Topic: Free Tarot Readings in this thread.

Broseph !!fxnDb+Ve4 started this discussion 15 years ago #2,693

I'm now comfortable enough with the readings to keep them all in one thread. So, if you would like a Tarot reading, please simply post here asking for one. It helps if you:

1) Pick a number between 1 and 77 (so that I know where to cut the 78 card deck and this gives you some control over the cards.)
2) Post a recent picture of yourself (if you are comfortable with that.)
3) Ask a specific question. If you don't have a specific question and you just want a general reading, simply don't post a question.

Some things to keep in mind while asking a question:
a) The question should be complex enough that it cannot be answered with "yes" or "no". For example, instead of asking "Will I succeed?" try asking something like "What steps do I need to take to improve my chances of success?"
b) The question should focus on you, and not someone else, and should also be open-minded. For example, instead of asking "When will my mother-in-law move out of the house?" try asking something like "What can I do to improve the situation between myself and my mother-in-law?"

Please be patient as each reading takes a while, and you might post while I'm at work or something and have to wait until I get home to do it. But post in this thread, and I'll get around to all serious inquiries eventually.

@49,633 (sim !!hXKXHhLro)
Based on what I'm seeing in the cards, the question is not so much "how long will it take" as it is "what do I need to do." You should also be asking yourself why you want a home there. I get a sense of nostalgia, like you once lived there or visited family there for a long time. The cards are telling me that you might move there, but that you need to appreciate what you have right now, first. I get the feeling there are people in your life now who you don't appreciate and you want to get away from them. I'm getting that "grass isn't always greener on the other side" kind of feeling, but I believe you can move their and be happy if you know what you're doing. This desire to move away has more to do with self-assertion and proving yourself to others than the other reasons you want to live there. You should work on your other life goals first, and prove yourself to others through your industriousness and hard work. Try to appreciate those close to you now, rather than assuming that moving there will immediately bring back the nostalgia you seek.
I get the feeling that you have, or had, a lot of promising opportunities in your current position. There are many people around your willing to help you achieve your goals, but you don't seem to realize it. You seem to be trying to push them out of your life instead. Try following the advice of those close to you, and don't pass up the opportunities you have now just for the sake of rebelling. I get a feeling that it's almost like you're out for revenge of some kind, and it seems to be blinding you. You have a strong desire for power and a lot of enthusiasm, but your emotions are misguiding you. You need to try to be more faithful to those around you and see where this takes you first. Like I said, the people close to you want to help you succeed.
You're already hesitant to move right now as it is because you understand the success you're having right now and you don't want to lose that happiness. Your relationships with others has improved lately as you've worked through some problems, and I see a lot of love in your life. You're wondering if you're going to have to leave this all behind, or if there's anyway you can take it with you. You're wondering if you'll move there as a family or as a loner. Definitely go the family route if you can. You just need to learn to trust people and accept their input. Don't try to plan out all of this by yourself. The loner route isn't going to work. Don't be so obstinate to the advice of others.

Right now, you feel like it's your way or the highway. You think your plan is perfect and just has to work. You feel like you're in an oppressive environment right now and that everyone is being overbearing on you and selfish. They're all depending on your for everything, and you want to free yourself while pulling the rug out from underneath them. In reality, you're the one being a little selfish, and many of these people, overbearing as they may be, are just out to help you. Your worst fear right now is that if you don't move quickly and execute your plans, you'll get stuck where you are forever and be stuck in this cycle of oppression with everyone depending on you, but that's not going to happen. If anything, being too hasty can cause you to make decisions you'll regret right now. If you focus too much on material gain and only what's best for you, you will find yourself very lonely in the future. In fact, your final card is The Devil, Lord of the Gates of Matter, which represents subordination and bondage to material things. Something tells me that you'll go their eventually, but not before getting your emotional life sorted out first. It's not just a matter of having enough wealth to do so, otherwise you'll just live there lonely and rich. It's more of a matter of having to right people with you to help you do it. I see you getting married and starting a family there, because your family wants to, not because you want to run away from something.

@49,634 (Harleen Quinzel !jEsTERxAng)
Harleen Quinzel

Your first card is Ten of Swords, Lord of Ruin. This card tells me that despite all the love and happiness you're receiving from those around you right now, all your plans seem to be in disarray. You feel like everything is falling apart around you, and that's why you're questioning if you're on the right path. You're wondering if you're doing the right thing and if everything will come together in the long term, or if things are going wrong because of something you did and what needs to change. Your second card is The Magician, The Magus of Power. This card, combined with the last, tells me that you have a lot of originality, skills, and self-confidence, but you feel like they're not being put to good use in your current situation. You're worried that if you don't find a way to utilize your talents, it's going to make you feel insecure, inept, and wear away at your will to continue. This is why you're worried you won't be happy in the long run. So you're trying to think of new ways to use your talents to your advantage, maybe get some sort of promotion where you're more utilized, challenged, and can prove your worth, or maybe you just feel like you need to get out of a dead end job. Your third is the Princess of Cups, Princess of the Palace of the Floods, and your fifth card is the Knight of Pentacles, Lord of the Wild and Fertile Land. What this tells me is that your most recent job was repetitive, laborious, dull, and a heavy burden on you. This is one of those things that is causing these feelings, and might even be the dead end job I'm thinking of. You feel like your talents are not being utilized. This is what the Knight of Pentacles tells me. The Princess of Cups tells me that you're a very creative and imaginative person. You're a kind and gentle person, leaning more towards the artistic and humanistic side of things rather than the cold and methodical side of the jobs you've had in the past, but you're just not sure how to apply that. You just know that you want to do something with your life where people appreciate this care-free and poetic side of you, but you don't want to drop everything and become a writer or artist or whatever. This is consistent with The Magician card you got in position two. The Magician like to work outward, have an actual effect on the world, and make a difference, do something original, but you just can't seem to find an outlet for those inner talents you have. Your fourth card is an inverted Three of Wands, Lord of Established Strength, and your sixth card is the Two of Cups, Lord of Love. These cards together represent your past and future, or the part of your life that's phasing out and the part of your life that's phasing in. The inverted Three of Wands tells me that you feel like your past isn't very complete. There was some sort of major goal you didn't accomplish and you worry that it might be affecting your current situation. Maybe something you didn't finish in college or something of that nature? The Two of Cups tells me that your future holds a lot of friendships, love, passion, and all around harmony in all aspects of your life. This card kinds tells me that you shouldn't worry too much about the career aspect of your life, because you're the type of person who's going to find balance in all aspects of your life, and be very happy, rather than the type of person who gets so carried away with work that they don't have time for friends and family. I say that you should definitely act on these doubts you're having though. You're not on a terrible path, but you definitely need to stay out of dead end jobs that feel like they bring you down. Do more to express your creative side and don't worry about money so much. Your life is meant to be focused more on love and expressing your creativity than worrying about your financial future. I'm not saying go nuts and become the starving artist on the street corner, I'm just saying do what feels right and don't like society tell you that you have to work that boring 9-5 job or whatever.

Your seventh card is the Six of Pentacles, Lord of Material Success, which I think means that you're about to get a promotion or new job of some kind where you'll be able to better express your creative and humanitarian side. So keep looking for new ways to express yourself and show people what you're capable of, and if you see a new opportunity come up but you're having doubts about it, go for it! Your eighth card is the Ace of Swords, Lord of the Root of the Powers of Air, and it means that you're in an environment right now where there's a lot of whirling and decision making, which again ties in well with your question of what path to take, and my answer to this is the same as the last card. Don't doubt yourself for one second! If you doubt yourself and don't act on what you feel is right, you're gonna get stuck in that dead end job where you feel like you're wasting your life. You've got the determination, you just need to get rid of the doubt. Your ninth card The Chariot, Lord of the Triumph of Light, and it represent your inner emotions, fears, anxieties, etc. This card tells me that right now you're feeling confident and successful, but you're worried that the success is only temporary and you're looking for that higher calling. You're looking for something that you can really persevere at it, and not just pay the bills. So, I think you can see the continuing theme here. You're not on a bad path, but you asked the question because you have doubts about the other paths you're considering, and you need to stop doubting them and act. You don't need to veer completely off the path you're on an change directions, you just need to make those little changes you're already considering. Your tenth and final card is the Emperor, Son of the Morning, and this card tells me that the one thing you need to make everything come together is ambition. Just get rid of those doubts and go for it. There's going to be some conflict along the way, but your struggles are going to make a big difference in the world, and everything's going to come together harmoniously.

@previous (Killer Lettuce !!iNo3FkiZx)
I wasn't very clear in my definition of what makes a good question. The cards are meant to answer questions in regards to seeking guidance in your life, not predict the future, so questions like "How old will I be when I die" or "When will I be able to afford this car" do not work. Questions like "How should I change my lifestyle to live the longest life possible" or "What financial steps should I take to one day be able to afford this car" are more appropriate questions.

But if you would still like me to do a reading where I focus on how your taste in music is going to change, I will give it a try. There's a long line in front of you though.

Your cards are very interesting. Your first card and second card, respectively, are Ten of Pentacles and Ten of Cups. The Ten of Pentacles, Lord of Wealth, represents material gain at its pinnacle, but also means going no further. This means you've reached a point in your life where you've gotten everything you were going after, but not it's time to move onto the next goal if you want to gain anymore. So, life's good but don't become stagnant. The Ten of Cups, Lord of Perfected Success, represents lasting success, in the sense of home, family, generosity and kindness. I think what these two cards are trying to say is that you're on the right path in terms of your career and wealth, so now it's time to focus more on the sentimental aspects of your life. Money can't buy happiness is what I think these two cards are trying to say to you. You need to focus on the kind of happiness you can get from charity and family. Your third and fifth card, respectively, are an inverted Princess of Swords, and an inverted Ten of Wands. These cards tell me that you might have used lying and subterfuge to get to where you are. That or someone around you is tricking you and you don't realize it yet. It's not clear, tbh. But either you, or whoever this person is, is going to get caught and revealed as an impostor. We'll see if this becomes more clear as I read into more cards.

Your fourth and fifth card, respectively, are The Chariot, inverted, and an inverted Queen of Wands. These cards lead to believe that you're not the deceiver, but the one who might have been deceived. Looking in your past, I see that something was just within your grasp but you were then defeated at the last minute and were ultimately unsuccessful. I think whoever defeated you was the deceiver in this case. They cheated you. But, when this person is eventually revealed as a cheater, you're going to go and seek revenge. Or maybe you already know they're a cheater, and your revenge is going to be to reveal them as one and send them crashing down. Something is still not quite clear though. If you're the cheater, this could be a warning that the other person is going to seek revenge, and tear you down. It's still not perfectly clear. Maybe it's mutual and you both cheated each other? That would explain the ambiguity. Let's see what the other cards reveal.

Your seventh card The Star, and this tells me that right now you're feeling hopeful. You feel like nothing could go wrong, but then your ninth card is an inverted Nine of Swords, which represents an environment full of lack of pity and suffering. Perhaps this represents you getting caught, or perhaps this represents the cheater's tyranny over you. Your ninth card is an inverted Ace of Swords, which means that deep down you're feeling tyranny, disaster, and self-destruction. I'm guessing either from guilt, or maybe the revenge you seek will destroy you, or maybe both. I've gotta be honest, this feels like one of my worst readings. I'm having trouble tying all this together in a way that I usually can. Is any of this making more sense to you than it is to me? Anyway, your tenth and final card, which is supposed to tie everything together and give it an ending, is the Five of Wands, Lord of Strife, which means that there's going to be a huge back and forth struggle between the two of you. That's the feeling I get out of it anyway. :\

Your first and second card are the Seven of Pentacles, Lord of Success Unfulfilled, and Fortitude, Daughter of the Flaming Sword. What these two cards are telling me is that the reason you're questioning the overall enjoyment in your life is that you feel like you haven't been very successful so far. The Fortitude card tells me that this could be a self-confidence issue. If you're always letting yourself believe that you're weak and can't do it, then you're going to fail. You need to get your strength up, and come up with a plan to be more successful if you want to be more successful. Even if you don't gain as much as you hope, you should at least feel better about what success you have. Your third and fifth card are the Three of Pentacles, Lord of Material Work (and it's inverted) and The Star, Daughter of Firmament. This tell me that you've had a lot of opportunities lately, but you kinda passed them up thinking that they weren't what you were really looking for, or that you didn't have the ability or the resources to seize these opportunities, and this ties in with cards 1 and 2 where I mentioned a lack of self-confidence. Whatever these opportunities are, they seem to be what you're looking for in terms of increasing your overall enjoyment in life, you just don't realize it yet, nor do you realize what you're capable of, or who around you is willing to help you. This is why moving forward and taking these opportunities is key. The inverted Three of Pentacles also tells me that you might be procrastinating or being lazy. When you think enjoyment, you tend to think leisure, and you don't want to put a strain on yourself that might decrease your enjoyment in life. The reality is just the opposite. The happiness you seek lies in a lot of hard work. You need to work on improving your skills set, working harder, motivating yourself, and getting a plan. You'll be happier with yourself when you don't settle for mediocrity and the hard work will be well worth the rewards. So far I have a feeling that this might have something to do with your college life, perhaps? Your fourth and fifth card are an inverted Eight of Cups, Lord of Abandoned Success and an inverted Ace of Wands, Lord of the Root of the Power of Fire. The Lord of Abandoned Success represents your past, or a part of your life that is phasing out or needs to be phased out, which is consistent with the fact that your first card was the Lord of Success Unfulfilled. This card tells me that you might have done too much partying in college or something like that, and as a result you didn't reach the full achievement you were hoping for, and now you're wondering where to go from here. So this card is telling me that it might be time to phase out the parties, and phase in taking the actions I've talked about. This is consistent with the Ace of Wands, which represents taking action and moving forward with strength, rush, and vigor, but since it's inverted it's telling me that your future is on thin ice. The upside-down Ace of Wands means that you don't have the full motivation and energy yet to fulfill what you need to do, but that's why the other cards kept telling you to work on that. These opportunities are very close to passing you by, so you need to act fast.

Your seventh card is Justice, Daughter of the Lord of Truth, inverted. This tells me that right now you're having a lot of trouble trusting people in your life. You feel like they're pushing you in a direction you don't want to go in, but they're really just trying to tell you the same thing I'm trying to tell you. These people can help you in a lot of ways you're not expecting if you're willing to take their advice. Your eight card is the Five of Swords, Lord of Defeat, and it represents the environment you're in right now, or the immediate influences around you. This card has a lot of meaning so I'm not sure where to start. It ties in with your 1st and 4th card, relating to success. It tells me that your recent failures have put you in a hostile environment where others don't seem happy with you, to the point that they seem like they're just trying to be cruel and make you feel bad. They really just want to help, but you're frustrating them. There's no excuse for the way they've treated you, but you need to forgive them and take their advice, and see what they can do to help you move forward. Your ninth card of the Six of Wands, Lord of Victory, and it represents your inner emotions. This card tells me that you're feeling much better about yourself, despite what others think, and you feel like you've succeeded. This can be seen as good or bad. Good because it shows that you're starting to gain the self-confidence you need to move forward, but bad because this card can also mean "insolence and pride of riches" which could mean that you feel like you've succeeded enough, regardless of what others say, and you're ready to take a break and enjoy what you've earned, but at the same time you feel like something is missing, which is why you asked the question in the first place, and the answer is that you haven't done enough work yet. You need to keep moving. Your tenth card is the Eight of Pentacles, Lord of Prudence, which flows together well with the rest of the cards. It's saying that to achieve your goals, you need to be more prudent. Don't get too excited about the money you have now and start planning on how to make more money in the future, and work on improving your education and skills to do so. Be industrious, and you'll be much happier in life because you'll be proud of what you can achieve and you'll get much more enjoyment out of the fruits of your labor.

Your first two cards, inverted Four of Swords (Lord of Rest From Strife) and Nine of Wands (Lord of Great Strength) basically tell me that you're too strong for your own good, or at least you think you're stronger than you are. Right now you need to take a break, you're wearing yourself too thin and you don't even fully realize it, because all you can think about is constantly launching yourself forward. The strength and ambition is great, but if you don't go a little easier on yourself and relax it's going to lead to a disaster, like a nervous breakdown or a car accident caused by sleep deprivation or something like that. Take a vacation. Your third and fifth card are the Five of Swords, Lord of Defeat, and Justice, Daughter of the Lord of Truth. Justice tells me that right now you feel strong and confident, and everything feels like it's well-balanced and fair, but as the last two cards suggested, that might not be the case. The Lord of Defeat reiterates the point that you're on a collision course with disaster if you don't slow down, take a break, and try to put things in perspective. Put on a brakes, and change course if you have to. Your fourth and sixth card are an inverted Seven of Cups, Lord of Illusionary Success, and an inverted Princess of Swords, Princess of the Rushing Winds. The Seven of Cups tells that your strong lust and vanity might be what keeps driving you forward at your current unnatural pace, but I think you're chasing after something that isn't really there. You need to let go of some of that love and vanity in order to calm yourself down and relax. Princess of Swords tell me that in the future you need to not place such a high value on material things. This ties in with letting go of some of your vanity and lust for wealth. You're going to make yourself sick. You need to be more carefree.

Your seventh card is the Three of Swords, Lord of Sorrow. This tells me that the signs of wearing thin are starting to show through. It's beginning to affect your personal relationships and make you irritable, and selfish. You're telling yourself that it's fine and that it's just everyone else, but it's going to cause a lot of loneliness if you don't get it under control, if it hasn't already caused loneliness. I see a possible break up that's maybe causing you to be too hard on yourself? Your eighth card is The High Priestess, inverted, The Priestess of the Silver Star. This tells me that right now you're in an environment that's causing ignorance, short-sightedness, and lack of understanding. So there's probably a lot of pressure on your right now to just work work work work work, and you're going along with it, not realizing the damage that it's causing in the long term. Continuing at your current level of effort is unstable, which is why your ninth card is the Seven of Swords, Lord of Unstable Effort. This means that you love the abundance that the extra work is giving you, and you're motivated by all the compliments and praise you get for being such a hard worker, but that's what's causing the short-sightedness. Eventually you're gonna crash and it might cost you your entire job in the long run, so it's best to work at a pace that they expect you to work at in the long term. If you work too hard, they'll start to expect too much of you and be disappointed when you crash. Pace yourself. Your tenth card is an inverted Queen of Pentacles, Queen of the Thrones of Earth. This card is telling me that your prosperity is false, and your pace unstable. You need to take a break and work at a pace that will allow you to deliver consistent results in the long term, and also have enough time and energy left to maintain your relationships outside of work. This will lead to much more wealth and prosperity in the long run.

Woah. That's pretty damn impressive. Apart from the "partied too much at college" part, everything else was very accurate. It sucks hearing what you've known all along, but still not having the motivation to do anything about it. I still can't believe you grasp my situation so well. I fear you are right about opportunities soon passing me by, too. :(

Hmm, I seem to be hit or miss, but I am just getting started. Even I'm impressed with how accurate my "hits" are, though. It's encouraging.

Homestar, as far as getting motivated and opportunities soon passing you by, the reading in meant to put everything in front of you to help you get on the right track. If you agree with everything that's said there, and you still can't discipline yourself to do the right thing, you might want to consider therapy. I was in a similar situation, which might explain why I was able to grasp your reading so well, and seeing a behavioral therapist/psychiatrist really got me on the right track. If I hadn't waited as long as I did to get professional help, my GPA would be way higher than it is now. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Your cards have me very confused, so I'm just going to try to explain this like a story, rather than try to explain each card. I had to read it backwards and forwards a few times for it to make sense.

Anyway, the overall "warning" I get from this reading is that you're currently heading towards a huge debacle and self-destruction. Your life so far has been a huge rush, and everything has gone normally, but you've become a bit spoiled. Now you're encountering some obstacles, and you don't know how to handle them. You were recently given a huge new responsibility, and you don't know how to handle it. The way you've handled it so far has been mediocre at best, sloppy and low quality at worst. This hasn't stopped you, because you've never really failed at anything major before, and this is your first true challenge. You've been put in a position of power and control, and you feel that you have the courage and the strength to handle it, but you don't realize that you don't have the know-how. Recently, this has caused you to make a huge mistake. You didn't think much of it, but it caught the attention of someone else, and now they are eying you like a hawk, waiting for you to make another mistake. You trust this person. They've helped you out quite a lot in the past, and even helped you get to where they are now, but now they're growing jealous of your position, and they don't think you deserve it. They'll probably continue to act kind and generous towards you, but in reality they're beginning to depart from you, and might even have cruel intentions. If you screw up too much, they might use it against you. Here's what I think you need to do to set this right. Don't even think about sinking to this other person's level. If you get defensive, you're gonna make yourself look bad among your peers in the future. You need to do more than just not make any more mistakes. You need to use your originality, self-confidence, and skills to adapt to this job and attack it in a way no one else has before. You need to do it better than anyone else has, and not just prove that you're learning and doing OK. Don't give this friend/rival a chance to make you look bad. When people start to criticize you, it can make you feel insecure and even inept, but don't let this get to you. You need to prove to everyone that you can do this job better than anyone else, and show everyone that the naysayers are just jealous. That's how you're going to rise above it.

Your first card is an inverted Three of Cups, Lord of Abundance. Inverted, it represents overabundance or excessive pleasure. The kind that can usually put you at a loss in the long run, such as too much spending, drinking, partying, etc. Skipping ahead a bit, this is consistent with the fact that your seventh card, representing you, is the Knight of Cups, Lord of Waves and Waters, and this card usually represents someone who is very wild on the pleasure side of life. He can be graceful and poetic, but is also easily aroused, rambunctious, and can easily swing to the other side of the spectrum and be sluggish and slothful. I'm already seeing a theme in your cards that somewhat resembles the Seven Deadly Sins. Your second card is Justice, Daughter of the Lord of Truth. This card means that you will either seek balance and equity in your life, and put more effort and investment into things that matter in the long run, or you'll continue to be the partier or procrastinator or whatever it is you're doing. Your third and fifth card are an inverted Ace of Pentacles, and a Princess of Cups. The Princess of Cups tells me there was someone of lust in your recent past, and is probably still around. This person might have something to do with why you're partying all the time, or if not partying, just distracted from other things in general. This person is carefree and kind, and you don't see how they could possibly be doing you harm, but you're letting it get out of hand. What you need to do is focus on your work. You're misusing what money you have and you need to start looking towards the future. Focus on your career and work hard. Your fourth and sixth card are an inverted Six of Swords, Lord of Earned Success, and an inverted Seven of Pentacles, Lord of Success Unfulfilled. What these cards tell me is that throughout much of your past, you never really had to work very hard to earn your success. Now times are changing, and if you stay on your current path you're not going to end up as successful as you're used to being and you will be severely disappointed. You feel like your life is in a stalemate right now, so you're just sitting back and waiting for things to change, but they won't until you do something. Invest your time and money wisely.

Skipping seven since I mentioned it above. Your eighth card is the Six of Pentacles, Lord of Material Success. This card tells me that you're in an environment right now where you have some money to throw around, but you're too comfortable and it's not going to last. Your ninth card is The Devil, Lord of the Gates of Matter, and this card represents your deepest fears. Deep down you're worried that you're getting too attached to this laid back lifestyle, and you won't be able to move forward, or will spend your life chasing something you can't achieve. The solution is to start working harder now, and stop squandering what you have. Your tenth and final card is The Last Judgement, The Spirit of the Primal Fire. This card basically means that it's too late for you to fix everything. It's going to take a lot of determination learning to accept consequences for you to get back on track and rejuvenate your life.

I haven't timed myself, but I guess it depends, shuffling and placing the cards only takes a few minutes, but then I have stare at them for a while and get a feel for what they're trying to tell me, look up several meanings since I'm still new to it and learning, and then once I feel like I have the full picture in my head I have to type out my interpretations here and post it. Depending on how easily the cards make sense to me, it can anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour I guess. Faster if I'm doing it in person, and I'll get faster as I get better but it's not something I want to rush.

I'm seeing a lot of negative things here. Your first card is an inverted Two of Swords, Lord of Peace Restored, and when inverted it represents duplicity, falsehood, misrepresentation and disloyalty. This represents your current position. Skipping ahead to your seventh card, which represents you, it's The High Priestess, The Priestess of the Silver Star, inverted. This card inverted represents ignorance, short-sightedness, and lack of understanding. This card is also telling me that for you to move forward, you're going to have to change, get your head on your shoulders and use common sense. Also, the first card is telling me that you have a struggle of some kind ahead, but you're not willing to face it. Until you buckle down and get through it, you're not going anywhere. Your second card is the King of Swords, Prince of the Chariots of the Winds. This card is telling me that you have a lot of ideas and designs in your head, but you're being very cautious and suspicious. Cautious is good, but don't be overly cautious or suspicious of those around you. Don't hesitate to move forward with your ideas. It's going to take a lot of hard work and effort, but it will be worth it.

Your third and fifth card are an inverted Seven of Wands, Lord of Valor, and The Last Judgement, The Spirit of the Primal Fire. The inverted Seven of Wands tells me that something is opposing your efforts, and creating obstacles. This coupled with your hesitation to begin with is setting you up for failure. You might have minor victories in the future, but your ultimate goal need to be to overcome your hesitation and fight whatever is opposing you. The Last Judgement tells me that some sort of decision has already been made, but then you just stopped. Like you said you were gonna jump, you lunged forward, but stopped yourself at the last second because you were afraid. Time to try it again, I guess. Your fourth and sixth card are an inverted Four of Cups, Lord of Blended Pleasure, and an inverted Three of Pentacles, Lord of Material Work. You have a lot of inverted cards, and this tells me that right now you're not at your full potential. It means you're either depressed, or lazy and lacking energy, unmotivated, or just procrastinating. To get these inverted cards right-side up, and bring their better aspects into your life, you need to start doing. You're never going to reach your full potential by waiting around. The inverted Four of Cups tells me that the way you used to live is coming to an end, and you're going to have to accept more responsibility. This is kind of like the end of your childhood. You need to start approaching your problems in new ways and accept the new events in your life. The inverted Three of Pentacles tells me that you're being sloppy and low quality in your work. You'll continue to do this in the future unless you start putting more effort into your work.

Your eighth card is The Star, The Daughter of Firmament. This card is telling me that you have a lot of promising opportunities, and there are a lot of people willing to help you, but you're squandering the opportunities and pushing away those willing to help you. You're afraid to move forward, and so you're pushing away those who are trying to push you forward. Your ninth card is an inverted Five of Pentacles, Lord of Material Trouble. This card tells me that your worst fear is poverty and the hard work that comes with it. An understandable fear, but you're setting yourself up for it. It's going to take a lot of hard work to not be poor to begin with, and you're going to have to face that. Your tenth and final card is The Hanged Man, Spirit of the Mighty Waters. The card enforces the idea that you've got your work cut out for you. It's going to take a lot of hard work, and self-sacrifice for you to move forward in life.

Your first card is an inverted Five of Swords, Lord of Defeat, and your second card is The Wheel of Fortune, Lord of the Forces of Life. These cards tell me that an uncertain outlook will probably turn more favorable, and The Wheel of Fortune enforces this idea as it means good fortune, but it can also mean failure, bad luck, and broken sequence, depending on you look at the situation. Your third and fifth card are an inverted Two of Cups, Lord of Love, and the Three of Wands, Lord of Established Strength. The Three of Wands tells me that you just completed a big phase in your life, but it didn't turn out to be everything you'd hoped it would be. Now you're somewhat disappointed, but things are going to turn around. The Two of Cups means that you need to start looking at other aspects of your life to find happiness, particularly in the areas of love and friendship. Don't waste your time on people you suspect of wasting your time. Your fourth and sixth card are an inverted Queen of Swords and an inverted Ace of Cups. The inverted Queen of Cups tells me that in the past you put up with someone who was cruel, sly, deceitful, and narrow-minded. You let them take you for granted because you loved them and you didn't think it was that serious, but on an emotional level it was. Now you have new doors opening for you and a chance to move on, but be careful not to end up in a similar situation. If someone isn't showing you the affection you think you deserve, don't waste your time on them, and at the same time, be open to those who are willing to show you affection. Is their anyone who feels strongly towards you but you haven't given them much thought? Give them a chance.

Your seventh card, which represents you, is the Six of Cups, Lord of Pleasure. This means that you're relatively content with where you are, but you're also experiencing nostalgia and yearn for something else. Perhaps that's where all these love cards come into play. You're seeking someone to give you a love once felt. Your eighth card is your environment, and it's an inverted Nine of Cups, Lord of Material Happiness. This means that you're in an environment where you're starting to realize your mistakes and what you've lost, but that's OK because you have the power to correct it. Your ninth card is an inverted Four of Cups, Lord of Blended Pleasure. This card tells me that you're afraid of pleasure or happiness reaching its end. You're afraid of having to change and moving on to other possibilities, but you've gotta move on. Your tenth and final card is The Last Judgement, The Spirit of the Primal Fire. This card is supposed to summarize the overall reading, and it's telling me that you need to make a decision, move forward with your life, and accept the consequences. You need rejuvenation in your life, and if you just sulk around you're never gonna get it, and you'll just be disappointed. So pick yourself up and move on.

They're not BS, but they're not a good way to get introduced either. With tarot cards, you have to trust your instincts, so it's best if you just play around with them for a while first and get to know the cards before your technique gets tainted with someone else's ideas. Just buy a regular deck, whichever style looks and feels good to you, and pretty much all decks come with at least a little booklet giving you a brief introduction to how it works, what each card means, what each suit means, how to do a basic spread, etc. And then once you have at least a basic feel for it, and you know what works for you, then you might want to buy a book or two to get you introduced to some other people's ideas.

Not necessarily, because it's more of an art than a science. There is no one right way to do it, and if you think of it as a set procedure and just do what the book says, you're not going to get anywhere. You need to get a feel for the cards yourself before you start following the advice of others. The very basic booklet that should come with any pack of tarot cards is more than enough to get started, without information overload or so much that you might train yourself to do something that's not right for you.

Let me start at the end. Your tenth card is an inverted Blasted Tower, Lord of the Hosts of the Mighty. This card tells me that there's a part of your life that needs to come crashing down, but you don't have the courage to change. By following old ways, you're continuing to trap and oppress yourself in your own depression. Now, back to the beginning. Your first and second card are The Hanged Man, Spirit of the Mighty Waters, and the Knight of Pentacles, Lord of the Wild and Fertile Land. The Hanged Man represents self-sacrifice, loss, and punishment. This is consistent with the fact that you claim to be depressed and consistent with what I said about your tenth card. The Knight of Pentacles tells me that you think you're being patient and clever by waiting things out and not changing, but it's really just making you cowardly, stagnant, and dull. I also detect jealousy. Does this have something to do with a girl leaving you for someone else and you can't get over it? Your third and fifth card are an inverted Seven of Cups, Lord of Illusionary Success, and The High Priestess, inverted, The Priestess of the Silver Star. The inverted High Priestess tells me that what ever event in your recent past triggered this depression, the breakup or whatever, it was triggered by short-sightedness and a lack of understanding. You don't understand what caused you to be in the situation you're in now, and so you're getting hung up over it and can't get over it, and that's what's got you stuck in your depression. The Seven of Cups tells me that your ultimate goal is to get things back to how they used to be, but that's not going to solve the problem. Your first and tenth card are both telling me that you need to change and not go back to that stage in your life if you want things to get better. I foresee wishful thinking, lying to yourself, illusionary success, broken promises and deception in love and friendship. I'm still sensing a sort-of break up theme here. Whatever is going on, you need to give up on this person and phase them out of your life because they've deceived you and they're not going to change. You need to tell yourself that you can do better, and you need to make yourself better, and go after better, and get better. The more you slunk around feeling depressed for yourself, the worse it's going to get. You're just going to hurt your own self-esteem and make it worse. You should get some exercise, get in shape, improve your appearance, buy some new clothes, that sort of stuff, and all these things will help you feel better about yourself and not feel depressed. Especially the exercise. Your fourth and sixth card are the Five of Pentacles, Lord of Material Trouble, and The Empress, inverted, Daughter of the Mighty Ones. The Five of Pentacles tells me that you've worked pretty hard your whole life to build up your knowledge and wealth, and now, because of your depression, you feel like it's not paying off. You recently lost a lot of money, or lost a chance to make a lot of money, and now you feel downtrodden. Well, The Empress tells me that you have a lot of opportunities ahead, but you don't see them because you're too busy sulking to get motivated and concentrate on these opportunities. If you pass up good opportunities just because you're depressed, you're going to get more depressed. You need to grab these opportunities by the horns, and when you do you'll feel better about for at least trying.

Your seventh card is The Hierophant, Magus of the Eternal Gods. This card represents you, and it means that you need to stand up for yourself and show everyone around you that you're valuable and demand their respect. This ties into what I said earlier about getting in shape and reaching your full potential. You improve yourself, you feel better about yourself, others see your potential and self-worth and learn to appreciate you more, and this in turn makes you feel even better about yourself. So you learn to be self-sustaining and not have to rely on those who have emotionally abused you. Instead, you find better people who deserve you, and you shove it in the face of anyone who mistreated you. Your eighth card represents your environment, and it's the Princess of Wands, Princess of the Shining Flame. This card tells me that you're in an enthusiastic environment, with a strong desire for power and revenge. You just need to pull yourself out of the depression and use it to your advantage. Like I said with the last card, improve yourself, get powerful, get new friends, make yourself a better and stronger person, then go ahead and get revenge. Rub it in the face of the people who thought they could shit all over you. I'm not saying this because you need to be mean. I'm saying it because you'll feel much better about yourself after you've confronted them and stood up for yourself. Your ninth card is the Seven of Wands, inverted, Lord of Valour. This card tells me that you already know most of what I said to be true, but you're still not sure how to do it. Your worst fear is failing again, not being able to meet your own expectations, and not being able to overcome your obstacles to getting over your depression. I'm not sure what to tell you, other than I hope this helps you put everything in perspective and get over this fear. Because you're the only one standing in your way. And then with the tenth card we've come full circle. Remember what I said at the beginning: you have to be willing to change and phase out that old part of your life.

Your first and second card are The High Priestess, The Priestess of the Silver Star, and the Five of Swords, Lord of Defeat. So there are a lot of changes going on in your life, all good ones based on sound judgement and common sense, but you feel like something is missing in your life, which is why you asked the love question. With all these changes going on, your life is moving fast, and you feel like you need to find love before it's too late. One thing to keep in mind is that you're making a lot of logical decisions with your mind and not doing any thinking with your heart. You get what you put in. The Five of Swords tells me that you just finished a huge phase in your life, such as graduating or a new job or something to that degree, but it feels anti-climatic to you, again because of that feeling that something is missing. It's not enough to make you happy, because what you really want is a strong and loving relationship to make you happy. The problem is, you're somewhat cold and bitter. Seeing other couples and other happy people brings out feelings of jealousy and resent. It's going to be difficult to start a healthy relationship if that's how you feel when you see happy people together. You're either going to end up way too emotionally detached to anyone you hook up with, or way too clingy. Plus it hurts your chances of even hooking up, because if you feel this way in social environments, people can read it in your body language. So, in order to find love, the first thing you need to do is change your attitude towards love. Your third and fifth card are The Wheel of Fortune, Lord of the Forces of Life, and the Seven of Wands, Lord of Valour. The Seven of Wands reinforces what I said about a recent success, and moving on to a new phase in your life. You've overcome in that area of your life, and now it's time to look towards other areas of your life and use the new stability in your life to your advantage. The Wheel of Fortune simply means that there are good things in your future either way, but what sort of good things will be determined by you and how you handle yourself. Your fourth and sixth card are Fortitude, inverted, Daughter of the Flaming Sword, and The Hanged Man, inverted, Spirit of the Mighty Waters. The inverted Fortitude tells me that you need to phase your pettiness and weakness out of your life. This ties back into what I said about changing your attitude and being improving yourself to be more confident in yourself. The inverted Hanged Man tells me that in the future, if you fail in a relationship it will be because of your failure to be emotionally open in the relationship. You got burned in the past, and because of your fear of getting burned again, you're not willing to give yourself fully in the relationship, but you have to, or it will fail. This ties back in with the whole attitude change. Also, you need to be willing to compromise in the relationship. A loving relationship takes hard work and self-sacrifice from both sides.

Your seventh card is an inverted Ten of Cups, Lord of Perfected Success. This card tells me that right now you think you're doing the right things to find love, but all you're really looking for is pity and sex. If you really want to find love, you need to stop wasting your time on women who are clearly only interested in sex and not a long-term loving relationship. Your eighth card is an inverted King of Wands, Prince of the Chariot of Fire, and this card tells me that you are in an environment that is cruel and ill-natured. These two cards together tell me that you're clearly looking for love in all the wrong places. Stop hanging out at bars, clubs, and crazy parties, and go hang out at places that actually interest you and try to meet people there. Your ninth card is The Emperor, Son of Morning, and this card tells me that you have a lot of ambition, but it's misplaced. I hope this reading helps you set that ambition in the right direction. Your tenth card is the Three of Pentacles, Lord of Material Work, and this card means that you've got a lot of work ahead of you in every aspect of your life. Keeping up with your career and financial life, setting and meeting your goals for self-improvement, enhancing and extending your social life so that you might meet someone nice, and building and maintaining a relationship, are all going to take a lot of work and effort, but that's life, and it will be worth it.

Unintentional Jackass

Well you can't expect people to like you if you don't even like yourself. Apparently, you just need to be less of a jackass and treat others with respect. If you respect them, they respect you back, and then you'll respect yourself more. I'm going to start with your 7th card, which is The Empress, inverted, Daughter of the Mighty Ones, and this card represents you. This card tells me that you have a lack of interest in other people. Maybe you should start caring if you're concerned that people hate you. Maybe you wouldn't hate people as much if you got to know them. Your 8th card is the Eight of Swords, Lord of Shortened Force, and it represents your environment. This card tells me that there's a lack of affection in your environment, from the giving and receiving end. People are petty and it causes you to be petty. Your 9th card is an inverted Seven of Pentacles, Lord of Success Unfulfilled. This tells me that you have anxiety problems. Your anxiety problems cause you to be impulsive and impatient, which affects your dealings with other people. Be more careful about your actions and how they affect other people. Once you improve your relationships with others, it should help your anxiety problem. You also may want to see a therapist about your anxiety problems. Your 10th card is an inverted Ten of Swords, Lord of Ruin. This card tells me that you are clever and eloquent, and you're already starting to improve your situation and turn things around. You're improving yourself and improving your situation.

Your 1st and 2nd card are an inverted Ace of Wands, and an Ace of Cups. This card tells me that something is vexing you, such as a false start or cancellation. Pair that with the Ace of Cups, which can mean unrequited love, and I get the sense that you put a lot of effort into someone and got nothing in return. Now it's making you question how you handle your relationships with people. Your 3rd and 5th card are the Six of Swords, Lord of Earned Success, and the Six of Wands, Lord of Victory. This represents success, particularly after anxiety or trouble, which is clearly what you're experiencing. I also see that you've had a success in your recent past that has set you on the right track. Your 4th and 6th cards are an inverted Princess of Wands, and an inverted Two of Cups. The Princess of Wands is revealing, because it tells me that their was someone in your past whom you depended on for a long time, but this person was undependable and unstable. Not only that, but they could be superficial and cruel at times, taking advantage of the fact that your relied on them so heavily. Sounds like you got burned and that's part of the reason why you have trouble trusting people, which in turn turns to hating people, which in turn turns to hating yourself. It was a learning experience though, as long as you'll take it as a learning experience and learn to not waste your time on those sorts of people, and phase those sorts of people out of your life. If you don't take it as a learning experience and shove everyone out, well then that's not going to get you anywhere.

@52,092 (The Owl !yshAAUvyds)
The Owl

Since I'm learning, and I'm noticing a pattern in the readings where I've been told I was way off, I need you to do me a favor. I did two readings for you, and I want you to tell me which reading is more accurate, so that I can figure out which technique works best.

Reading 1:
Your first and second card are an inverted Five of Cups and a Five of Swords. The fact that both these cards are fives tells me that you're trying to overcome a lot of obstacles right now. Despite some bad luck lately, you've stayed kind and open and as a result have made some new friends who have really helped you out. Your frustrated right now because your future seems uncertain. You just finished college or some sort of training, and you're not happy with that fact that it's not taking you anywhere. You put forth all this effort thinking that it would immediately put you ahead of everyone else, but now, because of the economy, you find yourself in the lap of poverty despite your skills. I think you'll be able to turn things around though. The situation you're in now is testing your weakness, so hang in there. Your third and fifth cards are an inverted Ten of Cups and an inverted Princess of Cups. I think the Ten of Cups is trying to warn you that if you don't hang in there, you're going to end up wasting your life. The Princess of Cups tells me that you're easily given to compliments and that someone recently came into your life who is a flatterer. This person has selfish intents, however, so be careful. Your fourth and sixth card are an inverted Nine of Pentacles and a Seven of Swords. The inverted Nine of Pentacles tells me that you used to have a lifestyle that made you unhappy, but you're phasing out of that part of your life. The Seven of Swords tells me that in your future, you're at risk of giving up just as soon as success is within your grasp, so once again, hang in there. It also tells me that you're fascinated by display, have a love of abundance, and are given to compliments, so I have a feeling that if you're not careful around whoever this Princess of Cups character is, they might pull you down. Your seventh card is the Princess of Wands, which tells me that right now you have a strong enthusiasm and a strong desire for power. Your eighth card, an inverted King of Pentacles, tells me that right now you're in an environment full of greedy, stupid people. Be careful around them. Your ninth card, The Devil, tells me that your worst fear is to be stuck in poverty your whole life and constantly toiling to make ends meet. You want to be comfortable in life and have freedom. Your tenth card is a Princess of Swords, and it tells me that you have good insight and vigilance and as long as you don't give into the temptation of material things, you should be able to pull through. It's only if you chase after money, sex, and material things that you'll waste your life and find yourself in poverty, but if you don't chase those material things, you will actually end up more successful materially. Sort of a paradox, but it makes sense when you think about it.

Reading 2:
Your cards are the same as above, but reversed. Because your first card turned up inverted, I decided to flip it right-side up, along with all the other inverted cards, while inverting all the ones that were already right-side up. So, your first two card tell me that a stage in your life is coming to an end and it has left you very sad and disappointed. I'm guessing you just graduated college and you feel deceived, because you were told all your hard work would pay off, but it's not because the economy is shit. You're disappointed with the outcome so far, you feel like you're failing at life, and trying to find a job is causing you much anxiety. You're worried very strongly about living in poverty. Right now you're working a job that's barely over minimum wage, and it involves a lot of hard labor, and it's pissing you off that you can't find something better. Furthermore, the job is thankless, with an unreliable schedule, and working in retail everyday has left a bitter taste in your mouth as you see rich and successful people buying things everyday that you wish you could afford. It's not fair for you to have to live like this with the skills that you have, while people not nearly as skilled or educated as you are can get by just fine. Your third and fifth cards tell me that in the past, you enjoyed the laid back aspects of your life, and the fact that you had more time to sit back and reflect on things without constant anxiety. Right now, your goal is to get that back, but you understand that it's not going to come easily or quickly. No one can go back to their childhood, but you want to be successful and make your life as comfortable as possible. You want a comfortable home, and a lasting satisfaction that comes from more than just high pay. You want a comfortable job that you enjoy doing, success in all aspects of your life, and the sort of joy that comes from something like starting a family. Your fourth and sixth cards tell me that you realized this a long time ago, but you're upset with how badly your plan is going. It's frustrating to start at the bottom, especially when you're fresh out of college, but everyone has to start at the bottom, and when the economy turns around you'll find yourself in a much better position. Just keep looking for opportunities and don't give up. Be careful not to burn bridges. The card are telling me that in the future you might snap, and make a lot of arrogant decisions at your current job. You've gotta suck it up, because you might end up destroying the opportunity you're looking for. Stand up for yourself and don't be a pushover, but don't get aggressive or argumentative with your superiors. Your seventh card tells me that you feel like you're being superficial and theatrical. You're getting worn out from having to pretend to be nice to everyone and you're feeling unstable. You need to hang in there though, because your eighth card tells me that the people above you notice that you are a smart, practical, and steady worker, and if you snap, it's going to shatter all the good-will you've generated from your hard work. Your ninth card tells me that your worst fear is being stuck at that job forever, or not having any job at all. Just hang in there. You're going to get a much better position soon. Your final card tells me that you're going to have to be cunning to make everything work out how you want it to. This ties back into what I said earlier about how you're going to have to stand up for yourself and make things happen, but you can't do it in a way that makes you seem angry or stressed. You can't snap on people, but you do need to confront them.

Reading one is very accurate (a few very minor errors. For example, although I am close to finihsing college, I have not yet finished.), but I'm not sure I'm happy with what they've told me. I can't tell if the 'giving up just as soon as success is within my grasp' is my planned move to Amsterdam and the flying pig or the fact that I was convinced today to carry on applying for a (useless imo) university subject.

Reading two is less accurate. Everyone ignores my job applications, so I don't have one.

Yes, actually. I would simply treat it as if the other person is asking the question. The only thing you have to be careful of is that the question is focused on them. It has to sound like a question they would ask. If it's someone you're emotionally attached to, and the question involves you somehow, then it might just be better to do a reading for yourself. For example, a good question for an "other reading" would be something like "What could Susy do to improve her relationship with her mother?" However, if you asked a question like "Will Susy and I ever get back together?" it would be best to just do a reading for yourself and ask a question that focuses on you, like "What should I do about my relationship with Susy?" In other words, if in doubt, refocus the question on yourself, and only do an "other" reading if you're sure the question is 100% focused on the other person.

There are also card setups specifically designed to read into a relationship between two people, but I don't know how to do those yet.

You asked how to get your life sorted out relationship-wise, and your first and second cards are the Five of Cups and the Seven of Cups, Lord of Loss in Pleasure, and Lord of Illusionary Success. This basically tells me that you just had a bad break up, and you feel terribly disappointed and deceived. You feel like you poured a lot of work into this relationship, and could have seen it easily lead to a higher level, and then it was all taken away. The Seven of Cups specifically means "deception at the moment of apparent victory." So, you can see how this relates. It also means deception in love and friendship. Seems like the perfect card to describe your present situation. It can also mean, desire, lust, vanity, and wrath. It can also mean wishful thinking. By "sort your life out, relationship-wise", I think what you really meant, but didn't want to come out and say it, was "What do I need to do to get back with this guy/girl, and should I even get back with him/her." The answer is no. He/She deceived you, is not trustworthy, and not worth it. The only reason you want to get back is because of the lust and wishful thinking. The Five of Cups also tells me that there is someone else in your life, but you're ignoring the other love interest because you're so certain that you're gonna get back with the first person. Bad move. Let the other person go and stop neglecting the person who's actually showing you the time of day and not playing games with your head. Your third and fifth card are the Knight of Cups, and an inverted Two of Pentacles. This tells me that lately you've been inflexible. That's consistent with what I just told you, when it comes to refusing to give up and giving the other person a chance. The Knight of Cups tells me that this other person is wild, graceful, and easily aroused. Normally this would be a bad thing, but this is just the sort of person you need right now. A poetic and kind person who will truly appreciate everything about you. You just have to give them a chance. Your fourth and sixth card are Temperance and the Nine of Cups. This means that in the past you realized what you wanted out of a relationship, but now that you've had this breakup, you no longer feel so certain if what you thought you wanted is really what you want. That's why you asked this question in the first place. The Nine of Cups means complete realization of pleasure and happiness, so this means that you're in a time of questioning, but in the future you're going to get back your resolve and be happier than you were before.

Your seventh card is the Knight Pentacles, which tells me that right now you're lacking the courage to move on. You think you're being patient and clever, but you're just having a hard time accepting what's going on. Your eighth card, Seven of Swords, describes an environment where you yield just as victory is within grasp. You're giving up, when you should be trying something new. Your ninth card, Ace of Cups, means that your ultimate wish is to just have a loving and happy relationship. Your tenth card, Six of Cups, means that you'll soon be content, not all the way there, but content, and your relationship will start to build and steadily increase. It takes time, and you know this, you're just starting to doubt it because you had so much work shattered in the past one, but you'll get over it and start building a new one.

Sorry read it last night but I was too drunk to understand it. =]
Wow Broseph deep, I'd say your almost spot on with what your saying bar a few hit a misses.
I haven't been in any sort of relationship but I have been after a guy for the past year now. I did invest a lot of time and effort into him trying to notice me. Most of the time it paid off and I thought I was very (very!) close to making it work but it never happened. Mean, desire, lust, vanity, and wrath could relate back to me as a person, 5 words that pretty much sum me up. The wishful thinking is very true, as the whole problem with our relationship was the fact that I'm gay and I think this man is a closet bisexual.

This other person that you mentioned makes sense but confuses me as well as I think you are referring to my best friend. I have grown feelings for him but I could easily fuck up the whole friendship with one bad move.

The rest of the cards and meanings you mentioned seem to be very accurate.

Thanks again for the reading! =]

Mother tried to keep me from this. "You will not read about that warlock, Harry Porter, devil BEGONE!" she told me the other day at borders. The joke was on her though. I had already made my union with Satan in the bathroom; he took the form of an older man and fondled me as I used the urinal.

I could have this all backwards, so if I do, let me know and I'll try again, but I'm gonna go with my gut instinct the first time around. So, your first and second cards are and inverted Knight of Wands, and a Three of Wands. The Knight of Wands tells me that right now you're evil minded and have cruel intentions, but I sense that you don't quite realize what's ahead of you yet. The Three of Wands is an indication that you've just established yourself somehow, and it's a huge success for you, but you struggled to get there. I sense it's some kind of new job, but you may not have used the most honest tactics to land the position. In an attempt to get your foot in the door, you may have warped some truths to make yourself seem more employable. Your third and fifth cards are an inverted Wheel of Fortune, and an inverted Hanged Man. This tells me that your recent past lacks self-sacrifice, and that you took shortcuts, and as a result it's going to delay progress in the future. Tying that back in with the first two cards, I would say that your dishonesty is going to cost you. The Wheel of Fortune means bad luck and that things will start to go in the opposite direction for you, but you need to let this happen and take responsibility. Your fourth and sixth cards are an inverted King of Cups and an inverted Nine of Wands. King of Cups tells me that in the past you've been shifty in your dealings, you've had a temperament, and you've been merciless. It even goes so far as to say evil, but I hope it's not that bad, despite that all these inverted cards are looking that way. Anyway, you're trying to phase that side of you out of your life, but you're not doing as well as you've thought or hoped. The Nine of Wands means that there's a disaster in your near future. I also see the word delay, which ties back into the Hanged Man telling me that you're lacking self-sacrifice which causes delay in your life, the King of Cups telling me that you haven't moved on as well as you've hoped, etc. Basically it's saying that if you don't set things right yourself, it's going to end in a calamity, and it might be too late. Your seventh card, inverted Two of Cups, tells me that your subtlety was an unwise choice of action and will lead to separation. The eighth card, Princess of Wands, is an indication that the people around you who you tricked are going to try to take revenge, and the ninth card, an inverted Ten of Wands, is an indication of fear of great evil, fear of facing the evil within yourself and fear of facing the evil in the world around you. Your tenth card, King of Wands, is a symbol for justice; swift, strong, and sometime violent. It tells me that the overall meaning of this reading is retribution. From where and towards who, I can't say for sure. I suppose it will depend on your actions.

It's not my opinion, just the way the cards landed. I warned at the beginning that I may have been completely backwards, because you had so many inverted cards, but last time I tried fixing that, I was less accurate.

So, don't tell me anything, and I'll try reinterpreting the cards tonight.

@previous (jump !VIfloDyEYo)
It could be that you don't believe. If you don't have a sincere interest in your reading, then it's probably not going to work, as you are the one projecting onto the card. Anyway, some people don't use inverted cards at all and turn them all upright, but sometimes, if you flip them right-side up and the image is upside-down (as in, the card is facing up but turned the wrong way around) that means it's inverted. When a card is inverted, it can have the opposite meaning of what it would normally mean, or it could mean the same thing but with lower energy.

For example, your first card last time was an inverted Knight of Wands, but this time it will just be a Knight of Wands. Normally, the Knight of Wands represents generosity, impulsiveness, departure, and activity. Inverted, it represents evil, cruelty, bigotry, brutality, and discord. Last time all but 2 of your cards were inverted. This can be taken as a sign that all the inverted cards should be upright, and the 2 upright cards should be inverted, but I decided to try and play them how they landed first. This didn't turn out well. So, I set up the same cards again, but the other way around, and I'm going to give your reading another go.

Your first and second cards are the Knight of Wands and a Three of Wands. Together these cards mean that you've had a realization of hope. You've established yourself in a way that allows you to tell yourself "I've done; I've made it." But as a "Knight", you might take this success a little too seriously and be too quick to move on to bigger tasks that you might not be ready for yet. Your heart is in the right place, but you're already ready to depart from what you've just done, and you're being a bit too impulsive. Pull the reigns a little bit. Your third and fifth cards are the Wheel of Fortune and The Hanged Man. These two cards combined mean that it took a great deal of sacrifice and self-discipline to get to whatever it is you've just accomplished, and it the future, all this hard work is going to turn around and lead to good fortune. That is of course, if you stick with it, and don't get too ambitious. Your fourth and sixth card are the King of Cups and the Nine of Wands. These cards tell me that in the past, you were crafty, subtle, and fierce with a calm exterior, but that you've phased out those dark parts of your life. That was part of what got you to where you are today. Now, you're phasing in a part of your life where you're recovering from the tremendous effort you've put forth, and now you feel like you can accomplish anything. This is probably why you're feeling so ambitious right now. Your seventh card I want you to pay damn good attention to, because as I was doing this reading, flame from my candle leaped out and caught the card on fire, but the card did not burn. I don't know what the fuck that means, but if that's not a sign, I don't know what the fuck is, and it scared the shit out of me. It's the Two of Cups, and it's supposed to represent you. Two of Cups is the Lord of Love. It represents harmony, love, pleasure, mirth, friendship, and passion. I think this means that there's a lot of compassion in you, but you've been afraid to give it, especially with all this focus on other goals. I think it's time you opened yourself up to other people. Remember, this card fucking caught on fire; had flames spouting off of it, so it's saying something important here. Your eighth card is an inverted Princess of Wands. This card is trying to tell you that while the people in your environment may seem cruel, it's all just gossip. It's a bunch of theatrical and superficial bullshit and those people are fake. Good people know what you're really capable of. Your ninth card is a Ten of Wands. The ninth card represents your deepest emotions and fears, and the Ten of Wands represents cruel and overbearing force, excessive pressure, and selfish and material ends. I think this means that you're afraid of your own selfishness. You fight off this cruel and overbearing forces within you, compensating with generosity, but the excessive pressure is taking an emotional toll on you. Your tenth card is an inverted King of Wands, which I find odd, because it's the one card that seems to be out of place. Inverted, it means intolerant, prejudiced, cruel, ill-natured, and austere. I guess what it means is that all throughout your life, you're going to encounter people who have these qualities, who think that they're self-righteous and just, but you're just going to have to learn to rise above it, keep yourself in check, and not rise to their level. All your recent accomplishments are a reminder of that.

OK, sorry about the fucked up first reading. Does this one make you a believer?
