Cards + positions:
Situation: 2W - at a standstill, generally stable. For a relationship, then that means the relationship has reached a certain degree of maturity.
Obstacle: QnC (R) – QnC is the most passionate and loving person, but if (R) then she must be feared. She will use every tool in her scheming head to twist your heart and destroy your life.
Best that can be achieved: 4P (R) – no way to maintain stability, and therefore must break out of the mold and seeming stability.
Past: Death (R) - Fear of change, refusal to change
Present: Strength (R) – lack of internal strength to move on
Future: QnS (R) – the QnS is always a intelligent and fair person, but already has the tendency of being rather demanding on herself, when reversed, she is downright harmful to herself and possibly people around her.
True Self: 6C – unable to let go of the past, nostalgia, holding on to past kindness from other people (in this case, the man ).
Environment: High Priestess – a guiding factor, someone (probably female) who holds the key to the heart. In this case I wondered if that represented myself… but that is unclear.
Hopes/fears: Wheel – hoping for a twist of fate to help one out of a situation, except the wheel is fickle, and life can as easily take a turn for the worse as for the better.
Overall: 3W – Take your eyes forward to afar. There is much else in the world. The card also has a sense of entrepreneurship, which could mean that she should concentrate on career/business for now.
Ruling/Influence agent: Emperor - a man with a VERY strong personal and a control freak. The Emperor can be a sweet and comforting figure with his status and maturity, but on the other hand, can easily become a stubborn dictator who is not open to any reasoning except for his own.

Suggestion: SunA friend of mine recently was “promoted” to a new position at work but is afraid that she is not up to the task. She is freaking out (has been for about 3 wks) wanted to know if she would succeed. Generally I would say that relying on cards for something that can be achieved through one’s own hard work and persistence is silly (and told her that clearly), but since she had been asking for a while, I just did a reading for her.Past: Strength R – lack of internal strengthI can't believe I have a tag for Love. But it's definitely an interesting topic... that's why people can't help going back to it in conversations, books, movies, everything. Duh.
Before I left NY, out of boredom I did a reading for myself with both my Osho Zen and Waite decks. The funny/interesting thing is, they both gave me similar answers.Waite: April - Three of Cups (R)/Six of Swords (R); May - Lovers (R)/Queen of Pentacles (R); June - Knight of Cups/Two of Cups
Yes, Apple's slowly becoming my designated Tarot card reading place. Monkey MM has gone through some pretty turbulent times in her life and is hoping to find some solace in a new relationship. I wish the world for her because she's such a lovely person. Below is the reading for her question.
問題:與“這個”男生有否機會在一起?(愛情維納斯)
你的想法:魔法師(逆)
他的想法:寶劍首牌
你的影響:寶劍皇后
他的影響:聖杯皇后
你們兩人的障礙:聖杯7(逆)
結果:金幣7(逆)
你以後對這事情的看法:權杖9
他以後對這事情的看法:權杖4(逆)建議牌:聖杯10這大概是我幫她所開的最好的一個陣吧?以前的牌陣說的事情都是負面的,而且都是叫她小心(而事實上也很多需要小心的事情),但這個,表面看上去還是沒什麽希望,但是原來機會已經存在了,就看你怎麽掌握。
For background see previous post. Poor Water Rat only had time to do one reading (though he was rather happy to find out I had my cards) even though he had a ton of questions he didn't get to ask.
He is also currently at crossroads (well that's when Tarot works the best anyway). There are many potential paths and projects ahead of him and he is not sure if he should concentrate on all or just one of them. Since we didn't have time to go through all the projects (had to do with the fact that Tea Spot apparently closes at 10!!!), I was only able to do a simple spread for him.Question: Should he concentrate on one project or all of them? (1 in 2)This past Monday I met up with two good friends and had dinner at Boqueria and then onward to Tea Spot around the NYU area to do some readings. It was actually an accident that I had my cards (and no I do not carry them with me everywhere), but they certainly came in useful.
Ms. F had two questions, for which I did two different spreads.[column width="45%" padding="5%" ]1) Should she stay in New York or move to San Francisco? (1 in 2)Current situation/state-of-mind: Six of PentaclesIt was GuyA's birthday and we had a (sort of) surprise dinner for him at a lovely Japanese restaurant, we ventured over to Apple (fail), then Cha-An (fail), and finally settled at Saints Alps. For those of you who are familiar with the area, the place is often filled with teenage youngsters drinking bubble tea. But no matter! Tarot does not wait for anyone! Rather... it seems people's curiosities really tend to overcome circumstances. So over a nice cup of Lichee Green Tea w/ 2 slices of Lemon and a cup of herbal jelly, I did a few readings for the crowd.
