[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)

I went with a specific three-card spread that seemed like it might work, with the Hufflepuff deck, Linestrider:

Something you can change: The Sun. The Sun is all about hope and optimism -- you may not be able to control your surroundings, but you can control how you face the world and whether or not you stop trying. (Note that I'm not trying to say it's as easy as not letting it get to you or anything -- I know how frustrating it is to hear that and how impossible it can be, in a lot of situations. But you can work on climbing forward and not let setbacks knock you back forever, and that's much more important.)

Something you can't change: The Seven of Swords. Thievery and deception. People are going to try to take things from you -- maybe physically, or maybe your good moods, your attention, your energy; maybe they want to try and take your progress even, by claiming credit for what you've done or telling you it's not enough. You can keep an eye out, you can fight them, but if someone's trying to take things from you or lie to you, you're not going to be able to make them see why they're hurting you or doing you wrong. Focus on keeping yourself safe and recovering from your losses when they do happen, not on changing them.

Something you're unaware of or advice going forward: Linestrider gave me two cards for this: the Six of Swords and the Queen of Pentacles. The Six of Swords is change, travel, and slowly moving towards better times coming; the Queen of Pentacles is grounded and calm, nurturing, and stable. I think the message is that you're heading in the right direction -- there's still a road ahead of you, but it's one you're capable of making your way through. You have a lot of good and even ground ahead of you, and you've got it in you to get there, even if there's a few rocky spots along the way for now.
