Today’s cards: Knight of Pentacles, Ace of Cups, & X of Swords.

Your confidence has been sorely shaken and now that you are surveying the consequences of so many actions, it feels like you lack the budget and the energy to do anything about it. The only emotion you feel you can afford is despair, but that is not the truth. Before you throw what you have left into the gutter, stop and take an honest assessment of your resources, internal and external. There are still people that believe in you and want to help. You can’t afford to spend recklessly, but you can still afford what you need to get through this. The key thing is to not give up, but to stand in your own strength for today.


This deck of 78 small tarot cards illustrated by Julie Paschkis and published by Running Press is part of a modest and portable set titled “Tarot: The Complete Kit”. The palm size cards feature vignettes that summarize individual card meanings yet also offer points for inspiration for other interpretations. The Running Press Tarot is ©Running Press.

What Does The Deck Say” is a weekday series of 3 card pulls from a cartomancy deck. No context or query is given to frame what the cards say as the posts are reading samples and not personal instruction. The result is sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and usually surprising. All readers are invited to leave a comment about what they perceive in the random spread as each person will interact with the cards in their own way.

Personalized, direct, and private cartomancy readings are available via Ko-Fi: Noxporium.
