Deck: 1909 Waite Smith (By A.E. Waite & P. Colman Smith)

Card Notes

Meaning (reversed card): In reverse, The Magician suggests a misuse of power, manipulation, or lacking confidence in one's abilities. It may indicate a need to reassess goals, overcome self-doubt, or be cautious of deceptive influences that could hinder progress.

1 – The Magician: The question was how do I feel about my situation with my health. I took this to mean that I'm feeling powerless, however at my core I know that it's an illusion.

The card suggests that there is harmony and balance in the relationship, and both parties are committed to supporting and nurturing one another.

Two of Cups: This card was how I should feel about my health situation. The two of cups is the little sibling of the lovers. This seems to suggest that I should be in a harmonious relationship. I'm guessing it means I should feel like my mind and body are in a harmonious relationship.

Meaning (reversed card): In reverse, Page of Pentacles' meaning can indicate a lack of focus, laziness, or a need for better planning and follow-through. It may suggest a tendency to get easily distracted or to lack the discipline needed to achieve your goals. Reversed, the card advises you to reflect on any areas where you may need to refine your approach or invest more effort into your endeavors. It encourages you to establish clear goals, create a structured plan, and stay committed to the practical steps required for success.

Page of Pentacles: This question was how do I get from how I'm currently feeling to how I should feel. The page of pentacles reversed seems to suggest that I need to work on setting goals and put more effort into being positive and manifesting what I want instead of feeling helpless and unmotivated.

Summary:

I have Long Covid that developed when I was in the Army. It caused me to be medically retired and completely killed my career aspirations. Now, I have so much brain fog, fatigue, and easily triggered migraines that I can't do more than get out of bed and get myself breakfast. The first card was how I feel about my situation, the second card is how I should feel about my situation, and the third card is how I get from how I feel to how I should feel.
