Today’s deck is the Sortilegium Tarot.
Sortilegium, or rather “Sortilegio”, is just a word used for fortune telling and divination. The deck itself doesn’t seen to have any one specific theme it’s trying to chase, but it’s rather the artist’s own tarot, and honestly it’s not half bad.
Now, today’s reading immediately jumped at me as warning about… general recklessness, lack of insight, and lack of fortitude. It doesn’t fit with anything off the top of my head and I could try to read it a different way, but the fact that that meaning was the one that jumped out at me stuck with me.
Will definitely keep in mind.
When I woke up a friend was asking me if I knew what a “Minato-ku Girl” is to tell me about something. And I did! So let’s talk about that curious phenomenon.
Minato-ku is one of Tokyo’s wards (basically one tier below Prefecture but one above district or area) and it’s basically home to a lot of high end places like Akasaka, Aoyama, and Roppongi. It also has a lot of HQs for businesses like Sony and Nikon.
It’s a very high-rise sort of place, and the joke here is that a “Minato-ku Girl” doesn’t even live there.
They get their name because they frequent Minato-ku, dressed very prim like they’re going to a high class bar… because they often are. This is the type of woman that haunts places like bars looking to entice any of the many businesspeople with lots of money that frequent the area.
As for my day, there was not meetup with friends today. We were all taking it easy and the other two did eventually meet up, but I decided to stay behind and focus on random chores and loose ends. The kind that I do at night anyways but I tried doing earlier this time around.
Part of it was also that the plan was to have late lunch (or lunner as I call it) and for some reason I got really hungry and had eaten beforehand.
Why is this weird? Because I’m not someone that gets hungry too often. I already have very low apetite when unmedicated and while the apetite surpressing side effect makes no difference to how I usually feel, there IS a physical effect.
So like… I’m already used to measuring meals by time rather than hunger, the meds just make the hunger even less common.
Which is why me suddenly feeling ravenous hunger that lasted for a while felt off. I even wondered if I forgot my meds, but no.
Not really much else to report though. I washed dishes, moved around things, took out trash…
The flipside is that usually when I have a LOT to say is because I’m stressed to kingdom come, so these lulls can be welcome.
