Card of the Day, Day 3


I woke up with a headache, so today's description might be shorter than usual.

Using the Thoth deck, I drew the 2 of Disks. Qabalistically, the twos correspond to Chokmah, the first manifestation from the divine, but it isn't yet structured (that comes with the 3s in Binah). The earth element at Chokmah manifests in fluctuating outer circumstances. The card is thought of as harmony of change, and the use of the Yin-Yang symbol in the card is evocative of that, but also included is the image of the snake eating its tail, hinting at the difficulty inherent in perpetual reversal.

From a divinatory standpoint, the flux manifests as being dissatisfied with any one thing. There's constant change and wandering. It can be going from job to job or person to person, but generally there's a vague sense of dissatisfaction, perhaps even melancholy, where any time a person settles into their life, they become discontent and go in search of greener pastures. It can also refer to a situation where there's a mixture of gain and loss.
