Today's Tarot is the Chariot. The Chariot means movement in classic interpretations but as usual there is a bit more to it esoterically than you see at first glace.
The two sphinx are not yoked and drawing the chariot. They are sitting in front of it. Nor are they duplicates of each other, one white and one black. Looking closely you will see the black sphinx is male and the white one is female. This is the reverse of what you would expect as black is always associated with the Yin or female principal. The male looks quite unhappy and is holding leaves. The female seems to be smirking and holds a cross. The symbol on the Chariot is a top and a top spins round and round and goes nowhere.
This is why readers are so often wrong when the Chariot appears in a spread. It doesn't indicate movement. It indicates you are spinning your wheels and blocked by the very things you think are helping you. You have rejected the ways and means that would have helped you. The ruler is impotent. He has turned his back on the people (the city behind him) and you, too, are impotent in this situation.

Today's Tarot is the Four of Wands. Although this card indicates partying and friends, it also shows some intimate conversations apart from the crowd at a social event. Don't turn down any invitations as they may be opportunities in disguise.

Today's Tarot is the Four of Pentacles Reversed. Continuing the theme from yesterday, money is going out but not coming in so fast. You will find it hard to hold onto your money so don't put yourself in a position where it is easy to spend too much.

Today's Tarot is the Nine of Cups, reversed. This is a card that indicates generosity and giving freely. Those who hoard needlessly and are selfish will find their world turned on its head today.

Today's Tarot is the Page of Swords. This is a Capricorn card. It indicates old knowledge, being older than your years and a very somber mood. Not exactly the card you want for a Saturday but there it is!

Today's Tarot is the Death reversed.
This will be a day when people hold their beliefs close and refuse to change no matter how much evidence is presented they are wrong.
