So my first thought was - damn! this totally works as a "regular" reading... maybe the Tarocco di Bologna is not the right motivational deck, it's too kind and nice... So as a reading - batons, it's about work - 6 batons - they're stuck, in the middle, they block each other - stagnation. valet - comes with his one baton to deblock the situation, get it moving. not forcing it, he holds his baton lightly, but he is resolutely looking at the world. Le Monde: very tired animals on the bottom, lying there passively, sleeping (me right now) - transformed to very active wings flapping figures on the top (me after i hand in my tax declaration). Figure in the middle has raised his baton by now, so he became active.
BUT I KNEW ALL THIS ALREADY BEFORE, thanks, Tarot! I don't want advice, i want a kick in the butt to get me going!
So in comes the Flornoy Dodal with the same cards:
And, what can I say, much better!
6 Batons: "FLOWERS! If you finish it before your trip to Berlin on thursday, I will buy you nice flowers! You like flowers, right? Well, no clean desk and tax declaration done - no flowers!" (Presents as gratification for yourself, works sometimes!)
Valet and the Monde-figure seem to be looking at each other, rolling their eyes, making fun of me.
Monde: "Oh he is whining again about not getting things done... I'm sure he will NEVER get his ass moving and do these things..."
Valet: "Yeah I can't listen to it anymore... Look, I am imitating him! He has everything he needs at the tip of his fingers, but he is too lazy to get up and work this baton!
(Mhm - making fun of myself! Might work!) Bull and Lion seem to grin at me, too...
And then the Angel and the Bird! The angel looks REALLY worried - "Oh no, what if you don't make it - you will have to pay a fee for handing your taxes in too late... I am so worried about your finances..." - he is like the little angel on the shoulder, the voic of reason. And the bird, even with his halo, is the little devil on the other side of the shoulder. "If you don't want to do it now, you can always do it later... There's no hurry... There are so many things more interesting to do....". (Best strategy for me agains procrastination: remember it's a choice. You don't have to do it - just see the consequences if you decide not to and then make a decision. So if I decide not to do my taxes, consequenes will be that I lose money because I have to pay more. Is the money worth it? Not really.)
Thanks cards! I am off to do what I have to do. And will try to only check in here when it's done
