Tarot Card Drawn:

The Devil

Firstly, say hello to my newest deck, now "reading ready": The Hallowe'en Tarot, by Kipling West.

I find this card interesting, as I know that today I will very likely be placed in a situation where I must bite my tongue, and not get involved.

So how does the Devil relate to this?

Often, this card indicates a need to control base impulses and desires. As The Devil often represents the unthinking, sometimes destructive force of nature (in our own hearts as well as the world around us), I believe the card is all about temper today. In life, we frequently have to choose between what we would like or feel compelled to do, and what we know is right. I think that in the context of the coming evening, this card asks: Yes, reacting without thought may make you feel better, but what will it achieve? If you cannot contribute constructively to a situation, it is sometimes best to back away - to save ourselves from making a bad situation much much worse. It also indicates a potential for temptation and the abuse of power.

ZWK Cards Drawn:

Visit/Sadness

Well, I don't like this! I have actually been invited to a friend's house today, so this doesn't really bode well...of course, we must take a closer look. The combination can be interpreted in many ways: will the visit cause sadness, or are we visiting someone who is sad? The meaning could also be metaphorical, indicating that we will be visited by sadness. At times like this, I often draw a third card, to clarify:

Unexpected Joy

The third, clarifying card indicates an end to this aforementioned sadness. Perhaps the real message here is that it is possible to lift the spirits of others, simply by being there. A melancholy situation or attitude can be expected to turn suddenly around, into something really positive.
