the trail of the cards

mice, dog, child
woman, house, stork
sun, heart, scythe




Will business improve?

Here is house -- we make our living with houses, buying them old and decrepit and fixing them up or flipping them to those who want to do so. In some cases, we have fixed and rented them, but that business is not great, with only minimal success as we've found few good renters.

House is the center card. It is my natural tendency to want that card to be the center of the reading. It is the first card I drew and I laid it in the center. Next came the cards above and below the center card:

dog, heart (as concerns house): A house we care about, where we have friends --

Woman, house, stork -- Here, we are talking of traveling and this house. Woman signifies home owner. (Man could have done as well).

Our loyalty (dog) to a home may be influencing us to fritter away time and money on one problem after another -- there may be hidden problems, one thing after another breaks down. (as in the home in which we are living now -- or possibly the one we are about to inspect). A friend's child may have an interest in one of the houses.

mouse/house/scythe -- You may want to cut your losses and give someone else, who may have more resources, the opportunity to make a profit from an investment on one of the houses that needs more than you can give.

child, house, sun -- You may find that a child of the previous owner is interested in the house. Check this when it comes to the house that is up next on your work schedule.

mice, child, scythe, sun -- compare this to the cards yesterday, which also included mice, child and scythe. These are the perimeter cards. A lot of minor problems that fritter away time and money, the child (of a friend), clearing away what is not needed, good results and recovery.

Looking to the very next project that we have lined up. Two are simultaneous. We have this house where we live now. We made minor repairs and have others slated for the coming weeks. We are also traveling to assess and make repairs in a house we own and get it ready for possible sale. Since I asked about business, I believe the reading addresses the second. We will find there are many little things needing repair. The woman next door, a friend to the old owner may want to purchase the place for her daughter.

We have hired a fellow to go and cut the grass (scythe). There may actually be mice to deal with. Sometimes the cards are that direct.
