I believe that I feel like doing another round of readings once more. Standard fees for money, DP and paraphernalia applies. Readings range from 1 to 10 cards, additional cards to clarify readings require more money, et al.

If anyone would prefer a reading in private or privately in person, I might be willing to arrange that.

Also, I've been considering doing this more full time in the future.

... Can I have 10?

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. The Present: XXI - The World Upside-Down You stay at 'home' within your comfort zones, refusing to complete projects. You find yourself unable to complete which is started. You don't wish to expand your horizons or know more about the world about and around you. 2. The Challenge: Queen of Wands Upside-Down The challenge is you feel afraid, intimidated, and jealous and you self sabotage your own growth and opportunity. A lack of faith. This card indicates you need to renew yourself and calls you to funnel the energies of the Knight of Wands into your life, who is change incarnate. Such a change is vital in your life. 3. The Past: XIII - Death Face-Up You did have a change recently, a change that should of meant the end of the Old World for you, and the birth into the New. However, resistance to growth means you won't let the Reaper clear the path before you, especially if you know it might hurt and sting. 4. The Future: Queen of Coins Face-Up Love. The pulse of life and energy. The best is yet to come. Hard work brings success in the future if you are willing to put in the effort. 5. The Goal: 2 of Wands Upside-Down You wish to make a choice that's very important, but you are indecisive because fear what the choice you might make mean. So instead, you copy others, afraid to carve out your own path. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: 5 of Cups Face-Up You fear regret and disappointment, especially in matters of friendship and love, for the fact you're scared what the relationship you wish to further. Your id is driven by regret, disappointment, feeling unloved and a desire to focus on the negative. 7. The Advice: 10 of Pentacles Upside-Down Don't let your legacy and lineage go to waste. Don't let them become a shackle rather than a path. 8. The External Factors: XIV - Temperance Upside-Down You feel exhausted by events in your life. A balance between two opposite elements created a dangerous third. Instead of making your best, you fear what was created was a monster, the worst and darkest side of yourself. You've been feeling exhausted and drained. Because of your own choices, what should of become beauty has become hideous instead. You refuse to let things blend naturally for fear of what could be born from their union. 9. The Hopes and Fears: XV - The Devil Upside-Down You avoid temptation, but yet at the same time, you lack true ambition. You are too restricted in your life, and it's become so stifling that you have no drives. No dreams. You never take a chance. The Devil isn't A Demonic Deal. The Devil here is the Devil of Wild Passions. The hidden you that you keep hidden. The Id incarnate. The Devil is a beast but even beasts have their use. Sometimes, it isn't evil to give into the Great God Pan. This plus the World represents an unwillingness to take a journey into the metaphorical underworld for greater knowledge. Also it might mean you fear intimacy and are scared and have trauma. 10. The Outcome: IX - The Hermit Upside-Down As things currently stand, you'll end up isolating yourself out of paranoid delusions and foolish behaviors. Instead of learning deeper truth, the true meaning of the Hermit, you will remain in the dark, and lonely.

Lauren said I could do it, hit me dealer!

[snakebitesbythebeach]

I'm not really a dealer, but fair enough. 1. The Present: 6 of Wands Face-Up You feel good about yourself. Life is looking up. You're extremely fortunate in terms of your circumstance. You've survived. If you seek, you shall find. This is a good time to chase lost dreams. The wheels of fate turn again. You ride on a horse, metaphorically, towards your destiny. 2. The Challenge: 4 of Coins Upside-Down The challenge in your life lacks anything really solid or dependable. You might be street smart, but you can't see the big picture and that's a problem for you. It represents that you dont' know what is truly important in your life. 3. The Past: XXI - The World Upside-Down Your life was suspended. Nothing happened. Growth was stalled and frozen. You were the furthest from enlightenment. 4. The Future: XIII - Death Face-Up A great change of who you are and what your life is awaits you in the future, but it might come at immense pain. But it will be for the best in the end. 5. The Goal: Queen of Wands Upside-Down Your future is impeded by jealousy and sabotage, both internal and external. A lie impedes the truth. You should seek the energy of the Knight of Wands and change things up from a set routine. There is someone in your life who acts like they know everything but are in fact a know-nothing idiot, and are about as deep as puddle. And their spine folds when push comes to shove. Your goals are likely to face setbacks. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: Knight of Coins Upside-Down Envy and Stagnation prey in your subconscious. The stagnation caused by the World breeds resentment and hated. Your time has been lost, and even worse, wasted. You failed to spend time on what was truly important. You have no strong connections in this world, since your time restarted. 7. The Advice: III - The Empress Face-Up Concern yourself with building a home. Consider settling down and finding someone special in your life to spend the rest of it with. Get in touch with yourself that's hidden deep down. This card is a good sign to take any venture, whether it be persona, romantic, business. Seize the moment, strike while the iron's hot. 8. The External Factors: 8 of Cups Upside-Down The world demands your dream die. Or that your dream was stolen for you. This could be the past or current. You are being pressed to sacrifice your happiness and dreams for another's desires. A bitter reality awaits your doorstep. You feel lost in the world. Your growth remains poisoned and stalled. You feel out of place and useless. There's not much you can offer. Ennui and apathy threaten you. 9. The Hopes and Fears: King of Swords Face-Up You seek to learn. You wish to be prepared. You wish to be respected and well know. You want to succeed. This card indicates if you want to succeed, hit the books and catch up with things since the time your time froze, so to speak. 10. The Outcome: Ace of Swords Face-Down Unfortunately, the winds of fate currently point to a bitter outcome: Loss of memory. A poisoned communication due to failure to talk. Misinformation will be the rule of the day. Lies. You will be betrayed. The truth is obscured. The reality is hidden. If you want the future you desire, be careful what you say, and who you say it to. Drama born of nothing. Brainwashing and mind control. Nothing will be make sense. There is no reason. No order. No logic. The world turns upside down and everything you thought you knew becomes a lie.

[longingfreesia]

I wouldn't mind having a 10 card reading. Might be fun!

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. The Present: 10 of Swords Upside-Down You hold onto pain. You keep beating yourself up. You take the blame. You can't let go of words from others. You are being drawn into a plot. You are being trapped. You're making a mistake. Run away. Admit weakness, it's not a shame. Your life might look good but there's a rot. A plot. A cancer that threatens to swallow it all up, and bring things to hell. 2. The Challenge: Queen of Cups Upside-down A darkness hidden deep down is being nurtured for the worst. Psychic energies are blocked. Dark feelings remain unaddressed. If this card is a person, they will disappoint you, and at worst, shatter your heart to the point it can't be repaired. 3. The Past: I - The Magician Face-Up Your recent past is dominated by you realizing your potential. By you believing in yourself. You taking charge of your destiny. You chose to re-invent yourself. But the Ten of Swords makes it sound as if someone close to you is taking advantage of you and plans to hurt you. 4. The Future: VIII - Strength Upside-Down Your future is ruled by anger, jealousy and fear. You will be used. You will not be strong enough on your own and you need support to face the danger that looms over you. Depression. Loss of sense of self. Your joy turns to misery. Negativity close by won't change. Your hunger for your dreams dry up, due to whoever will hurt you. 5. The Goal: 3 of Cups Upside-Down Your goals turn toxic in the future. You'll cheat on your boyfriend with another man. What should of gone right will go horribly wrong. You'll act like a complete bitch. Jealous of what others have. Cheating and lack of faith. You'll become someone no one else can trust. Or there's someone with these traits in your life. Something will be stolen from your life. You'll be unable to tell if your emotions or your memories are right. You'll become needy and dependent, pushed to hurt those that matter most to you. This and the Magician means someone who wasn't supposed to be in your life crawled in and plans to paint it black. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: 6 of Swords Upside-Down The core of this is someone is stealing important information and leading you astray. Someone leads you astray. Make sure you back-up your information or memories. Someone is going to undermine you. This represents a rule-breaker and a criminal. This card represents, bluntly, a con artist and a charlatan. 7. The Advice: Knight of Coins Upside-Down Double check everything. The little details are worth looking into. 8. The External Factors: XXI - The World Face-Up Everything is about to change. You're about to grow into being a real woman. And someone is going to take advantage of your growth to their own ends if you're not careful. The person you will become will get interrupted by someone else due to all the negative energy in this reading, no how positive the World wishes to be and make you grow into the person you want so desperately to become. 9. The Hopes and Fears: III - The Empress You hope to grow. You hope to fall in love. You hope to channel all the power of the feminine and the earthly into its most positive form. You seek to become the adult you wish to be, rather than the youth you are now. But someone is going to use that growth that turn you into the worst possible you if you're not careful. 10. The Outcome: 8 of Cups Upside Down Your dream will be stolen and will be turned into a nightmare beyond your imagination. You will stop growing and may even lose sense of yourself or even regress. If you wish to escape this dire fate, run as fast as you can and make sure you know who the hell you're talking to really is.

[hardcorebestcore]

...

Ten cards, please.

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. The Present: Knight of Coins Upside-Down Your present is dominated by sloppiness and a sense of spinning your wheels in your career despite advancement. A possible sign to worry about travel. Make sure you have everything you need. You might get lost. Alternatively, you hunger for change in life but nothing's particularly hitting the right notes. Alternatively, a sign you're not focusing on what's actually important. You remain immature and dilly dallying despite what's happening. 2. The Challenge: 6 of Swords Upside-Down You feel like you're missing something important. You're forgetting something important and it's at the tip of your tongue. Like the Knight of Coins, the 6 of Swords indicates wasted potential, wasted time, wasted energy. Things are going missing, or you're having problems solving a problem that means something to you. 3. The Past: I - The Magician Face-Up Essentially, potential and training. The desire to grow. You mastered tasks and grew as a person and learned vital skills and secrets you needed to become the person you are today. 4. The Future: XXI - The World Face-Up A brilliant future of oppurtunity and your growth to womanhood await positively, but only if you solve the problems befuddling you in the present. They remain quite vexing. However the World is the conclsuion of the Magician. The Magician is the introduction and learning of how to use the elemtns of Fire, Water, Wind and Earth, or more simply, being taught how to do and use things in this world. The World in comparison represents you have learned to master the skills you have been taught. It could mean you've learned how to master Action Dueling or merely your Zefra Deck. Or even how to do "Walk the Dog" with a Yo-Yo. 5. The Goal: Queen of Cups Face-Up You seek to be an empathic woman who understands those around her, using her mind to create rather than destroy. You wish to make the lives of others better. You're in love with others and they're falling in love with you as they see you become the woman you want to be, rather than merely dream of it. You wish to use your affinity for fire to burn away what isn't needed so the forest can grow, so to speak. The goals you wish to achieve require you to develop and use your special talents, and dream big. Bigger. Biggest. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: X - The Wheel of Fortune Everything is being driven by a positive twist of fate, the gears of destiny begin to move beyond what you can see. The energies of positive change have your back, even if you can't see it, and are at current, driving things to where you hope they'll be. They'll lead you, however, to places you didn't expect. You'll make connections and friendships with those you couldn't of ever imagined. And the energy leading you will let you realize who you want to be in the Queen of Cups. Don't worry. No matter how bad things get, they'll work for the best. The best is yet to come. 7. The Advice: Knight of Swords Face-Up Don't hesitate. Charge ahead. Advance. Keep pushing forward. Stay on the war path. Compete. Seek the truth. Be active. But most importantly, PAY. ATTENTION. Listening is absolutely vital to whatever goal it is to whatever you seek. Pushing forward needs to be complimented by the truth and the facts of a situation, and without the information others are relaying or hold, things could go sideways. You're impatient, but take a deep breath and think for a few minutes even if you have a ton on your plate, as what's going to happen next is going to shock you and explode.L 8. The External Factors: Knight of Wands Face-Up Life is in the fast lane right now. A journey will begin to places, that for you, are fun and exciting. Everything's at high speed. Nothing will be slow down. You're about to make your big move and create the world of dreams you desire, and elements are swirling around you to go faster. Further. However, this is a time in which you need to mature. Grow up. Be a bit more responsible and adult, and take responsibility for what you do. 9. The Hopes and Fears: Knight of Cups Face-Up You're in love. You feel creative. But you worry you're wearing rose colored glasses. You're hopeful, but you worry you're being too hopeful. You are performing but you fear you're the butt of the joke. You hope what you're doing will make lives worse, but you worry it'll hurt them or you're just being selfish. This continues the theme of a journey. 10. The Outcome: King of Coins Face-Up As it currently stands, you'll be managing a project. Your life will be happy and comfortable. You'll have the Midas Touch, everything you do becomes golden. You'll be at the top of your game. Success through discipline, and hard work. Someone who is a trust worthy expert. The perfect provider through money and a stable home and heart. The King of Pentacles might also be someone important with a lot of money. Listen to them. King of Pentacles cannot be tricked or bamboozled. I will note the reading basically infers a strong charge of the four principle elements through the Knights, The World ad the Magician. This is representation of learning to control everything you can, and that a great journey is coming your way, and you must learn to control the energies around you to succeed at your goals. However the cards at the beginning indicate you're missing a vital item required to solve the problem at hand.

[ogrewarrior]

... I'd like to meet in person for mine.

[snakebitesbythebeach]

Alright. I have a small studio under construction we can use.

[azuremagma]

... screw it. I'll take seven cards.

'S a good number.

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. The Past: Page of Swords Face-Up The recent past is dominated by inexperience and knowledge without wisdom. It can infer intelligence but lacking street smarts. News and gossip. The unpredictable. A lie. A deception. Being spied on. It infers learning new skills and concentrating on something important but it shows a sense of boredom if stimulation is involved. It can infer truth but it can also infer the damaged caused by talking too much. It can also refer to an odd relationship in romance and trouble settling down. Also it can infer looking for purpose and failing to find it. being ignored. Someone who wishes for a prince on a white horse. Someone who is overly anti-social and prone to danger. 2. The Present: 7 of Swords Face-Up Stealing. Sneaking off. Avoiding what're supposed to be doing. You're breaking the rules of the system by not following them. You don't want to face the music. Your present is dominated by coming and going as you please due to a sense of anti-social behavior. It also can infer someone is hiding the truth and is using dangerous energies they don't completely understand. It can also infer to you yourself that you're being too narrow-minded and are failing to consider other options and chances. 3. The Hidden Influence: 4 of Cups Face-Up The truth is the matter is you feel uninspired. You don't enjoy being around others but you feel left out and out in the cold. You're honestly quite bored and don't know what to do to alleviate it. But the Seven of Swords is preventing you from finding new answers to your life's woes. 4. The Querent: 3 of Wands Face-Up This card represents you, three staffs of the realm of fire. A royal son who bears the world and controls their own destiny. You love to do things but only as long as you know something will come of it. You are strength incarnate. And it also implies access to the big picture, to a more cosmic vision of the world that few others have access to, 5. The External Influences: XII - The Hanged Man Face-Up However, you are currently also The Hanged Man, a card that implies stagnation. You peace in your life. And right now you have it but it's boring. Life is on hold. The Hanged Man speaks of reflecting on what really matters to you, without having a stupid near death experience. Doing less can achieve more. Let go. Give up, and things might start again. But it refers to a lull period and the need to let go to truly understand things. 6. The Answer of What To Do: 2 of Swords Face-Up Compromise. Stay calm, avoid your temper. Stay out of trouble. Don't get involved in other people's problems. You have enough problems to deal with at the moment on your own plate. Bid your time. Be patient. Wait to see what comes your way. Fact. Information. New Rules must be learned and stepping back to do so is vital, as they might be evidence. You want to avoid all the toxic underpinning of previous relationships. This doesn't mean slam your door on people's faces, but take a deep breath and keep clam. 7. The Final Outcome: 4 of Swords Face-Up You will heal, you'll be restored in a way. Good sleep comes again. A relationship becomes intertwined and perfectly happy. Or you're fine on your own. The point is by taking time out from existing drama, you can sit down, think to yourself, and take the time to create what you really want and solve the problems bothering you. Take a good look at the company you keep and decide if you really want them or if they make your life honestly better. Maybe you need new friends and better hobbies. This reading is dominated by thoughts, beliefs, logic and decisions. This reading is centrally based on your ability to talk with others and resolve problems.

[likesand_inaglass]

Readings, huh...

... Give me a full 10 set?

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. The Present: 2 of Coins Inverted Your present is indicated by an inability to juggle the demands of life. There's actually a lot of chaos in your readings. Often this card inverted refers to a path that's run its course, and to be wary of emotional instability. Your current plans aren't working out at all. Consider something new. 2. The Challenge: 3 of Swords Upright The challenge is however, no matter what decision you decide to make, it's the Three of Swords, swords impaling the heart. Heartbreak. Letting down yourself and others. Cutting to the heart of a problem. However, it is recommended you remember your passions and dreams. What you actually care about in your life. Right now you're just running away from whatever problem, you need to get yourself back on track. But accept what you do is going to hurt like hell. 3. The Past: 10 of Cups Inverted A lie. Harmony was disrupted in your past. A hidden agenda. You tried so hard but the fruits of it were ash and bitter. Your attempts at making things better have left you frustrated and bitter. You've become a high-standards person who is difficult to please. You've been running an agenda and are trying to force your vision of the world on someone else, refusing to listen to what they have to see. A dream has become a nightmare. You want to be happy but everything up until now, recently, has been ruined because you demand total control and perfection. Your lack of spirituality is blinding you from the big picture and you've been screwing around. 4. The Future: Knight of Coins Upright Be ambitious. Put in effort. Never give up on what you're doing. Accept you may need to go somewhere else. Work hard, play hard. Effort produces results as long as you try something new based on the two of Coins. Once you change things, just stick with what you do, and focus on it. Things will happen. Accept a change in homes and a change in events from what you thought was the path to follow. 5. The Goal: 4 of Pentacles Upright Status. Wealth. Glory. Recognition. Being secure in life. You desire power. Glory. The wealth of kings. However, be aware that the change you make in the Knight of Coins to achieve this goal may well come back to haunt you and stab you right in the back. Also, you may not realize it, but, if you think yourself poor, you already have greatness. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: The Empress Inverted What's driving everything is neglect and poor health. A great mother fails to notice or help you when she could make everything better. A sense of seduction and loss of care. Your own health is hampered by a terrible attitude and a loner nature. You bite the hand that could feed you and make life better. You fail to make things better, you make others needy and work harder than they need, and it's currently not giving you anything due to the 2 of Coins. 7. The Advice: 8 of Cups Upright Turn your back on your current path and walk away. Follow the real dream you desire. Seek deeper meaning and secret knowledge. The answer you speak isn't money, it's in the arcane and spiritual. Abandon normality. Change your priorities now. Find out what truly makes you happy. Go chase something big, something's got to give with what's currently going on if you follow your current path, so why not try for something new. 8. The External Factors: VIII - Strength Upright You're surronded by people with passion who want to help you. They care about you more than anything. They'd do anything for you. Others look up to you and listen to you. 9. The Hopes and Fears: XVI - The Tower Inverted You're worried the truth is hidden. The secret within the secret remains hidden. You don't want to face the facts as it might cause too much of a hassle. You're worried someone is getting away with a crime or a falsehood you want exposed. The Lightning of God that should destroy lies and bring revelation is instead being pointed at you instead. You're worried things are out of your control and you don't know where you went wrong. Anger remains bottled up and fails to vent. Trauma keeps you in toxic behaviors. Accept love. Stop being a loner. 10. The Outcome: Page of Coins Inverted As things currently are, expect nothing bad news unless you change things. Bad news for your health. Bad news for money. Bad news for ambition. A failure to address the harshness of reality. You'll only become more bitter. This reading demands you seek change and that what you want can only be found in the spiritual and emotional realms.

[fistofachilleshield]

Hrm, tell me about the future.

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. The Present: XX - The Judgment Upright Your present is defined by the Judgment, a card that indicates "The time has come". It calls for a change in your life you've been waiting for. Taking responsibility. Stepping up to the task. Recognizing your true vocation. Heeding the call. Letting yourself go. You need to make an important decision, but believe in your ability to make the right choice. You're reaching into a more meaningful life. 2. The Challenge: X - The Wheel of Fortune Inverted However, the threat is things want to stay stagnant or worse, turn backwards. The thing you need for you and those around you to change remains elusive and out of your grasp. What you got due recent choices is going to drag you further into trouble. 3. The Past: 3 of Wands Upright You planned ahead to try and make a future for yourself which Judgment now bestows upon you. Your hard work paid off and life became better because of everything you did. 4. The Future: VIII - Strength Upright The future calls for you to be patient and obtain inner strength. Be passionate and kind. Be proud but determined. Have courage when facing what comes your way, but always make sure to have a kind heart as well, as courage means nothing without kindness. Life is going to become more successful if the energy of the Three of Wands continues to compound. 5. The Goal: 5 of Cups Upright Your goal is affected by grief and second guessing. Disappointment and regret. You feel anxious still, and not sure if you fit. However, these emotional wounds inspire progress, new ideas and new dreams ahead of you. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: XXI - The World Upright The foundation of this is you journeyed to a new world, and you accomplished the previous goal you had, that defined everything in your life. So what should you do now? That is the question. Perhaps help make the world safer. 7. The Advice: 5 of Swords Inverted Be aware there's unresolved tension and conflict. You need to stand up to it, but in a healthy controlled manner. But something from the past continues to haunt you, and unhealthy habits continue to chew away at you, but you must learn to handle both of these issues. 8. The External Factors: 8 of Coins Upright You're currently learning new skills. You're learning a subject and becoming knowledgeable through training. You're laying the ground work. 9. The Hopes and Fears: V - The Hierophant Inverted You fear a rulebreaker, and a hypocrite. It bothers you. There are rules in your life you know but you don't know why. You worry things are less safe then they were. Politics hang over your head, very corrupt politics. Power is being abused and leadership is poor. 10. The Outcome: XXII - The Happy Squrriel Upright Your outcome is vague and mysterious. Things are unforeseeable, in neither a good or bad manner, just ironic. It's a random or unknown outcome. But be careful what you sow, it's likely to come back to bite you. Don't dig up what isn't yours. Some things are better left buried.

[Private]

[mynameis_legion]

Tell me what to do about the Machine King and his forces, I'm at wit's end.

Re: [Private]

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. The Present: 8 of Cups Inverted Your present is defined by a failure to walk away from the 8 of Cups. You're sacrificing your own happiness and you feel miserable by duty. You feel married to a duty so hard your life is stifled and you feel completely lost. You also feel a lack of anything to offer to the world. Everything feels exhausting and hopeless. The repetition in your life has resulted in your life stagnating. You are hidden in the background, practically invisible, and you feel misunderstood by practically everyone. The affair of dealing with Machine King and his forces, 2. The Challenge: II - The High Priestess Inverted The challenge is you lack insight, you're foolish, overly sensitive and feminine and have a fragile psyche. You're not terribly stable deep down and most people walk on eggshells around you due to the fact your worldview and beliefs are irrational. Mental illness or intrusive thoughts is the core issue of this card. Secrets remain kept, your instincts fail you. You feel like you're in an ever shifting labyrinth of bullshit. 3. The Past: XVIII - The Moon Inverted Madness and anarchy reigned in your past. This card indicates in the past a dark night of the soul, the primitive at play. Block of mental and sexual energy. You ended up lost in a kind of mania, that sealed your true talent. Pressures to conform made you crack. You lost faith in the world and in your true psychic and spiritual talents. You wrapped yourself in paranoia and lies. 4. The Future: Knight of Coins Inverted The future as it currently stands is continuing stagnation. You're focusing on the wrong thing, rather than the real problem. Your life won't move forward due to the fact you're approaching your problem with the Machine King improperly, and as it stands, you'll stick to the same failed patterns, that won't actually deal with the problem. 5. The Goal: IV - The Emperor Upright You wish to create chaos out of order, and become your own boss. Follow your own rules. You want to feel like you have energy and you're moving forward with your life. You seek more masculine energy in your life, either from others or yourself. You wish to be logical rather than emotional. A sturdy foundation. A respected member of the community. However you're cursed by being very very opinionated and those opinions take a Herculean amount of effort to change. It also indicates a desire to make a fresh start, a clean break from things as they currently are but that self control and discipline are the way to get it. Make a commitment and honor it. But to deal with this problem, you may need to ask for help for a higher power as indicated by the Knight of Coins. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: XIX - The Sun Inverted The basis of the situation is poor logic. Your happiness is blocked because you're thinking inside the box instead of outside of the box. Things are frustrating and unclear. You don't deal well with children. You feel stuck in a rut, and might well feel scared of changing things up because stasis and repetition are your friend. You're fundamentally miserable, pessimistic, melodramatic and vain. You consistently have trouble making smart, intelligent, informed decisions. 7. The Advice: IX - The Hermit Inverted The Advice I can offer is: Ignore Paranoia. Ignore isolating yourself. Don't be a fool. You tend to have a vicious and twisted side to yourself that's driving much of what's going on. You've lost a grip on the real world and real situation because you spend all your time by yourselves, alone. Again, repeating once more, you suck at making decisions. Search for the truth. Consider taking up a cold case, or even writing. Distract yourself from your current work. Because focusing on it isn't helping. 8. The External Factors: 8 of Swords Upright Again, you're unaware of what to do, but fear being wrong. You're unable to move forward and remain stagnant and stuck in one place. Hold off a major decision because you don't ave enough information. You have unfinished business elsewhere as indicated by the Emperor, and it's quite unpredictable. You're being led astray by the madness of the moon. 9. The Hopes and Fears: King of Wands Upright You wish to be a leader. Someone others respect. A happily married spouse. And you desperately desire something new in life. You want to have it all. You want to be passionate in life, but you loathe compromise. 10. The Outcome: 3 of Cups Inverted As things currently are: Adultery, over-indulgence and social misery are likely to follow. Happiness gone rotten. Jealousy. Bitchiness. Being too competitive. It might be you or someone else, but someone shouldn't be trusted. There's someone who cheats on friends and family. Feel unloved and unattractive and craving attention. You can't distinguish between your thoughts, and your feelings. You have a troublesome past that continues to cloud your perception of the present. You're actually depressed, feel unloved and you constantly toxic. The Three of Cups indicates a possible nightlife or secret party. A milestone will be celebrated, but you'll enjoy it too much via the Eight of Cups.

[for_a_purpose]

I dunno what I should do with myself, so, I suppose give me an insight on what to do.

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. The Present: 6 of Coins Inverted You find yourself unable to actually do anything of relevance. You find yourself unable to generous, and there's just a general listlessness. 2. The Challenge: 2 of Wands Upright The problem is you don't know what you want nor what your place in the world really is. You need to find your place in the world. You desire something, but you aren't saying what it is. 3. The Past: XV - The Devil Upright An obsession. A lack of freedom. The card speaks of a great primal force in your existence back in you. But it also implies someone dangerous. It could refer to multiple sorts of serious darker energies in your life. I can't say for certain who or what this card represents. Perhaps it implies a pervert. Perhaps it's a symbol of a fundamental primal force or elder entity. But it's very deep, dark, strong energy. 4. The Future: 9 of Swords Inverted The future as it currently stands is that you'll continue to remain stuck in the past, and being on the wrong path in life. You're unable to let go of something in the past and find a new future. You continue to suffer and panic and worry and fret over it still. 5. The Goal: 2 of Swords Upright To get whatever it is you want, you need to compromise. You need to be objective. You need to avoid emotions swaying your feelings. This is a card of temporarfy taking a deep breath and staying back before charging head first. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: Ace of Wands Inverted The basis is that you're immature, you have poor timing and are unmotivated. You lack a feeling of excitement in your life. 7. The Advice: III - The Empress Inverted You're failing to pay attention to things you should be nurturing. You're leaving important projects unattended, perhaps even family. You're actually prettier than you think. The Devil and this card symbolize a child created by "abnormal means". The Ace of Wands and this card represent a stillborn idea or plan and project. 8. The External Factors: 6 of Swords Upright You currently seek a solution while your emotions run low and you remain sentimental. There's energies pushing for change and moving in the right direction, and you merely need take them. If you have stress in your life, go somewhere else for the moment. Focus on using technical skills. 9. The Hopes and Fears: 5 of Cups Upright What you realize is that you're still grieving or a loss. You regret and feel miserable, your emotions running sour, making you hard to please but also unloved. You know a relationship went bad, and that's something you need to come to terms with. You'll find inspiration of how to move on in a difficult situation. But you're hiding your true feelings all the same. You need to be able to move on from regret, and recover and let yourself heal. 10. The Outcome: XI - Justice Upright Ultimately, all I can tell you is truth is a key. A key that sets people free. No one can stop you from making your life better than yourself. You need to give yourself a fair chance, and there's no reason you can't succeed other than being hard on yourself.

Give me a dream to believe in, Ms. Soothsayer. I feel run dry on ideas.

Re: [Private]

1. The Present: XXI - The World Inverted The present for you is an incomplete one. Undisciplined. Ventures abandoned and a project incomplete. Whatever you planned to do, you find yourself unable to finish. A false view of the world around you is preventing you from getting truly involved. Stilness instead of movement, or even sliding into the past. You see the world through distrust. You're someone with no interest in challenge or responsibility, and take meaningless jobs. 2. The Challenge: 4 of Coins Inverted The problem lay in the fact you're penny smart, but pound foolish: I.e. you're good with making money but not saving or utilizing it. There's a lack of anything 'real' for you to grasp onto. 3. The Past: 9 of Coins Inverted The past is defined by a need to complete something but being unable to due to a lack of knowledge and wisdom. Your life has tended to be messy and your relationships tend to have an unfortunate sense of toxicity. 4. The Future: 7 of Cups Inverted Your future, as it currently lays is filled with nightmares and secrets. A blocked imagination. Dreams become anxiety. Depression becomes anxiety. You'll remain in trouble due to the fact you can't see a way to live other than the way you currently live. Resulting in constant circling and imbalanced patterns. 5. The Goal: XX - The Judgment Inverted The problem with your goals are they are bedeviled by poor judgment and repeating the same mistake. You're focused on your old life, on old habits, rather than seeking new choices. You should be the master of your own destiny but other influences in your life continue to to touch you. You feel like a zombie, stuck in the same old patterns, as life passes you by. This card plus the world indicates something political or just in general big is in play with your life. To achieve your goals, you should consider new policies and game plans, as per the Judgment and Four of Coins. And that you should have confidence in yourself as per the 9 of Coins. A lack of confidence is corroding your potential. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: 9 of Wands Inverted At the core of this is a stubborness that drives you. The obstacles you seek to face might just be too big for you to take on. The ultimate problem is that you need to "Face the Music", but you're resitant on doing so, but the Judgment and the 9 of Wands beg for you to face the facts. And reality. 7. The Advice: 3 of Swords Upright The Three of Swords advises you to just get to the hart of the situation, no matter how painful things are. You'll need to part with an old way of life, but this card also advises you to remember your passions and dreams. What is your original dream. I suggest that you focus on that. What's your dream of dreams. The World indicates you have trouble finishing what needs to be started, but you must remember your dreams. Humans. Spirits. Anyone. Need dreams. 8. The External Factors: VI - The Lovers Upright Talk with those around you. Externally, you should do things that make you feel whole. Seek love. Find someone. Something that matters to you. Look at the world around you. Make the choice to accept love into your life. With Judgment it asks you to renew the love in your heart. The Seven of Cups suggests maybe the answer to your block is in long distance or digital romance. 9. The Hopes and Fears: 9 of Cups Inverted What scares you ultimately is that you realize you make poor life decisions and overindulge. You don't feel like you're getting what you want. The Nine of Cups needs to be right side up for happiness to be in your life. Your hedonism is a shallow answer. You distract yourself from actual desires and wants in the name of fleeting pleasures. You fear your friends only like you because of your loose purse. You're actually quite unhappy deep down, and rely on money, goods and sex to keep you going. 10. The Outcome: XIII - Death Upright Your current outcome is despite the pain, a new chapter in your life begins. You'll face what scares you. You'll see the truth. The end ends, and the story of a new story begins. A chance for a new life begins. The World and this card indicate despite the World's blocked energy, things will resolve. The Nine of Wands and Death celebrate the end of a struggle. There will be an end of sorrow due to the 3 of Swords. But you may need to embrace an end to luxury.

Tell me what to do about the ones I'm looking for.

Re: [Private]

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. The Present: 2 of Wands Inverted The present is defined by things being on hold for you. You're having issues makign a choice due to fear of making the wrong choice. You're being led rather than taking command. You know what you want, but you don't know how to get it. 2. The Challenge: 2 of Swords Upright The issue is right now, this is a time to put things on hold, to hold the swords of battle back and rest for the short term. You might feel the need to leap forward, but here. Now. Taking your time. Biding your energy. Saving your resources. That is the best you can do for now. 3. The Past: III - The Empress Inverted In the past you were sickly. A loss of family, of maternal energy. 4. The Future: 6 of Swords Upright A better future awaits. You'll find the answer you seek. You'll go on a journey elsewhere. A solution will come to you, and with it, people that can help you. It might even in fact involve technical and scientific skills you need but aren't equipped with. 5. The Goal: XIV - Temperance Inverted However, what lays in the way of your goal is the fact the people that might come won't mix. A group unwilling to congeal and unite together when they should. The best compliments turn to the worst of features. A group of chaos. Be sure you learn and pay attention to these people. The Six of Swords also suggests you be willing to understand other cultures. Other worlds if you truly wish to reach your goal. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: IV - The Emperor Upright At the core of everything going on is the influence of a great man. A leader. Perhaps a corporate leader or in a military. What lays involved are great organizations that are moving you like a pawn on a chess board. You know you need others but you're hestiant to ask for help. 7. The Advice: King of Wands Inverted For advice, this card suggests you let others in. What you want needs a group effort, not doing it by yourself. 8. The External Factors: 9 of Swords Upright The external fact is you lie anxious, unsure of what will happen. Who will come to strike. You don't look forward to the future, you fear the future. You're consumed deep down by misery. This is a card that indicates nightmares. Whatreally worries you is an authority figure who seems unpredictable at best. 9. The Hopes and Fears: XII - The Hanged Man Inverted What you fear is that things will never actually be solved. They'll remain stagnant. That you've missed a chance to solve your goals. However, consider looking for a "Modern Man.". 10. The Outcome: 2 of Cups Upright An intimate relationship. Spiritual healing. Love. A unique friendship. You'll meet someone that will bring you great relief.

[nooneintheshadows]

You're a fortune teller...

... can you tell me what I should do about my family? About possibilities for that?

Re: [Private]

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. The Present: 10 of Wands Upright You find yourself unable to say no. You worry about what others think for you. You live for the sakes of family and friend. You block your own dreams by focusing on the dreams of another. However, you should probably think about you why you're doing all this. If you don't, you're simply seeing "The wood for the trees.". You are someone who can't say no to others, and as a result, you end up being used by them. 2. The Challenge: The King of Swords Inverted The problem is that information is being used by someone else to get what they want, and undecutting you. New ideas from you that actually matters get shot down. And as a result, you seal up your real feelings and real face. It can also mean you're fundamentally unprepared and unable to face what's coming to you. Though considering this reading might also be a love reading, for family and friendships, it can denote an abusive relationship. 3. The Past: 8 of Wands Inverted Perhaps for the past, there's been a lack of energy being properly directed, but it could also refer to parents who are and have been jealous of one another and regularly in fights with another. A couple that regularly gets into arguments. Domestic abuse. A family that is quick to anger, and easily gets jealous. Your life has had a lack of structure from then to now, leading to you blowing in the wind and being someone who easilly bends for the sake of others. 4. The Future: X - The Wheel of Fortune Upright The Wheel of Fortune indicates being free of your family, being able to move past the toxicity of them and any friendships you may have. What you honestly and deeply want will come to pass. You'll make a deep connection with someone, and you'll discover what you really want out of your life. The best is yet to come for you, you'll feel the happiest you've ever felt, potentially. Life has a purpose for you. 5. The Goal: 4 of Swords Upright To achieve your goal, you should probably take a break. Take a time out. Meditate. Find someone or somewhere to talk or just think things through. It can also suggest two people becoming one or accepting it's fine to be alone. You have too much stress building up in your life. Take a time out. Ask for a break. Consider working more at night based on the energy of this card and the Ten of Wands. 6. The Subconscious & Foundation: 2 of Coins Inverted The core of this is... well, frankly, maybe you've outgrown your family. The turbelence of your family threatens your own safety. Your own health. They're just too unstable together. You refuse to take responsibility, and so does your family. It's a circle of trying to have others take the blame but it's not working. 7. The Advice: 10 of Swords Inverted The strongest advice I can give here is recognize you're holding onto something not worth it. You're being hurt by your family, but you try and stick with them. Stick with friends that might no be worth it. You've become a pincushion for others. Recognize the failings in your life. It won't hurt to acknowledge a toxic relationship as being toxic. There's little substance to what you want to hold onto. Being with your family. With your friends. Might seem like a smart idea. But tell me: What actual happy memories do you have in your life? 8. The External Factors: VIII - Strength Upright There someone willing to unconditionally love you. They're ultimately a person filled with passion. They wear their heart on their sleeve, so to speak, to the point they just can't help but care. Incredibly confident, they'll forgive you for anything. Despite being terrifying as a lion, they are honestly kind and quite harmless. They're patient, soft, sensitive, and quite fun to be around. An eccentric and an artist, they are also quite charitable and like to throw money at people. And will gladly help you if you merely ask them. All you literally need to do. Is ask. 9. The Hopes & Fears: 2 of Wands Upright The main problem for you is "Should I stay or should I go.". You want to make a decision, but you don't know what to do about it. You want to find your place for yourself, but you don't know how. You should relax and feel more at ease with yourself. This card tells you, take a journey. Take a journey for your sake. To find where you belong. What, I think you want, is a family that isn't abusive. But family isn't always blood. But you fear making the wrong decision. 10. The Outcome: 2 of Swords Upright I'll be doing two cards here, as I think this is slightly more complicated. First, take a deep breath. Remain out of trouble. Stay calm. To achieve your goals, focus on what actually drives you. But you should be passive to keep the peace between conflicting factions. This a temporary state. Not a permanent one. But you should try and be less afraid of what you actually feel. And be more forthright about your feelings. Also, there's someone waiting for you, but you just can't see them. This card and the Two of Coins implore you to rebuild your life from the ground up. 11. The Outcome 2: VII - The Chariot Upright You'll ultimately get what you want and be in control. This card also tells you to look out for yourself rather than for others. What they want might not be what they need. What you need might not be what they want. You need to love yourself first. You need to care about yourself first. Not your friends. Not your family. You. You'll have to be brave as you'll be entering an unknown world in your life. This card might also indicate a traffic accident might happen. Accept you're in for a very long trip.

Yo. Niece.

Really short reading. Should I actually care about love?

Re: [Private]

[snakebitesbythebeach]

1. What to Focus On: 6 of Swords Inverted Theft. You also often have problems getting in trouble with rules and the law, Auntie. Running afoul others is probably something to focus on more than love. 2. The Root: XIV - Temperance Upright Ultimately, what drives this issue is you need more self balance in your life. Not love. You need to get yourself in order. You need to let yourself heal and let your life settle. Religion might be of higher value to you than romance. Focus on being connected with others and working with others than trying to find someone to kiss. What might be of value is learning about other cultures. 3. Advice #1: 3 of Swords Inverted Deal with the grief stored up in your heart. Be more honest with others, as you wear a mask. Be truer to yourself, Auntie. You reject others out of fear of being rejected yourself. You have a large number of issues that probably need to be dealt with despite your confident swagger. You suffer from abuse, neglect and loss you've never been able to proerly emotionally process, never letting yourself heal, because hiding your emotions is just easier. 4. Advice #2: VI - The Lovers Inverted I'd take this as simply, no. Deep interpersonal relationships aren't something for you. At least not for the moment. You should focus on healing yourself before commiting to an actual relationship.
