How many cards are in your deck for readings? It would be nice to have a reference for their names and meanings; I would like to homebrew a derivative from them for a D&D game that I am DMing. Might you be willing to share?
uhh well there's 145 cards in the deck and they all have readings. i... added a few since last time.
i plan on selling like, an official version, but if this experience has demonstrated anything to you it should be that you really can make up your own and it's just fine so, like, go ahead and do that if you want. might be worth shelling out for some blank cards that have the like, proper playing card finish, if you're willing/able to spend like a few bucks more, the ones i have kind of suck.
(you can even get blank cards with like the bicycle card back, but those are even more expensive)
anyways. readings.
the suits I read as follows:
♠: spades I associate with like, material contradiction. so this means like, when there's two things (people, projects, ideals, emotions, w/e) that need the same resource (time, effort, money, commitment, w/e) and are thus put in conflict.
♥: hearts i associate with like, reproduction in the sense of what-is-necessary-for-something-to-continue. you can think of it as a sort of generalized "health": stuff like life, family, projects, support systems, nations, class structures, they will break down and cease to be if not maintained, and that's like. what i mean by reproduction. continuing to make yourself (or copies of yourself) exist.
♦: diamonds is like, what-makes-life-worth-living. friends, loved ones, material possessions sometimes, etc
♣: clubs is labor. the stuff you dedicate your life to, your life's work, etc.
a spread that is more red should be read as having more to do with internal factors, a spread that is more black should be read as having more to do with external factors. a spread that is more concupiscent (♠♥) should be read as being more visceral, a spread that is more conciliatory (♣♦) should be read as being more thoughtful.
onto the actual card values. these here are the cards in the spades suit:
Tumblr media
you can extrapolate from this what the other suits will look like. the values i read as follows:
-1: these are things that happened before your intervention; this could mean the assumptions you made before you started, or the events that unfolded before the situation at hand, or etc, that sort of stuff
0: this means the absence of something. it could mean that something is missing or not started or gone, which might sound bad, but it could also mean that you're free of something.
½: this means something is in progress or incomplete or only part there or insufficient or (etc)
√3/2: this one is to do with mirror symmetry; flipping to the dual, considering the opposite, etc.
1: something is finished, complete, all there, etc
√2: taking a shortcut, cutting the gordian knot, so on
φ: spiralling, upwards or downwards
2: a relationship between exactly two things, a single edge in a graph
e: an exponential process; something that builds up small and then blows up
3: a basic building block (think triangles being rigid or 3-SAT being NP-complete)
π: cycles
4: orthogonality, coincidence, multitasking, separate things that have to be handled separately, unrelatedness
5: mystery (familiar); things you use every day while remaining fundamentally mysterious. intuition, insight, guesswork, etc
6: balance, perfection; not abundant, not deficient, "as simple as possible but no simpler"
7: mystery (unfamiliar); things that are mysterious but not everyday. confusion, surprise, the unknown
8: networks, indirect effects
9: having to make a choice as to who you should be, like on an alignment chart
10: familiarity, a sense of effortlessness
11: stuff that in principle should be familiar to you but somehow isn't. friends you haven't seen in a while, stuff you learned a long time ago, etc
12: flexibility, accommodation, sacrificing doing your stuff efficiently for making sure it gets done
13: clicking. for some reason you and something or someone working well together, as if you were two halves of a whole. or more than two, idk.
ω: something you work towards without the expectation that you will reach it; an ideal that you strive for.
ω+1: the consequences of your ideal should it be attained; the question "and then what?"
𝖈: that which is entirely beyond human attainment; the divine, the sublime, the eternal
i: posit that you are magically given a tool that solves your problem. what is that tool like? what is the least impossible version of that tool?
Jack: routine, everyday, implicit help; the help someone might come to take for granted
Cavalier: exceptional one-time help; the cavalry to the rescue
Queen: where you can exert your full power; what you're good at, where your talents lie, the way you can most strongly affect the world.
King: that which you must protect absolutely; the piece that when lost ends the game.
a note on reading: when you have three number cards x, y, z such that x + y = z, you should think of z as a consequence of x + y. similarly try to think of other like, coincidences of sums, as meaningful. it makes the reading richer.
next, there's the trump cards:
Tumblr media
these are interpreted as follows:
0 the fool: forgetting. maybe you've forgotten something or are ignoring something you shouldn't be, maybe you're supposed to forget or ignore something, like details. simplification. obstinacy. irony. all that.
I the individual: a particular person. often yourself. maybe you need to do something yourself. idk
II childhood: dependency, irrelevance, lack of control
III youth: finding your place in the world or in like. something more specific.
IV maturity: duty, career, responsibility, all that
V old age: giving up, passing the torch, taking a back seat, moving on
VI morning: figuring out the next step, setting course for like a short period of time (rather than for the rest of your life)
VII afternoon: autopilot. course is set for the day, you're keeping going until evening.
VIII evening: cooling down, taking a break
IX night: you're not supposed to be working now. secrets, stealth.
X earth + air: if it's upright it's air (weather, chaos, unpredictability) if it's reversed it's earth (slow accumulation, growth)
XI water+ fire: if it's upright it's fire (consumption of resources, sacrifice) if it's reversed it's water (incompressible flow, transportation of stuff from somewhere to somewhere else, logistics)
XII dance: coordination, skillful collective motion
XIII shopping: exchanges, trades, bargains, something-gained-for-something-lost
XIV open air: external factors, taking the wider view, "go touch grass"
XV visual arts: trying to picture it; studying the actual thing and capturing its details and being able to imagine it in more accurate ways
XVI spring: sowing seeds, starting something (for you or for others) that will not immediately bear fruit
XVII summer: exhaustion, perseverance, the middle of a project
XVIII autumn: harvest time, bearing fruit, getting ready for the winter
XIX winter: a dark period, a death
XX the game: self-awareness, self-reference, self-knowledge, etc
XXI the collective: a group of people working together, mutual aid, society, etc
finally there's the "accidentals":
Tumblr media
Black joker: a sudden drastic change, a singular point (in the environment of the thing you're considering)
Red joker: a sudden drastic change, a singular point (inside the thing you're reading for)
Blue joker: a sudden drastic change in everything
The cards with the rules on it: the literature; consulting it, contributing to it, etc
The blank card i left in the deck accidentally: bore yourself and let your mind wander. or meditate, i guess. contemplate the void
The face-down card: something known only to whoever you're reading for.
The template i used to make these cards: find an example to consider. someone or something to follow or imitate or avoid being like or transcend.

Realized that I’d never seen one of those triangle alignment charts with The Big 3 of the 90s-2000s so I did it myself (blank is under the cut if anyone wants to do it).

Budgeting Basics
The unfortunate reality is that many people don’t know how to budget. They end up maxing out their credit cards and accruing a large amount of debt. They wouldn’t even know how to start because the debt balloons faster than they can pay off. Others state that they can’t save enough, but have a $60/month gym membership and 3 streaming accounts that are $12.99/month each.
If someone is paying $12.99/month for 3 accounts, that’s about $467/year. Even if they can’t move that to investments, at the very least those payments can be used to pay down debt. Are the gym memberships and streaming accounts really that important? Some may initially think so, but when the month ends and their balance in the bank is under $10, it may be time to re-think those priorities. By creating a tool for people to understand where their money is going, that can be the first step for financial stability.
The Monthly Budget spreadsheet (which is free) is the first step for people to help them identify how much they earn and save versus how much they spend, (broken down by Needs, Wants and Debt). Using this spreadsheet will show where the income is going and how it’s broken down in the 50/30/20 rule, (which I will explain later in the instructions as well). Once the spreadsheet is filled out, people will be able to clearly see their expenses and ways to reduce the Wants and Needs while putting more into savings and investments. I understand that everyone’s financial situation is different, but I would assume that everyone would like to retire with no debt and have a comfortable savings/retirement account.
After using this spreadsheet, my hope is for people to better understand where their money is and how much debt they actually have. People don’t realize using debt to pay off more debt only creates more trouble until they see it broken down.  Paying off debt should be a priority as interest accrued (amount owed on top of what is being borrowed) will be minimized. I will provide a Credit card and Debt calculator for people to use in another post. This will help them understand how much interest will be accrued and ways to minimize that impact.
Please note that I live in the U.S and quite a bit of what I write will revolve around the laws and regulations within this country. Budgeting can be applied globally, but do know there will be times that these posts may not align with your country's (or even state) regulations.
Please feel free to leave any feedback on the file in the comments section. If you’re interested in how the spreadsheet was created (formulas, thought process, etc..), a tutorial or any other spreadsheet suggestions, please leave a comment.
Click here to access the: Monthly Budget Spreadsheet
How to use the Google Sheet file: Monthly Budget
Open the google sheet and go to the top left to File and either:
Make a copy of the google sheet or download the file as an Excel spreadsheet.
Note: If you download the file as an Excel spreadsheet, the formula and drop downs will still work, but the formatting and coloring may be off. The 50/30/20 chart may not work either for some reason…
The reason why the file is locked and only available for download/copy is to protect peoples’ information from being shared over the internet. Please make a copy into your personal drive.
Not everything has to be filled out. If you don’t have that many expenses, just leave them blank and enter things that you earn, save, spend. It’s your budget and everyone’s is different.
*If you already know how to use spreadsheets, you can probably skip this section.
Using the Monthly Budget file Instructions:
Once you download and/or make a copy of the spreadsheet and open the copied file, you will notice the following:
The cells in BLUE font can and should be changed to reflect your own finances. This is your budget, and this should help you categorize what you’re making, saving and spending on.
In Columns A and C there are downward pointing triangles (in excel it won’t show until you scroll over the cells). These are dropdown selections where you have a list to choose from.
Column and Input Descriptions (Going from left to right):
Column A is a description of what the payment is (you can fill in whatever you want here as everyone’s income/savings/expenses will all be different) to help track how much you’re paying/spending for each item.
Column B is a dropdown selection/list for how often a payment/amount happens. Example: If you get paid bi-weekly, you should left-click on the triangle and change the cell to “Every Two Weeks” instead of the “Twice a Month” in row 3. There’s also Monthly and Weekly as well if you get paid like that.
Column C is another dropdown for the types of Categories these payments are for. This helps identify whether the expenses are necessities or not and will reflect in the graphs to the right.
Currently there are 6 choices:
Income – The after-tax amount you make to spend and/or save
Savings – The amount you move to the side for emergency and extra savings
Investments – The amount you move to investment accounts expecting long-term growth
Debt – The amount you must pay back to Banks, Loans and other things that are being borrowed against (this is a type of expense).
Needs – The amount you need to spend for essential items for basic living and survival (this is a type of expense).
Wants – The amount you need to spend for non-essential items (this is a type of expense).
Column D is where you enter the amount you earned, saved, invested, or spent for the items shown in Column B.
Column E and F transform the amounts to a monthly and annual/yearly basis since it’s easier to read in those amounts.
You’ll notice that Rows 9, 23 and 47 are highlighted in orange with white font. Those are the total amounts for Income, Savings & Investments and Expenses. It’s easier to compare your income vs. expenses when it’s converted either monthly or annually.
As we go to the right from Columns H-L, these are the monthly totals categorized by Column C and added together. It has the overall monthly amount in row 3, the percentage of income in row 4 and then a visual breakout shown as a donut chart.
From Columns N-R, it’s further broken out using the 50/30/20 Budget rule
The general guideline for the 50/30/20 rule is:
50% of your expenses should be in “Needs” (things that are essential and necessary to survive)
30% of your expenses CAN be in “Wants”
The last 20% will be for savings, investments and paying off debt.
Realistically, I think people can manage up to 50% in “Needs”, 30% in savings, investments and paying off debt (the sooner you pay off debt the more flexibility you will have with cash flow) and the rest in “Wants”.
