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."

Save Some Passion

From the Idiosyncradeck Tarot, the King of Arrows (Wands); from the Mixed Emotions deck, 'Loving:'
          With his charisma and energy, the King of Wands is a natural leader. Don't expect him to follow the same old way of doing things; he thrives on creativity and originality. He has the courage of conviction and will follow through on his goal no matter what the challenges. People always feel bold and daring when following this fellow, as if they're in the spotlight too. He reminds me a bit of Elon Musk, who recently successfully launched his own rocket into space (with a Tesla Roadster on board). The downside for people who thrive on such passionate endeavors is that sometimes their close relationships take a back seat. It doesn't take long before the Righteous Brothers are singing in the background, "You lost that lovin' feeling." The Loving card is a reminder that relationships require the same sort of effort and enthusiasm. The problem is not that each partner has separate interests, but that they forget to nurture their common bond too. In the words of J.K. Rowling, "Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike."

  1. He expects to bring the roadster back home. I admire his drive but I think he has a mad monkey mind

    1. I'll applaud if for no other reason than he built a rocket that worked. 😊 And those boosters coming back to roost were pretty cool.

  2. Well this is kind of crazy. I was sure I posted something about Elon Musk being a very good comparison to the King of Wands and it disappear. His company lost over a billion dollars last year and he believes so much in his vision, it's full steam ahead.

    1. Goodness - a billion dollars! He's definitely not got any King of Pentacles in him then. :)
