Card of the Day. DO IT

It can be a little daunting, starting any new hobby when you feel like a total newb. Even though I've had readings and messed around with my deck before, I still felt unsure of where to start. My girl, Kelly, who is my total tarot-card-loving inspiration, introduced me to the Tarot! app. I don't know how I feel about an electronic deck. The whole song and dance of the cards, in my opinion, is the shuffle/ask a question/cut the deck/choose cards and I'm not sure how that translates to an app. But it's only $1.99 so I thought why not. What I LOVE about the app, is the "card of the day" feature. I always check my card of the day and see what it says. It'll give you a brief description of the card as well. This is really helping me learn how to recognize the cards and get a little understanding of what they mean.

There are a lot of cards. 78 to be exact. And it would be unrealistic to learn all the meaning right off the bat. This is a great way to dip your toe into the tarot world. I've read that its recommended that you keep a journal to remember what cards you get, what they mean, and what ones seem to come up often for you. My friend Kelly and I agree that we seem to keep getting the same cards over and over while other cards never come up for us.

One thing I try to remember with my card of the day draw, this card doesn't determine what kind of day I'm going to have. I'm the only one in my life with that much power. 💃💃 This could be one minute part of the day, a fleeting thought, a person that I come into contact with, etc. So I try not to get too bent out of shape if I get an icky looking card. (my LEAST favorite card is the tower card.) But I'm not going to lie, I love when I draw my favorite card, the ten of cups. I mean how freaking cute is this card? You can't help but smile.

The Tower card represents: Disaster, upheaval, sudden change, revelation (which isn't always indicative of a bad thing. But when I see the picture on the card I just DON'T like it.)

The ten of cups represents: Harmony, marriage, happiness, alignment (and when I draw this card, I feel warm and fuzzy. The lovey dovey couple and flipping adorable children dancing. I love this one.)

I get the card meanings from the Tarot! app or from Biddytarot.com

Go pull your card of the day! Tell me what you get and if it made sense to you. I'd seriously love to hear. <3
