This May Day reading, with Patrick Valenza’s Deviant Moon Tarot was insightful as always; a timely reminder to trust one’s instincts and take more care over prioritising.
Turning over this site’s “personal” card (position 10.) The Eight of Cups, shouldn’t be a surprise by now but it is always a pleasant surprise to see “Lily” shunning the negatives, stepping bravely forward on her creative path and chasing the dream!

These cards scare me. DO not know why.

I have never seen this deck before ( I own a collection of some 15 or 20 tarot card decks but recently I prefer working with reinterpretation of a Lenormand deck which is amazing).
In any case, first thing that strikes me is the absence of air in your cards. A lot of earth and water. Whatever it means, it seems, there is no going forward.
There are no “big arcanas” – not sure how they are called in English. Maybe you didn’t use them.

Hello Caroline, thank you very much for your wisdom! Yes, I did use the Major Arcana but not a single one appeared here.
I know some people switch fire and air, but the lack of air seems more appropriate because a number of issues have been vying for my attention lately, pushing my vocation to the sidelines: the one thing that helps me to “breathe”.
This spread has made me determined to pull myself out of this slump and return to myself… The Eight of Cups.
Let me know if anything else occurs to you, your comment has been VERY helpful! xx

completion of an emotional cycle? That’s kind of what it says to me. I get it rsreveed a lot. I have trouble with reverse cards but like your take on it that it sometimes manifests internally when rsreveed.Anywho, I wanted to let ya know I have been reading by email because I can’t get to the site from work anymore..BOO! What do they think my lunch break and the 10 minutes I get there for my shift is for?? Doesn’t it seem that things just kind of went whoooooooooosh when Merc went direct? Crazy? And with sun in virgo it’s like everybody is ready to work..but me..LOL. Not on what I am being paid to work on anyhow.Much love Dixie Enjoy your girl time!

Hi Iman. Maybe I should send an email to your boss suggesting that The Arcade Of Arts & Arcana is essential lunch time reading 😉
You could always send me a friend request on Facebook, I sometimes post extra stuff there too.
You’re right about reaching the end of a cycle, I’ve had some big awakenings lately x
