(no subject)
Wasn't really looking forward to starting a new entry until I put an end to the previous meaty one - never knew I was such a stickler for obtaining closure (well ... actually I did).
But I thought I should do one and let you guys know what happened at my tarot card reading on Saturday. Not that there was anything earth shattering I was told but these readings are always interesting, having sat for my 3rd one. And I have to say, dri, that despite your fears about sitting for a tarot card reading, each time I've managed to leave feeling really positive about what was said and what may be in the future. With that said, I've been told lots of conflicting things and things which just don't add up in the three that I've done so I don't really take everything to heart, but I find that they give some really good general perspectives on your life, in the future but perhaps even more so now. And I think a lot of that depends on how you read what they say and how you absorb it too, perhaps I'm a much more positive person than I ever envisaged myself being but I guess positively seems to always be the way I read their readings.
But anyway ... here are a few points I gleaned from last Saturday's reading.
I have a fragile upper body Specifically, chest area. She warned me against doing drugs or against smoking because I have a real fragility in that area, and I suppose this makes sense because I often suffer from these inexplicable coughing fits at nights. And they're often really hard to contain - it takes much more than a glass of water, I find to unnerve the fit. But I wasn't too fazed because I a) don't see the point in smoking, and b) I think I'm kind of passed the whole curiosity phase in my life - not that I ever did much during my curious phase but it was probably enough to know that something serious could happen if I went further.
Changes, changes, changes Eliane (my reader) said that I would be going through a myriad of gradual changes, and that the first really big changes will occur in 2009. She said that I'd undergo some really big changes until 2012 when all big changes will end and from that point on will enter my stability phase for the rest of my life.
Current love life She picked up that there were two loves in my life, and she referred to them being "one is positive, one is negative". I explained to her that I was in a previous relationship and am in a new one, and she automatically told me that my previous relationship was the "negative" and my current relationship was the "positive". Firstly, I didn't really know how to take what she meant by negative because it's a little open-ended and I don't take anything that happened with Jean-Yves as being negative. But she did clarify, saying that JY and I were just two very different people who were individualistic and heading in different directions. She said also that there was nothing more to take from the relationship, it was dead and buried, and I emphatically replied "yes, yes, absolutely".
ASIDE: See, I had a hard time getting over this relationship for a number of reasons, and ultimately the reason we split up was because of our geography. So I think I used to fashion this subconscious desire to always pick things up where we left off - but presonal growth, circumstances and dissociated perspective allowed me to view the situation with two open eyes instead of a blinded heart.
But I digress, and everytime she picked up a new deck I'd shuffled (there were four decks), she kept on saying, "there's that boy again" (Dean), and kept telling me that we're very good for each other and that she sees us being together for a long time.
Future love life But she said that he's not the lifetime partner/soulmate. She said that Dean and I are very good together because we are similar and we're both very flexible, but that we're still too young. She said that she sees me meeting my life partner in 2012. I asked her specifically whether she sees any children and she told me she doesn't see any biological children but she sees an adoptive son and daughter.
ASIDE: With this one, I didn't even have to tell her about the fact that I was in a same sex relationship like I had to with the others who kept referring to women when talking about love. She was quite forthright about it which she was afraid would offend me, but I was actually quite appreciative of it. I mean, after all, if I'm paying good money to get a reading, you may as well get the finer details in my life accurate, no?
Career I wasn't so convinced with her reading on my career, maybe because I didn't really hear what I wanted to hear but I think mainly because it just didn't hold weight with me, with how I envisioned things to be going. She said that being in the media industry is good for me but said that she sees me going into politics in the future (this perhaps was prompted because she asked me what I was studying), justifying it by holding up the Libra card (the Scales). Before that, though, she was saying I would be successful in business/finance/technology and she completely lost me there, until I gave her some clarification about what I do do. So after giving her some pointers, she said that politics is what I'd be "famous" for. Hmmm - not really what I wanted to hear.
Creativity It was reassuring to hear her say that art, music and dance are very close to me and very good for me to continue on with. I asked her whether this would be a career option and she was rather vague about it. Blah.
