Tarot post mark 4.

[harpbeat]

If anyone is interested, I would like to read some Tarot today.

[A deck is on the table in front of her.]

Simply focus on your question while shuffling the deck, and inform me of your question when you return the deck to me. Then I can read your fortune.

[Any game, any character will be read with a real shuffling of a real Tarot deck!]

It is a very old branch of divination where I come from, in my homeland. But variants have been developed practically everywhere I look.

[She seems reluctant to say more than that.]

[dovahkitty]

Oh. Uh... Well, I have a lot happening in my life right now. Things are getting hectic.

*Ma'sud hands the cards back to her.* What do they say about my situation?

[harpbeat]

[Dealt: seven cards.]

Your past: the Queen of Wands. She is energetic and self-assured. She has enthusiasm, and leads an active life. She may be a person you know or simply an energy.

Your present: the Three of Wands. Exploration and foresight. Leaving the secure behind, anticipating obstacles.

You are helped by the Seven of Pentacles. Getting a reward from your previous actions, and assessing where you are and what path you wish to be taking in the future.

You are hurt by the Nine of Wands. Defensiveness, feeling guarded against others. This card warns of the negative results of trying to protect yourself from too much for too long.

The others around you are shown by the Nine of Cups. Their wishes are fulfilled and they are receiving what they think they want. Satisfaction and smugness.

Your actions should reflect the King of Pentacles. The King is reliable and willing to support others. He attracts wealth and is adept and skillful.

Your results: the Four of Swords. Taking a rest, and preparing for the future.

Are you pushing yourself a little hard, dear?

[dovahkitty]

*Ma'sud just stares at her for a moment.*

How did cards do that? *He shakes his head.* I...yes, I have to push myself hard, I have to keep a dragon from eating all the souls out of the afterlife! I'm the only one who can do it...

[harpbeat]

I understand. But after you have accomplished that, perhaps it will be time for you to care for yourself.

[dovahkitty]

I plan to. Maybe buy a house, settle into doing odd jobs for people instead of this huge...quest. Or go exploring.

*"Quest" almost sounds too quaint for this situation...*

[harpbeat]

Those both sound lovely. I wish you good luck with that and your current quest.
