You've successfully navigated through this day by taking an objective approach with a lot of things, taking into account the viewpoints of other people as you made your responses. You weren't entirely taking an impersonal approach as the card beneath is the Emotions card, and yes, you've taken into account your emotions as well, realizing that you had a defensive attitude and emotion and that immediately responding to others who are just expressing their thoughts, same as you, in response to yours, will lead to conflict. You're probably way too attached to your gadgets and social media right now, since the card of advice is the Seven of Earth, pointing to the fact that it would do you good to get out, enjoy nature, meditate, and put down the tech toys for your own good. Connect to the physical, real, and natural world.

Packing away my Astromatrix Tarot for storage.

My Amazon order just arrived today... I had ordered a fortune telling resource book, the 100 percent plastic RWS tarot deck, and one of those PVC hologram gold foil tarot decks. I made those purchases because I noticed that my cardboard/paper tarot decks are starting to show signs of wear, and I wanted to have a tarot deck for my daily use that can last a lifetime.

I got the PVC deck because I thought that they would photograph well, but while they look amazing in person.... they don't look good in photos.... I am satisfied with the 100 percent plastic RWS and I am gonna be using that for my daily tarot practice, which means my Astromatrix tarot deck now goes to storage. I love that deck. If it weren't for the signs of wear that it's getting, I would have continued to use it.

Above are my test photos of the holographic gold foil PVC tarot deck.. It looks good in person but not so much when I try to photograph them... which is a big part of my daily tarot divination/meditation thing.

The Woman Behind The World’s Most Famous Tarot Deck Was Nearly Lost In History

For centuries, people of all walks of life have turned to tarot to divine what may lay ahead and reach a higher level of self-understanding.

The cards’ enigmatic symbols have become culturally ingrained in music, art and film, but the woman who inked and painted the illustrations of the most widely used set of cards today – the Rider-Waite deck from 1909, originally published by Rider & Co. – fell into obscurity, overshadowed by the man who commissioned her, Arthur Edward Waite.

Now, over 70 years after her death, the creator Pamela Colman Smith has been included in a new exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York highlighting many underappreciated artists of early 20th-century American modernism in addition to famous names like Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Nevelson.

Today is a good time to forgive yourself for being a bit remiss on your resolution to minimize your smoking. For the most part of the day, you have stuck to it, resisted the urge to chain smoke, and timed your smoking habits, which is a fantastic first step. Beneath that, there has been reconciliation, growing trust, and a good relationship with your niece. Yes, your college student niece has a fiery assertive attitude, but she means well, despite moments when she has outbursts. The primary advice for you is the scribe, the twelve of air, be an objective observer, unbiased, and factual. You would also do well to keep records of important information and details as well.
