Here's a situation (using one card, for the simplicity's sake):
If I ask the cards "Am I pregnant?" and I get "The Empress", that would be a most likely "yes". Right?
If I want to get pregnant, that's an awesome card. But if I don't want to get pregnant, if a baby now would definitely disrupt my life... is "The Empress" still an appropriate card? Shouldn't I get something like "Death" or "Tower"?
My question is: do you think that tarot usually follows the 'mood' of you question? Like in the situation above, if you want the answer to be "yes" you get a positive card, but if the "yes" is a bad thing, you should get a more unsettling card.
Or does "The Empress" means 'yes' for pregnancy, be it wanted or unwanted?
----------------------------------------------------------
I ask this because a friend, who is a beginner tarot student, came with this situation to me. She asked me if "The Empress" was telling her that everything was fine, or if it was telling her that she was indeed pregnant, and then it'd be awful. (She has no wish for a baby right now).
Turns out she her period came just fine, so perhaps "The Empress" was just telling her she was healthy and fine...
But I'd like others views on it. How does it work in your practice?
