the tarots guide. they are not our masters.

i guess i haven't been reading the tarots for too long. just did 3 readings for myself, none making enough sense. :(

king of pentacles

kings in a spread can indicate motivation, a beginning or start of something. king of pentacles indicate the drawing up of plans for a new business, new thoughts on how to make money or craft something.

while it's accurate in describing my latest decision, it doesn't seem to answer my question on the outcome.

justice

justice insists that the querent make adjustments, doing whatever is necessary to bring things back into balance. the outcome of all these may not be exactly what the querant wants, but it will be a fair outcome. the message is to do what's necessary, no matter how hard, how disagreeable, in order to gain or regain equilibrium.

does it answer my question? adjustments can be interpreted as good, but what about the 'may not be what the querant wants'?

ten of pentacles

the pinnacle of prosperity, material goods that last instead of being temporary. the querent may find themselves the lucky recipients of something that can be relied on for a good, long while, or something to be passed on to the children, a family inheritance, or just a special, valuable item to pass on.

can knowledge be considered? if so, this is probably the closest answer i got to my question.

i guess i'm so desperate for good news that it's messing up my interpretation skills. bah! never wanted something so much before! i don't know what i'll do if i don't get it. sobs. :(

Qn: I want to know more about Yang.

Past - Temperance (Two opposite camps (choices, belief systems, families, friends) and no way to unite them. But sometimes the only reason the two won't blend is that we're not taking the time, not measuring out the right amounts.)

this probably refers to yang trying to cope with his depression as well as being a normal person??

Present - Death (Being brought low, but only so that they can then go higher than they have ever been. Time for something to end, but also time for something new to begin.)

freaked me out when i first saw this card. most fitting of all. judging from yang's blog, he's really at a low now. something new to begin? this and the next card indicates that yang will get over this. yay!

Future - Queen of Pentacles (Making real a business, altering a work situation, or developing an exercise or health plan.)

hopefully this means yang will get well and be happy.

Qn: What will my love life be like?

Past - Nine of Cups (What you have an appetite for you will be given, your wish will come true. Creativity at a high, friendships and emotions are good.)

quite true. enjoying school life, having fun with friends and classmates, having mk, gary, and somewhat yang. best time of my life so far.

Present - Two of Pentacles (The instinctive knowledge of how to juggle finances, a check book, or jobs. As with the swords, you can't keep at it forever, but it is a good use to put your money or hard work to until your ship comes in. Which is what the background waves are all about - keep juggling, relief in on its way.)

uh huh. work, family, friends; hard time trying to strike a balance. can't make up my mind whether to carry on thinking about yang or not. but hey, my heart will still keep missing him no matter what my brain chooses. relief is near? great! i'll just try to hang on till then..

Future - Seven of Pentacles (With waiting for a job offer or raise, waiting for work to pay off, or a new diet, waiting for lottery numbers to be read. Sometimes you have to realize that you've done all you can do. It is out of your hands now. All you can do is wait.)

it fits! this might just be the relief that two of pentacles speaks of. right. so i just have to wait?
