Time For A Tarot Reading!

 

I have always embraced the spiritual energy received from my mothers side of the family. Premonitions, an understanding of energy, even the occasional Serbian curse. I had a coworker and friend back in the 1980’s who was a Wiccan.  She would do a periodic tarot reading on me as I navigated forward through that tumultuous period in my life. I appreciated the readings and looked at them sort of like channel markers along the bay; as a guide while I wended my way onward. When I left that company, she gifted me a gorgeous deck of Hanson Roberts tarot cards, of which I taught myself to read. 


 

My friend and co-blogger, Debra Who Seeks, host of the “She Who Seeks” blog posted “Time For A Tarot Reading!” on this mornings blog, and that got me to thinking that it has been DECADES since I did a reading! So I pulled out the deck, cleared my head, ruminated on the cards, gave them a good shuffle and arranged them in the traditional "Ten card spread". This is what I came up with (It has been a LONG time since I did a reading, if there are card interpreters out there please feel free to comment, if you are just going to bust my balls, your comment won't see the light of day). 



Interesting, no Major Arcana cards; I will take that as a sign of things are on an even keel.  

Card 1 - Present position - Inverted Two if Pentacles – Actually, why yes, I am having fun at the moment.

Card 2 - Immediate obstacle – Ten of Swords – The uncertainty of this world we are living in.

Card 3 - What is my goal? - Ten of Pentacles – Ensuring my families safety.

Card 4 - What was my foundation, my influence? – Inverted Queen of Rods – Been burned a lot over the years, by people close to me. Deceit.

Card 5 - How has that influenced recent events? - King of Cups. I still keep an open mind, carefully take responsibility.

Card 6Future influence – Inverted Nine of Cups – Being retired and in this current world, I have been contemplating long term financial loss; possible instability. That’s weighing heavy on me.

Card 7My present attitude – King of Rods – Pragmatic, honest, conscientious.

Card 8My influence on those around me – Nine of Swords – Are my actions raising concern with those in my life? Am I making people miserable? I may need to refer to the Lewis Black Magic Eight Ball for that answer.

Card 9 What are my inner emotions? – Six of Rods – Positive. Upbeat. Good news.

Card 10The final result – Four of Rods – Peace. Stability. Stay the course. 

All in all, I honestly have to say – these are spot on! Thank you, Debra, for encouraging me to do a reading! 

Peace,

Rade

Thank you. After the interpretation, I felt like I've passed through several channel markers and am still on whatever and where ever this life course is taking me.
