Drive

I often think of the ace's as opportunities. When I see of the Ace of Crosses (earth), I think of the opportunity and gift of finance or possibly a boost of health. It does not necessarily represent a large injection of money; it might be a small amount, which allows us to make more money of our own. Maybe it could also be about professional guidance. In terms of today's card, the Ace of Masks (fire), the opportunity regards inspiration and drive. I'd hope that this card brings about the start of something exciting; a new adventure.

My boyfriend has today off, so I keep forgetting that it is a Monday. After our long weekend, we have kept today simple, choosing to shop locally for his parent's birthday presents. I was really hoping that the Ace of Masks would bring about news of either of the jobs I applied for, but it hasn't. With The Fool arriving yesterday, maybe they are more about preparation and the getting ready for something new, rather than a message, as I thought this one might be today.

My parents are downstairs dozing. My mother has had problems with her leg for a while, which I think is sciatica. She finds it very painful in the morning and screws her face up as she tries to get down the stairs. My father was quite violently sick last night and went to lay on the sofa afterwards, where he is again now. This has happened before, not so long ago, and I must confess that their health does worry me.
