Tarot

I recently had my tarot done. Not that I particularly believe in such things, but I had glanced at the sign advertising the readings each time I'd been out enjoying a coffee in LIttle Italy, and so decided, Why Not. It's cheaper than a session with a therapist!

I walked in and was asked to sit opposite a man who was probably in his early 30s. Tall, dark, handsome in a slighty effeminte way, with incredibly pale green eyes. Enigmatic but also slightly disturbing... something about him makes me think about the word 'clammy'.

I sat down and he asked me to pull 12 cards from the deck. It wasn't pure tarot, but a mix of egyptian cards and palmistry. He didn't ask me any questions, and we didn't speak. He simply sat there and wrote.

So... here's what he had to say:

Mother goddess instincts seem to be strong in you at the moment. Perhaps looking after the self, helping and healing self MIND [his capitalisation] body and soul. May also be focussing on food or nourishment ISSUES. The only draw back to this energy is that you may find it difficult to let go of past hurts and sadness, and being stubborn or stuck in your ways.

Hard working and very hands on about making money. Not afraid to put effort and energy into it. Also you may have inventive or creative ways of making money, i.e. out of your own creative ideas and talents.

House/home seems unsettled, vague, drifting and a bit wishy washy. May feel ungrounded and inbetween phases/places. A move seems to come up. Unsettling.

Work has a breaking free energy. May want to move on, break out. Be more independent and not putting up with people or thngs that limit or block. You must be careful of being rebellious or difficult in the process. Work seems scattered. Chaotic.

Love relationships have a slight sacrificed energy to it. Wounded. Perhaps feeling hurt. missing. longing. loss.

Spiritual growth is indicated, a lot of learning and being more intue with what you believe on a spiritual level, a soul level.

Writing idea/creativity is good. Talented.

A lot of clearing and cleansing of past. Letting go. Try not to block yourself by hanging on, especially to illusion or fantasy. You seem to be drifting backward and forward.

Travel and learning/study looks positive if done in a very independent and in charge way. You will not allow yourself to be controlled or dominated by others in this area.

Work direction very choppy, chaotic, unsettled, interesting, inventive, unpredictable. Free. Energy about it - it's not a time for feeling stable and settled. Ideas and opportunity for branching out.

Love Tarot

Card 1. Self = Queen of Rods
Card 2. World = successful, generally happy, coming full circle, completion
Card 3. Mother Goddess = Emperess (refers me back to the first paragraph of his reading)
Card 4. Male Partner = The Ex
Card 5. Transformation, letting go, clearing out, spring cleaning
Card 6. New beginnings, fresh start
Card 7. Devil = Stuck, blocked, fear.


How accurate was he? Well I'd say not bad at all. Yes my life is chaotic, and yes I have been hurt. Of course, there probably aren't many people out there that wouldn't qualify for that statement. Ultimately, it was just for a bit of fun and to put myself 'out there' a bit, open myself up for some ideas about me and my direction, from someone who doesn't have anything invested in me, in my friends or in my family.
