Scintillating Saturday Sorcerers,
Google images, and Tarot today - How can I create more balance in my life?
moving forward with determination not following “societal” rules/expectations slow down
How can I create more balance in my life?
Straightforward, left to right read. Now that I have purposefully decided to go forward (maybe into unknown territory, but calmer), I do not have to follow what society thinks I should be doing, and I do not have to hurry. Step one is happening, I am moving forward; now, take my time in thinking what I want to do next, and make my own decision, do not let society tell me what I should do.

Balance comes from clarity not from juggling a lot of ping pong balls. The Ace of Swords is asking me to cut out the murky dross and concentrate on what is doable and then do it well.

I missed a few days.
Well, it seems I have all the tools to balance things, I just have to be more mindful on it.

Stupendous Sunday (at least here in Vegas, raining all night, woke up to rain, and supposed to be rain all day from hurricane Polo coming up from the Tijuana, Mexico area, San Diego, California up here to us in Vegas, Baby, Vegas…love any rain we get here!!!

Google Images - Tarot Today - How can I better support my friends?
following your heart stability, strength, control clarity, focus,
I found out yesterday afternoon, that my friends long-time (30yr) friend had passed after a LONG illness. She cannot go to the funeral (too far, cost). So, this is how I can support her.
How can I better support my friends?
Let her follow/allow her emotions and feeling to come through, and be there for her tears, yet, be a rock (emperor) and stable, and help her stay focused so that she will not fall into the abyss of emotions.

Midas is famous for wanting riches in an obsessive way. He did a favor for a god and wished for everything he touched to become gold. He begged for forgivenss and was cured. The keywords support the Midas myth after the reset.

I drew the Seven of Swords for this one
Keywords: Secrecy, Deception, Cheating
To create more balance in my life, I need to act in alignment with my values, even when no one is watching. The Seven of Swords encourages me to examine where I may be hiding parts of myself, avoiding difficult truths, or taking shortcuts that ultimately create more stress. Balance comes from integrity, self-honesty, and knowing that my actions reflect the person I want to be.

Ace of Pentacles
Material Wealth | Abundance | Opportunity
This card speaks of abundance, material wealth and opportunity. Since the question is about supporting my friends, can the answer be as simple as “I can support my friends by sharing the wealth, abundance and opportunities that have come my way.” ?
I don’t really think it’s saying that exactly, perhaps something along the lines of “I can support my friends by being a source of grounded, practical support that helps them access opportunities, stability, or growth.”

Super Sunday Greenbriar,
I agree, wealth and abundance is not necessarily tangible.

Magickal Monday,
Google images - tarot today -What small change will make today go smoother?
preparation, expansion anxiety new ideas, thoughts
What small change will make today go smoother? mod/sub/mod
Looks as if today may have anxieties, so I need to stick to my plan (preparedness) but look for new ideas and thoughts to work through the anxious moments.
Not much help and a little vague, but I could not come up with anything else.

The K of Cups (not related to the coffee thing) is about artistic vision, charm and expressing feelings.
I need to show those close to me a bit of attention. Which I already did… sorta. The SO couldn’t get her laptop to work and called me. She isn’t a computer geek but I am. I jumped on my imaginary horse and rode to my Queen’s rescue!
However, just touching a few keys and bringing the laptop to life made the SO frustrated and mad at me. There are confusing happenings in the realm today! I will need to contemplate how to reverse this… the card is saying it is a moral requisite.

Great reading. I like to think of that card as stealing too many swords. 
I really do think that. It eases the shock of seeing it and lightens initial negativity.

Terrific Tuesday Tarot talkers,
Google images - Tarot today–Which regret do I need to release?
upright, inner-strength, courage, subtle power…so reversed, opposite, is how I read the reversed cards
So, this happens to be my favorite card, so how is it a regret I need to release? I know…the regret of not maintaining my inner-strength after my TBI/coma and relying (trusting) that my husband had my best interest at heart. NOT. He used my TBI/coma as an opportunity to use manipulation and control against me as a form of “protecting YOU!!!” (He even tried to talk me into getting home cameras, so that when he was at work, he would be able to see if I “fell down”, so that all these cameras in the home would be a “protection for YOU!!”–typical narcissist, changing their wants into something that would be advantageous for you)…anyway, getting off the soap-box…back to the read.
So, after my TBI/coma, as I was “returning” to normal, as a trusting/good wife, I left decisions to my husband (since I was no longer completely there mentally). Now that I have “returned” to my senses (awoken from my coma), I discovered that my lack of inner-strength has created a messy gumbo mix at home. Reversed, this card is speaking of how I had let go of my inner-strength, courage and power. Yes, I regret placing that trust in another human (supposedly, you can trust your spouse). Instead of constantly berating myself for making an extremely wrong decision, I need to “release this regret” and move forward. Unfortunately, this experience, has convinced me even further of my reason for lack of trust in others!!
Well, such a long-winded response for only 1 card.

Deck: Greek2 (Etsy but images were tweaked locally and by AI)
Six of Wands is a card of success. The regret might be not accepting a partial win when I should have. That means perseverance wasn’t necessary and probably a losing effort.
I am stubborn at times and sometimes that gets in the way. Nearly everything I do, I wish I had done just a bit more. Of course, had I done a bit more, I would have wished to go an inch further.
A grand example is the picture on the card I just drew. It is a picture of Triptolemus who needed to teach the earth agriculture after it became barren due to Persephone being kidnapped by Hades. After that fiasco, Demeter nominated Triptolemus as the teacher of how to make things right - he was given a chariot drawn by serpents to go to all corners and explain how to replenish the earth. He is often shown with Demeter, Persephone and sometimes Hekate on his travels. I didn’t like the card so I changed it. Maybe I went too far but I really like mine better although it needs a tweak or two.
(AI + local art)
The problem (my problem) is that once I do this card, I need to get really detailed with ALL the cards or else the deck would be weird. And when I did them, I would find more fault and have to tweak them. It is never enough.
