[Tarot] Dreams and signs, I'm on a strange incline

[balsamandash]

Iiiit's card draw time again! Yes, it was just card time a little while ago. Yes, the last card draw time lasted longer than I meant it to. But I'm still nervous about in-person readings for the festival this month and I'm hoping doing more draws now will prepare me for it a little better, so here we are.

I am offering free one-to-three card Tarot readings. Let me know if you have a question or a focus, and if you know how many cards you want or if I should choose. Feel free to ask questions if you're not sure; I'm happy to discuss and figure out what will fit best.

Decks available are under the cut, or, if you feel adventurous and want to help me test a gimmick -- give me your Hogwarts House and I'll draw from the appropriate deck! You can also let me pick the deck if you have no preference.

Or, if you'd rather pick yourself, this time around I have:
* Tarot Draconis
* Linestrider
* Ghosts and Spirits
* Robin Wood (testing; subject to being swapped out, but if you have a strong preference for it, I'll see what I can do)

Nope, you're good! :D

My Ravenclaw deck is Ghost and Spirits, which gave me three cards for you; since you're unfamiliar with the cards, I'll go through them one by one before giving you the overall meaning together. Feel free to ask questions if you have any.

Seven of Cups: The "daydream" card. There are many options in front of you, and you're too busy imagining where they might lead to pick one. Maybe it's fear or worry that has you stalled, trying to figure out every consequence before deciding, or maybe you're enjoying the freedom of choice, but sooner or later, you're going to have to choose.
Four of Swords: Rest and relaxation, particularly after a turbulent time. This doesn't always mean things are over -- it often can be the eye of the hurricane, the calm in the middle of the storm, but it's a time to gather your strength before the next fight.
Five of Cups: It's easy to get distracted with what you've left behind and ignore what you have. Don't cry over spilled milk -- there are good things, if you pay attention.

So, applying this to your question about your career path:

I think it definitely could be the right one. But in the end, I don't think the message is necessarily that there's one right path and you're definitely on it -- I think the message is that you absolutely can MAKE this the path that you need. There may be temptation to dwell on other options you haven't tried (Seven of Cups), there may even be a surge of nostalgia for something more familiar (Five of Cups) -- don't let those things distract you from where you are.

The Four of Swords in the middle tells me that you're in a good place right now -- what you've picked is good for you, but don't overload yourself immediately. Take a minute to relax, regroup, and maybe even reform your plans, and then head forward, with your eye on the prize and your strength intact.

Are you going to laugh if I say I almost cried when I read that?

But thank you - it's probably a lot more accurate than you know. Thank you x

Not at all. I have nearly cried at many tarot readings before, both out of relief and frustration -- I spent about two or three years getting the same thing over and over and over and I very nearly cried and threw some decks at the wall in that period.

I hope it can help. <3
