Free Tarot Card Reading for the Week of April 3rd, 2018

Welcome to Tarot Tuesday for the week of April 3rd, 2018! My monthly free Tarot card readings were so popular, I decided to make them a weekly feature. If you want to be sure to catch the next one, you can follow my blog on WordPress or Bloglovin’, stalk my Facebook, Twitter, or other social media (all my links are in the widget on the left), or simply bookmark this site and set an alarm on your phone for Tuesdays at 8am EST.

For those wondering, I use my Universal Waite Smith Tarot Deck to draw the cards, but since it’s so well loved (I’ve owned it for a bazillion years), I then substitute my Radiant Deck for the photographs. And for the record, I take a new picture of the card backs every week – first, I do the cards face up, then flip them over and take a snap of the back. I add the numbers and such with Canva, and use the picture from the top of the post to create the blog graphic.

Also, while it probably doesn’t need to be said, I’m saying it anyway – this is for fun, and my messages should never be a substitute for your own good judgement and common sense. In fact, that applies to most things in life – if your gut tells you it’s not right, always listen.

Now, on to the reading! Pick the card (or cards) that you’re drawn to, then scroll down to the bottom of this post for the card reveal and my short interpretation of what to expect in the upcoming week.

Okay, you’ve picked your card (or cards), right?

Alright, well, last week, it occurred to me that there are SO many brilliant musicians on Steemit, why not use one of the gazillion songs I fall in love with each day for my “Jeopardy Music“?

This week, I’ve actually managed to pick one that hasn’t reached post payout yet (which, if you’re not familiar with Steemit, means the post can still earn money)! I’d already fallen in love with another song by this magical artist and originally planned to use it for today, even though it’s two weeks out. But when I stumbled across this one a few days ago, I knew I’d save the other for another week, and use this gorgeousness instead.

As I was saying, now that you’ve decided on a card, or cards, while you’re scrolling, please enjoy Morning Light (Original Song) by the incredibly talented and beyond sweetheart of a person, @yidneth…

“Dry your eyes, oh lost child,
No one heard you cry
Hold still, time might ease
Night can trick you when darkness brings
that old forgotten fear
It drinks you to the marrow, a load that doesn’t allow
your feet to run away
And lies spread on lies, but no one seems to care,
at least it looks that way…
I know the sun will rise, and it will shine the same
for sinners and for saints…
I guess I have to learn
the lessons life may bring
the way that things can turn
Face your fate
even if it’s unfair
there’s no one you can blame
And lies spread on lies
and no one seems to care
at least it looks that way…
I know the sun will rise, and it will shine the same
for sinners and for saints…
oh Morning Light… don’t delay!” ~ Priscilla Hernandez

Alrighty, here’s the big reveal! Your card is…

*drum roll*

This!

1. Three of Swords

Yikes! Every time I see this card as my daily, that’s the first word that pops into my head. Today is going to be a day of finding out things you really don’t want to hear, but in the end, they will be extremely healing. Like lancing a wound, you will get some pretty cutting truths, but at least you will finally have the facts, even if they aren’t the ones you want. Let the poison in your heart drain out, then you can begin to heal. Give yourself some time to wallow, listen to your favorite emo song (like Closure by Chevelle), then take a deep breath and move on.

2. Nine of Pentacles

Retreat from the world. You deserve a break today, so get up and get away, to … nope, not that place. Unless, of course, you go grab a bag of Mickey D’s and bring it someplace to enjoy in solitude because up next on the menu is, “Escape, with a side of pampering.” It can be as fancy as a day of mani pedis and wine, or as simple as a quiet room with a great book (the chocolate and coffee go without saying). Indulge, indulge, indulge – plenty of time for reality tomorrow.

3. Two of Cups

Makes the world go ’round. While it’s easy to see this is a card about love, what’s not so obvious is that it also represents other relationships, not just the romantic one between two (or more) people. This could be a recent furry/feathered addition to the family, a passion for a creative process (writing, painting, knitting), or even something as simple as discovering a new favorite show to binge-watch (like Farscape or Jessica Jones). It’s also a reminder that the first, most important love we should have is for ourselves. As the late, great Lucille Ball once said, “Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.”

So, what did you think of your message? Please be sure to shout out in the comment section, and let me know what you thought. And, as is the case with all my posts, if you enjoyed it, please feel free to share. Bright blessings!
