Today’s cards: Prince of Cups, Two of Swords, & Five of Swords.

Yeah, sure, everything looks like it’s going to complete shit at the moment and there will be no containing this baking soda and vinegar reaction in your relationship, but before you commit to cleaning up everyone’s mess, ask yourself one thing: Since when, has appeasement ever worked? You may say that you’re only securing a safe space for now and that you’ll have a proper response tomorrow, but by tomorrow, you will have already given away the advantage you still have now. There is a time to work for mutual benefice, and there is a time to work to keep yourself above the flood line. It’s not mutual benefice if you’re given all the rocks while giving up all the floats. So take a guess which time it is and act accordingly.


The RM (Red Magician) Tarot is a limited edition deck created by artist Jay LeRoy. Being that it was originally meant to be the artist’s personal tarot, the artwork is a collage-based, subconsciously-driven interpretation of Hermetic and universal symbolism. The Red Magician Tarot is ©Jay LeRoy.
