Texas Tarot Hold'em is back! One deck played through like a game of poker, with every player's hand staying unique and personal! Message me if you'd like to get your own specialized reading, an expansion on the collective reading below!
Ante is $25 per month, but join before the next hand is delt and you get both November weeks, all of December, and the special New Year's Eve spreads! Just want to try one hand? Then $10 gets you personal cards from this week's spread. Here it is:
Burned card: 6 of pentacles
To keep the final number of hands equal, one card has to be burned. This week, the burned card indicates a loss of connectivity and receptivity in all people. Maybe it's just the weather changing, but people are pulling back into their defensive states and the isolation is palpable. Make sure you're doing what you can to hold tightly to the people that matter most, especially as things turn darker.
Flop: Knight of Swords, 5 of Wands, The Hanged Man
Have you ever been stuck in mud with bald tires? Or tried to trace a water leak in a multi-story building? Or, my absolute favorite, tried to buy concert tickets on a mobile phone while driving through the mountains? Some things just don't work. The Knight of Swords and The Hanged Man are exactly this problem. Stuck in a spot where the control feels completely taken from us, most respond with as much force and intensity as they can. The twist is in the way the Hanged Man forces it's hold; It demands submission so that a different perspective can be found. Swords is communication and thought, and meaning no offense.... but how often do you see a person change their mind?
So, the squabble intensifies. The anger intensifies. Some still perceive it as trying to simply improve the total thing, the whole neighborhood NEEDS this after all, but there is simply nothing gained, nor lost, by any of it. That's the other half of the Hanged Man.... while you're not going to move anywhere forward, you're also certainly not falling backwards either. So what the hell is it? Well, it's a moment to look within, if you can seize upon it. Refinement of oneself is the best option when you can't expand beyond yourself. Instead of just fighting against the momentary void, better yourself for when the gates to paradise open next. Don't fight invisible monsters, focus on what is immediately available: you.
Turn: Knight of Wands
Which, judging from this, is not going to be the common choice. Words and reflecting just don't last long, and stubborn activity always feels like results. Picking where to respond to others is going to get key, and remember the entire show right now is about looking for a reason to escalate things. Try to avoid pitfalls that will limit your potential reach. Risks aren't rewarded when the Hanged Man occupies the field, and there are nearly no ways to neutralize his energy in this week's table. You don't have to beat anyone except who you were the day before, and the only people who should help you weigh that are those you chose.
River: 10 of Cups
And the chosen ones are your family. Your people. Your tribe. Your closest of beings. These are the people in the distance we are trying to reach, and with the numerous December activities looming on the horizon, there's going to be a chunk of time and energy devoted to them next. These are the people who help recharge us. So why not make the moves and reach out to them now? You're not going anywhere fast anyway, and sometimes the best solution to a sour mood is better company. With the 6 of pentacles burned you'll have to do the reaching out this week, but it's almost assured if you reach to the people you know value your growth above your service.
Comes down to a nasty battle between the desires to achieve a lot of great things, but being very limited in the opportunities to achieve them. So where are you going to put that frustration? And, honestly, I'm only seeing a Full House as a way to eliminate the Hanged Man's effect on every single person this week, of which only a pair of 10s or 5s makes it possible. This means nobody is seeing great progress right now on any of their fronts. Awful setup for a new moon week, but if you avoid struggling and look for the bigger truth in the moment, then next quarter cycle of the moon you can unleash all the potential storing up. And maybe enjoy company worth your choosing them. Frontline, are you lucky enough to have those pocket pairs? Comment here or message directly to ante up and get your hand going.
