Tarot post mark 8.

[harpbeat]

My, it's been quite a while since I read Tarot. Would anyone like a reading?

[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!]

Ah-- okay...

[ she takes the cards, and as requested, shuffles them as best she can, running the question through her mind as she does so. Once she's satisfied, she hands the cards back with a slightly nervous smile.

isn't she going to feel like a dumbass if she gets a bad draw. ]

Was that enough...?

[harpbeat]

Certainly.

[Eater deals out seven cards in a row.]

The Six of Pentacles stands for your past. It shows two sides to a situation: having knowledge, not having knowledge, having power and not having power. Things are rarely as clear-cut as they seem.

The Hermit stands for your present. The Hermit is a card of introspection, searching for understanding of yourself and the world. It can stand for guidance, helping others improve themselves.

You are helped by the Page of Swords. The Swords suit stands for the forces of the mind - the Page asks you to focus on being truthful and being just, and having fortitude in the face of setbacks.

You are hurt by the Seven of Wands. This card stands for aggression and defiance, putting yourself before others and refusing to yield to anyone else. In this position, the card suggests that you or someone in your family might have issues with accepting criticism or being considerate of those around you.

The attitudes of others are shown by the Page of Wands. The Page of Wands is a courageous, passionate person with confidence to spare. They're creative and optimistic. Pages, when they represent specific people, are generally people under the age of twenty.

Your actions should reflect the Three of Cups. The Three of Cups is a card about friendship and community, happiness shared with others. The more you connect with others outside of your family, the better for your own family.

Finally, the results: the Eight of Swords. A card of restriction and confusion.

Sometimes when hardship comes, it may seem like we have no options, or we may not know which options to take - but there are always options if we can only follow the Page of Swords's example and think clearly about them. Being a part of the greater community will help your family, particularly if they can resist the natural urge to try to 'come out on top'.
