Card of The Day-8 of Swords Reversed

Occasionally I will be drawing a card of the day⚘



Today's card of The Day:

8 of Swords reversed

Lesson or thought: Be open to new perspectives

THE SUN-



The 22 Major Arcana cards (including the Fool) have numbers, but I won't be doing them in order or even from the same deck. I'm going to shake things up a bit :) The Major Arcana are guideposts to things, events, and people that are meant to be taken more serious and looked at more closely in a tarot card reading. Included are some basic meanings too:

Not sure of this deck-it may be vintage.

The Sun -up right- Happy, warm, good vibes, success!

Here is the sun reversed Rx- sad, depressed, not successful, but not the end of the world.

PS-There are some nice tarot decks out there, and I will try to come up with the names as I go along.

A Card Jumps Out....A Tarot Card Falls

A card jumps out-

1) So your shuffling your deck and your going to do a 3 card smaller reading...
Out falls a card as your shuffling, so where are you going to use it in your lay out?
Ive never used the one that falls out, due to not sure where I'd put it?
To clarify? or as a beginning first card?
What would you do?

2)Where would you put it in a larger reading?

So I asked a few tarot friends & this is what they said :

Often when a card jumps out at me, I place it down above where I'm going to lay out the spread. I usually consider it as a theme for the reading, a guide card or an overall message about what I'm seeking.

Other times, if a card jumps out at me while shuffling, if I'd been planning to do a particular spread, I sometimes scrap the spread and just lay out a few cards intuitively, including the one that jumped out. Sometimes it feels like a message- "You don't need a spread. The cards will tell you what you need to know. Just move freely, trust your instincts."

So for me it depends, but it's usually one of those two things that I end up doing. I almost always incorporate the jumper if one comes out at me.

For a longer spread, for me it depends on the layout. If I'm working with a spread that's kind of circle-shaped I have sometimes put a jumper in the center. Above the spread can also work for most layouts. If I'm doing a longer spread where I shuffle in between laying down each card (I don't usually work with spreads that way, but I do it for the multi-day spreads like the Sacred Days of Yule and Sacred Days of Midsummer spreads), and if a card jumps out while I'm in the process of pulling a card for a particular position, then I'll sometimes place two cards down sharing a single position and read them together.-anonymous

This has very rarely happened for me. And, to be honest, if it lands face-down, I generally put it back in the deck somewhere random and just go on. If it were to fall face-up ... I'm not sure how I'd take it. I can't recall it happening yet. If it did, I'd probably use it as a theme card as well. A card that kind of sets the tone for the reading.-anonymous

 So in conclusion, I think I also like the idea of it being, "a card that kind of sets the tone for the reading." If anyone else has any great ideas about this, please let me know what you do with the, "one that jumps out". 😁

Welcome to BlueMoonRizing

Hello, I am a Canadian-British Tarot & Astrology reader. I've had a taste for tarot since I was a little girl-  I recall my Mom and Dad took me to visit their very good friend for tea, and the lady read tarot and had a crystal ball. 

As a child I thought it was pure magic! 🌠

I started off studying Astrology, but soon moved on to reading tarot cards. Tarot has been my favorite for many years now. 

I have high accuracy in Psychometry, which is the psychic ability in which a person can sense or "read" the history of an object by touching it. I was also part of the test group for the ASP project (Anomalously Sensitive Persons) in connection to: The H.I.S.S. of the A.S.P. by author David Ritchey.
