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

@Sodthesystemif you are still doing these, any chance I could have one? Feeling down and deflated lately

Sorry @Sodthesystemjust saw your so ignore request 😌

I wasn't going to do anymore but we can't have you down and deflated now can we!

I'll also do the poster before you because it wouldn't be very fair otherwise.

(Everyone I didn't do like - '?!?!??!??' right now xD. Sorry all).

So windy, I'll keep it short

I draw cards 'the autumn equinox - release' and the 'Passion' card. The autumn equinox is actually the 22 of september so that could be an indication you'll be shaking off this heavy feeling you're in at the minute in and around then.

Release and passion together implies to me that you've been feeling stuck in a funk. Perhaps, listless or feeling stuck in a repeating, frustrating cycle. You need to shake things up.

When I was drawing your cards I was also thinking of flowers. I think it might be nice if you can treat yourself to a bouquet and put them in a place in your home you can enjoy them. It might bring a bit of softness into your life right now. Alternatively, a flower based perfume or, just getting out in nature more and smelling the flowers. (Assuming youre not deathly allergic here haha).

Words like fertility (can also be associated with spring and abundance) holiday and travel came up.

As did the three of swords. Often heartbreak or illness or depression. So these may be things that you have been dealing with.

I feel you need to focus on finding some joy again. And be softer with yourself. Bad things happen but you can only do your best. So don't beat yourself up for the things you got wrong. Focus on being kind to yourself and looking for little ways to bring back in some joy. Build those up to bigger ways.

An affirmation card also reads 'stay hungry, stay foolish and never stop chasing your dreams'. Basically, you do you. It's all good. It's ok to be a dreamer and a sillyheart. You'll get to where you want to be someday.

...i did not infact, keep it short lol.

Ok so, I don't want to give you advse that could go against a medical professional so obviously your best bet is going to be to talk with people who know this road and also, those who have similar issues. AA is probably a good place to start.

But I did draw 'Now is the time'.
It made me think, that there's always going to be a 'oh but what about this and that and what iif there's a better time'. There's always a this and that. That's life. And chances are there's never going to be a better time to work on something that will improve your life, than now.

I feel like I want to say, you've probably been through some hard shit. And all that hard shit you went through, you got through it. And yes, of course you didn't get through it unscathed. No one ever goes through hell and comes out smelling like jasmine and orange blossom. But this is just one more hard thing.

And if there are other things in your life still feeding into your addictions - I asked the cards here and draw

The 2 of pentacles. Juggling.
And the 9 of pentacles, thought, reflection, personal journey.

Look to let go of the things in your life (that you can) that could cause you to fail on your journey.
And know that whilst introspection is good, overthinking is not. Take things one step at a time. Work the programme as the say. There will be good days and there will be not so good days. But you need to take the steps either way. And know that on the days you do fall - you are absolutely capable of getting back up again. Believe that.

I draw the dawn card. New beginnings. This feels like a happy omen.

Wishing you all the best with the journey!

Yes please. Will I get a job I enjoy. Thank you

For poster directly above.

'Healing, healed, healer - healing energy surrounds you and this situation'

I draw a card 'pregnacy' and funnily enough from another deck 'rebirth'.

Don't want to be a midwife do you? xD

I feel the cards point towards a career helping people. One that you will feel really motivated and...trying to find the words... Like you are brimming with ideas, motivation and enthusiasm.

The cards also talk about going after what you want and ASKING for what you want. Practicing being assertive.

I also feel a vision board might be of use to you. Help you visualise what you want and take steps to achieve it.

I draw the death card, the sun card and the 4 of wands. A new beginning and something to celebrate.

Funnily enough I thought I'd just draw one last card and - 'New career' popped out. It reads that your work focus is shifting in a new and positive direction'.

So...yes!

Right, better dash before anymore questions come in xD

Readings are all done guys but link to my Etsy is on the page before this one if you still want one.

** 9 of wands (not pentacles)

I'm In the mood

Hit me with it! 😁

Yes please

Ive gone nc with my mother as she has become increasingly abusive told me im a bad person ans always have been. Shut the door on me for life. I've heard nothing for over a year. Does she care if im dead?

I had an abusive childhood and extensive counselling, my dad is dead. Where do I turn

Anyone have a link to the most recent 'but we took you to stately homes' thread for the above poster? (For mumsnetters who have narcissistic parents).

I dropped her a message about it but I can't for the life of me find them. Maybe she will have better luck though.

@Sodthesystemthank you so much that was kind of you, and I think def rings true for alot of things going on. Being in a bit of a funk def relates. I’ll take your advice on board, thank you again

Found a stately homes thread but I'm not sure if it's the most recent as it's full up.

In other news, I've treated myself to a little box set of sample perfumes as a treat from the Etsy work so thankyou so much to everyone that has popped in. I'm perfume daft so I'm going to have fun deciding on a new autumn scent :)

this one?

Enjoy your perfume!

Oh awesome, thankyou! Couldn't find the bloomin thing.

Thanks talula!

OP @Sodthesystem Thank you for your contribution to many people's lives. It has been a help to me certainly. You are gifted, somethings are just unexplainable, any ideas?

As for @SnowFrogJelly helpfully pointing out advertising is banned, more than willing to bet she reported you too. Sounds a joy filled person. hopefully poor old MN are not getting too much grief from her/,his joyless complaints. I am sure there has been plenty😅 I am glad she failed and glad Mumsnet allowed the thread to continue.

I wish you the best of luck in your new business, you definately have a talent. Finally please PM me with the link to your Etsy store if it can't get on it. Peace and Love. You definately have a gift. See you again.

Hi cruising, to be fair to her I had to keep posting 'etsy store' at the top of each update to let people know it was an update on what was happening so it probably looked kinda sus to keep having that come up in your feed for a bit xD

Theres a post with 3 links to individual spreads on the page before this if it still works (for me its page 30 of 31 but I know ppl have different page numbers). Thats probably your best bet as for some reason the links seem to change a bit over pm.

Haha thanks love, I don't think I'd say i was gifted, xD just lots of practice reading the cards (largely thanks to this thread too :) ) Travel a road often enough and we usually can find where we are going xD that's my theory anyway (says someone who can get lost in a supermarket).

The first of the three links seems to be working fine. Just click on that and scroll down the page and you'll see 'Celesteshui' which will take you to me :)

Actually the post above it with just one link seems to work fine for me too and take me straight there but I know it didn't for some folk.

Isn't the internet fun xD

Hi @Sodthesystem, I hope you are keeping well. I've come back here to thank you so much and tell you how accurate you reading has been. I am literally smashing it at work right now and facing every challenge with positivity.
I did indeed have an offer that I almost took but my gut told me it was icky in the end so I declined.
I can't wait to see what the rest of this year and next brings my way. Fingers crossed for everything good.

Thats fantastic, glad to hear it's all been going well! Just picked up the ace of wands card there for you so it looks like you'll really take charge and forge ahead with your own path as the year continues :)

Happy holidays xx

@Sodthesystem I’m a natural sceptic but your reading for me was so accurate even though it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. My question was around a job application. I’m working for that organisation but not in the role I wanted which is pretty much what I took from your reading. I’m temporarily here until March but hoping they keep me on! But thanks again.

Could I have a reading please?

@MessageMystery
Hey m'dear this is an old thread but I have an Etsy store if you ever want to purchase one.
The links are on the page before this one (post date 4th of September).
