Pick a Tarot Card

Strength. And now?
I asked if somewhere in my near future there's some kind of man,since I'm thinking I would better join a convent if my love life doesn't improve.

I asked a question about work and chose The Empress card.

So,,,are you going to let us know what our cards meant? I need an answer!

Will I get the guy?
The Moon.

Worried about work. Will things be okay?

Death.

Well I'm not the expert here. I'm just starting out.
Others though know more.

According to my book - "You will need a lot of physical strength and strength of character to endure this difficult situation for a while. Patience will be needed, as will tact and diplomacy."

I would therefore say - carry on being yourself and don't try to be something other than you are just to impress. No-one like a desperate person.

Representing an earth mother type who knows how to count the pennies. This card denotes fulfilment, having enough money and goods or comfort and also coming to fruition. If looking it could suggest the new address will be linked to the countryside or garden.

Don't know how the last bit fits with work but there you go. That's what it means. A good card I think.

NO!

My question was about money and my career options. The card I picked was Strength.

I have no idea what that means????

Thanks,,that really did answer my question! It sounds like things are going to work out the way I want them to.

How will my business go? (The World)

My question: Will I ever own my own New York candy store?
I picked the Star.

Strength has little to do with physical strength.
I'm not desperate,just a bit bored.

I refuse to participate in this mumbo jumbo.

#3, the Empress.

Judgement-reversed.
Picked by a tarot program to represent my current state of affairs. It represents my ream of activity, and being reversed, my inertia within that.

Well, strength represents the sort of prayer energy found within a convent. It's a caring sort of strong love compassion that should attract any marriage minded man too.

Physically plugged into a position of leadership (administration) by not forcing anything, but having everything harmoniously align with you, not playing favorites but using a compassionate ear that has everyone appreciating their contribution to things.

Choices are daydreamy, quite separate from your physical reality. Your inner romantic conceptions are a different path than the course which would make a relationship work out. You keep everything to yourself, hoping to be understood.

Thanks! That's just what I was hoping. I know it's your job, but you do read me pretty well.

Is "my" card.The card that,no matter when I do the reading,and about what,it always comes out.

That's not the empress, that's the 9 of pentacles or nine of cups. It's only the empress in about the lowest, basest interpretation possible. What book are you using?
May I recomend The Rabbi's Tarot by daphne moore, The Tarot by Paul Foster Case, and An introduction to Qaballistic Symbolism for serious study; Tarot Dictionary and Compendium by Janet Riley if you want several authors crude interpretations; Tarot in Ten Minutes by R.T. Kaser if you want a more business like guide to answering specific questions like love or business with the cards (as you seem to be interested in). There are also several good books on self-discovery meditation journals and such using the tarot as well, but they are of lessor use for these purposes.

Death - things will fall apart or get shelved to make way for new projects or ways of doing things. You were taking them too seriously and letting them weigh you down anyhow. You'ro too cluttered to see a fresh light in work.

Strength - Nurture projects that come your way with peaceful force. Look for meaningful energy work that doesn't require any blatant show. Put gentle consideration and softly contemplated attention into your finance management rather than any quick desperate fixes.

World - The world is your oyster, all possibilities lie before you while you feel confident and keep a broad perspective of everything involved. New ventures will require making plenty of contacts and coordinating much information.

Star - You have what it takes to make your dreams manifest so long as the dream is really about something more important than the physical aspects of the business.

He's doing a lot of projecting. It's tough to find a pschic who isn't doing that, and I'm no exception. If you have a good psychic, they can do a reading on several levels, interpreting it as pertaining to anything from the moment between you, to an understanding of your history and options. The readings I do are in terms of paths: what will happen if you make no changes, your options, and the outcomes of those choices.

Whats going on with me and him? I chose 14temperance with my eyes closed but wanted to pick 5 hierophant with my eyes open.

My question was: What should i be doing this time next year? I chose Temperance. I don't know why, it was just the first one my eye fell on so I clicked it Not sure if that counts as "feeling" it......

That's a telling combination. Tarot can use something called gymatria where numbers reduce by adding their digits: temperance 14 is 1+4 which equals 5, the heirophant. The heirophant says you want to spell out how everything is going (or less likely, have him do so). Temperance though means you have to be patient (step back a bit in reserved judgement) and mix energies until you arrive at answers that belong to both of you.

Temperance is my favorite card.

Temperance and strength are your cards anyhow (they are a bit more emotionally centered than say the star and the high priestess). Temperance suggests that you need to have lots of energy (emotions, actions, knowledge, etc.) flow through you with conscious control but detachment. Guide things without attachment, and you will learn your place in them. That's different than the high-priestess which has all knowledge flow through them with neither judgement nor control, or the magician which controls with attachment but less wisdom/knowledge in their actions, or the chariot which wills their surroundings by and for collective purpose or the heirophant that directs and dispenses knowledge.
Temperance can represent apothecary work. let me draw more cards. Ok, this a tough reading to decipher. It's looking to me like an ambiguous year ahead concerned with developing clarity through dreamy means (moon R, HP R). If anything, your work appears medical related (10 Swords), but school looks like the absolute perfect fit (the world).

Thankyou, that's really interesting And accurate to the way I feel right now. What do you mean by dreamy means though?

That's a good conflux card. I can see some magician, lovers, moon, star and even a glint of tower in you. Temperance doesn't seem to quite be you, but I can't see a better card that comprises on your mix either. Pairs of cards like the chariot and the hanged man would do it. Your more involved than the hermit or high priestess, less outgoing than most of the cards, sharper than Strength, in broader realms that the wheel, a compromise of energies, but not as forceful as justice, so that does sort of leave Temperance.

I just asked where i am right now....card #5, card #11 and finally card #6

Hard relationship decisions being made, eh?

hmm.. some stalking.

I can't decide. I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about Tarot.

Think of a question and use any random method of selecting a card (i list a few in the advanced stats).

Cool!

Oh, damn...and there I was thinking of all the pretty candy colors.

I was thinking about my hubby and I...just in general...no real question...just thinking about us... I chose "The Emperor". Have no idea what this means.

My question:
If I go to see B at the softball game, will anything come of it?

The card picked with my eyes closed:
Temprance

??????????????????????????????

That is so cool! I love my hello kitty

Thank you

A fellow who is very methodical and likes to be in control of everything in his environment.

Temperance is mixing stuff (a union) and standing back to see what happens. Seems you do a bit of that.

What is to come? The Tower.

Thank you. I bought a beginner's Tarot. Including a Rider-White set and accompanying illustrated book. Very nice but only about one paragraph per card. I'll be curious whether people other than yourself can help out in this 'survey'.

Thanks for the Death/work interpretation. I'm a little worried as so far 10 people have been made redundant and last week four more were.

According to one of the websites this is a high stress situation but one that comes and goes relatively quickly. But the good news is that after the storm there will be new beginnings. There were lots of other nasty things said but suffice to say that it will lead to greater understanding and new ways of doing things.

[copied from Website] "..it indicates that and gains acheived will be long-term in nature..this male will probably represent a man who is most important in their lives."

I asked the Tarot when my boyfriend would propose. I chose the Lovers since we are lovers. What does it mean?

You're a strong personality! It figures. You know your own mind and don't strike me as someone easily led.

I'm sure Kristal will give a decent interpretation but this card is definately about having to make a choice and being faced with decisions. (I guess that doesn't answer your question - sorry)

yup, good one. thx.

That's ok. Maybe it'll answer the underlying questions in our relationship. Thanks anyway. I might go internet-surfing to find the meanings of these cards in the meantime.

I always go for the ten of swords, which wasn't an option.

ouch! That's a sad little card.

I forget how the tarot works, but if my memory serves, that is the card the represents me...

all the way around...that's the question i always ask...i ask, what's going on right now? relations w/ everyone, w/ scotty w/ cheyenne, w/ my folks, w/ my friends...just every angle i believe. for things can go either way, well, that is always a possibility, but now more than ever, we'll either make it or break it...we'll make it i know, but is here for sure right now.

that's stunningly descriptive of today!

That's right.
I'm stubborn!

Dammit. I hate it when these things make sense.

What will the near future hold?(by near future I am thinking within a year) that is my question. I prefer not to pick a random card like the survey suggests I don't think you can get an accurate reading this way. Could you be of assistance with my question?

I was about to comment that that's the 9-11 card. Just then a news report mentioned tme planes collided at lake constance. What is to come where? There's a lesson light at the end of the tunnel on the tower card. Insight and peace through catastrophe.

Will he marry me?

The lovers

has to be the tower - always.

didnt think of that aspect.
the tower represents enlightenment.

The Magician

I don't have any questions....

That's the card of indecision. Its about wanting to be independant but also wanting to be part of someone. It basically a confused card. Good luck - as I know you love this guy Osc! Er..maybe you need to back off a little and give him some breathing space just to show that pairing up with you isn't tantamount to a life sentence with shackles and chains.

BTW:
1. You are v. cute. I just caught the other pics in grmbrands website.
2. Thank you very much for making this survey the special thing that it is. Everyone hated it in qual but I personally like it. Thank you.

The lovers represents choices and seeking guidance. Anything can represent anything if you have your own vocabulary. A siren could be a good omen for some people, and likewise the Lovers can represent just that. I take it to mean you are waiting upon each other for something to happen.
I just did a quick reading for you.
The first card representing the situation was (surprise!) The Lovers.
You are the Wheel rev. - a dizzying array of potential.
He is Ace Pentacles rev. - An open door of communication possibility.
Your attitude is Prince swords - wishing him to be your sweet knight in shtining armor.
His attitude is king pent. - Planning to create a very solid kingdom of his home and finances.
The merged result is 9 wands. - A leary defended estate. In other words he wants to be a home provider. I suspect there are some other issues though that need addressed at some time, like the balance of power in your relationship. It seems to be heavily weighed upon him.

Your one of those people who contains the seed of their opposite. Your old realm of concern may be 10 sw., but the Sun lies within you. A spread of your body-heart-mind-soul suggests strong down to earth faculties.

Lovers is making choices and looking for guidance. I threw down more cards though.
You are the princess of wands, a bit of a warrior, more physical than mental about your passions. In this relationship you are the Chariot (will power) and he is the 2 of cups (a relationship), and yet the outcome I see is the 7 of swords (it gets dark and you leave). On the down side, you two encounter a void (3 sw.); on the bright side you have lots of excellent experiences together (the World).

2 Cups. everyones thinking about relationships here. Looks like your at one of those contemplative junctures where you see your relationship needs more (3 sw. rev.). Your holding your own quite well (though you want more)(Queen wands), while he's the Hermit now, going inside to consider his greater meaning in life. Your major issue this year is self empowerment (Chariot) while his is watching his current dream set unweave (7 C.). Your combined issue will be desolation. You would be best to stay focused on being the Queen of Pentacles, making sure your physical realm is secure. A secure renewed love vibe is on the way for the two of eventually though. You'll play a stronger part in that (Princess C.).

Your concern is a good life (9 pentacles). Your high ideals (Ace swords) (active intelligent force) and your actuality (2 pentacles)(the harmony of indecision) reflect your choice of the magician, meaning you have the capacity to do things but require a path to act upon. The right path now would be a relationship (2 Cups) {which backs up the 9 P. you had}, the path you might mistakenly apply yourself to is the Hanged Man reversed, meaning self-absorbed discard of things outside your dreams of success.

If this ain't Kristal... oh, it wasn't.

thanks Kristal

*hands you your hat on a plate*

I don't like that answer. Can I have another one???

How about this one...
Are we meant to be together?

You pick the card/s.

Good girl, you can change the future! This time I have you as the Ace of swords, an actively intelligently inspired person, and he as the High Priestess, someone unjudgementally keeping track of lots of stuff going on.
The advantage of you being with him is the 9 Cups, home and relationship security, for him it is 3 Cups, a festive union. the advantage of you going seperate ways is for you the 8 C., seeing only the despairand misery side of things (no advantage at all), but for him, Strength, he'd find someone with strong nurture anyhow. You'll get along best by working together on things; You'll have the most problem with explosive arguements.

Is Ben going to be happy with his new job?

I picked the Sun - what does it mean?

Ok Kristal, answer mine...

Hmmm...that one's a little different.

"OOh, ooh. Do me!" Ok. I don't know how you picked the card, but there is no happier card, although my happiest card is the World because it incorporates everything. The Sun is fresh innocent vibrancy, like a rebirth.
Wow, what heavy cards. Ben is the High Priestess, lots of mindstuff flowing through. The job demands internal wisdom and self-discipline (and could be isolating)(Hermit). His realtionship to it will be the Heirophant reversed, very political (not necessarily in a good way), demanding much clarity and prowess to navigate a powerful maze. He will have a fresh open-minded attack on it (Ace swords) because it will demand being so mentally alert. {that's not you, that's ben }

Hello Kristal. I was just having a little surf of the net and came across this
http://astro-services.com/services/tarot/

What do you think of it? According to this - the card which best represents me is 'Wheel of Fortune' but I was a little unsure on some of the questions. (I don't know my own mind half the time and get stuck between admitting what I am and what I want to be).

What do you mean "how I picked the card"? I just quickly glanced through the choices and I was drawn to that one - like it registered. I dunno...

You know, it really will be like a rebirth...

I'd be more inclined to call you the Moon or the Magician.

I'm enjoying this!!!

OK:
What will our life together be like?

I refuse to answer that one.

Sorry, I have quite a few reasons. Besides, a few years ago you wouldn't even go for having your cards read.

The Moon sounds more like me! Yeah. Did you do the little survey test on that site. What did it have you down as? Did you agree?

I did it. I don't agree with it. I read the source code and do not agree with their formulae. I've written tarot software myself.

So, which card does best describes you?

I also clicked on the link and did the free tarot reading. I asked 'Why am I having difficulty in relationships?' - the results were pretty vague though and gave me what I wanted to hear. I wonder though whether it was crap. In fact re check what I said - the answers were just one line that meant nothing. They should have been more adventurous and supplied a fuller description with each card.

I go back and forth between two cards, the Fool and the World.
