s still hope.
Greeting card message: Stand tall and be true to yourself. Hard times, come again no more.
Personal experience at the end of the day: Was feeling the opposite of out in the cold until the end of the day
Events and situations: Luckily finished errands at one place. People let me go ahead in line. First couple of restaurants were closed for cleaning because Pesach starts Saturday night. We spent the afternoon at 9Beach enjoying the lovely weather.
People: Arlan, couple at supermarket, waiters, characters on the bus, KK and FF
Lessons learned: KK and FF didn’t banter about my chat. I excised anything that might be wrong or embarrassing, i.e., anything personal or potentially interesting from it, and also failed to consider whether KK would know the Hebrew greeting for Pesach.
New insights: Your card of the day may reflect just a moment at the end of the day. It may not be the theme of the whole day.
