Notes: I’ve been trying to do a 3 card spread when I can as well as my normal daily card (when I can). But as I use 2 different decks I’m finding it hard to see how well they work together. Each deck has it’s own personality I guess you could say & I find each deck tells me something completely different. Anyway my 3 card draw gave me all pentacles today, more often than not I draw pentacles/coins but i’m not use to seeing them all that suit.

But now I’m over the flu so hopefully things will go back to their daily routine.
