Tarot Talks February 10, 2011 Friday© Okay, guys: Feedback, please. Is this a better format than putting the meaning of the cards after every sentence fragment? Seems to me the concept may be delivered even better this way? Should I even do BOTH? Let me know what you think works … and whether this is of interest to you. It is directly about the meaning of the cards, rather than being about your day. Here are the eleven sentences in full that we are deconstructing, numbered. Sharing the Trouble (Three of Cups + Ten of Pentacles) 1. Even in the worst of our troubled times together, we make the very best time of it. 2. Share the burden to mutual benefit, waiting out troubled financial times. 3. We are in this dysfunctional relationship or family or organization together for a while to come; it is our path. 4.We all pulled together contributed and chipped in when members of our clan had overwhelming problems. Financial Trouble (Ace of Pentacles + Ten of Cups) 5. Our big profit begins a slow progress (climb) out of all of our difficulties. 6. We pool our resources/assets and share our liabilities in this financial slowdown. 7. The company is in deep trouble, we all pitch in for mutual benefit. 8. Our financial troubles are extreme but we have enough money to enjoy life. 9. People’s business profits are burdened by corrupt organizations. 10. Celebrate the prosperity you do have in a political depression. 11. We all pulled together when members of our clan had long-term money problems ACE OF PENTACLES + THREE OF CUPS
