Anyone fancy a quick tarot card reading? (I need practice)

[Sodthesystem]

Trying to get better at reading the cards.

Anyone got something they want a quick answer too? Yes/no questions are ideal for the sake of speed but if you really want to know something else feel free to ask.

I'm NOT a psychic so you'll probably need to give some context. Just whatever you are comfortable with.

Just for fun guys. Don't take it too serious x

Thank you so much! I thought you were just too deluged with asks to respond to mine so really appreciate you taking the time to go back through them all.

I can say this really resonates with the situation I’m facing. So very interesting….

There's something to do with 'the devil' (deals with the 7 deadly sins but also, having been 'wronged'). And law or legal matters.

It could be talk of injustice. Or this new career being linked to criminal law.

Of course it could be saying that after a period of injustice (or, over indulgence in other things), contracts will come about.

I suppose, bringing rule to the unruly could apply to teaching youngsters. But that's a jump on my part.

Is my mum going to drift off soon/peacefully? 🥲

Thank you so much 💓 @Sodthesystem I really appreciate you taking the time.

I read it a few times but I'm not sure I fully understand.... there's been no injustice (AFAIK) unless going to five interviews and being 2nd choice five times(!!) is maybe an injustice! I'm feeling very down about it.

I'm not a teacher nor do I teach kids... more working in an admin (or similar) role for an educational organisation.

Do you see that? Thanks sooo much.

Ah I wondered as nothing fixed come up for education so I was clutching at straws as to what might fit there assuming it was teaching you were asking about.

The thing I was picturing though is those people who take note of what's happening in court. Which is sort of admin I suppose.

Injustice can absolutely apply to feeling unfairly past over for positions yes.

What I'm not sure on is where the devil comes in or what that means for you. It usually deals with vices or malignancy. And I'm not sure how they apply to job hunting.

Twice over, both the justice card and the devil card came out. I just don't know what they're trying to say. Maybe look into them yourself and you can let me know when and if whatever it is trying to tell us makes sense.

My life is a total shit show at the moment. Help!

Hi twonewcats, thought I better respond to you fast for such a question so I'll break the que for you. I dont ask questions regarding life and death and serious health as it feels too much like dabbling in areas we aught not to.

However, I drew a card for advice for you during this time. It speaks of maintaining a positive air as people absorb what is in their vicinity. People sense what is around them and having warmth and smiles from those close to them can help to bring peace and comfort.

Don't forget to be kind to yourself too.

Thank you @Sodthesystem

Did a bit of research and had a think and I feel its about feeling desperate and worthless after my job search, getting interviews but not being successful. This has been really hard for me, not to boast, but in my life I've been blessed enough to normally receive a job offer after an interview. So it's hit me hard, made me feel pretty worthless. I would say that's what the card is depicting... so, now, I'm not going to let my job search make me feel so down!

The justice card.. hmm 'jury' is out on thoughts on that for now 😉 I'll have a deeper think.

If you don't mind, and I won't ask again as you've been so kind to do this for everyone and I dont want to hog,....would you mind concentrating on me and pulling one card which will be the guidance for my 'new' positive thoughts/feelings I'm going to make myself feel for job applications going forward.

Thank you so much, you've been wonderful to do this for everyone.

(NOTE TO ALL - THIS IS ME STARTING TO REPLY TO POSTS ON PAGE 5).

Hey sunflowerintherain

Hmm...how to put this into words...

Sometimes our past becomes a self fulfilling loop. And even when we come to terms with us (obviously) not being to blame for our childhood, we may still blame ourselves for things that have happened in adulthood as a direct result of our childhoods.

The battle becomes recognising this pattern and confronting that so as not to get stuck in toxic patterns, shame and self blame.

And after all that, there comes this overwhelming sadness. As counter intuitive as it may seem: if you have got to this stage, you are already healing. Because you can look back at that child you were and say "I didn't deserve any of that".

The wheel of fortune talks about how the future, can always change. It urges you to look at how far you've come. (Even if you don't feel it) you have done wonderfully just getting this far and you should be so very proud of yourself.

The temperance card asks you to be patient and kind with yourself. Everything has a cycle and you will get through this.

It may seem odd to say to 'forgive yourself' because, it's not like anything was your fault. But sometimes the body holds onto this childhood feeling of "what have I done to deserve this?". And you have to recognise that and confront it. To get it out of the way before you can grieve.
I don't know if you have done this yet.

If not, I suggest writing a letter to your childhood self and telling her that none if it was her fault and she is so loved.

Because anger and shame are far harder to shake than grief.

Wishing you all the best on your journey xx

I'm only sorry I couldn't give more clarity! I'm as stumped as you on this one.

So I draw the world card.
Which makes me think of expansion. That feeling that anything is possible. And that there's so many wonderful things to step out and experience.

A world of opportunity awaits :)

If you see this message… please could I have one? I’m going through a lot right now.

You are amazing for doing this - I am patiently waiting for mine!

I draw the strength card.

Indicating either that this is a time where you will need to be strong. Or, that this new job is one you will feel more confident in than prior roles.

There is talk of "powering through this".

An affirmation card reads "dreams are worth pursuing, set ambitious goals and work tirelessly to turn them into reality".

@Sodthesystem
Thank you very much for doing this, I've been eager to see the outcome.

It really makes sense. I've had a quick look at the cards meaning too and reflecting on what you said, I really have came a long way particularly this last year and I feel reassured I can keep putting the work in to get the results I need.

I haven't wrote a letter to my younger self, this is a good idea and might be therapeutic. This is something I will look to do once schools are back and normal routine resumes. Can I just say how incredibly kind you are to take time out to do this, Thank you again.

Aw thanks @Sodthesystem 💐

Is my marriage going to last? Is my daughter going to be ok?

Should I stay in my job or give it up to be 'free'.

I can see you have a long, long list, so will be patient but I have a question that has been bugging me for a while.

Did he deliberately ghost me or was it a missed communication? I had thought we were friends

Thank you

I think you may get better or at least, start to feel more positive about your situation much quicker than you expected (8 of wands).

A card jumped out of my affirmation cards "the thoughts are the architects of destinies. Energy is key".

There is a lot of swords energy. It makes me think of the best defence being a strong offence.
Swords are also the suit of action.

You do have some power over this. If nothing else, in terms of keeping positive.

I get that Taylor swift song, shake it off.
If you are capable of physical exercise I feel dancing might help with your mood. Otherwise, whenever you feel a mood spiral beginning, try to physically do something to take your mind off things. Not to sit and ruminate.

Obviously one can think of all the rainbows and puppies they want but it won't cure cancer.

But part of the battle is mindset.

I see a dream, nurtured into something more. A good dream. Find that and focus on that and making it a reality. A vision board may be helpful. If ever you find intrusive thoughts getting too much, move, do some sort of physical shift. Or get up and think, what can I add to my vision board next? Even if you don't pursue the things you put on the board, it will be a place of joy that is tangible for you that bad thoughts don't get to touch.

I wonder if this has already been an area of sadness for you as I can see someone crying.

There is the 7 of cups card which is concerned with discerning between dreams, illusions and falsehoods. It also talks of masks. That we see the masks people wear but not always what is behind them. Warning perhaps that the face we see in public isn't always the same in private.

There is however, the lovers card. So that might suggest that this colleague has thought of you romantically or at least, lustfully. It may be that they too wears a mask to hide their feelings.

I tried to ask regarding feelings and it seems s/he thinks you are a breath of fresh air or refreshing. I think you mught be stirring something. But that these feelings are very much in their infancy.

I am being shown scales and it makes me think of being careful not to put someone on a pedestal. Not necessarily because they don't deserve to be thought highly of, but just because it means that anything begins, does so on uneven footing.

A message about being no one's second choice came up. This might be a future feeling you have perhaps.

The hireophant. This card is concerned with spiritual ties and also official institutions like marriage or things like the nuclear family.

However it may be saying that spiritually, you can count on the light and, the dark to act a certain way.

Light uplifts, warms, nourishes, brings joy and strength and companionship. It gives.

Darkness...stifles, diminishes, chills, brings insecurity, uncertainty and loss. It takes.

To consider which this person belongs to and how therefore, you can count on them to act. And what should be your course of action should be if they return, based on that.

Alternatively, this person may be going through emotional or mental distress and feel better off in their own company. I draw the ten of swords which suggests someone suffering with exhaustion.

I am pulled in two directions
The eight of pentacles suggesting staying and working on the current situation and the six of swords suggesting moving on to pastures new.

I heard strongly the name 'Hecate' there which freaked me out a little (And promptly replied to it in my head "I am not a witch" xD).

But decided to Google her incase there was info on her of relevance to this reading. It turns out she is also associated with crossroads.
It might be worthwhile to look her up to see if anything of her story/legend is relevant to your situation.

There is also something about mountain vs volcano. Perhaps symbolising the passive choice vs the choice of action. I'm a firm believer that we create our destiny, it's not just something that happens to us. Id therefore say, make the choice to make A choice.

Let me know a question or general area to refine it to and I will reply straight back x

Should I start saving to move to another area?

Will things work out ok in my job?

Thanks☺️

Amazing thank you - will my dd and her dp be successful with their one funded shot at IVF ? X
