The World:

Sheer joy. Reaching and completing goals. A conclusion. Feeling on top of the world between Earth and Heaven. A woman is in the between. Is she ascending to Heaven or descending to Earth?
---
I'm always stuck in the past and wary of the future. I never want the future to come. In fact, I have a fear of it. I don't want any of it to happen because it means I will change, not just in appearance but also in personality. Will I become cold and callous or learn to accept things for how they are even though they don't seem to be how they ought to?

Today I'm happy for the future. I'm annoyed and apprehensive toward it, but I'm weeding out the negative. I'm making plans to be how I want to be, and that takes time, lots of time. Which means I need to willingly and happily go into the future. I need to embrace it and deal with the past. I'm sure that once that happens I'll be floating, just like the woman depicted.

The Sun:

Today I have an optimism. It's kind of like that song; I'm heading for the sun. I have my goals and I won't let anything get in the way of them. I've figured out the pattern, just like the card says, and I've got plans. I have to trust that everything will work out because that's all I have. It was only yesterday that my trust was faltering, but today it is strengthened. I can either follow my plans as best as I can and come out with something, or I can quit and have nothing. But that's not happening today. I know I'm not superhuman; I can't follow my plans perfectly. But I can follow and try for 80%. In the end, I may not get the whole reward, but I'll receive most of it. All. Because. I. Tried. I didn't give in. I didn't give up.

Five of Swords:

A man carries 3 swords, collecting all five, with an arrogant and smug look upon his face. Two men are hunched over in anger and shame. This 'winner' is rubbing his win in their faces, becoming the real loser in the personality contest. Sure, he won the battle and doesn't regard them as a threat, but he's not exactly a diamond in the ruff. The sky is purple and dark, the trees bare. It's the smug man's true self. He's trickery and very twisted. He'll cheat to get what he wants and make people think it's what they need.

Is this card me for the day or someone else I'm familiar with? Maybe I feel tricked by something in my life. Actually, that makes perfect sense since I was thinking about that before I shuffled this deck. This thing, I fear, is tricking me. Trying to sabotage my plans, my schedule. I'll find out the truth tomorrow or the next day, but, until then, I'll continue to feel cheated.

Wealth:

A woman stands in only fur, admiring the money around her. But not only is she surrounded, she is also standing in her riches. The woman is bathing in wealth. In fact, her feet are buried in gold coins. She's grounded by it. It's her focus. She has already bought that fur coat, so maybe today she is rich, but tomorrow poor.
---
Today the glass is half full instead of running on empty. I didn't wake up in a great mood, but it changed to one. I feel happy with what I have. I've got a lot of stuff, but I'm nowhere near full of money like the woman portrayed in the card. So I think this card means that I feel wealthy with my life. I'm full and I don't need more because I love what I've got. At least that's the meaning as I perceive it for today, because I highly doubt I'll be coming into a fortune, any kind of fortune, today!

King of Pentacles:

This card seems to be my dad. He's come over for dinner. He's a business man, stubborn and all about making money. That's one of his main interests. While here, he talked about getting things cheap from China: 42" TVs and a whole new kitchen. All for very cheap compared to the costs here. He likes deals, my dad. We also talk to him about buying the big stuff and little because he might be able to get a deal. Flooring, paint, computers, appliances, etc. He has lots of friends who can give him discounts. This card is my father. Exactly.

Daily Reading: Yesterday

The Sun:

Happiness, joy, success. Everything is going well and right. I'm young, healthy, and my brain is clear. Everything once hard works just right. It all clicks and everything falls into place because there are solutions to all the problems.
---
Yesterday we moved all the furniture in the living room. Everything seemed to work. When there was a problem, we managed to find all the right solutions and it was fixed. We worked all day and part of the night. Nothing was too heavy or too hard. We could do anything. And it worked out perfectly. Everything went great!

Daily Reading: May 1st

Ace of Disks:

New beginnings or possibilities involving new projects. The start of something new. It will be a success, from start to finish.
---
I went to Ikea and bought some furniture. It was a new project as I had to construct them. I always love putting together the pieces. I never mind that. In the end, it was a success.

*My internet stopped working for a few days. That's why this and May 2's draw are late.
