Grand Tableau for March (updated)

Here is the Grand Tableau for March.

The Cut:
Whip - Snake - Man

This looks like a man who has a strong power of speech. eloquent man. This can also represent sexual passion or sexual chemistry with a man.

First three cards:
Roads - Dog - Book
A decision is made about a friend which reveals something.

March 23, 2012:
Update: I had to make a decision about a guy about whom little do I know. The pages side of Book is towards him, which shows I did not know him completely. Roads reflect Flowers, it was a decision about an offer, which was important (Key) and required some wisdom and a sound judgement (Lilies).Dog reflects Mice, Ring and Storks. He was someone who wanted a long-term relationship, but I was just not able to convince myself that this is what I want, so I had to say No finally. 

Four Corner Cards:
Roads + Flowers
Two ladies, meeting a friend or A pleasant journey, pleasant alternatives.
Key + Lilies
Important man . Support from someone important.Wisdom revealed.

March 23, 2012:
This was about a decision about a really important offer. The Roads-Key combo tells me this decision must be made, before I could move forward. I also felt that till I make this decision, thing will not move. The Lilies part of the deal still needs to be revealed though. May be its representing another person coming into situation since we are still not done with March.

Fate cards:

Snake- House - Tower - Whip
Trouble at home or with family leads to isolating myself again.

Snake+House (King and Queen of different suits can be an affair). An independent woman and a family oriented man. (Garden-Man) a man met in a social place, Fish-Birds brings worries.

Tower+Whip Troubled individual, trouble with authorities, Tree+Letter, brought on a message, Book +Lady which will not be revealed to me.

March 23,2012
I had plenty of troubles at home and with family this month and many a times I had arguments which made me turn cold towards them.
Snake can be me and House can be Jay, my friend from last month's GT. He is not a very social man though. We have been discussing lot of things which make me see things more clearly.
Analysing Lady:
Lady is in house of House, in house of Lady is Tree, in house of Tree is Fish and in house of Fish is House.
Lady >> House>> Fish >> Tree>>Lady
This looks like this month is all about family and roots and material matters this month.

Past: Roads -Dog - Book
A decision lead to a friend and learning about him.A friend came out in open.

Present: Lady - Cross - Fox - Man
I'm being very very cautious and I'm down from the incidents of the last month.

Future: Lady - Fish - Birds - Mice - Key
Looks like there will be financial worries which will keep me stressed and nervous till a solution is presented.

Counting: Lady>>Key>> Stars >> Anchor>> Heart >> Man>> Snake>> Dog
I will successfully find myself on a new path towards something more stable in terms of love for a man who is  having a trouble being a friend.

Mirroring: Lady + Fish = I might get some money this month, because the Fish is right next to me. Otherwise money will be a concern.


Knighting: Lady+Clover = I'll find some luck
Lady + Clouds = The ambiguities are clearing up
Lady +Moon = I'll find myself dreaming a lot, being sensitive and illusive.
Lady + Ship = I might go on a trip.

Update March 28, 2012
This was one of those months when I was unable to figure out who was "man", who was "Rider, the news or the coming love (with Heart)" and why it was all so messed up. The only thing which was true for this month was financial worries, they kept me worried a lot at a time and finally they were solved. I'm still not sure I have all of what I need, but I can manage for another month at least.
The Counting was all positive cards and this man and I are swiftly being really good friends.

Looking at Book for project:
Book is in house of Ship, my biggest longing right now is to finish it successfully. Ship is in house of Tower, I feel alone but I know I can do it. Tower is in house of Anchor, bringing stability and determination, Anchor is in house of Dog, a friend can be of help, Dog is in house of Clover, yes it is possible he can be of small help, Clover in house of Scythe however I should be warned, Scythe is in house of Roads, I should be warned of different ways I'm presented with.

Counting: Book- Mice - Cross- Mountain - Scythe - Garden - Flower - Roads
It looks like initially I will be worried but then there will be delays that will make me cut off from socialising (may be focusing more on work) and bring many offers (for help may be , Dog next to Roads).

Knighting: It seems like a big, huge project which requires strength (bear), but I'm hopeful (Stars).I need to do some digging (Fox) and that requires determination (Anchor).

Update on Project: I started with lots of stress and there was lots to do, but Thanks God my document has been accepted without any objection. It was such a relief. The Stars were helpful and the Bear. A person did help me (Dog). The submission was blocked just when I was going to submit it on last day (Book-Clover-Mountain) and Book-Cross, but I had a success finally (Moon-Letter). The instructor emailed me that it was fine to submit it 3 days late because of the problem in system. The Counting technique has worked like a charm here. I started six days ago without any knowledge and I faced HUGE obstacles. I practically installed and un-installed at least 10 tools to develop the interface. I finally got it done within time and right when I had to submit it, there was a problem in submission (Cross-Coffin). Submission was delayed and then finally it was sorted and my document was accepted.The Roads now make me wonder which tool I will be using for the database.

Looking at Heart: Heart is in house of Mice, while in house of Heart is Child. There can be a new but naive love or some feelings of affection for someone.
Counting: Heart-Garden-Flower-Roads - Birds - Coffin - Rider - Moon
This looks like I will get many offers, may be online, and this will lead me to a decision point where the nervousness and anxiety will end and a message comes up or a romantic man.

Knighting: Heart -Key = sure love, which is long-lasting (Tree) but will make me lovesick (Birds) and arrival of new love is supported by three cards , Child, Stars and Key.

The Scythe tells me it can be a sudden one, and Clouds tell me it can be somewhat confusing.

The Ring and Tree bring an element of longevity to this love though! However them both can also be a sense of boredom.

Update: I have to agree with the feelings of affection for a friend this month. I really feel very nurturing and protective towards this guy. I just occasionally bumped into few people who were not really able to generate any interest. I did make a decision about an offer and after that my approach changed and I started focusing on man of my dreams (Rider-Moon).
The Scythe was actually a sudden end to a potential relationship, and it was because I was really confused about this guy. The Tree was actually the boredom. I just could not make myself get interested in this man. 

I have also been keeping a track of the combinations I have got in my daily draw and were also there in GT for March.Following have been there:

1. Roads-Clover = I went to a short trip out side city
2. Letter - Whip = Did two readings online
3. Clouds- Fish = it rained that day, I had a conversation with a man who always confuses me. I also made a scrying mirror that day.
4. Mice-Key = We had a mouse in our house that day. I saw it. Besides that I fell ill, food poisoning.
5. Tower - Whip = I had to sign a document at my bank. Me and my mother had an argument.
6. Fox - Ship = My car started troubling during an out-of city trip. I also made a vision board to fulfil my dreams.
7. Book - Fox (Knighting) = I read the book "The Secret".
8. Garden - Ship = Went out of city for a gathering.
9. Tower - Letter = An official letter was received about acceptance of document. I organized my papers in a proper file.
10. Ship-Snake = my mother was out of town for a gathering (Garden) she was invited to (Letter).
11. House - Storks(Knighting): I had a new addition in my room, a colourful bed cover.
12. Ring - Scythe : I ended up a potential relationship proposed by a guy.

So far out of 19 days, on 9 days my daily draws were directly from my GT.

To be Continued...

March 23, 2012:
Update: There is Flower with Heart and Ring which is a combo signifying an engagement. I was wondering that  have not heard about anyone's engagement. Last night I got a message from a friend who said he was engaged. This guy is younger than me (Child) and it was sort of unexpected (Scythe). Congratulations to my friend!


March 30,2012
The combination Letter + Ring, with Flower can be a marriage proposal. It is topped by Scythe. I recently rejected a guy who proposed me about a month ago. So this was very much on spot.

Ring +Cross: A time to bid farewell!

Note:
These meanings and associations are personal, learnt through time and experience. Your cards might show you the meaning of this combination in a different way.Last, but not the least, this is not the only meaning associated with this combination.

Ring is the card which we look at as something that binds us strongly. It can be a relationship (that's the general meaning I assign to this card since that's what it has represented couple of times in my readings, specially weekly ones). This relationship can be one which does not bind you to each other but where you and the other person are just going round and round playing silly games. One day you get tired of it and you suddenly, desperately want an out of it.

On the other hand, Cross is the card which literally means where we have to bare a cross, burdens, karma and destiny. These words sound promising when next to Ring, but the downside is, destiny or fate does not always bring us what we want.

When this combination occurs in a love question specially, you will know that:

• You have no way out.
• The only way out is through it.
• The way through is not the most desirable one.
• Fate and destiny always bring us not what we think is best for us, but what Universe or God deems better for us. We might not always be happiest with it.

When I had this appeared in my daily draw, my patience was put to test by a man with whom I feel a strange emotional bond. I know that he and I can never stop arguing, we will never stop fighting each other off, and yet, he is my best friend and I'm his and we will always share this strong bond, no matter how much patience it requires!

21 cards Gypsy Spread

I did this spread and I had an OMG reading so I thought I would share with you guys as well.
I don't exactly remember where I copied it off because I was going through my first journal and it had this spread which I did in August 2011 and then I decided to give it a try.

Spread:
First about the spread: It has 21 cards in 3 rows of 7 cards each. You read the three rows as Past, Present and Future.

Past =    1----2----3---4----5---6---7
Present=8----9---10--11--12--13--14
Future= 15--16--17--18--19--20--21

The 7 cards are narrated as a story.
Here is the twist that I added, because it worked for me, I looked at the central card in each row (4th card) as a theme card and the rest of the row revolves around this card. It made the reading more interesting for me.
Next we also get 7 columns which are each assigned a meaning. I used the following meanings since they were given in my journal.

Columns:
1 - Thoughts
2- Home
3- Desires
4- What you expect
5- What you don't expect
6- Near future
7- Long-term future

Example:

Past: This looks like a dream and a much hoped for (Stars) comfort (House) bringing me to a decision point (Roads) where I secretly (Book) involved myself in a short-lived (Flowers) pleasure(flower) that left me full of energy and optimism (Sun). The Book in the centre tells it was about a secret, something that taught me how to be optimistic (clover) and also how to make the correct decision at the correct time (Roads).
This was a turning point of my life.

Present: A change which brings rest and peace for the lady (me) who is feeling lonely (Tower) and unsure and restless (Fish)  about her feelings (Heart) which feel being blocked(Mountain). Heart-Mountain is the combo from my March GT. So it sounds perfect for present situation. The Tower in the middle is very true. I actually feel very isolated these days. The Lilies next to me make me lazy and sleep a lot.

Future: Fox-Ring is a bad sign and Ring-Man is another bad sign on top. I will probably be cautious of a relationship (Ring) with a Man who is younger than me or at least looks young (Child) and corresponds (Rider, Letter) from a distance (Ship).
This looks very interesting for a future event. The Fox looks like a good warning.

Looking at Columns:
1- Stars - Storks - Fox = a much awaited change which I'm constantly on a look out for
2- House-Lilies-Ring = My dad really needs some rest these days, he says he feels down and tired. He has been having some tough work schedule, his ongoing routine which is why he gets tired.
3- Roads - Lady - Man = Roads are behind me, I'm looking at them (if placed in a line), so I'm looking for my options and my alternatives when it comes to men (and I literally have to make a decision any time now).
4- Book - Tower - Child = The reason I'm alone is because I'm being too naive and in literal sense, new semester starting at University.
5- Clover-Fish-Rider = Some money is coming up, and I hope it does, I really need some.
6-Flower-Heart-Letter = a romantic love letter or a message in which someone asks me to a date
7- Energy will be blocked till I decide to move on or success will be found abroad (Mountain-Ship).

So here was the spread with the reading, and hope you guys will try your hands on this and I wish it works just as good for you as it did for me.

Book + Fox: Detective work!

Note:
These meanings and associations are personal, learnt through time and experience. Your cards might show you the meaning of this combination in a different way.Last, but not the least, this is not the only meaning associated with this combination.

Book is mainly looked at as "Secret" and the "Unknown". We see here the book is closed and we don't know what its about. The secondary meanings which I associate with Book is education, my Final Project specifically, since the cards have often chosen this card to represent my project. The Book, besides these meanings, can be documents, paper-work, letters, diaries, or occult knowledge.
Its something you need to learn about or discover.

There is a theory about Book card. The card towards the open side of the Book is something you know about, something you have a little idea about. The card to the spine side (right side for this deck) is what you have no idea about. I experienced this in my monthly GTs where I got the combination Book+Dog in one month and Dog+Book in next month. The first month was when this person had not appeared in my life, yet, and the second month was when I knew a little (not much) about him.

The Fox card has been talked about and discussed a lot in these two posts; here and here!

I said in that post the direction Fox is facing is what needs to be sniffed out, what requires an investigation and what can be wrong. The Fox is towards the Spine side of the Book, so one can assume, there is some lie or cheating which is not discovered yet. The Fox will sniff the Book, but won't be able to get much out of it since its facing the Spine side of the Book. so we can say:

• Despite the effort, secret won't be revealed
• Sniff out a secret
• Finding out a secret
• Detective work
• Make sure the documents are complete before you dispatch them.

I sense I will get a news about my project document that I submitted yesterday, I hope I did not miss anything in that!

Update: The day I had this combo drawn, the next day i was literally checking The Secret out at a book store! amazing!!!

Fox + Ship

Note:
These meanings and associations are personal, learnt through time and experience. Your cards might show you the meaning of this combination in a different way.Last, but not the least, this is not the only meaning associated with this combination.

Here we looked at Fox as an adjective, now we will look at it as a Noun.

Fox is the card of lone-wolf style and Ship is also a lonely ship moving in the vast sea. This is the first thing I see common among the cards.

Fox looks for answers, Ship looks towards fulfilling dreams and wishes, Fox is clever, Ship is exploratory, Fox finds facts and logic, Ship is carefree, Fox is deceitful, Ship is wishful.
These are some of my thoughts on both.

Fox represents a warning, what one must be careful about. The way Fox is going is what needs proper sniffing, however, what is next to Fox is what helps or aids the sniffing or digging IMO.

The Ship is card of journey mainly. It can be a small journey or a holiday trip. It can be the movement, change and longing for something. The waters represent emotions and the waves are ups and down we face, the Ship is exploratory. It explores the foreign lands (waters).

If you look at both pictures, they are moving in opposite directions.
If you are going on a trip and these cards appear, be very careful, something is bound to happen, so do check your vehicle, your flight schedule, the travel documents you need.

 Together they can mean:

• Exploration of facts
• Change is the name of the game
• Moving on is the clever thing to do
• A trip/journey will help unveiling something or finding out something
• A movement which one needs to be careful about
• Find it out!
• You need a strategy for fulfilling your wishes.

These are some of my thoughts on this combination, please comment if you have something to add.

Ring + Anchor: Stability or restriction?

Note:
These meanings and associations are personal, learnt through time and experience. Your cards might show you the meaning of this combination in a different way.Last, but not the least, this is not the only meaning associated with this combination.  

Ring, obviously means a relationship which you are devoted towards, a marriage, routine, cycles, processes,something that happens over and over again, contracts which legally bind you, a bond very strong.


In love, its commitment, not necessarily a marriage.


In career and studies its a process, cycle, a batch, completion of a task, end of semester, work contract.

I associate Saturn with this card 35-Anchor because it reminds me of determination and stability Saturn bring, not to mention how restricting it is. This card appears a lot around a Capricorn friend of mine in my readings. Anchor restricts a ship from moving, so if you are Ship kind of personality, this is your restraining factor. The positive meanings are durability, comfort point (Anchor keeps you at dock, your "anchor point"). German meanings associate this card with work.




Traditionally, if we look at this combination, it would be a Job/work contract, but there are other meanings as well, in terms of love and relationships specially. 
Ring + Anchor represents a relationship which is comfortable, which is stable and durable, but again, if you are a kind of person who needs space in relationships, this is a chain around your neck. The Anchor will make the relationship a lot routine-like, very solid, but can be boring as well. Analyse which relationship of your life is pinning you down and is restricting your movement when this card appears. It can also be a relationship from past which is keeping you from moving on.

Mountain + Key: Definite delays!

Note:
These meanings and associations are personal, learnt through time and experience. Your cards might show you the meaning of this combination in a different way.Last, but not the least, this is not the only meaning associated with this combination. 

Mountain is the "hard" card. It brings delays, burdens, blockages that are longer lasting and stresses you out (just like climbing a mountain will). The word "delays" is associated with this card because whenever we have to climb a mountain, it slows our speed, besides adds extra miles to our journey. Its the "tough" card. 


This card can also represent barriers, which can be both for good and bad as well. Whatever is behind this card is being blocked. As a person, I will call this person stubborn.

The Key card is the Yes card of Lenormand juts like Mountain is "not now" card. This card unlocks things, brings answers, solutions, confirmations, the surety, it is something that will sure happen. This card tells us what will happen with certainty. That is why its a "yes" card.


I was going through "A playing card Reader's Notebook" by Kapherus  and I read this for Eight of Diamonds "From an older meaning of "Spectacles" the 8 of Diamond denote "being insightful" or "looking into the future".


This card tells you what is coming up (cards to the right) after you have gone through what you must (cards to the left). 
The cards together can show:

Definite delays. No matter how many efforts you put in, there will be blockages. You will have to be patient and wait if you want a resolution to your problem. You have no other option!

This literally happened to me the time when I got them together in a daily draw. I had no choice but to be patient and face delays. 

Tower + Birchrod/Birch/Whip and Rod

Note:
These meanings and associations are personal, learnt through time and experience. Your cards might show you the meaning of this combination in a different way.Last, but not the least, this is not the only meaning associated with this combination. 

Tower is the card of authority, something that has been standing there firmly for years and years, Government, structure, power, ambition, something that has always been there and never really gone. 
In career, this card talks about ambition, independence, where you stand head held high.
In love, this card is always separation, or split.
In work and jobs, its Government, structured organizations, courts, hospitals and with Book, University.A high building.
Emotionally, its loneliness, a feeling of being OK being alone. 
In terms of medicine, its the spinal column.
As a person, he is someone tall, thin, loves structure and authority, and is pretty organized.It can also be someone alone, single etc.

Whip on the other hand is the card of negotiations, arguments, discussions, troubles, breakups, documents etc. Something is going to be discussed and the discussion is going to get little heavy. Interestingly, this card , like the Tower, also represents separation but in a different way. Tower represents separation because you feel secure and comfortable being alone, or you are alone because of your pride, ego etc. The Whip on the other hand is the separation because of arguments, fights and quarrels. It can also represent something that needs to be done twice. Another theory describes that Rod side is what is discussed behind closed doors and Broom side is what is discussed in public.
This card also talks about emotions that are intense, specially sexual chemistry.
As Jack of Clubs, this is a person who is young, sporty, hard working and active. 
A sports lover or an admirer. 


Together they can indicate:

• A trouble with authority
• A court case
• A negotiation
• A discussion between two people, where one is trying to make the other bend down, and the other person does not give up at all (telling you from experience).
• A separation because of both ego and quarrels.
• Sexual arousal.

House + Heart; Home is where the Heart is!

Note:
These meanings and associations are personal, learnt through time and experience. Your cards might show you the meaning of this combination in a different way.Last, but not the least, this is not the only meaning associated with this combination. 

House card talks about your residence, your home, not to mention, home is where the heart is. The cards that surround this card tell us what is going on at home, or in one's personal space. Like I said above, home is the place which gives you shelter, makes you feel protected, secure and the feeling of "at home". This can be a person as well, who makes you feel all these things. 


With the playing card insert of King of Hearts, this is a person who is protective and family-oriented and somewhat paternal. My dad is Scorpio Sun, Venus and Moon, therefore, I associate this card with him. This card makes me think of him. But if you are reading for yourself, it can be a man in your life who is passionate, artistic and emotional. He is really sensitive.

Heart on the other hand is love, feeling of affection, warmth, compassion and a human physical heart. In older cartomancy meanings, Jack of Hearts represents an emotionally insecure, immature and lazy man. In modern meanings, its usually a lover. This is a person you feel love and affection for. A favoured child.
For older women, it can represent a son, and for younger women it can be a lover or lover. This is someone you have an emotional attachment with.


The meanings I associate with this combination are:


My father and brother: King of Hearts is my dad for me. My eldest brother is his favourite child, and he holds a strong bond with him, thus, its two of them


My love for my father/family. Since I love him a lot, he is probably the most important man in my life, I feel an affection and warmth in my heart for him.


Love at home, love for family. Any card (person or other) near the card 04-House means home and family for me. So this card means love/warmth/affection for family members or members of family feel love for each other.


Traditionally, a King and Jack of Hearts together could mean the Return of an old lover. I have somewhat experienced this aspect too in a daily draw. Someone I once had an attachment with kind of made a re-entry in my life. 

Week 11 (Update)

Ring -Child - Lady  - Whip - Key - Anchor - Letter

Whip in the middle suggests some important discussions this week, emphasized by Key next to it. Whip-Lady suggests these discussions will be by me, or mine with a sensitive, young, naive lady (Child-Lady).

Left arm:
Ring+Child+Lady+Whip

A new contract or relationship seems to be developing for me, but that will leave me a bit argumentative or some important discussions about this matter.

Right arm:
Whip - key - Anchor - Letter
Ring+Anchor appeared yesterday as my daily draw and since I do not have a job, I look at anchor as something stable and long-lasting. The Anchor+Letter and Letter+Ring looks like a message or communication about a stable relationship which I discuss with my brother a lot these days about his relationships which tend to be pretty short-term, besides all his efforts. Key-Lady looks like it will resolve things for me.

Adding the numbers: 173 = 83 = 11-Whip. Another emphasis on the discussions and documents. Nothing about the project document I hope!

Update: The week was marked by discussions and physical energy I had (or the lack of it). Some discussions did get heated but they gave me a food for thought, specially a discussion between me and my brother about my job (Whip-Key-Anchor). Lady-Key looks like I have found some important answers to the kind of life I want to have. Ring-Letter and Child-Anchor probably relates to the articles and documents I read about vision board, you can see one at the bottom of my blog, and how to make them grow into something stable and long-lasting (Anchor).
