CWelcome Tarot Friends, Kittens, Lovies and Dovies! So happy to see you here! Hope you will find this
Little Book of Tarot Ideas inspiring. Let’s get started! Let’s shake it up, chop, chop!
Frame your question in a way that puts you IN CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE with options. Instead of
a yes/no question it is better to ask:
CBesides being explicit about the issue, always specify a time frame (and place). Remember, the more
specific your question, the more specific the answer. Don’t word your question by the seat of your pants.
Put some thought into it. If you put in the time to set up your question, your cards will reward you with
a clear insight. YAY!
CYou can look up a spread that fits your question or write down your issue in detail, highlight some key
words and phrases and pull a card for each. Voila! You have a custom spread!
CWhile you read the cards, glance at the written question and make sure you frame your reading in terms
of the specific question you have asked.
CShuffle, shuffle, shuffle while focusing on your question. Pull a card when you get an intuitive
DING, DING, DING! (Listen for the custom sound your intuition makes in your head.)
CPlay, free associate to the images. Don’t worry about “the meaning”. Don’t think: OMG, it is a “tarot card!”
and I don’t know the meaning! Sit with it, stay with it. SAY ALOUD whatever comes up for your first.
Don’t censor your thoughts in your head before speaking. You will be surprised how accurate your very first
intuitive hit can be.
CPractice lots. Mix and match ideas about the cards and establish a reference library of your own meanings.
CEvery card can be viewed as some parts of you relating to your question. A card can signify things going
on inside of your mind, heart and body or stuff in your environment.
SFor each card, you’ll find a short description of its basic meaning. This is followed by a list of challenges
each card could be revealing to you. Some readers interpret a card as “negative” if it appears upside down.
But, really, it’s just showing you its shadow side. (Yup. There’s no light without a shadow SC)
I refer to this aspect of the cards as “in a pickle.” When you’re in a pickle, you’re as disoriented and mixed
up as the veggies in their salty vinegar base! Sure, it can be unpleasant! But pickles are CUTE!
The shadow aspects of any card are like a friend saying, “Hello?! Is this what you really want? You can stop
this right now! Or, you can do what you’re doing differently!” Take this as a reminder that you can turn on
your own heart-charm power and get out of any fix! Pull another card to find out how ... or just
study the lesson of the previous card in the tarot sequence for another suggestion.
CThe following card descriptions are not “complete”. There are a million things to say about each card.
I am hoping that you will find this short guide useful.

JjI THE MAGICIANkK Yes, you can! U PICK your mission a.k.a. choose your own Holy Grail.
C The unbound, raw energy of the Fool is getting channeled into a specific task or action. The Magician
decides what she wants and she will make it happen. She uses her Kitten Ears to tune into her sixth sense,
her cat power instincts. The inside of her cosmic red cape harbors the universe with all its stars and planets.
Which one would you like to travel to? What kind of ride do you fancy? Magic carpet or an ultra snazzy
space rocket? Or would you like to transform a corner of the desert into a garden? But of course! What is
your will? Decide what it is you hunger for the most, FOCUS, set that intention, sweep your wand, say the
magic words. What are the magic words? You decide that as well. Words carry energy so only say what
supports your goal. Name it. Make a mantra or a spell! Persevere till you succeed. Cheers baby, go baby,
blossoms up!
S The Magician In a Pickle
oo Are you getting burnt out from overwork? Slow down, loosen up. Be more mindful about
where you are spending your energy in an unproductive manner.
oo If you are feeling frustrated, if you have to force it too much, it is not right for you.
oo Is this what YOU want?! Or are you toiling away for someone else’s bottom line?
JjII THE HIGH PRIESTESSkK You are the Oracle! You know where THE treasure is.
CNow that you decided what it is that you want, you need to put in some work. You need to go on a quest to
claim your dream. Imagine you are the High Priestess. You dive deep into the depths of the ocean to retrieve
your treasure. Your heart is your compass. Your desire for your grail (your goal) shows you the way thru
the crashing waves. This immense ocean can symbolize the subconscious mind. All your memories, secrets,
JjIII THE EMPRESSkK Hurray, it is spa day for your creativity and your body.
CYou are in the garden. Everywhere you look there are flower laden branches. Delicate blossoms travel
in the breeze. A murmuring brook waters and nourishes all the plants. The Empress (Our Goddess of
everlasting Pink Blossoms and our Fountain of all creative projects) sits amidst her beautiful creations.
Hang onto your hats Kittens! Is she made of the plants and flowers of the garden herself? Yes! AND, she is
also painting them into being! She is playfully bringing forth anything she desires into physical form. She
grows, nourishes, manifests EVERYTHING: your body, your children, your artwork. She is the ultimate
mama to it ALL. Be good to you and treat yourself, and your masterpieces with maximum love. Take care
of yourself, like the most loving parent in the world would. Become your own Empress and create your
world as you like.
SThe Empress In a Pickle:
oo Are you letting your garden over grow? Are you not keeping up the care of your body? Are you
neglecting your art or something you have created (art, human, animal?)
oo Are you treating your project or yourself like an evil stepmother?
oo Are you letting opportunities slip away? Are you too tired or busy to nourish your (brain) children?
Let the ease and the beauty of the Empress show you how to tap into your own lushly potent genius.
JjV THE HIEROPHANTkK Tuning into you. Who do you listen to? Who do you believe?
CWhat is up? My big ears!!! Yup! Did you know that when you commit yourself to inquire within, when you
JjX THE WHEELkK Just roll with it, baby. This is the (r)evolution.
CThe wheel is turning, like it or not. You plant a seed and by the time the wheel completes a cycle you have
harvest. Nature takes care of stuff like the seasons and the weather. Similarly, we have cycles/phases in our lives.
Some serve us, some hurt us. Are you consciously creating patterns (choosing to repeat actions) that serve you
my dear Kitten? Or are you leaving it to luck, hoping that the wheel will deliver you something tasty that you
like? Change is constant, there is no controlling or stopping change. If you are getting dizzy, your best bet is
to chill in the middle at the center of the wheel. The Radiant Hearted Baby Buddha sporting a bunny hat lives
here, visit with him for a while. This is the only place the where the motion stops. He will teach you the secret
of moving into your new phase of life with effortless poise and a light heart: relax, let go, just flow with
it baby.
SThe Wheel In a Pickle:
oo Are you finding yourself wanting to cling onto something that is changing? Ah, I know this is hard,
but try to see the gift in the incoming shift of your affairs. You might be surprised how everything
JjXII THE HANGED MANkK Reverse your attitude in solitude. Change your mind (about yourself).
CSuper handsome Mr. Morning Glory Bud is hanging out, taking pleasure in kicking back. The sunlight
coaxed his fellow Bud Cubs to open and blossom already, but what is the rush? He has his noise canceling
bud-hat on, so he cannot hear the others’ chatter that would most likely scatter his focus. Plus, it feels so
cozy to be in the cocoon of the bud. You too can take some time out to mull over your core beliefs you hold
to be true. Meditate, chill, visualize your best case scenario, believe you are sumptuous, wondrous, luscious.
Consider some new perspectives, uproot habitual ways of thinking and old assumptions. You might not have
all the answers right this minute and that is OK. Change your point of reference. Practice empathy, stop
talking and just listen. Try something new, something you have never done before. Yoga inversions anyone?
SThe Hanged Man In a Pickle:
oo You feel bound and uncomfortable, not at all at peace, struggling to free yourself from the grip
of the shackles that feel suffocating. The more you try to use raw force to get out, the worse it will
get. Turn your assumptions upside down for a sec and see if you get a new insight. Put yourself in
their shoe for a moment, OK?
oo You got your panties up in a bunch?! Relax, it will be fine. Your reaction is out of proportion.
JjXIV TEMPERANCEkK Reinvent your radiant self. Mix and match your perfect life.
CTemperance is patient and kind. She is super smart, she knows her stuff. She is a curious, creative scientist,
alchemist. She formulates all sort of goods: healing soul balms, magic potions. She tempers rainbows (as
if it was chocolate) into strawberry glazes. What is her goal? Changing/transmuting one thing/condition
to another. Or, to find the elixir of life. In her laboratory, she experiments via trial and error. She uses her
practical knowledge and her intuition. She mixes and matches possible ingredients to achieve her desired
results. What is her secret? Balance and moderation, using ingredients in the right proportion. What are
you making of your life? Are you enjoying the process? You could be anything you want be as long as you
are willing to play and you mind the rules.
STemperance In a Pickle:
oo You buy into some phony arrangement, like buying a knockoff perfume or snake oil
from a charlatan.
Don’t let others sell you their recipe for success.
oo You are too busy getting involved in other people’s lives... Pay attention to your own stuff hon.
oo Are you feeling depleted and dry, maybe having a creative block? The remedy is some no
agenda playtime.
JjXV THE DEVILkK Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the show and watch your step on the way down
(to rock bottom if that is your pleasure today).
CWell, you ignored following Temperance’s recommendation of mixing and matching in moderation? Now
you are in deep. Are you digging deep for a creative treasure, exploring your dark side? Are you digging deep
to heal yourself and accept even the shadowy bits of your soul? Or, are you in deep, stuck in the mud of this
dark dirt-floored cave, and you can’t seem to be able to move anymore? Which one is it? How are you feeling?
Check in with yourself. Are you breathless from creative excitement? Are you feeling lethargic in the heavy,
poppy laced subterranean air? In a situation, like this, I would advise you to mind the details and read all
the small print. You know how the devil is in them. There could be long term consequences or even hell to
pay later if you make a careless choice now. But you don’t want to think about such boring things right? The
cool-aid looks refreshing and you are parched. Did you notice that the wait staff is pretty weird looking and
they are not wearing much clothing? Well, it is hot in here! The mood is quite peculiar, maybe kind of cool?!
Electric blue mushrooms pulse with magical poison, snakes wriggle about and the cocktail umbrella is a bat...
So, will you take a sip? I know you want to…or will you get yourself together and take a beeline for the exit
that opens to a sunny meadow, to freedom?
SThe Devil In a Pickle:
oo You are allowing your energy to get drained by harmful habits. Vampire-like humans make you tired.
You believe in lies. You are indulging. A lot. You feel guilty. You blame, you
co-depend, you avoid
finding out why you are in pain. You hurt and that becomes your whole life.
oo You feel like you cannot control anything. There nothing you can do, or is there? Take one small step at a
time establish your boundaries mentally and physically. Ask for help stat
from a loved one you trust.
JjXVI THE TOWERkK Oh, no, not now….
CIf you are reluctant to leave the Devil’s lair, a divine commando will bust you out of there sooner or later.
You cannot stay down there forever, chained to your illusions and misconceptions. It is time to get on with
the program! Commandos tend to be bit heavy handed tho and they never give you advance notice. Your
rescue experience can range from mild annoyance to sheer panic. The Tower Task Force usually strikes at an
inconvenient time. They might show up in the middle of the night or early morning while you are buttering
your toast. All your (ego driven) shenanigans you were busy with will be interrupted. Your pants might catch
on fire too if you know what I mean. You can try to grab a stash of cash or hold onto your official status or
your limiting beliefs but it is no use. You will be set free from all these trimmings like it or not. The truth will
JjXXI THE WORLD kK Congrats, you did it! You take the crown, you win the cake!
CIt is your song playing at the Disco of Life and everybody it getting down to it. You are having the time
of your life bogeying down with your supporting team of Kittens! Enjoy, jump for joy! Immerse yourself in
this moment, have a ball!
SThe World In a Pickle:
oo You are sitting it out. Your dance card is empty, no one asked you to dance. Honey! Get up and show
us your moves.
oo No matter how perfect things are in your world Princess, you are still not happy. You are still feeling
the pea under your pile of mattresses. You can’t stop feeling annoyed and bothered, and you are not
even sure why.
i WANDSK
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
The wands are the FIRE like life force energy that makes you and everything else live. It is the 24/7 energy
fuel for life, for love, for inspiration/motivation, for taking action. If you have it, you have GLOW. Have none,
and it will blow: you will feel spent and burnt out. The thing to remember is to take care of this energy like
you would tned to a real fire you want to cook with. Start small with kindling, and keep feeding it adding
more or less fuel depending on your needs.
iACE OF WANDSK
The sparks are flying, the energy is surging thru the sky. Babe, this is hot, hot, hot!!!! This card is a mega fiery
thumb up from the universe. You have the lighter. Will, you set this thing ablaze? Say YES!
In a Pickle:
oo This is a no go, dead end, no support.
oo It is over before it started. If you can’t figure out how to rekindle it, let go or just simply walk away.
iTHREE OF WANDSK
Good job keeping up the energy flow and getting things done. Now we are cooking! All that fire is put to
good use, cooking up something yum. Great progress.
In a Pickle:
oo Keep your eye on the pot: “The cook’s place is in the kitchen,” my grandfather used to say.
oo Don’t overestimate your resources. Make sure you have enough fuel for your needs.
iFOUR OF WANDSK
The meal is ready and served, time for a dinner party! Enjoy the fruits of your labor with your friends.
You put a lot of energy into this and it turned out lovely. Have fun! Bask in the glow, savor the flavor.
In a Pickle:
oo Don’t overeat, OK? Don’t push yourself to unhealthy levels.
oo Who cares what other people think? No one’s judging you. Relax and enjoy where you are.
iFIVE OF WANDSK
Just when you thought you can sit on your laurels, and take a nap after the big meal, a challenge arises.
You gotta get it together and get up. You must leave the safety of your comfort zone! You must face this!
You can do it, you will be glad you did. Have a sporty attitude, all right?!
In a Pickle:
oo Don’t get carried away with your competitiveness and act like a jerk. Please.
oo Rash action might give you an unpleasant rash later. So look before you jump.
iSIX OF WANDSK
Yay, you made it, you pulled it off! You WIN! You are beaming with joy and enthusiasm. This is
super good news, a winning ticket, and well-deserved rewards.
In a Pickle:
oo Don’t get all cocky about your success. Lots of people helped you get here.
oo I’m so sorry it didn’t work out this time. You can always try again. See what you’ve learned from
this experience.
iSEVEN OF WANDSK
What?! Did the dragon take your favorite pet?! That is outrageous!!!! You must get him back, NOW! You
don’t have much time to think of a strategy but you have amazing instincts to handle this. Be brave and
get this done! You must stand up for yourself. You can turn this around!
In a Pickle:
oo Know when to quit so you can stop wasting your energy. Don’t run yourself into a wall, either.
oo Please make up your mind already—for the benefit of all involved. You’re stalling.
iEIGHT OF WANDSK
Wow, what momentum out of the blue! Fly, fly butterfly sweetie pie! This sudden energy surge is such a sweet
ride and it is so refreshing! Things are happening super fast and it is all for
the best.
In a Pickle:
oo Are you jumping to conclusions? Check the facts first, Honey Bun.
oo Being a stick in the mud?! Totally not fun.
oo Yes, you’re in a hurry, but you still must do your due diligence to avoid mistakes.
iTEN OF WANDSK
Oh, boy. Imagine, you are a scarab beetle who excels at pushing poop along. Except right now, this little
sucker Turd Beast won’t move… Just when it matters the most, at the qualifiers for the Poop Rolling race!
WTF! I know you are super frustrated but don’t try to force this with sheer power. Use your head, get some
perspective or take a break or get some help.
In a Pickle:
oo You’re feeling mad and intolerant, and you’re trying hard not show it. It’s only a question of time
before you blow your top.
oo If you prefer to be intolerant then that’s gonna be a huge problem. Prejudice blows.
iPAGE OF WANDSK

so impulsive it makes me blush! How passionate, hot, adventuresome you are! to thrill, You are overflowing

to deal with later on.

generous, dignified and warm-hearted you are. It is also a fact that you are a fantastic catch: you cherishes
your significant other as an equal creative partner.
In a Pickle:
oo All your good work/success, has gone to your head huh?!
oo Vain, arrogant, intolerant, non-Bueno. Don’t let your head get THAT big.
oo Are you too impatient? Do you really believe everyone else is incompetent?
hCUPSK
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Cups are WATER energy. They symbolize your EMOTIONS (universal, instinctual reactions to threat/
reward that alter your physical state) and FEELINGS (subjective meaning assigned to emotions, influenced
by personal experience, memories, beliefs). Love, relationships, healing belongs here. What is water like?
It is a refreshing, flowing, vital liquid. It nourishes all life. It is all wonderful until it stops flowing and
moving and gets putrid. Then what you get? Mosquitoes! Water can move gently (caressing or eroding)
and it can move violently as well. Just think of a flooding river or a stormy ocean. Fasten your seatbelt
and enjoy your adventure in the pleasure ground of the Cups.
hACE OF CUPSK
Let’s fill up our hungry hearts to the brim with super tasty blessings! Open your eyes and recognize the
grace and favors being bestowed upon you. Happiness and fulfillment of your earthly desire can be yours
only if you are open to this heavenly opportunity.
In a Pickle:
oo Aimless daydreaming or a closely guarded heart are blocking your progress.
oo Are you operating from your head? Let your heart get a word in. You’ll like what you’ll hear.
hTWO OF CUPSK
Your open heart is so gorgeous it has attracted a kindred connection. This can be any kind of relationship,
business or romantic or a friendship. You two have great chemistry. Enjoy frolicking and playing together
in the warm tropical waters of mutual understanding and love.
In a Pickle:
oo The separation makes you disappointed you. You were just not a match.
oo Unhealthy dependence on another does not serve you and it does not feel good either. And you
know it, too.
oo A conflict of interest is busting this deal.
hTHREE OF CUPSK
1+2=3! You two have created a third, wonderful new thing. What a joyful development! Fill your heart with
gratitude. Cherish this beautiful phase of abundance and success.
hFOUR OF CUPSK
It is a lazy Sunday afternoon and you are on a luxury picnic with your best friends. You have filled up your
tummy with delicious treats. Everyone feels buzzed from the drinks and all that beauty around you. It seems
like this feeling of satisfaction will last forever. What could ever change this secure perfection?
In a Pickle:
oo Change is inevitable. Don’t fool yourself into thinking your situation will stay like this till the
end of time.
oo Are you feeling unfulfilled? Hungover? Jaded by your luxurious life? Take a look around for the
inspiration you need to bounce you out of your complacency.
oo Don’t get too possessive, darling. You are being desperate. Less cling, more bling!
hFIVE OF CUPS
I am so sorry to see you experiencing such painful feelings. You are coping with disappointment and
loneliness too. If all this makes you only want to sit on your private lotus leaf island and cry all day, that is
OK. But you know what? You don’t have to be alone. See your Bunny Buddy trying to get your attention from
the shore? He has a picnic basket! He will also advise you to recognize that something even better will come
your way super soon! Please also note that your Frog Butler is holding up two full cups of happiness juice.
Have a small sip at least, OK?
In a Pickle:
oo The situation couldn’t be any more clear but you don’t see the writing on the wall...
oo You refuse to feel your feelings. Bottling them up will be too hard in the long term. Attend to your
heart now.
hSIX OF CUPS
See, you are OK! Actually, you are more than OK. You are feeling balanced and happy, musing over some
sweet, innocent memories. They take you back to a time when your reality was all peaches and cream.
Back then, there was rainbow topping of blessings sprinkled over your days. An enchanted white horse
was standing by to whisk you on to yet another cloud. Ahhhh. Remembrance of Things Past…(Marcel
Proust whose photo is on the wall wrote a whole trilogy about this) Go ahead, drink it all in. Take pleasure
in reveling. Reminiscing is a great way to inspire you to move on. Or, to get into a creative, productive,
pleasurable flow.
In a Pickle:
oo Don’t wallow in the past, darling. Memory Lane can prove to be a muddy, slippery slope.
oo Hello? Anybody home? Come back to earth, you have stuff to do.
hSEVEN OF CUPS
You are out hiking in a neon-colored forest trying out your new rose-colored glasses. You suddenly realize
that you are sooo thirsty. Oh, no! Is your water bottle empty already?! Thankfully, the seven flavored soda
waterfall is just around the next meadow. It has seven options to quench your thirst. Which flavor would
delight you most? Cherry or orange or cola?! Don’t get too dazzled by all the snazzy choices. Only the plain
looking freshwater option in the very middle will hydrate your body and soul. So the bottom line is: don’t
get distracted by wishful thinking or deceptive illusions. Sharpen your focus on one thing and follow thru.
In a Pickle:
oo Self-deception, you would prefer not to see the truth.
oo Indulging in soda or other forms of addiction that will only hurt you in the end.
hEIGHT OF CUPSK
If you are an oyster, and you see some oyster-catcher birds squeezing lemon on the oyster bed next door, getting
ready to dine, what do you do? You get out of there! Hoping that they will eat their fill before they get to your

cups are filled to the brim with the magic tonic of your choice. This is your lucky, joyous, happiest bliss day!
Relax, pamper yourself and take it all in.
In a Pickle:
oo Whatever you’re doing or consuming, it has way too much sugar in it. Stop forcing it.
oo Are you feeling pretentious, huffy-puffy, arrogant?!
oo Are you bummed about your plans not quite working out? Keep going! Your moment is just around the corner.
hTEN OF CUPSK
Perfect ten is your score in the game of life. You are as happy as can be. The harmony you have been desiring for
so long is finally yours. Enjoy all the heart warming comforts and be grateful for your partnerships. Celebrate!
Count your blessings, they are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
In a Pickle:
oo Easy come, easy go.
oo Let go of your expectations and enjoy what you do have. Don’t be jealous and don’t think that the grass
is always greener on the other side.
hPAGE OF CUPSK
Hello Dreamy Girl! How creative, affable and sensitive you are! You are a muse, the sweetest dreamer! Your
sensitive and highly romantic heart is always longing for something to love. You are impulsive, you love to
share/express your feelings (with friends, in your diary or thru art). No matter what, (imaginary) adventures
with you are pure delight.
In a Pickle:
oo Are your goals too vague? Make a concrete plan of action.
oo Are you flirting with someone for your own entertainment? Heart-breaker, karma-maker!
oo Are you being way too naive, telling tall tales or deceiving yourself?
hKNIGHT OF CUPSK
Oh, hello there Dream Boat! How elegantly you float into my field of vision with your perfect body….You
must have a black belt in some martial art! All that diligent training really shows…And that man bun!
(What do you look like with your hair down?!) Is that a glass of champagne for me?!?!?! Yes!…. Ah, Knight
of Cups master of grace and pleasure. Let me hear your poetry! Charm me, woo me, romance me. Love is
like a magical roller coaster with you. This energy is what romance novels are made of is mine (for a while).
Until we will have exhausted the inspiration we can offer each other, you will be my joie de vivre.
In a Pickle:
oo Is your honey or the situation you find yourself in is a fake/pretend? Is this a relationships based on
looks/superficial stuff and nothing else?
oo If he makes you feel like you are not up to his standards, just let him move on.
oo This is only flattery, not true feelings.
hQUEEN OF CUPSK
Queen of all the Waters. Hail thee, supreme artistic, intuitive, patient and kind queen. You are as gentle as
the lapping ocean waves on a calm day. You are open and patient. You listen to your own inner voice and you
live true to yourself. You feel deeply, you are devoted to your loved ones and you are affectionate. You are a
soul-mate to one lucky being.
hKING OF CUPSK
Hello beloved King of Cups! You are wise, cultured, sensitive, helpful, creative, noble and kind. You have
been thru so much and now you are using your experience and talents to heal all the hearts in the world.
Thank you for all your work. You dropped your anchor in my heart too. No one can understand me like
you can. I am your open book. You rejuvenate my life force. You heal me. You know how to get things
done efficiently with love. You are the prefect mix of yin and yang.
In a Pickle:
oo Are you taking unfair advantage?
oo Are you running after a mirage?
oo Don’t blur the lines in a professional relationship.
oo Don’t be a selfish shellfish!
jSWORDSK
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Swords bring in AIR like energy. All-permeating, this energy is like the oxygen we breathe. Clear and
invisible—or made visible if polluted or too cold. Swords symbolize your thoughts, what goes through your
head, your self-talk, your fears, your mental attitude and mental health. Your clear, rational thoughts can
bring you to a life-affirming mountain high, make you feel vibrant and alive. On the other hand, if your
head is filled with thoughts of blame and fear, your thoughts can get you lost in a suffocating smog.
JCalmly focus, cut the crap!
I see my path clear, no the traps!
I commit to pull up my bootstraps,
To intuit a clear road-map.
Self discipline and my truth
Improves my own attitude,
And brings all my chicks home to roost!K
jACE OF SWORDSK
Cheers for cutting thru that bunch of crap of a dark cloud! Alexander the Great cut the Gordian knot with
a single swoosh of his sword. He did not get bogged down with the details, he did not try to loosen it with
his hands. He made one brilliant move and that was it. He became the ruler of Asia as the Oracle predicted.
Use your head and welcome a new “revelation level” idea or brilliant clarity.
In a Pickle:
oo Hairsplitting much!?
oo Calculating for best advantage? It’s not working. You’re just getting tangled up even more.
oo Whatever it is you’re thinking, it’s a no-go.
jTWO OF SWORDSK
Our beautiful diamond legged Peace Dove Princess finds a fair, neutral balance in all things. She quiets the chatter
of her mind and allows the most desirable alternative to arise. Balance is your friend. Your best bet is to
be impartial and objective.
In a Pickle:
oo Doubts and blocks. Freaking out or spacing out, something is stalling your flow. Take a break, go
for a walk or a swim. Freshen up your perspective.
oo Sticking your head in the sand leaves you no air to breathe. This issue needs to be tended to now.

You have been thru the ringer. Please give yourself some time out. Recharge, refuel your plane, enjoy a
nourishing beverage, rest up. There is no point rushing about right now. Flight conditions are not in your
favor anyway. Visibility is low with all that fog. You need to sit this one out, collect your strength. Taking
a break does not mean you are giving up. So don’t lose your confidence. The weather always shifts.
In a Pickle:
oo You’re at a standstill but not at peace. How can you take care of yourself right now?
oo You’ve pushed yourself too hard. Don’t risk illness; get some rest. Once you have your strength back,
you’ll be ready to start working on a game-changing plan.

Here comes the neighborhood bully! Watch out! It is a stampede! He is ready to humiliate or hurt whoever
gets in his way. For him the end justifies the means, no matter the cost. One brave kitten stands up to him.
The other kitten has given up all hope, he is defeated. Which
one of these three characters reflect your
thinking? Are some troubling thoughts torment you like this?
In a Pickle:
oo This conflict is long overdue. Confrontation is unpleasant, but you can’t avoid it anymore.
Better to handle this head-on.
oo If you feel like you need to smudge your place, do it.

Since this situation has not worked out, let us move on. Let’s explore a different perspective. Doesn’t it feel
good to take action and make a change? Make sure you are objectively weighing your options. Let’s fancy
you do some exploring.

oo Are you being unrealistic or overly theoretical? One practical action will move you in the right direction.
jSEVEN OF SWORDSK
Not willing to face things honestly with yourself is even harder than not being honest with others. It takes
nonstop effort to keep holding up your mask while you are walking on a sword’s edge at the same time.
Your arm will start hurting soon enough or you might slip and cut your foot or will have to face even more
dire consequences. Even if it feels like you are taking some sort of decisive action that looks like a good idea
to you at the moment, please take a minute and evaluate how you might be out of alignment for one reason
or another. Pull up your Chickie Chick Productive Pants, and give facing things head on a try.

oo Whatever you think of doing is hopelessly futile.
oo It’s all lies and a pit of snakes. Yikes! Stay away.

This is a mega overwhelm, an interference, a dry spell. Some oppressing negative thoughts are making
mincemeat out of your intuition. You are feeling timid, powerless, anxious and repressed. Don’t buy into this

Your fears, anxiety, and worries are robbing you of sleep. Cruel, scary creatures of the night play out all
sorts of scenarios you are terrified of. Are you finding yourself in a destructive tunnel of quicksand?

nightcap and trust that you are taken care of. You are not responsible for all this stuff (alone).
In a Pickle:

oo Shame, guilt, hate. Ugh! Take some time off. You need a (mental) vacation, stat!
jTEN OF SWORDSK
What a relief! This is it finally!You are done with this!. The balloon has burst. The final straw had been
drawn. Say sayonara to painful entanglements, obsessions, addictions, keeping up a fake happy face.

on and start afresh.

In a Pickle:
oo Sharp criticism, conflicts, confrontation, arguments. You don’t need to bite someone’s head off to
get your idea across.

Pentacles are associated with the EARTH element. Earth is steady, grounding, solid, dependable. Think about
how the earth below your feet nurtures all the trees and plants. The earth also hides precious stones, minerals
and other natural resources. The earth feeds us and holds us and all of our stuff, too. In the suit of Pentacles,
earth energy represents all the layers of physical manifestation: your body, your health, your finances, your
belongings. Earth can be soft and nourishing and sensuous. Or it can be hard as a rock, infertile, stubborn
and insensitive.

Go with the flow of your intuition. Stay open, adoptive, light, playful and you will succeed.

Good, solid setup you have there wealthy Merchant Squirrel. You have been working diligently and now

feeling all comfy in your furs. You are the king of your safe zone castle. Yup! You are well prepared for all
eventualities. Good for you!

Oh no! The situation or shall we say crisis, looks pretty serious for Hansel and Gretel. They are lost in the
woods (after their parents deserted them to save on their living expenses. Yes, that is the original version of
the tale). These poor kids are hungry and heartbroken. Gretel just knocked her feet on a rock and now it is
bleeding……Bad fortune keep piling up at every turn! This is what it feels like when you are way out of your
comfort zone. You recognize that you don’t belong. How will you handle this situation? What would Hansel
and Gretel do? Even though the witch’s gingerbread house is close by, it will take quite a bit of ingenuity and
some time to get their life on track again. But Hansel and Gretel have what it takes and so do you. If you figure
out what it is exactly that is not working for you and find a new approach, you can find your way and your
tribe again.

have turned a goal into a huge success. Now everyone can have a portion of the resulting bounty.

kKING OF PENTACLES
Hello Daddy-O! Is that gold dust on your Cheerios?! But actually, I doubt you ever eat cereal. Luxury category
foods and fine wines are more like it for you. Some say you have the Midas touch. Your wealth and resources
are a result of long years of hard work tho. You have built your empire from the ground up so you have tons of
hands-on experience. Your business and other decisions are always down to earth. People who work for you
appreciate the security you guarantee them. Even the Crown Holder Kittens can count on a great pension plan.
You are the ultimate provider for your family as well. You make a great dad and a faithful partner as well.
In a Pickle:
oo A my-way-or-the-highway attitude will leave you with no friends.
oo Buying, buying, hoarding, hoarding!? Time to spark some joy!
oo Are you throwing your weight around just because you can? Are you a gorilla?!
oo Your shirt is so tightly buttoned it hurts to see. How do you breathe? Lighten up your
hard-line convictions.
Your Inner Child lives in your Innermost, deepest Heart Space. Hopefully this innermost Heart Space is not
so far away that you never visit. This Child is the most creative and most vulnerable part of yourself. See how
inspired her style is? Mushroom hat (cute, warm, protective and noise cancelling), ‘fresh as a daisy’ collar,
super bright, comfy outfit with leggings (for all sorts of play activities, jumping and climbing). Her dress has
a pocket too! What does she keep in there?! It is something precious and fun. Something she treasures and
loves. What is it? How old is she? Ask! Your Inner Child wants to be with you, she needs to be assured that
you (now as a strong, capable adult) are in charge of your life. She can relax and do what she is best at: playing
and creating. When this card comes up, it is an invitation to visit your deepest Heart of Hearts. Come inside
and see this Child part of your Heart. He/she needs to hear that you are always there for her, love her,
will never abandon her. Confirm that your are willing to let her Light shine thru in your life via play and
creative action.
Yup. Get out of your head. Lift up your arms. Vigorously draw a few big heart shapes in the air and make this
declaration in a loud voice. See if any new ideas spring up. We are all cheering you on!

You got this! WOW! Your wish has been granted! Your Blossom Kitten Guardian Spirit just sprung up and
out from an enchanted, orange-pink flower blossom amidst a symphony of bells. Her tail is sprouting a
Magical Flower too! You have done it! You have been showing up on your own behalf. Yay! How delightful!
You have created this Magic! Enjoy!
Yes, you are. You can choose anything you want at any moment (within the laws/and boundaries of the know
universe such as gravity and stuff). Of course there are consequences to every choice but YOU are in charge,
U PICK! What will it be? Strawberries or apples or you can just keep driving and not pick anything right now
cause you have other things to do or you are not ready. Whatever you decide, it is not good/bad. Any choice
is fine, it will just take you down a DIFFERENT PATH. Where do you want to go? Wherever you go, there
you are!
