Future Tarot

“I would love a free reading if you have the time. My life is freaky and I just want to know if it will ever get better.”

First, Miss Michele apologizes for the lateness of this response. I hope things have already started looking up for you. Let’s see what the tarot has to say.

The card in the past, the Nine of Swords, definitely indicates “freakiness.” More specifically, sleepless nights, anxiety, endless worries.

But two court cards indicate things will get better. Court cards, especially kings and queens, often indicate mentors who will step in and help the querent.

The near future brings the King of Rods. You will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with many very different people. An older, more mature man may offer much-needed advice or a way out. If the cause of your distress is a disagreement with a person or group of people, you will be able to see their point of view and reach a diplomatic arrangement.

Three minor arcana in this reading tell us that the situation is entirely in your hands… whether by omission, commission or simply manifestation, you have created this situation. Go inside yourself and figure out how… the answers on how to get out of it will come to you, as well.

The possible outcome is shown in the Queen of Rods. The King’s counterpart, the Queen of Rods is a well-organized career woman capable of balancing work and family. Seek balance in your life and your situation will improve. Similarly, an older, wiser woman will offer advice to get you past these hurdles and open new doors of opportunity for you. Be assertive to get what you want, but also understanding. Avoid debating like a steamroller. Look at both sides of every situation.

And open yourself up to being helped… the Universe is there to help you if you let it.

TJWriter asks:Can I have another free reading, Miss Michele?

I found out some wonderful news today, and I wonder if this will be as great as I hope?

The first card, the King of Pentacles, shows your past. You have built a strong financial foundation for future endeavors. Your partner is ready to become a protector and provider (or perhaps expand that role).

The King of Swords, in the near future, shows unconventional methods. You may be dealing with overbearing professionals and seeking “a better way” to do things. The tarot warns to get in touch with your feelings. There’s a lot going on in your life, a lot of preparations to be made and, on top of it all, there may have been a new job, responsibilities or promotion. Take time for yourself, meditation, and exercise!

The Outcome, the Chariot, shows a major move in the near future. Through it all, remember that you are in control… People may be offering advice, “wisdom” and even old wives’ tales. Follow your heart. Stay centered and calm. You know what you need to do, go after it and don’t listen to those who tell you different.

TJWriter, knowing the good news you received, it was challenging to make sense of this combination of cards as it relates to that. I can’t help but think you’re facing challenges with doctors–or maybe just insurance companies–or overbearing relatives trying to tell you what is best. The Chariot is saying choose your own path. You will do the right thing. Don’t be drawn off course or lose focus.

Miss Michele must apologize for her lengthy absence. She noted two interesting, consecutive cards of the day, the Two and Three of Cups, as a shift away from the career focus and on to emotions.

Miss Michele was half right. She discovered, the day after she drew the Three of Cups, that she’s pregnant. It’s been tough fighting fatigue and keeping up with her daily work.

Today’s card of the day is the Eight of Rods. Things are moving full speed ahead, once again, related not to health, family or emotions, but career. Today marks a turning point where I will start exercising to keep my energy up and try eating healthier.

And, of course, I will continue to throw Daily Cards and provide free, three-card spreads to faithful readers!

Additionally, Miss Michele makes her second appearance on the RadioX show, Wednesday night at 10:20 (or thereabouts).

Tina Samuels, at Confused and Undone asks for some insight into her writing projects. She posts:

I’d love a three card reading, mainly to focus on my writing projects. I’ve about.com prep running from 2-1 to 2-18. I’m worried and seeking insight.

The tarot is advising that focus is the key.

The Heart of the Matter shows the Ten of Swords. This card indicates sheer exhaustion and possibly even physical pain. You may have given up other projects in the hopes of becoming an About.com guide… and now you feel as if there’s no turning back. What’s worse, you feel as if you’re not getting any support, not having your questions answered, and have no idea what your Guide thinks of your work. Still you felt as if this promise of steady money was your only choice. You want “in” with a need that is close to desperation.

The Tarot’s advice manifests in the Three of Swords. Let go of what is not working. Cut loose projects that aren’t providing emotional fulfillment. Focus your current energies on About.com if that is what you truly want. If you have doubts, however, don’t do it.

The Ten of Swords and Three of Swords combine to tell me that something significant in your past happened and you are having trouble letting go of it. You won’t be able to focus fully on your About training and freelance career until you do so.

Note: Thinking, “Wow, Confused and Undone is the perfect name for your blog based on this reading,” I checked it out. I didn’t know you applied to be the Guide for Chronic Pain… but the cards did. Also, that you’re sick going into prep! The Ten of Swords frequently shows pain, surgery, etc., which applies to this situation to a tee, and allows me to make better sense of the cards.

The final card, the Seven of Cups, shows a much brighter outlook. The three minor arcana show it’s all in your hands. You’ll be able to work through your illness to complete prep. However, halfway through, you’ll begin to wonder if it’s what you really want.

The answer is clear, if you want it, it’s yours for the taking. Merely focus on your wishes and they will come true. The danger is in being unfocused, scatterbrained, throughout prep. Stay organized and focused and it will all be fine.

The issue lies in the self-doubt. Do you even want the position? Will you be able to do it, on top of your other new job? Only you know the answer in that regard.

Tina, please come back and let us know how it goes! And best of luck with Prep!
