A Reading…

For those of you who don’t know (I think both of you do, but I will pretend to a larger audience)

I do readings with Tarot cards. Robin Wood is my favorite deck.

I have been avoiding them… well, really it started out as a not thinking about it and then is devolved into not remembering where they are… then into a denial about using them. Like that friend that you enjoy but just have a hard time reconnecting with. My cards are blunt (as am I) but with out the problems of social interaction. But you know where they stand!

Anyway… so I thought I would cast my cards and see what they have to say…

Card 1: The current situation - 9 of Pentacles - solitary wealth and luxury
Card 2: That which crosses it - the reality behind the smile - The Fool - lighthearted; One seeking fulfillment and experience
Card 3: Distant past - 5 of cups - crying over spilt milk
Card 4: overall goal - 2 of rods - one who is looking for fulfillment; waiting for plans to take root
Card 5: the recent happenings - Justice - Fairness, Balance, Equality - things finally coming together - getting one’s due
Card 6: Immediate Future - 3 of cups; Fulfillment (noticing a trend?), healing, perhaps a party is in store
Card 7: Self Card - my place in it - 8 of pentacles - nose to the grindstone, learning, gaining new knowledge (definitely a trend)
Card 8: How my emotions effect the situation - knight on a pillar, youthful idealism nostalgia
Card 9: Hopes and fears around the situation. - the Hermit - taking time out of life for contemplation - the search for truth - wisdom
Card 10: Final outcome - Judgement - A change in position, rejuvenation, rebirth, Reward, acquiring a purpose, Atonement, paying the piper, accounting for one’s actions
