Let me read your cards

[Sniv]

I'm trying to justify owning 5 decks of tarot cards by actually learning to read them. It's turning out to be quite hard to learn without getting any practice (I'm not going to give my partner any more readings since the cards encouraged her to break up with me), so I thought I'd do some readings on here just for fun.

It'll be three cards: situation/action/outcome. I'd appreciate knowing if you felt it had any bearing or if it was a right load of twaddle.

Disclaimer: some people have astonishing powers of intuition. I don't, nor do I believe the future can be predicted, so please don't leave your partner/quit your job/run away and join the circus on the back of this. It's just for fun.

Oh also, what was great about the Tognetti book is that it illustrated how to do a "spread" and different spreads for different things

Thank you, but I don't have any plans of yet???

Please, if you're able to.

Oh noooooo don't run dry....only 12 more before me x

Yes please!

Me please x

Me please if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks @WildUnknown, that's very helpful. I've been browsing decks and I've ordered the Witches tarot. I love the art on the cards.

I keep refreshing in the hopes OP will be reinvigorated and reach me!

I think the OP may have bitten off more than she can chew. In the nicest possible way, I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks to those of you who have given your feedback and to tarot readers who have given me a peer review, as it were - it's cool how many have hit a mark of some sort, though frankly @GirlInterrupted I'm quite relieved someone has finally gone, "nope, that was twaddle"!

Anyway, I'm back for a few more

This reading refers to someone a bit thrilling, who's bringing fresh fun and excitement into your life. Getting swept up by them might be electrifying, giving you new energy to try things you'd never thought of before, but make sure you're not just being pulled along for the ride. You have power in this relationship too, so keep your head, and make sure you have a hand on the reins. Otherwise there's a risk that your thoughts and wants may get steamrollered, and the fun won't last.

You're feeling rightly proud of something you've achieved through your own hard work. It's tempting to think where you are now is good enough, and you can sit back and stop pushing yourself. This spread suggests you're not done yet - you have so much more potential. If you keep looking for new opportunities and new ways to apply your skills, you will keep growing and growing. Your journey has just begun, and nothing and no one can hold you back.

From what Sniv has written it seems really on the mark and quite detailed.

Each one must have taken quite a bit of effort.

Equally not holding my breath.

Me please!!

There is a source of pain in your life, something that an outsider would just tell you to walk away from, but that in real life it just isn't that easy. You have commitments, obligations and responsibilities, and you can't just cut yourself out of them all. However, it's time for a period of reflection where you look coldly and analytically at the situation to consider the changes you can make, even if they're small. It will still be a compromise, and it won't fix things overnight, but it will give you a little distance and the chance to look for a real way forward.

And @AnneOfTeenFables, I'm sure you can't fail to be disappointed by the hype, but here you are (drumroll):

Wheel of Fortune/Nine of Cups/Nine of Wands

Unexpectedly, a golden opportunity is about to fall into your lap - it's so surprising and exciting that it's tempting to ignore any questions and doubts, and just grab it with both hands. Of course all that glitters is not gold and it may be that this opportunity might not be as wonderful as seems. Make sure you know what you're getting into, or you might end up finding out the hard way.

Oh, Anne, I feel a bit bad giving you a ominous warning like that after all your posts! Please don't avoid a new partner/new job/running away and joining the circus off the back of it! Still, at least you can stop refreshing the thread now

@Sniv Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. It isn't what I had thought you might say - it sounds like an exciting new boyfriend, but perhaps I shouldn't dump my partner of several years - OR, I could interpret it differently to be about the 'life coach' I have a first appointment with this week? I had sort of hoped a reading might show up about another big thing that is on the horizon... maybe next time ;)

@bringbananas oh no, it sounds like I'm losing my touch! Still, beware that tall dark stranger

I'm up for one please!

Yes please!

@Sniv

I already requested a reading, I'm in the extremely long queue, but can I request you focus on my love life? Or doesn't it work like that?

Hi !
I know I am at the bottom of a long list .
When will I retire ? Will I be in good health?

Ooh, can I have one please? Going through a really hard financial period in our lives and can’t seem to be able to save anything. Have cut kids clubs and all days out to a minimum which is making me feel so guilty and a shit parent. Will it get better?

Adding my name to the request for a reading please!

Me please !! Please please please! Life’s been pretty tough recently, in every aspect. Is it going to get easier any time soon?

@Sniv thank you! Ooh, that sounds interesting. 'Golden opportunities' are always welcome even if they're actually burnished tat when you look a bit closer

I'd love to come across a tall dark stranger. I'm single for the first time in years
Waiting patiently for you to do mine, please OP
