Tarot Tuesday!

[open_space]

Here we go with another iteration of Tarot Tuesday. I didn’t quite manage to finish writing the essay on divination, and though that will be ready soon, we can go ahead and start calibrating the card-o-scope and check what the Astral Light is up to today, this week or the coming months. So if you have a question, bring it on.

---

I've been studying and practicing the Tarot for about 2 years now and having cast a few spreads for friends who found it helpful I thought I might make a deal with anyone that happens to read this.

Here is the deal, I will repost this on the last Tuesday of every month and will try to answer your query before the end of the month. Post a comment below requesting for a reading within the week of posting, depending on the number of comments and the situation I can either offer a lengthy reading or a three card reading. What I request back from you is some feedback about your situation and in case of some outcome what I got right and what I got wrong.

So, if you have a situation where you want to know what the Astral Light is up to, be it personal, general or on a broader scale, or want to know what the week or month ahead has in store for you, why then, you know what to do. I would encourage you to post it publicly below, as for others to get an idea of what I have to offer, to encourage discussion and what divination is about in general but if your situation is delicate post a comment marked NOT FOR POSTING explaining your situation and I'll consider it on a case by case basis.

That said, divination is like weather forecasting not a tablet of truth handed down from above, so take the advice I give you through the cards as such. Any unfortunate situation you get yourself into is entirely the responsibility of the querent!

Hi open_space,

Thanks so much for the reading! And don't be hard on yourself, you're doing me a service and life can be hectic hectic.

As for the spreads, that's very interesting. Not that you would have known, but I recently broke up with my long term girlfriend of several years due to ongoing problems and incompatibilities and moved to a new apartment. With that relationship no longer present, I've been struggling with the emotional fallout and trying to focus my efforts on finances, seeing friends again, physical fitness and spiritual practices.

Your explanations and the cards themselves do seem to point out me further pushing down that path, with the kind of challenges that would be expected with that. I appreciate your work, seems highly accurate to me!

Does that information seem to coincide with your thoughts or does that give you any different spin on your interpretations?

Thank you, Andrew. For your thoughtful reply and for your generous contribution! The more I know about the situation the more I can fine tune the meaning of the cards from a general trend to something more useful in your particular situation so this helps a great deal.

Yes, it does change things in the details but not in the general thrust of the reading. I will reply in more detail but for now I can tell that the first column looses a little bit of the fire in the king and the Seven of Pentancles now makes sense, instead of going in the opposite direction as I had mentioned.

It is not adventure that you are seeking either in the strict sense of that word, it is you just looking to expand your horizons now that you've had a strong change in your emotional life. You wanting to get to do things again or "resume" other aspects of your life is the Seven of Pentancles, Reversed but even though you want to do it, you don't "feel" it, perhaps it's a distraction.

The Tower, Reversed now makes more sense too. If I may give some advice, don't distract yourself from the swirl of emotions that emanate from a breakup and not only emotions, anything that comes out of that. To heal a wound you have to attend to it right? Otherwise it gets infected. See if you can allow yourself to feel those emotions fully and do not repress any, even if you think feeling those is wrong or inappropriate for you to feel or think. This is important in things like this because emotions are like a live missile, it is already on so the best you can do is to look at it while it's firing, otherwise you might end up blowing up your own camp! Journaling is a great way to deal with this as to let any repressed or unvoiced aspect of yourself speak, instead of playing behind the scenes in your subconscious.
