Tarot help needed
Jun. 2nd, 2012 12:59 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
valarltdI do fine with readings for other people, but my own cards elude me.
Today, my Dark Angel Tarot leaped into my hands. I gave it the usual seven fold shuffle and triple cut.
The Hierophant leaped from the deck during shuffling.
The rest of the spread is under here
The situation as it stands:
2 of Pentacles, 7 of Pentacles, The Devil
What I need to know:
Temperence, Death, 3 of cups
What I can control:
The Empress, The Tower, The Sun
What I cannot control:
Judgement, 7 of cups, The Wheel of Fortune
Outcome:
10 of swords, 3 of pentacles, The World
Tying it together:
Queen of Pentacles
Nine of the sixteen cards are major arcana. I have something major going on that I need to know about. Any help here would be hot.

Date: 2012-06-02 06:42 pm (UTC)7 of Pentacles= Ingenuity, hard work, progress
The Devil= Chained to what can be easily escaped, and/or bad influences in your life.
Situation as it stands = This could be interpreted as the opening of the Madonna song 'I've made it through the wilderness'. By the order posted here, it speaks of having clawed through obstacles and worries with ingenuity and hard work, but you've yet to reap the rewards. Something is holding you back.
Temperance
Death
3 of Cups - Resolution of a problem, compromise.
What you need to know - What you have been handling with temperance must instead be handled with change. You cannot simply persevere. The universe asks something of you, some sacrifice or compromise to finally pull yourself through the dark and into the light.
What you can control:
The Empress - Action and Development, Progress. The feminine aspect of yourself, and the nagging or overly practical side.
The Tower - The descent. There is, actually, an alternate meaning for the Tower. It indicates apoplectic change, like the Death card, but it is Death plus the 8. It destroys that which is not working and leaves them behind. It breaks down bad relationships, and emerges into a breakthrough.
The Sun - All good things. Triumph and success, Liberation. Appreciation of small favors. New Friends.
What You can Control: You have control of yourself in all ways. This is always true, but at this time, it may be the only thing you can control. Once again the deck calls for a change, perhaps a painful one that destroys things you may feel aren't quite ready to go yet. But the Sun promises that you, by your actions, have control over your own liberation. Referring back to the situation as it stands, you must liberate yourself from the Devil holding you back.
What You Cannot Control.
Judgment: Determination and Decision. Result and Outcome. You cannot control where you land. But Judgment promises Rejuvenation, Readjustment, and Rebirth. It's the companion to the fool reminding you to forget to fall because you can't control it. You will fly.
7 of Cups is one we all know, but it's telling you that you may not be able to control the daydreams right now. You will be spoiled for choice. You will have some unrealistic attitudes, and that is out of your ken right now. Let your mind dream and be at peace.
The Wheel of Fortune is a no-brainer in this position, but it bears saying that it does say that destiny and luck will play a part in your struggle to free yourself. It is inevitable, and unchanging.
Outcome -
10 of Swords - Bad as you believe it will be, possibly worse...possibly over-exaggerated
3 of Pentacles - Skill and mastery. Renown.
The World - Completion, Perfection, and Synthesis.
You're over-exaggerating here, and you may cause a crash and burn if you don't listen. You've walked the wastelands, and it has *sucked*. Something is holding you back, and you're unwilling to separate yourself from whatever it is. (Judging by the Heirophant jumping out, it deals with a convention you've always commonly accepted, a teacher, or a matter of structured belief.) You must bite the bullet and rain down a Tower on that which is holding you back. The Sun, The World, Judgment. They promise success if you're willing to be vicious with yourself.
The Queen of Pentacles is you, it's always been you. It's who you want to be: Prosperous, Secure, and Free. Able to be generous. You tie it all together.

Date: 2012-06-03 06:58 pm (UTC)Here's my handy online 'book' http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/free.php major arcana only. Lessee what it says.
As it stands, Devil.
http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/meanings/major_arcanum/MA-15.php
"The Devil stands for a warning against the destructive consequnces of your actions motivated by greed, lust and power.
More positively, the Devil can be a sign that you are gaining control, or at least awareness, of your weaknesses or addictions.
Always consider your motives when The Devil appears, it is a helfpul indicator for you to change course whilst you still can."
What you need to know Temperance http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/meanings/major_arcanum/MA-15.php
"When the Temperance card appears it symbolizes self-control, the ability to handle volatile factors and so bring about a positive result."
Death http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/meanings/major_arcanum/MA-13.php
"Whilst The Death card can represent rather shocking or unexpected events or changes, they usually clear the way for a brand new start and a greater value for life itself.
Out with the old and in with the new, a time of transformation is another way of looking at this card."
What you can control: Empress http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/meanings/major_arcanum/MA-3.php Super Venus card.
Tower http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/meanings/major_arcanum/MA-16.php This one I always think of scene from Disney's Aladdin where tower hits snowy peak and rolls away leaving our heroes unsquashed.
Sun http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/meanings/major_arcanum/MA-19.php ultimate yang clockwise yesness optimism
Cannot control: Judgment http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/meanings/major_arcanum/MA-20.php what comes down from without. Social consequences and rewards sowing what you reap
Wheel of Fortune http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/meanings/major_arcanum/MA-10.php the fates, the big cycles, things coming round
Outcome: 10 of swords is neurotic fears that you attract by bad focus.
3 of pentacles is craftsmanship level achieved
the World! http://www.free-tarot-reading.net/meanings/major_arcanum/MA-21.php utimate goal of alchemy, the philosopher's stone, the hermaphrodite. IMO very best card.
