Tell me a story!

If not a romance then maybe a union of sorts? maybe the social aspect will come in to play if you continue on this path - there could be a blending of work with a social life with people at work!


Where shall we take this story next? Would you like to see if you are meeting someone or if it pans out to be an awesome friendship with a great new friend and work college?

Hmm, outlook looks good for my social life after all. With so many opportunities to meet someone my own age at a community college. I think that meeting new people would be much, much easier. I think I'd like to meet a new romantic interest. And with this new development, I think I'd be much more open to it. Part of finding a new romantic interest, is in the looking, me thinks.

A cute, young professor perhaps? Or an older (I am in my thirties) student who is looking to educate themselves. Or maybe even someone at the new job. The possibilities are exciting!

Well, the next card is the Queen of Cups - whoever they are they are deeply in touch with their emotional side - this could be one very deep relationship for you. Artistic, mysterious and a touch psychic? With your interest in tarot this could make for an interesting relationship.

Hmm, not the usual type of guy I date. That's probably a good thing! ;b

I probably will meet this guy at the record shop across the street, which I have been meaning to visit. Fighting over the last copy of Wild Flag's newest record. I'll let him have it. But perhaps he'll invite me over to listen to it sometime. Sounds like the beginning of a new friendship or more over great tunes!

Sometimes it's not what you expect - I met my current partner under unusual circumstances. I would never have dated him otherwise ....

So far the reading has been very positive - 3 of Cups, Wheel of Fortune, The lovers and Queen of Cup - no real negative cards although they can have a dark side too. I think that even though you're going to be very busy integrating everything into your life that things will work out for the best. hopefully this new friendship/relationship will also help.

The next card is the king of Swords - strong, austere and scientifically minded. His character is intelligent and he is a law unto himself. This card could represent your being highly intelligent and finishing your studies and being a strongly independent person. You can plan ahead and work things out logically....maybe this is why you don't often go for the more emotional types?

This could mean that this new person could have a tempering affect on you.

Yes, amazingly positive. I hope this foretells of good things to come this late spring/early summer. I think a new friendship is just what I need to mix things up a bit. I love my old friends dearly, but some of them have moved away recently, and I feel the loss a bit keenly.

I agree. I tend to be fairly aloof, I guess you could say. The king of swords represents a lot to me, mentors in my academic life, and strangely enough when someone read for me I picked up the King of Swords from the Goddess Tarot I think it is called. She made me pick out another card to represent my feminine side afterwards after she took all the male counterparts out of the deck. She said my energy was very masculine! ;b But that I needed to work on my feminine side, and the next card I picked out was saraswati who corresponds to the High Priestess in that deck.

Ideally I think the King of Swords for me, is a part of myself that incorporates my scientific side with my somewhat unreliable hard work ethic side. Perhaps this new person in my life will be able to help me balance social/academic/work life better so that my work ethic improves in all areas of my life.

As I see the story progressing from new job, to new friend or lover to good fortune, I feel the King of Swords will help me gain perspective, working at my community college, I will have more access to my mentor who teaches there as well. I think the King of Swords represents the continued friendship and mentorship over lunches and dinners we have had in the past. He will probably give me excellent advice on how to keep a level head with all these wonderful and perhaps overwhelming changes that will be evident in my life with the job change. A welcome to the adult world of working a 9 to 5 job, instead of working 2-4 part time jobs that drained my energy and were unreliable.

Thank you for the marvelous reading. We can stop here if you like, as I think we have reached all the way to Fall Semester. This was quite the fun experience!

Not a problem Tinyspark, it was a pleasure to read for you It sounds like you're in for a fun but busy time. Your new Queen of Cups friend should compliment your King of Swords nicely. We should do it again sometime


Muji has PM'd me and won't be able to participate for a few days - is anyone else keen to try this out?

[Muji]

I'm so sorry to have taken so long! Without further avail...

Muji is a sad, sad single person with no hopeful outlook in regards to love outside of starting college later this year. I'd like to find out what it is I need in a partner - to balance me and fill the miscellaneous voids inside me each person has, and vice versa, what my future partner will need from me. What striking feature(s) will identify my "soulmate"? What kind of pronounced emotions will this partner evoke in me?

This is a subject I'm relatively (comparatively) well-versed in, so there should be ample opportunity for feedback. Trust your intuition, trust your wisdom. Use a deck you love and connect with - if nothing pops out to you, try Shadowscapes, as I know I connect well to that and wouldn't be surprised if you had an easier experience reading for me with a deck I am smitten with.

Well Muji - I am using the Shadowscapes Tarot for you so you can see the cards that come out for you.

I have shuffled, swirled and fanned the deck out and have picked a card out. The Six of Swords. This card depicts a person resting on a swans back and five black crows perched underneath on the hilts of five of the swords. I take this to mean you are moving away from a difficult time and your are on a journey hoping to find somewhere more at peace to be. this can be an internal journey as well as most that happens within also takes place around us.

You're not sure where the path will take you only that you need to be somewhere else away from the noise and somewhere where you can feel at peace.

[Muji]

Interesting. I think that I have a false idyllic perception of relationships, like they're meant to save me and take me away from where I am right now. I see that swan as a relationship - comforting me and taking me away from what is too scary or too much to deal with (the swords, the crows - the swords being myself, my mind?) This card always feels very dreamy and Neptunian to me. Relationships really do feel peaceful to me - like I'm able to escape everything that is my life and find solace in another person, even if just temporarily.

I'm curious to know what tarot thinks of this. Do I need to be more strong and independent in relationships?

[callistoluna]

The next card I've pulled is the Knight of Swords (reversed)

Would you say you can be a little bit pushy or not pushy enough?

He is focused on the sword and not on what is going on around him. Maybe developing awareness of what is going on around you could help make relationships work better.

Next time around lets try to see what happens when you embody some of this Knights more attractive traits - like making informed decisions, acting swiftly and decisively and not letting your emotions get the better of you.

Sometimes we are in a relationship just for the sake of being in one even though we know that the person we're with is not good for us. This Knight can help us to see the reality and act on it.
