Offering Arcana Stones Readings!

What can MaineGirl17 expect in her career this year?

Trying the cards method again!, we get

15-Devil-Hematite on overlapping 7 of Disks and Knight of Swords
10-Wheel-Botswana Agate on 3 of Wands
19-Sun-Citrine on 5 of Swords

This is a short but encouraging story:

You will be tempted (Devil) to give up (7 of Disks) too quickly (Knight of Swords). 7 of Disks (Saturn in Taurus) means you with think that you will have to settle for a limitation or lowering (Saturn) of your income or level of employment (Taurus) to less than you want.

But then things out of your control will change (Wheel) quickly and energetically, but not chaotically (3 of Wands).

This will allow you to snatch victory (Sun) from the jaws of defeat (5 of Swords).

So keep your mind on the sunny side. Remember that the wheel is always turning, and the turns always benefit those who have their eyes open to spot the sunlight of opportunity breaking through the clouds!

I hope this is helpful to you. Good luck!

Thank you!

Sure would have been great to watch you do this reading! I can't give much feedback right now because I'm single. There isn't anyone on my radar. Sinxe this is 6 months, maybe I'll run into him later. I'll be careful!

What can Bluebonnet expect in her love life in the next six months?

Since you are a repeat querant , I thought I'd try a new reading method for you! This method was invented by cassandra022 at our tarot society meetup on Saturday. I modified it to use just minor cards, since the stones are majors.

I shuffled the Thoth minors and laid out 9 of them in a rectangle. I then randomly picked 3 stones and dropped them above the center card. I took away the cards that didn't have stone land on them. We end up with:

5-Hierophant-Orange Calcite on 2 of Disks; 16-Tower-Red Jasper on Knight of Cups; 2-Priestess-Moonstone on 6 of Cups

There is someone you are attracted to (Knight of Cups). He seems like a dreamy fairytale prince charming. Even his horse's hooves are heart-shaped. But--he stretches his hand before him holding forth -- the Tower! (The Tower stone landed right on top of/obscuring the cup that the knight holds in the illustration.) So this prince charming might not be so charming after all. He might do something that will upset or disconcert you, or at least upend the ideal you have of him.

You might experience a kind of shock, but you will be able to stay steady and grounded (2 of Disks) with the help of some good advice or a strong sense of morality, what's appropriate, or what is due to yourself (Hierophant).

The outcome of all this will be that you gain a strong inner understanding (Priestess) of what true relationship happiness can be (6 of Cups).

Your Tower experience with the Knight of Cups won't get you down, it will help you refine and know exactly the kind of relationship you want. And you will be secure in knowing the ability to make it a part of your real life, just a little bit further down the road.

I hope this reading is of help to you. Thanks for letting me experiment on you!

What does louiseb need to know about the remainder of 2012?

Stone arrowhead this time!

10-Wheel-Botswana Agate, 2-Priestess-Moonstone, 1-Magician-Chiastolite
Things might seem up in the air and changing without a reason, but the changes will help you develop your intuition, and you will have an opportunity to use your intuition for practical purposes.

The cause of your question: 11-Justice-Aventurine. You are concerned about stability. Today you think you want things to stay steady and stable, but the changes we see will not be a negative thing.

You will receive: 12-Hermit-Fluorite. You will be subject to a time of isolation or aloneness, but that will assist with your intuition development. Perhaps you will be inspired by a spiritual leader.

You will do: 3-Empress-Malachite. You will prosper! You might also be in a position to nurture others and/or take care of children.

Outcome: 13-Death-Mahogany Obsidian. This is a year when you grow and move on to another life stage. It won't be shocking or scary. And it won't be sad if you see it as growth instead of having to leave something of your life behind.

Advice: 7-Amethyst-Chariot. This is the advice I just mentioned! When lifetime changes happen to you, accept and understand them as a new next step on the triumphant journey of your life!

Good luck to you in the coming year! Let me know if this is of help to you.

Using the good old houses drop sheet, we get:

14-Temperance-Rose Quartz in the First House
20-Judgment-Petrified Wood in both Third and Fourth Houses (on the line)
21-Onyx-Universe in the Fourth House
Outside the circle, 7-Chariot-Amethyst in the (extended) Ninth House

You are someone who has a balance and peace in your life. You have done or are doing spiritual practices such as prayer or meditation or yoga, and they have borne the fruit of a centered and calm you!

Ehh not so much. I'm definitely looking for balance and peace, and spiritually have felt "blah" because of many overwhelming difficulties on every possible front; I'm exhausted...Temperance makes sense though!

You will be changing those old head tapes of self-criticism or blame.

All these changes will lead to truly complete and fulfilling family relationships. The Universe is right at the bottom of the circle, anchoring this reading with fullness and success.

This sounds way more optimistic than I have been feeling -- so I hope things work out this way.

But wherever you go, it will be a great opportunity to learn and expand your mind. And you will truly enjoy your travel, knowing that everything is settled and stable at home.

This World + Chariot bit is really interesting because right now I'm not sure if I will be moving to another city or staying here, and I'm trying like hell to get a job within higher ed, and I might be traveling a little bit over the summer.

Thanks for reading! Will definitely be looking into arcana stones more in the future...

Rachelcat you're a clever lady! The Arcana Stones are really well thought out and packaged. Just got to tell you that as I can't post in the advertisements thread.

Thank you very much! I'm really enjoying doing these readings. And it really fun when folks experiment with the stones and think up news ways of using them! I love that we're all students!
