One of many Baraja Española type decks, The Baraja Azteca is a 48 card deck of playing cards used for such games as Brisca, Tute, and Mus. This 48-card variant of the deck contains four suits; Oros (Gold), Bastos (Clubs), Espadas (Swords), and Copas (Cups). While the deck is made primarily for play, it functions well as a divinatory tool. Each reader uses their own personal understanding and intuition to interpret the cards.

Today’s cards: 9 Espadas, 6 Copas, & 5 Espadas.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. How many times have you heard that homily before. How many times have you snarked back about all the problems you are facing and how many obstacles are in your way. Kinda hard to look forward to enjoying life when life has been so hard, yes? Yes. There are obstacles. And there are problems. But right now, you have the five minutes you have set aside to read this. And right now, you have a moment to yourself. So how about right now, you enjoy yourself and remind yourself of all the happiness and enjoyment you have had thus far. Then think about all the ways you can have happiness and enjoyment later despite those problems, obstacles, and people set against you. Have that moment. Then go start putting things to right.
