Today’s cards: Queen of Wands, X of Wands, & VI of Wands.

Your ambition led you to biting off more than you can chew, but you can’t spit it out and deal with it at a more tolerable pace. You feel like you’re going to choke and you will if you try to swallow in your present state. You forgot that there is a third way: Working through it. It won’t be glamorous. Pictures will be the opposite of helping. But humbling yourself and asking for assistance will help you through this. Work at the problem slowly, like you’re kneading dough while wearing boxing gloves. Little by little, you will wear through the problem until the problem is worn away and there is only you remaining with your hard-earned prize.


The Ephemere Tarot is a luxurious white and gold deck of 80 hand painted and foil stamped cards that represents the stories, traditions, and heritages that humans create and pass forth in their journey to conquer the most eternal and timeless of enemies; the ephemerality and temporality of life. Inspired by odysseys and epics of old, the major arcana cards have been reimagined as a “hero’s journey” in place of the classic “fool’s journey”. The majority of the major arcana cards retain strong parallels to traditional Rider Waite-Smith counterparts, though a small number are completely new. Cards painted by Arthur Wang. Card meanings co-written by Arthur Wang and Mat Auryn. The Ephemere Tarot is ©TrueBlack, LLC.

What Does The Deck Say” is a weekday series of 3 card pulls from a cartomancy deck.

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.
