Notes from a rambling fortuneteller:
Okay, I'm going to pull this one, because it's a 9-card. And whilst it's not exactly the same as other readings on the subject (well you just knew somebody was going to bring up their non-existent love life, didn't you?), it's more or less been a running theme for months now - maybe one or two cards are different or in a different position, but let's take this as a generic, and see what we find with card combos. Yes, I'm willing to embarass myself somewhat here.
24 Ace Hearts Heart/29 Ace Spades Lady/23 7 Clubs Mice
25 Ace Clubs Ring/2 6 Diamonds Clover/19 6 Spades Tower
26 10 Diamonds Book/10 Jack Diamonds Scythe/30 King Diamonds Lillies
And since it's not a full 36 cards, I'll look at how many of which things I've got first for a quick hit, because that has been downright eerie on the accuracy levels, and these usually show up quite quickly after the reading - not always in connection with what the reading is about if it is a question but they give you an idea of general things that are going to happen.
So first:
A modest success (3 Aces)
A short journey that will be profitable (2 10s)
Persistent spite (2 6s)
On to the rest of it:
We have our typical lovelorn hysterical female here (it's me I'm stereotyping folks, and I'm almost laughing because it is indeed true, well, not too hysterical), who's been thinking far too much about romance, and getting heartsick and a bit ill over it (Heart + Lady + Mice). And it's kind of shaking up her sense of stability as well (Mice + Tower). No recent break-ups, so I'm guessing that's how this one is playing out - that's how it feels, anyway.
But wait! Now what's this in the down row? The Heart, the Ring, and the Book? Shouldn't she be having a clandestine love affair here (well, maybe not a full-blown affair, cos the Lillies aren't there, but a clandestine love something?). Only she isn't. Stumped on this one - again, it's been a recurring for me for months - sometimes with the Dog, and the Clouds, but they didn't make an appearance today.
It also seems that Ring + Clover + Tower would be something on the romance front since it's a romance reading, but it ain't there. No quickie engagements. No quickie anythings, for that matter.
But then we have Book + Scythe + Lillies (ah, there are Lillies, but much good it'll do our Lady). Okay, I saw in Seaqueen's blog that if the Scythe comes after the Book, you never find out the mystery - and this may be something that happened long ago that's going to come back - and still never be resolved. I think I know what it is, and possibly concerns my father (which could be Lillies). Scythe + Lillies would/could be a couple breaking up, but it's not about our querent, cos she'd need somebody to break up with.
What can we tell our poor querent? To get her mind off it because it just isn't there?
If anybody wants to take a stab, feel free. Just stab gently. There's a real person underneath those cards!
And Seaqueen you were spot-on re: Mountain + Key + Book the other day. Got a tarot deck as a gift in the post (recent birthday). Got another late birthday gift (another tarot deck -but it was missing a card). And got an offer for a part-time job at an educational institution.
