So, there's a Kickstarter project out there for a Pacifc Rim tarot deck. Now, the last thing I need is another tarot deck, but the art is great, and I love PacRim a lot, so... why the hell not.
I'm surprised that they're going to be printing the deck and the handbook, though. Would have thought the handbook would be digital-only, not with printed option. Then again, they're already halfway funded and there's still a month to go, so maybe this project will turn out okay. Anyway! If you like Pacific Rim and tarot, check it out, it looks pretty cool.
And now... the weather my halfassed reading for the week.
Was doing a projection for the week, like I usually do.
Card drawn: Knight of Cups, reversed.
Hmm.
I feel strongly about the Knight of Cups - this knight, and the Knight of Pentacles, are the cards I most identify with, and figures that I most wish to emulate (...the positive aspects, at least). So, having it come up reversed in a reading leaves me feeling a bit uncomfortable.
The reversed Knight of Cups can indicate being ruled by the emotions too much... Right now, I feel fine. But after this turned up, I checked the electronic diary I use to record my depression episodes. It isn't a perfect system - in fact, it's very imperfect - but my mental illness does have a general cycle, of sorts, and if my brain decides to go by its typical schedule, then I'm due for an episode of depression... Uh. Later this week. Or some time next week.
Well then.
Good to know, I guess. Though I did suspect that I was due for a depressive episode soon; it's been a while since I last plunged into the pit of self-loathing.
It's always possible that the card is meant to represent something else. A general, "You're getting too caught up in things; stop being so flighty. Stop neglecting your responsibilities". Which is also a good thing to keep in mind, and I do need a weekly reminder to pull myself together. But the whole mental health thing is too obvious to ignore.
It's nice to have a head's up about it. Maybe if I'm expecting it, it'll be less of a pain in the ass to hold myself together than it usually would be.
