Today I decided to use the Sorcerers Tarot. I found this interesting spread for Love and Relationships that I had to try. The first card represents the person who is asking for the information (me). What is my position in love? For this card I drew the Two of Wands. This card symbolizes ambition. It is saying I have a desire to go far (in love), and to do things never done before (by me). I want to follow a dream and to leave room for desires.
     The second card would be about the person I am in interested in. It relates to the situation of the man. For this card I drew the Ten of Pentacles. This card symbolizes family and accepting a bond. It is about living among others, exerting personal authority, and recognizing one's affinities with someone else.
     The third card reveals the information on changes and challenges in our future together. For this card I drew the Six of Pentacles. This card symbolizes impulsiveness,  turning to other, overcoming a prejudice, seeing beauty in ugliness, and not thinking of oneself.
     So what I get from this reading is that I am looking to follow my dreams for love with this man. He is accepting the bond and recognizing his affinity with me. Together one or the other or both of us will be overcoming prejudices towards each other, seeing beauty in each of our uglinesses, turning to each others and not just thinking of ourselves. I think that I may be the one learning to thinking of another outside of myself. He may be overcoming prejudices.

I drew these cards yesterday but only had time to post about them today. Already I have seen some of them come about, I think. The Ring card about a marriage taking place I think refers to a student I just confirmed taking on to tutor today. The Goldfish card may apply to how I will increase my material wealth by being paid to tutor. News on the way might be the email I got earlier today from the owner of the tutoring business who sent me a message about the student, and when I would meet her. The Pail card might have to do with the fact that this morning was my last day working at a temporary job, so I left the place I was working at i.e. it was time to get out of that situation. The Boot card may be talking about either my job hunting efforts or my tutoring. In both cases I need to work on them. I haven't experienced either success or victory yet, except getting the tutoring job, but since it came up in two cards, I think it may refer to more than one thing. I put in an application today, and may put in another few in the next few days, so maybe one of these places will hire me. I will put down more things that happened to me during this week, that I think may be what the cards are referring to, as they occur.

I did a reading for the coming week. I think the Grasshopper applies to the work I will be doing this week, which is very exacting and required to be done as quickly as possible. There is also a Broken Ring, which may have to do with the project at this job being over some time this week. The Crib card I think might apply to the tutoring job that I have been waiting to be contacted about. They have been waiting for my background check to come in. This card may be telling me that they get it, so I can start working for them. The Carriage card may have to do with a class that I have scheduled on Tuesday night, where I have to travel a short distance out of my usual way. Also, Wednesday I have to hurry from my temp job to another tutoring job I have. The card may just be saying that I am going to do a lot of traveling this week, between work and classes. The Axe and Clouds cards may indicate a situation I have with another temp job I had, where I was complained about to the agency that placed me. The situation has really gotten me down, and maybe it is saying that there are forces working against me, but that my problems are temporary, and as the Camel card says, if I just persevere, I will overcome the problems. I have the option of writing this place and defending myself. It is possible the Grasshopper card has to do with this situation, and it is telling me to be careful. Not very happy cards for this week I am afraid. I like this spread in that feedback will be soon. It doesn't have to do with life shattering events, I don't think but things that are day to day.

Regarding the Tea Leaf Fortune Cards reading I did a week ago, something happened that I think applies to it. I just received a letter from a temporary employer who wrote me to tell me that there had been a complaint about my job performance at a job I recently worked. The letter was written 3 days after I did the reading. Even though it is about a job, I feel that the reading applied to this because the person I am most romantically interested in I know from a job (not the same job) and how I did on the job I had trouble with affects my feelings about the job I know the guy from, and consequently affects my feeling for him. Anyway, I started to get a feeling they had complained about me 3 days after the reading, but didn't get the letter until today. My intuition was correct as the Eye card told me, that someone was against me, as the Vulture card said. But since all the cards are supposed to be linked together, the Rainbow card tells me that the most difficult part of a situation is behind me, which is true, as it was a temp job and I won't be going back there. I am just concerned that this situation will repeat itself, and don't know if the card is telling me that it won't. I guess time will tell.

I still don't have any sign of what the last row has to do with. I still think that it is something that will happen in 4 months.

Tea Leaf Fortune Cards

I just got the Tea Leaf Fortune Cards recently and was eager to use them. This is the second edition of the cards and was designed by Rae Hepburn and illustrated by Shawna Alexander. They are published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

I used a spread from the book called The Astral House Pyramid Method. I did a reading about Love a couple of days ago, which is what the top card shows. The next row down are things that can occur in 2 days, 2 weeks, or 2 months. I drew Dogs and Clouds. We are supposed to try to link the cards up in the order they come in, so I interpreted them to mean I would get together with what I consider to be friends, and then there would be temporary problems. My sister and her family just came over today to celebrate her birthday. There were some minor squabbles, and they left after a little over an hour, just eating the food my mother had spent all day cooking. She had spent yesterday and today cleaning up the house for them. It was a big deal to her, and they could only stay for an hour. She was pretty disappointed, but its not the end of the world.

The next level shows things that will happen in 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months. The first card is Vulture, which signifies that something will cause me to fell depressed and anxious. I will worry that someone is against me. The Eye card tells me that I should trust my intuition, so I think that this is telling me that my feelings are correct and somebody will be against me, but the Rainbow card after that shows that the most difficult part of the situation that I am worried about will be over. So I interpret that as even though people may be waiting for me to make a misstep, I have dealt with the most difficult part of the situation, and things will be much easier for me in the future. This is something to do with romance. I have a feeling this will be in either 3 weeks or 3 months.

The final level shows things that will happen in 4 days, 4 weeks or 4 months. The first card is the Ring. This signifies that a marriage will take place either romantic or business. Since this reading is about love, I would say it is telling me that I will get married in 4 months. I am not even dating anyone right now, so there is no way I am getting married in 4 days. Neither do I think 4 weeks is a possibility. The only thing that could be possible is in 4 months. So to link up the cards the next card is the Rat. This signifies that there will be someone working against me behind my back. I would guess this person would be trying to break up the marriage. There is a warning with the card to be careful what I say and do as it could be used against me. This includes accusing anyone of being the rat, as it could come back to haunt me. After the Rat comes the Heart card. The heart card signifies that I have feelings of deep love and affection for someone who feels the same for me. So again since this is a love reading, I'm guessing it is saying that the Rat is working to break us up, but our love still remains. The final card is the Younger Woman card. This signifies that I will have important dealings with a younger woman. She may be friend or foe. She may be the Rat from earlier. She may be someone totally different. I suspect that the man I am interested in has a daughter in her teens. I do not know anything else about her. She could have nothing at all to do with the Rat, but she will be important as a result of the marriage and love. I do not think she is a baby.

I just got this deck so I am not too familiar with it. I wondered what the chances were for me to get two very positive cards that are pretty definitely about romance in the deck. There is 182 cards in the deck of which 18 aren't used for readings. That leaves 164 cards out of which I found 6 which I could say definitely had something to do with romance and only 5 were positive. I got 2 of those 5. So I would say that if the cards are at all accurate they are saying pretty definitely that there is a big romance in my future. So far, they have been reasonably accurate, if the events of today are anything to go by. But only time will tell. If things start happening the way the cards say they will, then I will have some forewarning about what I need to be careful about in those situations in the future.
