Lily organised for me to have a quick reading with her friend Beverly today. I'd always been wary about Tarot, but Lily assured me that Beverly's readings were always positive, never dark.
I went to level 4 of UE Shopping Mall at the appointed time. As I shuffled the cards, 3 immediately fell out: wheel of fortune & two "9" cards. This signified that I was in a closure phase of my life, and anything can happen in future.
Then when I was done wth shuffling, she asked me to cut the deck into 3 and choose one. I went for the middle pile (as 90% do), which was also the smallest. She kept asking me to draw pairs of cards. On & on & on till there were no cards left from that pile. She was amazed that I had picked a pile with exactly the right number of cards. Very rare indeed!
Looking at past first, she saw that I had a horrid past. The first card had me lying face down with 10 knives in my back! Frightening thing though, is that I'd spent my entire life trying to avoid (and failing) being stabbed in the back! The 10 knives also signified problems with my mother. Well, well, well... The other signified that I'd given all my power away. Again, true.
Then looking at the present, she sees the Empress, which is a card of nurturing. There were quite a few cards with nurturing & caring & healing, particularly of women. My past drives me to care for & heal other women. She wondered if I studied psychology & felt that I should.
There were 2 cards signifying travel. One was next to one with revival of abandoned plans. She said I had to go on my trip... to America! Lo and behold, in the same stack was the one & only card with stars & stripes.
She said I had to go, and it had to be in July, before the new cycle comes in in August.
In August, all my plans will come to fruition, and the new man will enter at that stage. She sees him as a younger man, possibly psychologist, earth sign.
She also sees me writing and bringing my work abroad.
The central cards were markedly obviously "lonely". There was no other figure with me in them. This showed that I have been on this journey alone & pretty much unsupported till now.
I have to say that I'm impressed by the entire reading. I never expected to be! I'll be back after August to see how the cards change in the new cycle.
