My Morning Tarot Madness
So today I grabbed my deck totally on a whim, y’know? Sun was shining, feeling antsy, needed some insight. Decided it was finally time to figure out this Prince of Wands dude properly. Guidebooks? Nah. Too stiff. My brain tunes those out after half a page.
Shuffled like crazy, just letting my mind wander. Pulled the card. Boom. There he is, Mr. Fiery Hair himself. Lion at his feet, staff held high. Okay, memory kicks in – vaguely recall something about “passion” and “action,” but it felt kinda muddy. Like, what does he actually do?
Dove into my old scribbles. Found a page from ages ago where I drew him with little lightning bolts shooting off everywhere. Honestly looked like a toddler’s doodle. Underneath, my own terrible handwriting: “Lots of energy! Gets bored quick?” Wow, super insightful past me. Not helpful. Couldn’t find any juicy personal stories linked to him in my messy notes either. Just… nothing.
Felt stuck. Decided my brain needed fueling. Made coffee. Like, a lot of coffee. Extra strong. Poured it into my chipped mug – the one I only use for days when I need serious brainpower. Sat back down, stared at the card hard. This time, focused on his face. That look he’s giving the sphinx? Not challenge. It’s more like… restless curiosity. It clicked.
Here’s the raw stuff that spilled out into my notebook after the caffeine hit:
- All Gas, Sometimes No Brakes: This guy wants to do everything RIGHT NOW. Big ideas spark like crazy, but committing? Forget it. Squirrel!
- Natural Salesman Vibe: Charisma turned way up. Gets people pumped about… whatever he’s hyped about today. Then might lose interest himself.
- Zero Chill: Hates waiting. Hates planning. Just wants to DO the thing. Results? Maybe later.
- Messy Enthusiasm: Think excited kid explaining a super complicated game. Loud, jumbled, contagious energy… but you might not understand the rules.
Suddenly, it felt real. I remembered Dave last summer. Dave shows up in every reading when I need this energy. Dave was gonna start a podcast, then a food truck, then build a tiny house – all within the same frantic month. He was pure Prince of Wands energy. Super excited about each one, talked me into believing every single plan was gold… then radio silence. Podcast mic still unused, food truck permit abandoned. That’s it! That’s the guy!
Finished up feeling smug. Scribbled a big “Unfinished Dave! ☕ + Caffeine FTW!” next to the card in my deck’s little box. It ain’t deep mystical wisdom, but dang it, now I get him. He’s that blast of “Woo! Let’s go!” energy that can be amazing for starting stuff… just maybe find someone else to actually finish it. Almost spilled the coffee on the cards closing the book – classic Prince of Wands chaos following me out the door!
