[Moonshine]

Okay, here goes. Nobody throw any Tarot Tomatoes my way, okay? ;)

Career-Five of Wands...I feel she always went against the "norm", constantly competing against either others or herself, striving for perfection

Looks-High Priestess...Feminine, however her features were strong, stoic, petite.

Personality-Page of Swords...Always thinking about her next all important move, reaching for her lofty dreams by deep reflection

Childhood-King of Cups...She had a very strong father figure, very much a Daddy's girl

The very first thought that came to my mind was Amelia Earhart, the pilot.

::ducks from the tomatoes::

[blackairplane]

Here goes.
I have this courtesan feeling- soooo- Madame de Pompadour??? or Nell Gwynne- though they are hardly household words...

LOOKS: Queen Cups/ 8 Cups- Double blonde card so I guess I will go with light haired, has an uncertain look, a look of yearning, eyes that reflect a great depth of feeling. Maybe looks a bit like a prophet or seer. I have a feeling her hair had curls. Full-bodied. Wore a sash or obi? Some fabric around the waist or across chest.

PERSONALITY:Queen Swords/2 Swords. This chick had a regal bearing. Two queens already. Possibly she was one. Very deep feelings but she did not let them overtake her head. Strong, non-nonsense, perhaps alone or the widow of a great man. No problem making decisions. Perhaps fought with showing emotion, it was a test for her to keep them in check, but she did.

CAREER: 10 Wands RX/ Ace Coins: I feel that this woman made her fortune through wise delegation. She devised her system to success and then let others carry it out. She was very successful, but she had followers, not minions exactly, but others carried and sold her product or message or made her famous through their praises.

FAMILY: 10 SwordsRX/ 9 WandsRX- Hmmm 10's and Queens here. Her family was perhaps her greatest weakness. She fought an ineffectual battle with them that was long and drawn out- but resulted in no winners, both sides gaining petty victories over the other but no clear victory. Annoying, ultimately soul-sucking. Pointless

SOMETHING SPECIAL-Tower. Oddly I don't feel that this card represents what it usually does- I think it is literal. Is there a tower or statue named for her or built in her honor??

MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT- 8 SwordsRX- She unbloced, released, or pierced the veil on something or someone.

Mary Baker Eddy?

Opening clue look towards career.

LOOKS: strength rev, 10 coins, 3 coins
petite, blonde and slender. cunning woman. attractive. intelligent and talented

PERSONALITY: 2 Coins rev., 6cups rev., page of swords
constantly juggling things and cannot keep her mind on one thing at a time. a bit hasty and not very sharing. has a chip on her shoulder. someone who is quick tempered and quick witted. hard and biting. always on the go, lots of energy. possibly outdoorsy type.

CAREER: king of wands, fool rev., 4 cups
was the head of this employ. not the first to be head but she was in charge. a leader, and possibly a lawyer? or a judge? her career was quite challenging, and probably especially so for a woman.

FAMILY: ace of coins, knight of cps rev., 5 coins
was married, but relationship either was struggling, or ended. possibly due to some infidelity on her part? or she just wasn't very loving of him.

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT: 7coins, queen cups rev., 8 swords rev.
she was so consumed with her success that she threw caution to the wind, I think. she was successful though in time.

Till tomorrow Mitts! I think your reading is super-moonshine- but we never really know until feedback.

Okay, here goes. Nobody throw any Tarot Tomatoes my way, okay? ;)

LoL...no tomatoes untill game 4 ;) Besides I would have to peel them off of me.


Career-Five of Wands...I feel she always went against the "norm", constantly competing against either others or herself, striving for perfection
I am not sure if she strived for perfection consciously, but some would say in her craft she reached it.


Looks-High Priestess...Feminine, however her features were strong, stoic, petite.

She was very pretty and petite when young, but is best known in her older portraits and pictures...and you are spot on!

[QUOTE=Moonshine]Personality-Page of Swords...Always thinking about her next all important move, reaching for her lofty dreams by deep reflection She would have spent a lot of time thinking and imagining.


Childhood-King of Cups...She had a very strong father figure, very much a Daddy's girl Her father was well to do, but he died when she was very young.


The very first thought that came to my mind was Amelia Earhart, the pilot.

::ducks from the tomatoes::

Good guess, same minds perhaps, but very different ladies.

Ther'er not? LOL

Maybe looks a bit like a prophet or seer. I have a feeling her hair had curls. Full-bodied. Wore a sash or obi? Some fabric around the waist or across chest.

As a child, the only photo I have seen of her is with curls! she did not have light hair. full bodied as she aged, but petite in her younger years.

PERSONALITY:Queen Swords/2 Swords. This chick had a regal bearing. Two queens already. Possibly she was one. Very deep feelings but she did not let them overtake her head. Strong, non-nonsense, perhaps alone or the widow of a great man. No problem making decisions. Perhaps fought with showing emotion, it was a test for her to keep them in check, but she did.

In a strange sort of way this is 100% true.

She fought an ineffectual battle with them that was long and drawn out- but resulted in no winners, both sides gaining petty victories over the other but no clear victory. Annoying, ultimately soul-sucking. Pointless This is mostly a miss.

SOMETHING SPECIAL-Tower. Oddly I don't feel that this card represents what it usually does- I think it is literal. Is there a tower or statue named for her or built in her honor?? There are memorials to her, have not seen any statues, just a nice plaque.

MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT- 8 SwordsRX- She unbloced, released, or pierced the veil on something or someone.

no..

FAMILY: ace of coins, knight of cps rev., 5 coins
was married, but relationship either was struggling, or ended. possibly due to some infidelity on her part? or she just wasn't very loving of him. She was divorced once, and was devastated by it. He cheated on her.

[EarthFaery]

Hello everyone! I’m sorry I’ve been mia for a while, very busy!
The only deck I have available at the moment is my RWS, the deck with a mind of it’s own, so we’ll see how it goes.

Looks: Judgment/9 of wands
She looks tired, worn out physically, strong though, I want to say she had some kind of physical challenges, most likely as she got older. Music is coming to mind, more a musical instrument, I think. Was there something she was usually seen holding? I guess that’s what I’m trying to get at lol.

Personality: The hanged man/The World
She gave up a lot to be successful, she was the type who didn’t care what it took. Optimistic, maybe even an over achiever. Very well liked and known through out the world for her contributions.

Career: 6 of pents/Strength
She was a humanitarian, she helped others less fortunate. She had a way about her, she was like a peace maker for opposing sides, like the middle man or woman:). She was respected and genuine, her words made a huge impact, she was able to get her point across in a non aggressive way.

Family: 10 of pents/The Devil
I guess this is where it gets a little ugly. A lot of anger and hostility in the family, looks like over money. She was part of a wealthy prominent family. Either she turned her back on them or they her.

Something unique: The chariot/4 of Pentacles
No idea! I still am getting something about balancing opposing forces, and struggles. The chariot could mean to her wheels, or mode of transportation. I’m not really picking up on anything special here.

I can’t come up with a guess yet, I get the feeling I’m not familiar with her.

[star-lover]

looks - hermit
slim, plain, dont like to be noticed, dark hair

personality - q of wands - a star - vivacious, sociable, sexy, honest fun person who liked everyone and everyone liked her

career - 4 of wands - happy in career - party planner? lol - whatever it was was worked for and success was deserved

personal - 5 of wands - tumultous personal life - perhaps had 2/3 relationships on the go at once

i have no idea

a ballerina prima donna?

lots of wands here

[willowfox]

5 pents times in her life when she felt neglected, perhaps due to ill health

High priestess a secretive woman

6 cups very fond of her mother but a good willed and charitable person.

5 wands a sporting/competitive person. Liked a challenge.

Opening clue look towards career.

and not scotish :D

shadow: Ace of Cups - passion!

Looks: Q of Wands * Chariot
Ooooooh she had a fire in her eyes, tried to control herself, to rein herself in,, she was blond and confident and energetic, she was proud and strong - and fearless. She was aggressive - determined

personality: 8 of pents * Q of Cups
Yes she was determined, hard working, focused, she also had a great imagination and kept her feet planted firmly on the ground while her imagination soared. She was loyal and fiercely passionate. People enjoyed her company.

Career: page of swords * 2 of swords * 3 of wands
She was keen and had sharp wits about her - she was wary and always ready - people spoke about her - I think this shocked her made her take stock - she had to block them all so she could think - she had to hold back the world - she had a choice to make, a road to take - a risk to take - she wanted to expand her horizons and she had to stop everything so she could make her plan.

Home/family: 7 of pents * 6 of Cups
I think she had a happy childhood and she was waiting for her life to begin that way- she was nurturing and sensible - she had a family and children.

KEY: Q of Pents * Q of Swords * 5 of Cups
too bad this isn't texas hold'em I got all 4 ladies!!!
She was a special woman - she accomplished a lot - she had to walk her own path and this made her sad at times - she had to use her keen mind and her feminine wiles as well as her energy and intuition and passion. She was a threat to anyone because she was so evolved..... I would have liked to meet her - she seems to be someone who would have been fascinating to be around and to watch.

was she a courtier or a concubine or someone's mistress? or Cleopatra - although she wasn't blond..... marie antoinette? all the queens means to me she was a leader....or was the woman behind the leader and the muse....

[Lady Orchard]

ok...
looks - 2 of discs - symmetrical features, perhaps what one would call classically beautiful

personality - empress - kind, warm, nurturing. gave a lot of herself to others

family - 5 of cups - she suffered setbacks and disappointments, I think it has already been mentioned that she was divorced.

career - 6 of cups - involved in the past in some way, with nostalgia... perhaps a historian. or a museum curator, although I can't think of any famous ones! or historical novelist...

major accomplishment - king of discs - this makes me think she started a successful business. so now racking my brains...I have no idea...!

[blackairplane]

Margaret Mead?

Another bad day at work so I'll be in and out....

Maybe also Frieda Kahlo or Edith Wharton

[franniee]

Hey you guys - FYI

I just saw a notice that AT will be down late this afternoon around 4:30 for system maintenance....

BTW could it be Ann Sullivan?

[The crowned one]

Hello everyone! I’m sorry I’ve been mia for a while, very busy!
The only deck I have available at the moment is my RWS, the deck with a mind of it’s own, so we’ll see how it goes. My favorite deck!..Welcome back.

Looks: Judgment/9 of wands
She looks tired, worn out physically, strong though, I want to say she had some kind of physical challenges, most likely as she got older. Music is coming to mind, more a musical instrument, I think. Was there something she was usually seen holding? I guess that’s what I’m trying to get at lol. She did hold something a lot but she was not a musician. In her pictures she does not look tired.

Personality: The hanged man/The World
She gave up a lot to be successful, she was the type who didn’t care what it took. Optimistic, maybe even an over achiever. Very well liked and known through out the world for her contributions.

World famous yes, as a matter of fact she is in the book of Guinness. I do not feel she made any sacrifices through life.

Career: 6 of pents/Strength
She was a humanitarian, she helped others less fortunate. She had a way about her, she was like a peace maker for opposing sides, like the middle man or woman:). She was respected and genuine, her words made a huge impact, she was able to get her point across in a non aggressive way. These cards are good, but not the interpretation so much.

Family: 10 of pents/The Devil
I guess this is where it gets a little ugly. A lot of anger and hostility in the family, looks like over money. She was part of a wealthy prominent family. Either she turned her back on them or they her. She was a part of a upper middle class family, you are picking up on a strange and documented event in her life based around the end of her first marriage.

Something unique: The chariot/4 of Pentacles
No idea! I still am getting something about balancing opposing forces, and struggles. The chariot could mean to her wheels, or mode of transportation. I’m not really picking up on anything special here. I can fit these cards into unique...the 4, she had on career and stuck to it. The Chariot, she was the master of her chosen career and it involved her mind, it was not a physical living.

I can’t come up with a guess yet, I get the feeling I’m not familiar with her.

I think you will know her. nice read!

[The crowned one]

looks - hermit
slim, plain, dont like to be noticed, dark hair

Hmmm I like this, it fits her personality in many ways...we all change physically as we age, and from her time of fame, how you describe her is good.

personality - q of wands - a star - vivacious, sociable, sexy, honest fun person who liked everyone and everyone liked her I am not sure here, this is not touched on in her bio...I think she would have been pretty conservative, a product of her times and upbringing

career - 4 of wands - happy in career - party planner? lol - whatever it was was worked for and success was deserved She did earn her reputation.

personal - 5 of wands - tumultous personal life - perhaps had 2/3 relationships on the go at once Not her, but her cheating husbands might have, still most of her second marriage was considered a happy one, and it lasted until her death.

i have no idea

a ballerina prima donna?

lots of wands here

[The crowned one]

5 pents times in her life when she felt neglected, perhaps due to ill health

High priestess a secretive woman

6 cups very fond of her mother but a good willed and charitable person.

5 wands a sporting/competitive person. Liked a challenge.

There is a least one well documented time in her life that she does not talk about when she sort of disappeared off the map... she was raised by her mother, and when her Mom died was quite devastated.

[blackairplane]

Oh Agatha Christie....

[The crowned one]

and not scotish :D

Not everyone can be perfect ;)

shadow: Ace of Cups - passion!

If she was it was well hidden, but I could see this being true.

Looks: Q of Wands * Chariot
Ooooooh she had a fire in her eyes, tried to control herself, to rein herself in,, she was blond and confident and energetic, she was proud and strong - and fearless. She was aggressive - determined

Dark hair, I am not sure if she was a stong women really, but she was above average and most of those other words would apply.

personality: 8 of pents * Q of Cups
Yes she was determined, hard working, focused, she also had a great imagination and kept her feet planted firmly on the ground while her imagination soared. She was loyal and fiercely passionate. People enjoyed her company. I think this is perfect.

Career: page of swords * 2 of swords * 3 of wands
She was keen and had sharp wits about her - she was wary and always ready - people spoke about her - I think this shocked her made her take stock - she had to block them all so she could think - she had to hold back the world - she had a choice to make, a road to take - a risk to take - she wanted to expand her horizons and she had to stop everything so she could make her plan. She was badly hurt more then once, but basically she choose her career and it stayed with her throughout her life, she was a master.

Home/family: 7 of pents * 6 of Cups
I think she had a happy childhood and she was waiting for her life to begin that way- she was nurturing and sensible - she had a family and children. Yes had a family and childern.

KEY: Q of Pents * Q of Swords * 5 of Cups

was she a courtier or a concubine or someone's mistress? or Cleopatra - although she wasn't blond..... marie antoinette? all the queens means to me she was a leader....or was the woman behind the leader and the muse.... She was dark haired but most people would have seen pictures of her with white hair are gray and black. In a sense she was a queen, as she was the best at what she did.

Huge Kodo's to you, I thought ,with the exception of her disappearance my clues and feed back were much to vague to get it. Well done...I do not know how to make those happy winner smilies, but if I did, I would put a bunch in right ....here...

Excellent!

[franniee]

Nice black airplane!!!

Whoooooo hoooooooo!


Thanks TCO!

Welcome back SMV we missed you!!!

[blackairplane]

I thought it was a writer or an artist. The disappearance clue was it. I just wikied her and for those who do- yours truly has had her tarot cards spread out in that very room on the bed on the right. Threw up there too- but's that another story- Turkish tummy....
I love Agatha- I have to cross her off my list of possible subjects now TCO!!!

[franniee]

yours truly has had her tarot cards spread out in that very room on the bed on the right. Threw up there too- but's that another story- Turkish tummy....!
Too funny BA - while I never threw up there I did get very sick in turkey and saved it for when we landed in brussels where I got sick all over the airport! They wanted me out of their clean city and fast.....but it was a turkish tummy - no doubt. :eek:

[The crowned one]

When I was about 10 or 11 my Aunt gave me "and then there were none"...I think her version might had been called "10 little Indians" I was hooked from that day. Great writer, and in the world Guinness book for best selling writer of all time.

Who is next?
Turkish delight...real Turkish delight is one of 2 sweets I love.

[blackairplane]

I might be due for a turn if no one minds a few blank spots between my work and AT upgrades...

[star-lover]

oh wooo hooo great choice
i was thinking shirley temple at first with the ref to blonde curly hair

well done everyone

[celticnoodle]
