Today Gino and I talked about Motivation. It seems to him and to just about everyone else in my life that my motivation slips the more praise that I recieve from say, Daddy. This is a problem and I’m not sure how to overcome it. I need to retain motivation even when I’m doing well so that I continue the cycle and therefore continue to achieve. Here’s a quick tarot reading I did before I head out to karate. I’ll ponder what it means later. You are welcome to have a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\nThe Fourfold Vision<\/b> spread offers a progression of different ways of looking at an object, person, or situation. It is a powerful tool for gaining deeper insight into the specific subjects of other readings. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Click<\/a><\/td>\nThe card on the far right represents the object being viewed<\/b>, be it an idea, relationship, or the self. The World, when reversed<\/b>: Incompleteness and shoddy design. A great work betrayed. Insecurity, fear of change, and the failure to reach goals. Regret and disappointment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Click<\/a><\/td>\nThe card second from the right represents the physical vision<\/b>: how the object is seen at a base or mechanical level. The Chariot, when reversed<\/b>: Ineffective use of force. Might turned against the weak or the righteous. Senseless violence and warmongering. Lack of discipline and poor direction fan the flames of a situation already out of control. Advance without consideration of the consequences for others.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Click<\/a><\/td>\nThe card in the middle represents the mental vision<\/b>: the object personified and seen through a humanized perspective. Six of Pentacles (Success)<\/b>: A time of prosperity and profit. Success and generosity in material things. Power and influence turned to noble pursuits. Philanthropy, and the balancing of physical and spiritual life. May suggest gifts or aid to one in need.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Click<\/a><\/td>\nThe card second from the left represents the emotional vision<\/b>: how passions and values are creatively stimulated by the mental vision. Strength, when reversed<\/b>: Weakness in the face of obstacles and adversity. Tremendous power released at the wrong moment. Inability to defend oneself. Confusion, and lack of preparedness. Illness, hardship, distress and the failing of physical force. Dominant behavior, abusiveness and a possible loss of reputation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Click<\/a><\/td>\nThe card on the far left represents the fourfold or mystical vision<\/b>: still viewing through the previous three, we now add a spiritual element, revealing unseen aspects of the object. Nine of Cups (Happiness), when reversed<\/b>: Vanity, conceit, and smugness in romance, friendship, or other relationships. Achieving what you always thought you wanted. Overindulging in food, drink, or the pleasures of the flesh. A state of joy and abundance that is shallow and fleeting.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
