I just did a Body-Mind-Spirit three card reading, and got:

1. Four of Cups
2. Nine of Swords
3. The Star

It's funny, because yesterday I was thinking about the cards that I find particularly intriguing, and the Four of Cups and Nine of Swords were two of them. I hadn't thought about The Star, but it is, of course, an interesting one.

I talked about the Four of Cups this morning; in general, I take it to mean that I'm inclined to concentrate on the wrong things, to look at my life as being commonplace or boring, and not realizing that there are other things being offered to me if I would only recognize them. In the "Body" position, perhaps this means that my body would feel better to me if I spent more time on it, fed it better, got more exercise, i.e., not just accepting the status quo, but taking the cup that is offered, realizing I could better my lot. That one probably merits more thought.

The Nine of Swords represents worry, guilt, anguish. It shows a woman sitting up in bed, head in hands, with the nine swords arrayed on the wall behind her. To me, it represents middle-of-the-night worry, those things that may not seem quite so awful in the daylight, but which take on terrible significance in the small hours. In LearnTarot.com, Joan Bunning says:

Needless to say, the Nine of Swords is not the most pleasant of cards, but it doesn't always indicate major distress. Often it is just a sign of some element of unhappiness or trouble - a vulnerable spot in your life. This card is often a warning from your Inner Guide that the path you are going down may be a difficult one. If you approach the Nine of Swords in this spirit - as a caution sign - you will be able to use it constructively. Examine your situation carefully to be sure you are making the best choices. Even a small change can make all the difference.

For me, it is completely apropos as representative of my mental state, I can't argue with it.

And The Star! Hope, inspiration, generosity, just the perfect card for "Spirit." And this (again, from Joan Bunning), is perfect:

In readings, the Star is most welcome when grief and despair have overwhelmed us. In our darkest moments, we need to know that there is hope, that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The Star is the opposite of the Devil who strips us of our faith in the future. Card 17 holds out the promise that we can eventually find peace of mind. The Star also reminds us to open our heart and release our fears and doubt. If you have been holding back in any way, now is the time to give generously.
