Today’s cards: The Empress, Knight of Cups, & II of Swords.

It is good that you are aware of your responsibilities to yourself and to others. It is not good that you are holding those responsibilities in your shoulders so hard that you are starting to buckle and strain from the weight. There are others that can help you, for some it is their responsibility to do so, for others it is because they care about you and want to help. Allowing other people to help you doesn’t make you a burden, it confirms you are part of a society and culture. Let others help you take care of business today, even if that means letting them do all the work while you take care and rest.


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.
