Every morning, I pull a card, kind of to look at my day and see what I need to keep in check, personally, or be prepared for. It also keeps me close to me cards and helps me know their various meanings. The book doesn't always tell me the information that jumps out at me from the card, or sometimes it tells me useless information, and only some is relevant. By daily use and examination, I can learn the attitudes of the spirits behind each card, their moods, and also can feel out blind spots and imbalances by checking which cards I never get, and what I always tend to get (also lets me know if a card is slightly bend, coincidentally, lol).

So, I encourage you to do the same, and, if you feel comfortable, to share your finding and interpretations (not the book definitions) as they apply to your personal life.

This is a great idea!
I do the same with my cards, and often my runes (Depending on which i'm pulled to). Mornings are a perfect time to pull out the deck, as the day has just begun, making it easier to focus and open yourself to ask, believe, and receive without influence of the days occurences.

Today I decided to pull from my Nature Speak oracle deck. My first card? Redwood: Ancient Teachings.
I had to smile when I pulled this, as the full moon approaches i'm preparing for a series of spells and small gatherings.
It also came to me that spirit imploys me to be open to the spiritual knowledge my guardians and ancestors have to offer and guide me in this month of transition as I feel there is great change to be had.
And, on a more lax note, I previously made a post regarding information on Scrying: Something tells me I won't have to wait long to receive. pirate

I got the two of coins, which implies I'm taking action on an idea, which I am! The only thing I am working on today (other than the typical house keeping and cooking and day in and out of trying to be super mom) is the guild. It looks great thus far, too <3

I got the reversed chariot today. I don't really see anything to that effect right now. I'm in good spirits. It's grocery day ?? So I guess we'll have to wait and see on this one. I suppose advice to myself might be to stay calm, stay in control. Don't let your emotions control you, and make sure everyone wears a seatbelt to and from the grocery store today =)

Hahahaaaahaha. I pulled Mercury Retrograde, which I need to prepare, and open myself for, as it's right around the corner.
Spirit has a silly sense of humor. whee

For yesterday's card, I think it meant I couldn't control the weather. Should have been a dry day today, and now it is raining, and my plans are ruined. OOOH, well...

Today I have the reversed 4 of Coins. Seems to imply social issues. I shouldn't be leaving the house today though, so this is another one I guess I'll have to wait and puzzle out.

As I was in a rush to get out the door and make it to work on time this morning, I didn't get the chance to pull in the morning.

However, I happen to pull from my Nature Speak deck: Borderland - Hidden Realms Open. At this time I'm unsure of message, but...
I guess I'll know when the realms open, aye? 4laugh

This will probably be long, but please stick with it, because its kind of cool.

For those of you pulling a card a day, please think about making a chart.

The left hand column should have the cards listed and the all the other columns should just be tiny little check boxes.When you pull a card, simply put an ex in the first available spot next to your card.

When you pull a card a day (I'll use tarot as my example because thats what I use, but it works with any oracle deck as well) you have a one in 78 chance of pulling any card. If you chart this out, math will tell you that you will be pulling the cards something close to evenly if this is charted out. But in tarot, when you ask for guidance or for help, understanding, a glimpse, whatever you want to call it, you don't pull mathematical odds. If you chart your card a day, you will eventually begin to see patterns that run through your life. I did this one time for several months and I was amazed. There were LOTS of cards I never even pulled once, but several that showed up again and again. I had pulled the moon card over and over again. There were several other cards I pulled a lot but most of the cards I never even pulled once!

Lots of us have an idea that a card or two shows up for them for them a lot, but its amazing to see and it can also be interpreted much easier.

This does take some commitment because it takes a while to start seeing patterns, you can pull for weeks before you even get one duplicate, but when they start to show it gets fascinating. Its one of the most interesting exercises I have ever done, one that is fun and full of self knowledge.

I realize there is little chance of any of you will do this, but I am going to start another chart, today as a matter of fact and i will let you know how it goes. It would be really cool though if some of you did it with me.

There have actually been studies done on this, but then I would just go on even longer, so I 'll just stop now

I invite you all to join me in this

The chart idea is really cool. It'd be a good way to track repetitive behaviors or issues so that you make a conscious effort to fix them. I have noticed that some cards appear more often than others when I'm doing spreads. Lately, I've had a lot of different cards that mean similar things. In a way, it's a bit comforting.

Today's card is the 4 of Wands, which is enjoying the fruits of you labor. In all honesty, it confuses me. I've gotten this card often recently in questions about my career. You see, I applied for a job that's in my field, but I'm at a huge disadvantage with no experience and still trying to finish my degree. It's possible that I need to overcome those obstacles before I can rest. Of course, it would be nice if I did get my wish tomorrow and was called in for an interview. Oh well, guess I'll continue the hunt.


EDIT: The card ended up having nothing to do with me. It was referring to my friend that got married this past weekend. She's been having a heck of a time trying to get military housing, but now everything's settling down. I guess it was just try to tell me why I couldn't get a hold of her since I was worrying a bit.
