In the spirit of the Solstice and my birthday (on Father's Day, and I'm 30-4), I do have two spreads to share, but I'm starting with the Bodhran Solstice spread from Aeclectic Tarot.
1
4 The Sun 3
2
1. During the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, more light is available to us. What in my life has been in shadow, that I need to shine a bright light on so I can see it clearly for what it is? Ace of Swords.
I have a tendency to be impulsive. I act without thinking, and it sometimes gets me into trouble. It definitely happens when I talk. I will inadvertently say the wrong thing without realizing it, and then I'm like "Oh, shit! Did I really say that?" I just need to take a step back and think clearly. Writing has helped with that immensely.
2. The word "solstice" comes from the Latin "sol" (meaning sun) and "sistere" (meaning to cause to stand still). What in my life am I trying to force into happening when instead I need to be still and patient? Temperance.
Lately I've been on this "work hard, party hard" thing. I've been consumed with dance and makeup for the past month that when I have this time to let loose and relax I go crazy (no drugs, I promise). Staying out until crazy hours, especially. I've found that it's just not working for me. It's just making me even more tired when all I need is that release. I think I just need to not do anything and let the release happen.
3. The Summer Solstice is often called "Midsummer" because it is roughly in the middle of the growing season. What in my life is fertile and productive now? Where are my opportunities for growth? The Fool.
This is a fun card to see. I've had been dealing with some personal issues, feeling like I had been stuck in this limbo. I was uncertain of what to do or where I was going in everything. I had a brief fling that ended a week before my birthday, and I had to dance the very day it ended (not thrilled to do so). The guy told me to dance for myself because I had to deal with all these emotions and the fact that another guy I had hooked up with was going to be there. I actually took his advice, and it was the most free I've ever felt in a long time. I truly did feel in the aftermath that something new was going to happen and that I needed to embrace what comes.
4. After Summer Solstice, the days gradually become shorter, and the sun's strength wanes as winter approaches. What is waning in my life? What do I need to release? 3 of Cups.
Ahhh, yes. The cards picked up on something that I've been thinking about doing. I've been considering taking a hiatus from performing, mostly because I felt (and often still do) like I had nothing to give. I had given so much to my teacher's students and my students, that there was nothing left for me. I think this is telling me to go forward with this break, take time to discover my stories so then I can share it with the world.

A Valentine's Day Daily 3
I'm not really putting up daily 3 nowadays because my life isn't all that interesting, but I have been putting it in my journal. I decided to put this one up because it was Valentine's Day, and it wound up sucking ass in the end (despite performing).
1. What I did well today? 4 of Cups
I am acknowledging the fact that everything is not as peachy keen and harmonious as I had thought it would be. I'm beginning to realize that I'm so caught up in my issues that I sometimes miss the good opportunities in front of me.
2. What I need to leave behind? 5 of Wands
Yeah. Very accurate, Secret. Basically I had a gig last night (What's better than sitting in front of the TV watching The Notebook while eating a carton of Ben & Jerry's ice cream? Working!), and a dude I hooked up with was there. I knew he was going to be there because he was helping out with the event. He has some serious douche tendencies, so needless to say I was mad at the fact that this fool has a chick on his arm while I'm single. This got a huge WTF?!!?? from me. How does this asshole have someone? I didn't get it, and I don't get it still. Needless to say I spent most of the evening pissed off: Pissed that he doesn't have the common decency to be civil (no slapping my back with a magazine does not mean hello, nor is drunk texting me at 8AM on a Sunday), pissed at seeing him with someone while I'm single, and mostly pissed at myself for letting him affect me that way to the point where it impacted my dance. I'm angry at myself for letting someone so insignificant hold so much power over me, and I know I need to let it go.
3. What I need to take with me into tomorrow? 9 of Swords
I need to not lose sleep over this douchenozzle. He's just simply not worth my time or effort, and I just need to let it go. I am that which I am. He is that which he is.

Daily Reading for 1/27
1. What I did well: Knave of Cups
The photo shoot went well albeit it was very weird. I was allowing myself to portray the message of sensuality that the photographer wanted.
2. What I must leave behind: 7 of Wands
I was losing my patience with the photographer because he was on that line of being a photographer with a great idea and being a GWC. I think I was seriously about to rip his head off.
3. What I must take with me into tomorrow: The Hierophant
Now the teacher must return. I had my day off, and it's back to class and people are looking to me and my director for guidance for the upcoming show.

Daily Reading for 1/24
1. What I did well: 2 of Swords
Um... I wasn't really sure what this meant for today. I guess I could classify the swords as my thoughts and my emotions in that I'm trying to balance the two. However, as a Gemini (overly simplistic view, I know), my emotions are a foreign concept. Revealing my emotions is a sign of weakness.
2. What I must leave behind: 10 of Cups
When I'm with my mom, I always feel like everything is okay. There's seriously nothing out there like a mother's love. I'm very private about my personal life, and she doesn't ask questions, but she still gives me that comforting energy. Unfortunately, I can't be with her all the time. I have to leave that for today.
3. What I must take forward into tomorrow: 8 of Swords
Tomorrow is going to be a very conflicting day for me because I don't know how to approach my friend about the concerns I have. I want to be able to be open and honest with how I feel, but I've spent my life keeping everything private.
I did some additional readings about this conflict, and the 8 of Swords popped up every time. This conflict is really eating at me, and I do feel very stuck about what to do. I think tomorrow is going to be the big do or die time.

Daily Reading for 1/23
1. What I did well today: The High Priestess
I didn't let my internal struggles affect the way I taught class even though teaching was the last thing I wanted to do. I had to keep a good face on and not let my negative energy affect the class and my students.
2. What I must leave behind: Knave of Cups
I must let go of any lingering resentment that I'm feeling. It's time to move forward and be positive.
3. What I must take forward into tomorrow: 3 of Wands
Tomorrow is a new day. Just embrace whatever opportunities that come my way.
I tried the name spread that was on AE. It was a lovely 20-card spread, that I just wrote out in one sentence. It's a neat spread, but it told me what I already knew about myself. I've been looking for spreads that dug deeper. I had a conversation with Kafka's Ghost about it, she suggested choosing the card that I identified strongly with and then have cards around it. It was quite useful. I'll put up the readings later today.

Daily Reading for 1/22
1. What I did well today: 9 of Cups
I think this card is my dance/artist card. It shows up whenever there's some sort of dance or artistic element involved. Today was no exception since I had rehearsal with my troupe after not dancing together in three months, and I had a collaboration with a photographer. My dance is my release, and it feels good to do it.
2. What I must leave behind: 9 of Wands
Cafe Astrology says that when you hurt someone with a Venus in Cancer, they begin to retreat into their "shell". That's me right now. I'm in retreat mode after a discussion with a friend of mine, and I want to discuss how I'm feeling with her. I feel like it's the only way to really leave it behind, but at the same time while I'll wear my heart on my sleeve, I'll keep my true emotions private. Right now, there's the shame of being chastised, the confusion and uncertainty of wanting to say something but not wanting to rock the boat, the question of how to move forward without needing to walk on eggshells. The easy answer is "Say something, silly girl!" Even my cards (Secret, Mermaids, and UF said it) suggest that I do it, but it's tough. I've learned to keep it inside and put on a happy face. Now, I'm getting into venting mode.
3. What I must take with me into tomorrow: Ace of Swords
This is all about having a plan. I know I'm going to need one for class. Maybe this is even about how to approach my friend. I dunno...

Daily Reading for 1/19
1. What I did well: 10 of Wands
I didn't let the stress of the situation get to me. I basically had to handle my business as usual. I needed to do what I needed to do.
2. What I must leave behind: High Priestess
I was being very introverted when I didn't have to be. I know the people I was with, so there was no need for me to feel shy and awkward around them.
3. What I must take with me into tomorrow: Ace of Swords
I have to allow myself to develop more ideas to support myself. Have a plan of attack so that I can move forward with my life.

Daily 3-Card Reading for 1/18
1. What I did well today: 6 of Cups
This was a great card to see. I needed to feel good about something today because I have been so stressed out about a lot of things. I would say, this is the one of the few times the LWB is correct in what I did well. When I'm at the studio dancing, it's the moment that I can escape from the reality of my situation. It's my play time, and I made the most of that.
2. What I must leave behind: 3 of Swords
Once again, the LWB relates to the card! I must leave behind the uncertainty I feel about the future, about whether or not I'll be able to find something that will give me enough flexibility to continue developing my makeup career and my dance.
3. What I must take with me into tomorrow: The Star
I must have faith that I will be able to find what I'm looking for. I must stay positive.
Secret definitely picked up on my stress, and I appreciate its calm reassurance. I should take it's advice and stay positive because it's not the kind of deck that would sugar-coat things.

Goddess Spread
I found this spread on Aeclectic Forum, and I thought it would be cool to do a reading on it. I would love to start building an altar to Her, but that's going to have to wait. Here is the layout of the spread.
1 2 3
4
5
1. You. Where you find Goddess. Your opinion towards Her. Your experience with Her so far. 6 of Cups
I look at Her with fondness and joy. I feel like I am closest with her when I think of happy memories, or when I need a gentle nudge.
2. Relation. How you have interacted with Her and what you have shared in acts and prayer. The Empress
I feel like she is with me during meditation. She's also with me when I feel that inspiration to create choreography and dance. My dance is my offering to her.
3. Goddess. Goddess aspects you have witnessed and what She has granted. Queen of Cups
She has given me sensuality, the ability to love and the ability to be open to receive love. She allows me to open my intuition, and She allows me to be a vessel to create Her message.
4. Method. Future advice on how to heighten relationship with Goddess. 8 of Wands
I must not be afraid to actually contact Her directly. She is open to listening.
5. Tangible. Advice on physical worship and how to adorn Her. The Tower
I was stumped when I saw this. I think this also relates to Card 4 in that I have to actually contact Her. Let Her be a part of me. Invoking the spirit.

Daily 3-Card Reading for 1/16
Unfortunately, there's no reading for Friday. I was out all night. :-)
1. What I did well today: Wheel of Fortune
Despite my current worries, I have allowed myself to remain positive that things will turn out okay. I succumb to the will of the universe.
2. What I must leave behind: 5 of Wands
I must leave behind the fact that I got home at 5AM after an amazing night of dancing and killer dubstep music. I'm shocked that I'm still functioning.
3. What I must take with me into tomorrow: 9 of Cups
I still need to take in my indulgences. I had some really yummy brownies, and I'm such a sucker for sweets.
Here's the suit tally for this week:
Major - 6
Wands - 4
Cups - 4
Swords - 2
Pentacles - 1
What's really interesting is that the Wheel of Fortune has appeared three times this week, twice in position 1 and the other time in position 3. I think it has to do with just the way I'm approaching the situation I'm currently dealing with. Why be negative and bitter about it? The presence of Wands and Cups make sense since classes started up again. I love being around my students when I teach. I get so much fulfillment from them, and I get inspired to choreograph.

Who I Am and Where I Am Going
This was inspired by dannymac.85's reading on this spread. I decided to try it out to see what Secret has to say. I'm discovering that Secret loves spreads having to do with destiny and the discovery of the inner self.
This is the layout of the spread:
3 - 4
1/2
5 - 6 - 7
1. This is who I am now: The Hanged Man
I'm still searching for myself. I feel like I'm on the brink of discovery, but there's a block that's preventing me from seeing my true potential.
2. This is what I don't know: Knight of Cups
I'm ruled by my emotions more often than I realize. I also have a tendency to get attached to others quickly once I let them in.
3. This is what I need to relinquish: Queen of Swords
I have a tendency to over-analyze things to the point where I almost drive myself crazy. I need to let go of being trapped inside my head. Sometimes it's better to just take things for what they are.
4. This is what I need to develop: The Devil
I must allow myself to enjoy life and the pleasures that life has to offer. I should allow myself some indulgences from time to time.
5. What I'd love to become: The Chariot
I'd love to be successful on my own terms. I prefer taking the reins and deciding my own direction in life.
6. My current quest: 9 of Swords
While I love to decide my direction, I'm having difficulty with it. It's stressing me out because I don't know how I'm going to actually pull this off with the limited resources I have right now.
7. Where it will lead: The Hierophant
What's interesting was that I played around with this spread using Mermaids and this card came out in the same position. I like to think of myself as someone who loves comforting others in times of stress. I'm usually the person to tell people to calm down. Will I be able to bring harmony to others? Is that what I'm meant to do as a teacher? Maybe.

Daily 3-Card Reading for 1/14
1. What I did well today: Page of Cups
I was able to express why I have no intention on meeting up with the guy I had the date with, and it allowed me to say what I am looking for in a relationship. It actually felt good to be open about what I'm looking for in a future partner.
2. What I must leave behind: King of Wands
I must leave behind any sort authoritative attitudes. Today is a day of fun and relaxation. The teacher can hibernate for a day.
3. What I must take forward into tomorrow: 9 of Swords
Yup. This is a big one. I think I'm going to need a part-time job. Between Burning Man, my costume, my website, an overnight stay in Vegas, I need to come up with a way to pay for all of that. This is the slow time for MUAs and teaching just started up, so I need to be diligent.

Daily 3-Card Reading for 1/13
I'm finding that I do the reading at night then post it the next day. It works for me.
1. What I did well: 4 of Swords
I allowed myself to have a considerable amount of rest considering that I haven't been feeling well for the past few days.
2. What I must leave behind: The Hanged Man
I must leave behind the fact that I sacrificed my time for a date that really didn't go that well. I would've loved to have left earlier, but I didn't. Oh well. Nice enough fellow, but there was nothing there.
3. What I need to take with me into tomorrow: Ace of Cups
This was rather interesting to me because I did this reading twice (the first time was like reading a foreign language) and this card came up both times. I think it's a realization that I had after the date. I'm gradually coming into my own as a woman, feeling how a woman should feel, wanting what a woman wants. The problem I had with the date is that there was an immaturity in his spirit. He's in that space of being between a boy and a man. He'll make someone happy. That someone isn't me.
1. What I did well: 4 of Swords
I allowed myself to have a considerable amount of rest considering that I haven't been feeling well for the past few days.
2. What I must leave behind: The Hanged Man
I must leave behind the fact that I sacrificed my time for a date that really didn't go that well. I would've loved to have left earlier, but I didn't. Oh well. Nice enough fellow, but there was nothing there.
3. What I need to take with me into tomorrow: Ace of Cups
This was rather interesting to me because I did this reading twice (the first time was like reading a foreign language) and this card came up both times. I think it's a realization that I had after the date. I'm gradually coming into my own as a woman, feeling how a woman should feel, wanting what a woman wants.

Daily 3-Card Reading
Here's my reading from last night. What was funny was that while I was shuffling, the 9 of Pentacles came out twice. It was definitely a great card to see as I received the raw photos from the photo shoot. It was a very successful shoot, and it was a great learning experience for me.
1. What I did well today: Knave of Wands
I approached all of my classes with confidence since it was the first class of the new session. I gave my students a sense of confidence about the upcoming showcase.
2. What I must leave behind: The Emperor
Tomorrow is my day to relax. There's no need for me to be the instructor and provide material. I just need to go with the flow.
3. What I must take with me into tomorrow: The Magician
I must allow myself to be energetic with the guy I'm going to be going out with. I must allow my presence to stand out.
I finally got in touch with the last two spirit guides!

Daily 3-Card Reading
Today was a great day. I think Secret's proud of me too. I am loving this spread.
1. What did I do well today? 10 of Wands
I didn't allow my doubts and fears get the better of me. I went into the photo shoot as cool as the woman in the card, full of calm and confidence, and the results showed. There are lots of great images as a start for my portfolio.
2. What do I need to leave behind? The Moon
I need to leave behind the negative thoughts of disaster that I had. Before the shoot began, I thought about anything that could've gone wrong. I was thinking so much about the shoot the night before that I didn't get much sleep. Now it's behind me.
3. What should I take forward into tomorrow? Wheel of Fortune
I need to ride the wave positive energy. I should be proud of my accomplishment, and take that energy to further my makeup artistry. Good things are in store.

Daily 3-Card Reading and Spirit Guides
I decided to try the spread that Kafka's Ghost linked in her blog, and it works like a charm. I think this will help me get a better understanding of my cards. Today's Mind-Body-Spirit reading was rather confusing to me that I'm not going to bother putting it up.
1. What I did well today: 7 of Pentacles
It's rather fitting that I got this card since I danced for 7 hours as a part of my teacher's Day of Dance workshop. I also felt very accomplished with myself for having the strength and the sheer ability to dance for that long and that intensely.
2. What I should leave behind: Justice
I shouldn't dwell on the fact that I skipped a makeup workshop to stay at the dance workshop. Ultimately, it was the right decision.
3. What I need to take forward into tomorrow: The Lovers
I need to own my choices. I shouldn't worry about second-guessing myself. If I make a decision, I should stick with it. It will be worth it in the end.
In other news, I felt like the Spirit Guide readings were off, so I tried it again. Turns out I have 6 spirit guides, not 9. I first got the 6 of Pentacles, but it was confirmed with The Lovers. Four were willing to speak to me, one is a very strong presence who I knew from the first reading. I'll post individual readings soon.

Daily 3-Card Reading
Body - The Sun
Mind - 5 of Cups
Spirit - 5 of Pentacles reversed
The cards basically summed up how I felt this morning. My body still felt energized and active, and I took advantage of that by doing some pole dancing then I'll be dancing the night away. My mind has experienced a harsh dose of reality and is filled with a lot of regret. At the same time, my mind still wants to hold onto hope that it isn't true. The 5 of Cups is looking at The Sun longing for that peace of mind and harmonious balance. Relating to the 5 of Cups, my spirit is letting go of the illusion. It wonders, am I the photographer who is completely out of the model's league? In another setting, would he have given me a second glance?

Body - 4 of Swords rev.
Mind - 9 of Cups rev.
Spirit - The Sun
Let me just say right now, the woman in the 4 of Swords is really creepy. I think it's just the way she just stares at me while she's sitting on the tomb. She gets under my skin.
My body is getting sick with a cold *cough cough* and it craves rest, but there's no time to rest. Gotta dance, dance, DANCE! And that woman is chastising me for that. I need to dance, but my mind is just not in the mood to choreograph for my students. However, my spirit is filled with excitement to see my students and teach.
In other news, I have two more decks! Tarot of Mermaids and Universal Fantasy. New deck interviews to come.

Daily 3-Card Reading
Body - Ace of Cups
Mind - 10 of Wands reversed
Spirit - Queen of Pentacles
My body had this burst of feminine energy. It just wanted to feel sexy considering that it spends so much time huddled up in layers of clothing. I also downloaded some songs that I would love to choreograph to because it taps into my sensual side. It's a spark that happened. My mind was just ready let go of all of the burdens that have consumed me in the past few days (my first shoot as a makeup artist, finances, having material for my classes) and embrace what's to come. My spirit was ready to exercise and get moving. What better way to embrace the Ace of Cups aspect than to take pole dancing class again. It was great to feel sexy and still feel like I had gotten my butt whooped.
I managed to communicate to 5 spirits. Four more to go...
