Confuse
Just made an introduction thread a little while ago, so I'm new here. New to tarot as well, so bear with me as I try to make sense of this. (http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=138311 If you want to know more about me.)
I've been working on and off about 5 hours a day for the past 4 days just doing random readings about myself and coming up with some useful answers. Nothing really specific here, just some practice to get used to the cards. I'm still having ALOT of problems with the court cards, despite reading countless articles about them and trying to meditate over each one. This morning, I felt something in my life had changed quite dramatically and I went to do a Celtic Cross spread.
I litterally told the cards to show me an overview of my life, so this a very general spread. However, I ran into a rather shocking reading with 7 great arcana and court cards in the most confusing places. This is what I got and some of my thoughts on them:
No reversals, Universal Tarot. (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/universal-2/)
1: Present The High Priestess II
This card is talking about some of the self development I have done recently, I've come to great epiphanies working with the cards and meditating, with my subconscious learning things my conscious has not.. in the process of shifting that knowledge around.
2: Immediate Challenge Justice XI
This card utterly confused me.. I'm not dealing with any legal matters, in fact the only real issue I'm having right now is trying to convince a friend to open up a bit so she can better her life. Besides that, it's just me feeling lonely and deprived in a material sense.
3: Distant Past The Fool 0
Probably relating to me really beginning to study the occult about 5 months ago. (I've lived with psychic people and abilities, used them as well. But I never began to apply them fully until then.)
4: Recent Past The Hanged Man XII
I think this card could be about a recent decision I just made, before then I was just kind of existing not doing much of anything while I was trying to decide.
5: Best Outcome The King of Pentacles
Erhm... help?
6: Near Future Death
Doesn't shock me... 4th time in a row I've gotten death as a near future or present card. Just the dramatic change in my life that's about to happen. In most other cases it was usually surrounded by either the star or moon.
7: Factors Affecting Situation The Tower XVI
I'm not quite sure how this is to be interpreted, it goes hand in hand with death, but..
8: External Influences 8 of Pentacles
Intuition states that this card is referring to how I'm finishing up my work to receive the benefits. Adding the polishing touches.
9: Hopes and Fears Knave (Page) of Wands, The Wheel X, 9 of Wands
The court card wasn't really saying much to me so I chose to draw two more cards to elaborate on it... still not much help
10: Final Outcome Knight of Swords, Knave (Page) of pentacles, Ace of Pentacles
Same thing as above, two more cards to elaborate... and still so confused.
Anyone's insight would be appreciated here, this is by far the most dramatic set of cards I've gotten, and the first that's truly confused me.
EDIT: Just got Justice again in another spread for the problem..
