This one or That one?

The road not taken was not your path.

Another nine today. Something ending. The typical Nine of Wands has a theme of hardship, calling on some inner strength to finish the task taken up in the Ace of Wands. This fairy gal seems to have enjoyed her challenge and looks back to see how far she has come.  Good advice, worry not on what's ahead but congratulate myself on what I have managed to accomplish.

"There are hundreds of paths up the mountain, all leading to the same place, so it doesn't matter which path you take.
The only person wasting time is the one who runs around the mountain telling everyone that her or his path is wrong" -Hindu Proverb

Own it

Sometimes we realize we are right were we are supposed to be, in the garden of our own making.

There are days that I question myself, " how did I get here?" I have always made my choices and owned them, good and not so good.  Change is upon me and I will remind myself that I made the choice and did not wait for it to come to me.

"One is the loneliest number that you will ever do, Two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one."
ONE -Sung by Three Dog Night
Being alone does not have to be lonely.  Sure there are days of isolation, but you can experience that with another or a room filled with anothers.
I like this card of Nine of Pentacles, surrounded by the things of my own making.

Heart Sense

Lead with your Heart.

Another King. One drawn Sunday and now today.   From Rachel PolIlack's TAROT WISDOM: King of Wands, " A very confident figure, may be a woman as well as a man, for king is a role, not a matter of biology." 
I notice how busy so many are, rushing off to this or that. Work, shopping, children, constantly on the go. The need to be doing something. Is it so fearful to be with oneself in the moment? I realize that even though I have slowed down since accident, I avoid myself a lot. Mindless tv, games, eating - different variations on distracting myself.

Emissary

What a pretty pony.

Is there anything that needs to said when we view an image of  Pegasus? 
Colette Baron-Reid gives us "Destiny and fate, the law of karma, powerful forces of transformation at work, synchronicity

I guess that about sums it up.

Veni Vidi Vici

"I came, I saw, I conquered." A quote of Julius Caesar given to the Roman Senate in 46 BC.

When I first turned over this card I heard "Eat or be eaten" another quote about getting them before they get you.  The King of Pentacles is usually viewed as a benevolent, successful king.  In order to be successful I am sure there are components of ruthlessness.  Still to be the go to guy or gal you have to have some measure of accomplishment to be that go to guy or gal.
I am thinking if advice is sought and given, I best pay attention.

Harken

Do you hear what I hear?
Most likely not.

This card Fool reminds me that 'The Fool' stands apart of the Major Arcana.  Some see it as the first card, beginning the journey.  I noticed that there is no companion animal, no warning nature to this Fool.
Today I think I will receive a call of some kind and it will be a call I will need to pay attention to.  Sometimes the most simplest explanation is the best.

Why ask Why

I know the old saying is 'let sleeping dogs lie' in this instance maybe sleeping lions.

The author of this deck uses the image of the lion on a number of cards.  Either her astrological sign is Leo or a Lion is her totem animal and she bears a strong affinity to the cat.  I am not sure I get this one.  Leo is the fifth sign in the zodiac and if astrological comparisons are being made maybe Virgo would have been a good choice for the Sixth Major.  Baron-Reid gives us Love and not Lovers for the title, which I believe was the original name for this Major. 
If everything is in order and all things are working out, do we just go with the flow?  And why is it when we are in the flow so many times we step off the path, you know, where the lions are lurking in the tall grass?
