Opening clue look towards career.

[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.

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?

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.

I am not sure if she strived for perfection consciously, but some would say in her craft she reached it.


[QUOTE=Moonshine]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!

She would have spent a lot of time thinking and imagining.

Her father was well to do, but he died when she was very young.

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

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.

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

This is mostly a miss.

There are memorials to her, have not seen any statues, just a nice plaque.

She did some traveling, can't tell you more without giving too many clues right now.

Well she was the best at what she did up to this day.

She was divorced once, and was devastated by it. He cheated on her.

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. [/QUOTE] See did not throw caution to the wind, but she was a success in her own lifetime, and continues to be now.

Hit and miss here

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.
