I figured I would officially start this blog off with a tarot reading. I am going to keep it pretty simple with a three card spread, typically referred to as the Past-Present-Future spread. As you have probably already concluded, each of the cards drawn represents one of the three mentioned aspects of time in the name of the spread. For this spread, I shuffled the deck, then split it three ways. For this particular reading, I used the tarot deck that belonged to my mother from when she had first started practicing in her youth. It is a Cagliostro deck, and I seem to have a rather high accuracy rate with it.
With the spread being a simple three card spread, it is best used to get more of just a general outlook and energy for a situation. If you want more specifics on a particular matter, it is best to use a larger spread. With this in mind, I just asked generally what I could expect from 2013 since my luck has been a little less than stellar lately.
The Past (representing past influences that may be affecting the present and future situations)
The Queen of Spades
This card represents sadness, mourning, and loneliness. As I mentioned before, I have not had the best bout of luck as of late. Decade long friendships have ended, boyfriends and lovers have come and gone, not to mention the usual issues I've always had with electronics and automobiles.
The Present (representing the present situation)
The Queen of Diamonds
This card represents the urge to nurture and be nurtured. I have always had the strong urge to help and protect those I care about, and lately these feeling have been intensified. I've been saying protective chants under my breath around my friends and family, while at the same time feeling strangely disconnected from those same people.
The Future (the probable outcome based on the events leading up to the time of the reading)
The Empress
This card represents good tidings and is a symbol of hope becoming more real with each passing day. In conjunction with the other cards, and giving that this is a simple three card spread, the message seems to say that 2013 should be a better year for me. Good things shall happen this year that will outweigh the negativity I have recently endured.
Now I do have to caution that the Tarot, while a wonderful tool of divination, is just that. A tool. The future is not set in stone. The choices that we make can change the outcome. Like any tool of divination, it is just supposed to provide insight, not be taken as an unshakeable, unchangeable truth.
And that concludes the first tarot reading for the blog. :) Til next time.
