I am utterly fascinated by your readings...and your system.

It looks like you have created a Magnum opus of an oracle here!

One quick question about them...do the three colors represent the nigredo, albedo and rubeo?

I need to get a peek at your Etsy store...too bad I am so broke!

I believe the stones are saying that you will eventually achieve your goals of a career in tarot, but it will be a long process. You'll be starting at the bottom, and working your way up will be a journey that may take years. I believe the invered Earth is saying that it may be more of a passive, dark process; you may just need to relax and let the journey take you where it will, and, eventually, you will arrive at your goal.
A great reading! And it really agrees with various readings and thinking I've been doing about the subject.

Gold probably is saying tarot is not a money-making proposition but a spiritual
process for me. That just happens to have a physical component (lead and earth). It totally makes sense to just keep doing what I'm doing and it will happen. Growth and change is what I'm headed for. I might get there before I realize I'm there!

Thanks so much. I really like the stones, but I like even more your way of interpreting them!

Fire and Water are the active/passive pair in the four elements, so I believe Fire represents looking for something new, while Water represents staying where you are. Tin, which landed near Water, represents superficial happiness. You could have everything in the world, but still feel unfulfilled, still have the small thought at the back of your mind that everything is not quite right. Nigredo is the hidden aspect in this situation; also on the side of Water. It's much like the Tower card: it represents breaking down everything you believe in, all of who you are, to emerge as a new and more pure person.

We don't have any information on what will happen if you choose to pursue a new path; but the stones have lots to say about where you are now. This path will lead you to a superficial happiness; but it will also break you down when you're not paying attention. This breakdown will ultimately be beneficial, help to create a better you, but it will also be very difficult and painful. It's up to you which path you would like to take: the new one we have no information on; or the one that will be painful, but ultimately beneficial for you.
Very interesting! I'm currently in a horrible job situation (just yesterday I had to listen to an intern personally attack me in front of the executive director for an hour - UGH) and my contract lasts until July. I'm looking for ways to get out of it now as soon as possible because it's just been a real struggle - so in terms of breaking me down: YES YES YES. I really don't see any benefits right now, but maybe you're right - I just gotta stick to it

Thanks so much for this!

Iron, on the other hand, is a masculine metal; it is very strong and unchanging. Funny fact about mercury and iron: mercury containers in the middle ages were often made of iron, as those two metals do not react to one another. Silver is also a feminine metal, but much more and without the negative aspects that Mercury can represent.

There is a choice ahead of you, and two things you would like to do; one relating more to empathy and intuition, the other more towards the scientific or mathematical. There two things cannot combine, in your opinion, it is one or the other. Since Silver is the hidden aspect here, this makes me believe that you're currently in a much more intuitive mindset, making your studies especially difficult for you. Remember that even if you are feeling right-brained, your left brain is still there and functioning perfectly well. You can be both empathetic and rational, a 'feeler' and a 'thinker'. Learning to balance these two sides of yourself will not only help you now with your studies; but whenever you need to be an analytical and logical person. Our intuition is certainly valuable, but remember that you have other tools at your disposal that can be just as useful
Hello Inthetree, and thanks for the reading.

You are totally spot on!! Im going to cosmetology school, and I thought it was going to be easier but for some reason its not. Not so much the studying it self but the ambient around all this girls. Talk about drama!!!!! I used to have so many friends before that Im very surprise Im having so many issues relating to this girls, so I do go more by the intuitive side of me, just trying to figure out what is going on.
I'll definitely have what you told me in mind, sometimes you just need to hear it from someone else to realize!

Thanks again♥
