Tarot.
So, Illyana read my tarot cards for me. I don't know much about it, honestly. But here is what she said:
Querant: The Fool.
You. Oh, life is so exciting, da? So many opportunities! You are deliciously naive in many ways, but you are changed constantly by everything you experience.
I don't really consider myself deliciously naive. I guess 'exciting' is one word for life.
Covering: Queen of Pentacles
The situation you are in. Love of nature, intense involvement in the physical world.
I have a love of nature but it's not really the situation I'm in?
Crossing: Justice
The obstacle. This an interesting card to be crossing... it indicates you are off balance, you have lost your equilibrium. That or you are way too obsessed with what is 'right'. :P
If justice is my obstacle I think I have a problem. I don't know what 'way too obsessed with what is right' might mean.
Above: Queen of Swords
Conscious factors in your situation. You were raised by strong women, therefore you strive to be one yourself. Loneliness, harshness, and wisdom. Athena.
I agree with this.
Below: King of Pentacles
Subconscious factors. Oooh, a BOY. :P Stability, power, wisdom. A good match - your equal.
Okay :)
Past: Eight of Cups
Leaving something before it has ended because it was time to move on. We do not always finish what we start and this is not bad. A sense of abandonment.
Um. Idk.
Future: Knight of Wands
Travel, burnout. Sudden action, someone bearing news. A hero.
Probably?
Self: The Tower
This is how you react to your future. ...hee! Not well! The world comes tumbling tumbling down. Your beliefs will be challenged, your way of thinking must be reconsidered as there is a fatal flaw. A house built on unstable foundations will not stand.
And later expounded:
It is upheaval, to be sure, usually not because you choose it. It is the fire from the heavens destroying the work of man.
However... it can be liberation, as the card that directly precedes it in the Major Arcana is the Devil, and the card that follows is the Star. Lucifer becomes the Morning Star through the Tower.
The Tower, although painful, tends to revel great spiritual truths... provided we are not too busy screaming on the way down.
I said I'd heard this before. The future is going to be hard, dark times are ahead, I have to be strong and ...fight back. Illyana says I should listen. The last time someone said that I was in no mood to listen.
House: Two of Pentacles
Those around you who affect you. Wisdom in daily life and in nature. Gain and loss. Loss and gain.
...Okay?
Hopes/Fears: Ace of Cups
You big romantic, you. :P Love. Spiritual nourishment.
I don't see anything wrong with being a romantic :P
The Outcome: Nine of Wands
Defensiveness. Do not bother with that - instead be strong, have courage, as times will be tense. This is a card of foundation. Challenge yourself... or others will be put into your life to do so.
I guess here I should follow her advice! (I can be pretty defensive...)
So. Well. Thank you, again.
