Tonight's #tarot #cardoftheday reflection: Page of Pentacles. I think this card was most likely related to my sudden drive to fill out my daily/goal planner pages. I spent most of the day filling out "routine sheets" in 20min increments (and #adhd friendly) and I set 3 goals for the next 12 weeks.
Oriens Animal Tarot: Page of Pentacles. Description from the companion guidebook: "A cricket chirps quietly atop a pentacle nestled within the petals of a Peruvian lily." (p. 126)

Reflecting on my #tarot #cardoftheday: The Wheel of Fortune. From my understanding, this card hinted at my unexpected wave of high/manic energy that I used to start cleaning/organizing my office space. Been lethargic lately, and the #adhd screamed "YOU MUST CLEAN" this morning. #tarotsky
Description from Oriens companion book: "A scarab rests in the centre of a wheel,wings outstretched ready to catch the winds of fate and take flight towards its destiny. Four arrows point outward from the centre, symbolising the directions fate can take us in."
