Toward my hippie-girl street cred

Just for fun, I did two quick tarot spreads with a deck I don't often use. It's a Shakespeare tarot and much more positively toned than most decks. Still, I thought these spreads were fascinating.

First spread

1. Context of the question: 5 of Pentacles: Material trouble

2. Obstacles facing the questioner: 2 of Cups: Love, support

3. The questioner's resources: 5 of Wands: Struggle, competition

4. What precedes the question: 4 of Swords: Serious contemplation

5. The best possibility: The Empress: From the struggle, strength

6. What is to come: The Hanged Man: Judiciousness, biding one's time

7. The questioner's attitude: 8 of Cups: Dejection, retreat

8. The questioner's influences: Knight of Pentacles: Readiness to serve, being of use

9. Hopes/fears: 7 of Cups: Artifice, ephemera

10. Outcome: Knight of Wands: Flight, change

In short, major changes ahead.

Second spread

1. Context of the question: The Hermit: Deceit

2. Obstacles facing the questioner: Strength: The ability to act

3. The questioner's resources: Queen of Wands: Love, possibly the love of material things

4. What precedes the question: 9 of Swords: Death, failure

5. The best possibility: Page of Pentacles: "Pay attention"

6. What is to come: 9 of Wands: Endurance

7. The questioner's attitude: 7 of Swords: Trouble

8. The questioner's influences: 2 of Swords: Balance from going along to get along

9. Hopes/fears: Knight of Wands: Flight, change

10. Outcome: The Moon: Danger, deception, darkness

In short, something bleak ahead.

So much for a light-hearted reading!
