I pulled the Hanged Man

What a soothing color palate of seafoam green and blue! This card has the man who is hanged (yeah, that's right, you hung the laundry but hanged the man, total pet peeve of mine when people get that wrong) upside down by his foot. Three disks, the triangle formed by his arms, an ankh, and a couple of snakes. I'm going to go with a weak sun in the upper part of the card and some water at the bottom.

Who doesn't love the Major Arcana for a mixed message? Is there something holding me back? Looks lke I need to take a time out. With snakes. Maybe I need a pet snake. Maybe I will come across a snake while I am outside today (in the weak Syracuse sun). Guess it is time to reflect on snakes. Snake the drains?

The day's highlights:
My student cancelled tutoring today so I got to have a welcome timeout this morning with no pressing requirements on the day.
I went x-c skiing with one of my friends, the sky was amazing...in blues! (with a weak sun) There were snow-snakes, but no one actually fell :-).
I enjoyed three episodes of the show I am currently watching, like the three disks.
My ex-bf stopped by to say hi. I wonder if that has something to do with the ankh. He has a round head? Two arms? Dunno.
I could not sleep because of the shift in time and because my day was so relaxing, so the day ended with me feeling like I was hanging upsidedown.

The day was overall...sadly free of snakes, but rich in reflection.

I pulled the Princess of Wands. This is interesting. This card has a sleeping tiger with its tail wrapped around the neck of a nude woman (the Princess?) who is holding a sun wand and wearing a weird-ass hat. There are also some flowers with flames shooting out of them...or maybe they are some burning pasteries.  So, hmmm, there is a lot of energy here. Except for the cat. That is a super lazy cat. It looks like I should be avoiding sweets and running naked. Since I have to work today, I think I will keep my clothes on. I feel like I should avoid the cat because she will try to hold me back.  The day's highlights: So I did not avoid sweets. But I successfully didn't eat junk food in the evening...go me. I was all hyped up on life during the day, so I got a lot done. But my over-exuberence was also noted by my coworkers. I made it to the gym for the third time this week and was still wearing clothes. And I have yet to see the cat. Upshot, pa

I pulled the 5 of Wands in reverse. Flaming sticks with two eagle-snakes skewered on the top. The two phoenix heads and the flower wands are criss-crossing with the ribbony flames shooting out. The yellow is a strong bold color. The card is weirdly unsettling to me. I mean, I guess it is supposed to be because it is...strife. But since it is revrsed the card is mitigated. So I guess the day is about avoiding conflict. I kind of feel like the wands represnt me for some reason at this point. I am a stick-in-the-mud? A stick-in-the-eyes? We shall see. The day's highlights: I started the day annoyed and carried it all the way through. Championship. I got stuck on a floor for over three hours and had to weather a number of situations where people were trying to rub me the wrong way. I just sailed through and ignored it all because screw that. The office was over 84 degrees and i was wearing a longsleeve shirt. I decided to wash my car, that was good. I took a walk with my
