The Lovers Tarot Card is all about unity, connection and balance.
What do you find yourself powerfully drawn to this week? It could be a person, place or thing. Often we are drawn to something that is lacking in ourselves in an attempt to balance things out.
Communication and connecting with others may seem easier than usual this week and don’t be surprised if you feel a surge of passion towards something you had thought long forgotten – like an old hobby, for example.
Although The Lovers Tarot card is all about opposites attracting, try to look for the commonality that you share with others, rather than your differences – this will help you get on the same page with friends, family and colleagues.
*Note: For the month of October I am going to be taking a breather from my daily readings. Instead, I will be posting a card of the week. This will give me time to write more articles, reviews, videos, etc…I will return with my daily readings in November 🙂
Since I love, love, love making lists and coming up with my top 5 movies, top 5 books, etc, I thought it would be fun to list my top 5 Tarot decks. Keep in mind this is the top 5 Tarot decks amongst the Tarot decks I own and not all Tarot decks in existence! So of course, my top 5 Tarot decks list is a little biased. But if I could only keep five of my Tarot decks (god forbid!) these are the ones I’d grab:

I just can’t get enough of this magical, girly, touchy-feely Tarot deck! I love everything about it – except the white borders, which I hacked off with a paper cutter. At first glance you may think oh, this is another once of those wimpy, fluffy, bullshit decks…but no! It’s not. It’s totally awesome in so many ways.
I go on and on about how great the Crystal Visions Tarot deck is right here, so I will keep it short here. This deck never disappoints me. I always feel comforted and supported when I do a reading with these cards – its kind of like talking with a really wise friend who knows me well, is totally honest, but never a bitch.
The colours are delicious, the energy is divine – and I have never had an “off” reading with this deck yet! This is my go-to deck when I am all in a flap about something.

The Osho Zen Tarot is one bad-ass deck! I love it because it puts a whole new spin on the traditional Tarot cards. Its new-agey and “spiritual” – but not in a cheesy way. I feel like these cards were really designed for contemplation, not fortune telling.
Most importantly, these cards feel sublime when you shuffle them, which is a trait few Tarot decks possess, quite sadly. I love the way these cards pull me back into the present moment, into my center, so I am not spazzing out over life.
Reading with the Osho Zen deck is like sitting down with a really good therapist…..almost! Hop over here to read my full review on this deck.
The Druidcraft Tarot is a delightfully witchy deck with a distinct pagan feel. For some reason this deck reminds me of Fall, my favorite time of year, when its crispy and smoky outside and almost Halloween.
The cards are kind of big, which makes shuffling a pain in the ass, but the beauty of the cards makes up for this. I don’t really use this deck much, but I bring it out on special occasions and to give myself important readings.
This is a very earthy deck and the people in it are kind of fugly, which huge feet and beer guts and stuff like that. Overall, the cards have such an old, wise feel to them, making this an extra-special deck.
Go here to see how I interpreted some of the cards from this deck 🙂
I really like this deck. I can’t put my finger on what it is exactly that I like so much, but these cards just have a nice feel to them – a good energy. Plus, the cards themselves are slightly shorter than most of my decks, which makes shuffling really easy. Bonus!
This deck does something odd – it seems to personally attune to each person I am reading for and when I read for myself it has been spookily accurate! I am still getting to know this deck, but I can easily say that it one of my faves.
You can see all the readings I have done with this deck right here.
This deck is a total classic and a must-have for any serious Tarot deck hoarder! Despite the fact that this is a more recent addition to my collection, it feels like I have been reading with these cards for decades.
The Morgan-Greer Tarot is a product of the 70’s (first published in 1979) which is apparent in the appearance of the “pornstache” on many of the men. Fun stuff!
The best thing about this Tarot deck is that THERE ARE NO BORDERS on the cards! I can’t stand annoying borders – I love it when the image comes right to the edge of the card.
*So now I want to know….what are YOUR favorite Tarot decks? What is your go-to deck that never fails you? Tell me in the comment section below!
Veronica Noir is a Tarot reader, dominatrix, exhibitionist and the Daily Tarot Girl’s evil twin. She has an unhealthy addiction to online shopping, watching kitten videos on YouTube and of course, trolling for younger men and lying about her age! Here are her words of wisdom…
Today is all about giving and receiving….advice (and other things). You need to balance out the scales today and don’t be nice about it.
Take a long, hard look at your friendships. There is one friend in particular who is a total drain. This person takes, asks, demands and gives nothing back. She’s like Debbie Downer x 1000.
You’ve been nice, supportive and kind far too long. And it’s not helping. You need to dish up the tough-love, Veronica Noir style.
The best way to deal with this kind of person is to respond to their complaints and desperate pleas for sympathy by droning on and on about how fabulous your life is.
Next time she whines about her arthritis or back problems, tell her about the amazing orgy you had last night (even if you didn’t – its okay to embellish).
If she turns down your offer of cookies and tea by saying something bitchy like “I’m going gluten, sugar and caffeine free,”tell her all about the decadent chocolate cake you had for breakfast. Have fun with it!
If she asks you to get up at 6 am on a Saturday to help her with fundraising for some bullshit charity, tell her you can’t because you are busy…sleeping.
These whiny, miserable types need to be put in their place. She will either be inspired by your capacity for hedonistic enjoyment of life or she will be repulsed. Either way you won’t have to listen to her moaning and groaning much longer!
The King of Cups! He is such a funny little dude, looking all uptight and secretive. This King holds secrets, that’s for sure! Emotional secrets.
What feelings are you hiding from others (and maybe even yourself?) What area of your life do you not allow feeling to flow through?
Today will be an interesting day – you will have the choice to either ignore a feeling or engage with it.
Yes, you may seem unstable to those who are so used to you being the “rock” who keeps it together. But so what? Keeping your emotions all bottled up inside is no picnic either. Let it flow!
Today’s Tarot card, Nine of Wands, is all about confronting your fears head on.
You may be feeling a little world weary and perhaps you have lowered your expectations lately. But the Nine of Wands is here to remind you need not expect the worst – everything will be fine.
But don’t ignore that niggling feeling that something is “off” – explore it and see where it takes you. Your intuition is trying to tell you something and sometimes you mistake this for danger, but it’s not.
Know that you are safe now and any “danger” you perceive may be a result of things not working out well in the past. As you let go of these negative expectations, your energy levels will soar and you will be truly free!
Today’s Angel card urges you to find a physical outlet for all of your energy. Dance, run, do housework, garden – your body wants you to move!
If you are thinking “what is she talking about? I am exhausted!”, then get outside for a walk and some fresh air. It may seem counterproductive, but it isn’t – the movement will energize you.
Today is all about enjoying your body and how it moves – things like dancing and moving to a rhythm actually connect you to the divine in a powerful way.
Here’s a fun thing to try – tonight, after dinner, turn out all the lights and play your favorite music. With your eyes closed, move your body however it wants to move – don’t censor yourself, just be totally un-selfconscious.
It may feel really messed up at first, but keep going. Doing this helps to break up any energy blocks in your body and mind. Before you know if you will be writhing in ecstasy! (Or just having a good time ;))
Things are speeding up! Hold on to your hat because life is unfolding before your very eyes…at the speed of lightening!
The Eight of Wands Tarot card signifies that important letters/emails are being written and sent. Should you censor yourself? There’s no time to think!
You may get news of something good today, or just simply feel that things are beginning to really happen for you.
You have an increased ability to communicate to others in a direct, non-apologetic manner. No beating around the bush for you today!
Veronica Noir is a lover of Tarot, cats and men in their early 20′s. Veronica spends her days eating coffee cheesecake, spying on neighbors and just being her fabulous self! Let’s see what she has to say about the Ten of Pentacles…
Beware of those who hold up certain “values” as if they were universal.
The lady in this Ten of Pentacles card is holding up the picture of a giant house as if to say “look! This is what we all should strive for – an orange mansion with strategically placed shrubbery!”
But do you notice that this domesticity-pusher is wearing an apron? It’s because she is serving an “ideal” that does not serve her. But before I go all sociology student on you….
Lets take an even closer look at this card. What is actually being held up and presented is a giant round hole – a hole that needs to be filled.
You can stuff this “hole” with all kinds of things – food, orange mansions, money, material possessions, a hunky spouse, pointless busy-ness, or my favorite one….lots of sex!
But like a Sigmund Freud nightmare, this hole is insatiable and always hungers for more. What to do? What to do?
Be a Laura Croft hole raider and find out as much as you can about your “hole” – ooh, that sounds dirty! But really, notice what you habitually try to stuff yourself with. For me, its coffee cheesecake and stiletto boots, but for you maybe it’s jumbo jets and hookers. Don’t judge yourself.
In the comments below, give me the dirty deets…what do you strive to attain in the hopes it will make you feel “whole” and satisfied?
The Ten of Swords has appeared today to let you know that you have some sadness that needs to be released.
This can happen in three ways – you may unconsciously create a situation in which you can feel sadness and express it, or you will have a sad dream which allows you to feel intense emotion or you can just feel the feeling of grief/sadness and let it move through your body until it is released.
The last option is best as it is quickest and will not create added drama. Something has come to and end and this is just the last phase of release – then you will be free to turn over a new leaf and start things afresh!
The key is to not be afraid of this emotion – the feeling itself is harmless, it is only when you try to avoid the feeling that it becomes uncomfortable.
Today’s Angel card asks you to relax about your Divine Purpose.
If you have been fretting lately about whether or not you are doing what you are “supposed” to be doing, the answer is “yes”.
Your divine purpose is usually something very general and can be fulfilled in a million different ways. You are always living out your divine purpose to a certain extent, no matter what.
However, lately you have felt like you could be doing more and you tell yourself that if you figured out what you were meant to do, things would feel right.
Beware that part of this is just your ego’s way of making you feel like you aren’t good enough and your not doing it right, but part of it is your genuine intuitive sense that things could be better.
So ask yourself: What do I want more of in my life? What would I do if money was no object? ~ Asking these two questions will give you some clues about the nature of your divine purpose.
