I have been considering looking for a new apartment for a while now. My question to the cards was if I should look for a new apartment at this point in time. I used my Tarot of a Moon Garden deck and got a quite appropriate response.
1) 10 of Pentacles
2) Page of Swords
3) The Empress
1. On a journey, possibly seeking out my home or headed towards my home.
2. Fighting for my home – trying to keep others from taking over or taking it from me.
3. Sitting on plenty – no need to change or take a risk losing what I have. What I have is plenty.
Finding my current apartment was a trial and a journey to say the least. Where I live, places that take pets are few and far between and I refuse to give up my beautiful furbabies.
I have had to fight these past few months to keep my current apartment. Financial issues have made paying my rent an interesting little dance and so I’ve had to get rid of somethings in my life and dodge eviction by the skin of my teeth.
I am sitting on plenty. I have an apartment, it allows me to have my pets, and I am able to make my rent payments in bits and pieces. I have what I need and at this time I should simply give thanks for what I do have and not worry about what I don’t. The time will come when moving is the right thing to do, but that time is not now.

I have some bills I need to pay today but don’t quite have enough money to pay them all. I wondered if I might be able to make arrangements that would be satisfactory to all parties involved. I used my Rider Waite deck for this reading.
1) Knight of Swords
2) Queen of Cups
3) Page of Wands
1. Sense of rushing – jumping to conclusions about how a situation will turn out. Rushing in with expectations.
2. Choices must be considered, but I am being watched from above and can know that my choices are all acceptable.
3. Things looking up. While it may seem to be a bleak or blank horizon, keep looking up and everything will work out fine.
I have a bad habit of “fantasizing” about how things will turn out, and usually those conclusions in my head turn out in a very negative way. Especially when it comes to making arrangements for bills. Usually that turns out badly in my head and true to what is told in the book The Secret, what I’ve decided is going to happen usually does.
I do have choices to make. How much on each bill am I going to pay. I need to pay each bill an amount that leaves me with very little left to pay on it for the next time I go in to make a payment. That’s easier with one bill than with the other to be perfectly honest about it. However, I do have choices and the Goddess and my helper spirits are watching over me, making sure that I know that all decisions I make are going to be acceptable.
If I keep looking up instead of at the horizon, things will get better. I’ll get the results I need and everyone will be satisfied all around. I just need to remember to keep my head up and my eyes to the sky.

I did a reading today, asking, of all things, about my current financial situation. Without going into detail, a very unexpected debt fell into my lap, and I haven’t had much success in making payment arrangements that were satisfactory to the agency I owe and still allow me to do basic things like pay rent and buy groceries. I used my Rider-Waite Deck for this one and was surprised again to see that it had spoken to me. Perhaps we are finally warming up to each other. 
1. Strength (R)
2. 6 of Pentacles (R)
3. Ace of Wands (R)
I found it very odd that all three cards came up in reversed position. I’ve never had a reading like that before. I’ve had all three be upright and a mix of upright and reversed, but never all three reversed.
1. A feeling of weakness or helplessness. Feeling out of control of life.
2. Sense of injustice as if there are no second chances. Sense of no one caring or trying to help.
3. There are those who care, who will try to help me out. It’s a high “tree” to climb, but the rewards are at the top and there is always a helping hand in sight.
Now the first two cards honestly were spot-on, as I’ve been dealing with various people at the place I owe trying to get them to understand the situation from my point of view. I understand theirs – they want their money. They need to understand mine – I have to be able to take care of basic needs – and the options they give me are not appropriate to the situation on my end of things – and are the only options they are willing to consider.
The loose leaves on the Ace of Wands, when reversed look like hearts which gave me a sense that there are those who care and who will attempt to help me out. The wand is a high tree to climb, but there’s always a helping hand in sight, and when I get to the top, everything will be all right.
