Would you like a Tarot Reading?

[CiciEnixa]

I’ve always liked Tarot cards and think they’re real neat. So I was really happy to finally get myself my own deck recently. Since I haven’t done actual readings before, I thought it’d be fun to practice readings for you guys.

My deck is called the Tarot of the Divine, and the fun part about it is it has illustrations of stories from different places and cultures. I’ll be sharing the story as well because the story may also have some personal connection with you.

Examples of things you can ask:
1. General forecast of the coming month
2. Specific question, focus, or situation
3. States of your mind, body, spirit
4. Past, present, future

Try not to ask anything too complicated, and please don’t ask about things that aren’t your business to ask about.

Again, I am a beginner and this is just fun learning, so interpretations are likely gonna be weird and not make sense. I don’t know how many would be requesting a reading but I’ll probably not do more than 10. If you are very knowledgeable with Tarot cards, feel free to do interpretations as well, I’d love to learn, too

[Psychobott]

Ooh, sounds fun! I also like Tarot reading but never had any actual experience with it aside from seeing it in movies, games and novels. Can I ask the question in number four?

[Suisid]

Can I ask the number 3 please?

[CiciEnixa]

Hi Psychobott! This will be an overall reading on your Past, Present, and Future.

THE PAST - Three of Coins

Banjhakri and Banjhakrini (NEPAL, Tamang Mythology)
The Three of Coins represents learning from one another. The fierce Banjhakri and Banjhakrini teach their apprentice how to become a shaman. They are demanding teachers, but their student is dedicated. All three put in hard work that pays off with the success of a new generation.

THE PRESENT - The Hanged Man (reversed)

Sleeping Beauty (ITALY, Italian Fairy Tale)
The Hanged Man ceases forward momentum to avoid disaster and instead favors reflection. Sleeping Beauty is a symbol of stasis, with the options of sleep or death, she chooses to wait for more favourable conditions.

However, the reverse indicates willfulness, useless sacrifice, rushing, thoughtlessness, martyrdom.

THE FUTURE - Queen of Swords

Turandot (CHINA, Arabic Folk Tale)
The Queen of Swords is a fierce and exacting force. Turandot does not forget betrayal, so her judgments, while fair and principled, seem brutal and cold. Still, she is open-minded and intelligent, and can be charming and witty when she chooses.

Overall reading:
The lessons and skills you dedicated yourself to in the past will continue to help you in the present and future. The present is a dangerous and uncertain time. You might be tempted to rush in and act hastily, but this will only result in disaster. Be patient, and move forward when you feel ready. Through your past learnings and patience, you can make wise decisions for yourself and for others. Still, be mindful that your well-meaning actions can appear harsh to others if you’re not careful.

I hope that however you may interpret this, it gives you good insight all the same.

Aaah, I haven't done tarot readings in forever, but it's so much fun! Can I get a general month forecast reading, please? And good luck with your learning!

[CiciEnixa]

Hi Suisid, this will be a reading on your state of Mind, Body, and Spirit. I was a bit surprised to draw Major Arcana for all three. Perhaps these have a larger effect in your life than you might realize, or they are a result of major events in your life.

THE MIND - The Emperor (reversed)

King Arthur (BRITAIN, Celtic Legend)
The Emperor is the ideal father figure. A warrior and a conqueror, King Arthur rules over his kingdom and his sometimes-unruly knights with a just and firm hand. He unifies the fractious, defends the weak, and lends his knowledge and understanding to all his subjects.

However, the reverse indicates immaturity, pettiness, rigidity, domination, anger

Reading:
It may be that you are troubled and emotionally conflicted. You get frustrated when you don’t get your way, and it ends up blurring your ability to think rationally.

THE BODY - The Sun (reversed)

Sun God Ra (EGYPT, Egyptian Deity)
The Sun is success, birth, confidence after passing through difficult times. Egyptian Sun God Ra proves everything is illuminated with optimism and enthusiasm for the path ahead.

However, the reverse indicates missed opportunities, delays, doubt, fear of missing out, depression

Reading:
You may not be feeling your best at the moment. If something doesn’t feel right with your body, it may be wise to get it checked out. Even if you might doubt it’s anything serious, it’s better to know for sure and catch it as early as possible.

THE SPIRIT - The Magician

The Fairy Godmother (FRANCE, French Fairy Tale)
The Magician is a helping hand. She has the ability to change raw materials into something wonderful, and dreaming into doing. But she is only the helping hand; it is up to the protagonist to use her support, moving forward to do the right thing.

Reading:
Honestly first thoughts on interpretation were “you’ve got some good vibes”. You are in tune with the world and are able to support others well. You’re able to judge how to go about things and create a better path where none is available.

Since I don't really know what your current situation may be, this may not be on point at all. Still, I hope you're able to care for yourself in mind, body and spirit.

Your cards are lovely

What can they say about my health? Will it get better any time soon? I'm so tired of being ill.

[Suisid]

thank you for the reading and I think it was on point. I appreciate your effort, and I hope you can get the point that you want to reach.

[CiciEnixa]

Thank you, crisyah, it really is a lot of fun And I do feel like I’m learning much more than when I didn’t have my own deck yet, even if I’m still pretty unsure.

Now, on to next month’s forecast!

Ace of Swords (reversed)

Gordian Knot (TURKEY, Greek Legend)
The Ace of Swords represents a sudden burst of inspiration. A new solution, a new way of thinking to break through a problem. Slicing through the Gordian Knot begins a campaign to conquer new lands.

However, the reverse indicates lack of communication, misinformation, rigidity, confusion

Reading:
Seems like a bit of trouble in the coming month, though nothing grim. You may face a lot of issues that will seem overwhelming as they pile and twist into each other, but you will power through. Perhaps all it takes is a new perspective on things, and understanding the problem by communicating with those who know more about it.

[lunagraves714]

These readings sound really interesting! Could I also have a forecast for the coming month?

[Stargazer31]

Can I please have number 4? Thanks in advance!

[CiciEnixa]

Thank you, it's mainly why I eventually chose this deck.

For the reading on your health...

Nine of Swords (reversed)

Oedipus (GREECE, Greek mythology)
The Nine of Swords represents decision-making controlled by anxiety. The Oracle at Delphi warns the king that his son, Oedipus, will one day kill him. Had he not let his fears control him and raised his son in love instead of hate, the king’s eventual death could have been avoided.

The reverse indicates recovery, acceptance, letting go, accepting help, hope

Reading:
There’s much turmoil in you, from the toll of being ill and the worries and anxiety that come with it. But the hope of recovery is there and you may already be on the road to better health, even if it’s not apparent yet. Don’t be afraid to reach out for support. Having loved ones help you get through each day will do you much good.

I will cheer you on as you recover, mcarrowolga!

[CiciEnixa]

I'll continue the readings tomorrow, tis quite late already where I am! But feel free to ask away here.

[Psychobott]

Surprisingly, I relate to this. Thank you for the reading! It was fun. I'll definitely try to keep tabs on my actions. I honestly want to ask more but I'll save it for the others. Good luck with your Tarot learning and thank you

[mcarrowolga]

Thank you
And again: those cards of yours are awesome!

[vapidink]

I'd love a monthly forecast! Almost went for the #4 option just so I could see more pretty cards.

[ApplesOverIndia]

I'd love a month forecast! I've always loved tarot readings

[Dialusion]

This is super interesting, especially since I'm pretty interested in the Tarot as well! I'll throw out a question too for fun, but I am curious about the outcome. I'll go with number 2 and specifically ask this:

"What does my romantic future look like? Not specifically for any one person, but on a general level."

[HippieGhost]

AS A FELLOW PRACTITIONER I AM OBLIGED TO GIVE YOU THE CHANCE.

I OFFER THE BEATING HEART OF THE FIRST DANCE OF SPRING, AND THE PAIN OF BEING KNOWN BY THE UNKNOWN.

I ASK NO QUESTION. THE CARDS KNOW WHAT THEY MUST TELL ME.

hit me.

[KiabIce]

Hi I would like to ask about my a
current or future situation. Will I ever find the love of my life? Thank you
