Hello All, Sorry I haven't been on in a few days. I went to hospital in a Hypo and found out I'm diabetic... This Depressed me ALOT but, I had my Universal Waite Deck and a book called "The Tarot Bible" by Sarah Bartlett...

So I picked it up and began to study.

These are My first ever Readings so please be as brutal as possible so I know if I done something wrong!

My Card Of The Day

Justice - Time To balance the problems in my life. It's a day to accept what I am now and start a fresh new lifestyle. It's time to gain harmony with my body and taking responsibility for what I eat.

Daily Spread
3 Card Spread

Daily Card

Justice! - I Assure You I Rigorously Shuffled The Pack And Cut It 3 Times! I Was Stunned!!

Justice - Time To balance the problems in my life. It's a day to accept what I am now and start a fresh new lifestyle. It's time to gain harmony with my body and taking responsibility for what I eat.
(Used Same Interpretation As I Believe It was Correct )

Attend To This Card
The Hanged Man

I may feel my world has been turned upside down but I should take a little time out to attend to the sacrifices I will have to take from now on. It's time to step back and take a new perspective on the situation so I can move on.

What To Look Out For
Temperance
Today I shall have to gain self control, this shall lead to the healing needed to progress for the day, I will have to moderate the aspects inmy life to achieve the correct baalnce that the Justice card implies!

___________________________________________________


This was my next spread I decided to attempt! "The Love Test"
It's a 7 Card Spread.

Card 1 - My Love Goal
The Star

My love goal is one of success, I aim for an ideal love or partner, one who will inspire me and shall bring me new trust in my future partners. And allow me to freely give my love to them.

(I don't trust my partners after a damaging past experience with my Ex and best friends... join the dots lol so rather accurate I thought!)


Card 2 - What I Have To Offer
Knight Of Pentacles - Upright

The Knight of Pentacles suggests that I am a faithful companion, who is slow to involve myself in love. It shows I am hardworking and realistic when it comes to relationships.


Card 3 - What I Lack
Eight Of Swords - Upright

The Eight of Swords suggests I lack restriction, that I enjoy freedom and self indulgence too much. I believe the bound and blindfolded woman symbolically suggests I should listen more instead of using my other sense in relationships.

(Like how the blind gain more acute hearing)

Card 4 - What I Don't Want In A Partner
Five Of Wands - Upright

The Five of Wands signifies that I don't want competition or rivalry. That I  don't wish for a partner who is hassled or hassles me with other other peoples opinions on the relationship. Also I don't wish for a partner who won't let me know where I stand so I feel the need to fight over them, Or for them.

Card 5 - What I Do Want In A Partner
Five of Pentacles - Reversed

This card suggests I want a partner who feels alone, so I can make them feel loved. A partner who feels there are hardships. I also believe this is because I show my love through helping and healing their emotional wounds. I believe the 2 figures in the cold and snow walking together symbolize that i wish for a partner who will stand by me through the hardships life and relationships bring. This ties with the Knight of Pentacles suggesting I am Hardworking.

Card 6 - The Heart Of The Matter
The Empress
The draw of The Empress suggests my problem with getting a relationship is possibly over indulgence or that i am to nurturing or possessive. Which could possibly scare potential partners away.
It suggests I need to create harmony inmy life to finish the trials in my life (Diabetes?)

Card 7 - What I Can Do To Make This Work
Nine Of Swords - Bloackage Position - Upright
I believe this card signifies that the darkest hour is always just before the dawn. It symbolizes that I need to let go of my past relationships and stop overwhelming myself with the emotions of the past. I need to explore the illusions immobilizing me and break free.

Well what do you think for my first ever readings. I thought they were quite good and they gave me courage and hope in the face of my new found condition. Please write me!

I have to go back into hospital, there is blood in my urine. I'll reply as soon as I can.

Thank You So Much!!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{loren Paul}}}}}}}}}}}}}  sending you much love and hugs for a speedy recovery to balance

Your reading is fantastic!  Well done!

One comment though... heehee had to be one?



I think that the Knight of Pentacles shows so much more, the essence of all the Knight's is their energy, enthusiasm, drive and movement. They do not keep still, they travel and move and explore and defend what they believe in, they are fiercely loyal and dedicated to their task and loved ones too  You have plenty to offer!


Good luck and hurry back I will add you to my healing list, if that's ok?

Hi Dol,

I have to do this, you need some humor.

With the Knight of Pentacles on a slow lumbering horse, at least he won't gallop of into the sunrise,

All my love!
Blessed be

I'm back!! it's ok! it wasn't blood it's some medication they gave me and forgot to notify me about!!

And thank you so much for your comments!

Thanks for the input gem! it's nice to know Knights are like that! makes me feel like I could get myself a woman when i go back to uni in a few weeks! although... no more sugar infested beer... WAAA :'(

thank you so much for putting me on your healing list Gem!

Now.. I Think I'm going to attempt a few more readings! i've gained a little bit of confidence!

|L.p.

Geez, Sethicus, I wish my own first readings had been so accurate. It must really give you confidence to go on.

I am so sorry about your condition. I am trying hard not to develop it myself, since I am also sensitive to glucose and it would mean losing my job, so I am probably eating more or less what they will tell you to: low carb. Actually, it's pretty good when you get used to it: lots of things to choose from.

Keep us posted on your Tarot reading, you seem to be a natural! Have a huge hug {{{{{{{{Sethicus}}}}}}}}}}}
