[♀ - Action]

[Eater is spending most of the day in the hotel lobby. She has a table set up, and the curious can come and see that she is giving readings with her Tarot deck for anyone who asks.

She's also wearing pants today, which is probably more remarkable than that.

(If anyone has a specific result they'd like to get from their Tarot reading, they can tell me - otherwise, I'll whip out my new real-life Tarot deck and do the reading myself.)]

Comments

[doudemoe]

Sure.

[There are worse ways to kill time, after all.]

Eater hands him the deck.]

Please shuffle the cards, and while you shuffle them, focus on the question you wish to ask. When you're done shuffling, hand the cards back to me and tell me your question.

[doudemoe]

[He does so, shuffling the deck. His sight captures the Fool card, and he holds it briefly, lost in thought, before he resumes shuffling.]

What does the Fool stand for?

[harpbeat]

The Fool stands for beginnings, being spontaneous, faith... The Fool is a card numbered zero, not one, because at the beginning of his journey he is empty, but has the desire to go forth and learn.

[doudemoe]

Empty...

[He finishes shuffling the deck and places it down.]

Then what does the future hold for me?

[harpbeat]

[Eater lays out seven cards and flips them over one by one.]

The Moon stands for your past. The Moon can be a card of illusions and imagination, the card of the night that both frightens and enchants us. It is a card that represents wandering aimlessly and losing direction and purpose.

Strength stands for your present. Strength is a card of soft control. You are patient and maintain composure; you have a strong spirit, but you exercise your strength through persuasion and influence, tempering force with benevolence.

The Two of Cups, drawn in reverse, represents the forces helping you. The Two of Cups represents an emotional connection and acknowledging an attraction, letting yourself be drawn in. In this case, the energies of the Two of Cups are blocked until you allow yourself to connect to others.

The Four of Wands, in reverse, is your obstacle. The absence of the Four of Wands' celebration and excitement will do you harm.

The Ace of Swords, reversed, shows the attitude of those around you. This card is for those who seek justice and pursue truth. The illusions about this place may well be the ones that the Ace of Swords will attempt to dispel, but they are prevented from doing so by another power. The Ace of Swords is also a card of fortitude.

Your course of action is the Nine of Cups, reversed. A card of wish fulfillment and satisfaction, this suggests that you are unsure of what you really want and should look towards your real desires.

Finally, the outcome of your question is the Four of Cups. Taken as a whole, this suggests that the purpose the Moon signified the absence of will be found in the end.

[Well...a bit disappointed the Fool wasn't used but otherwise...]

It's interesting. Thank you.

[harpbeat]

I hope that it helps you.
