Journal: Tarot
If anyone is looking for the enormous book on Tarot Interpretation that's been in the Corner every day since we opened, I've got it.

My card is the Nine of Swords which apparently means something lost or stolen, no time for a gamble. So I guess I won't be putting money on Ballycastle winning the league.

Who else got their fortune told on Saturday? I'm bored and curious, which is a pretty dangerous combination. Also willing to look stuff up if anyone else wants to know what their tarot cards supposedly mean.

	Tell me The Lovers means something other than the obvious, because otherwise the woman is off her fucking rocker. (Reply to this) (Thread)

From what I remember, sometimes it's less obvious than love and has to two with inner duality, like yin and yang within people. It isn't always about love, but it can be. But it could also be about special relationships like the mentor/mentee relationship some people have, work related relationships. If I remember, it's one of the cards that has to do with choices as well, and it can be a literal "follow your heart" thing, or if you're trying to decide between two things or if you've got some kind of moral dilemma. But it can also be a case of being blind-sided by love, though love doesn't have to be romantic between two people. It can be about harmony between you and someone else or you and something else (like an animal, a job, a house, whatever, really, that you may "fall in love with").

	Oh thank fuck for that. Not that any of that is making it clearer for me, but at least it's not likely to be the obvious, because that would be fucking weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sometimes it can be really obvious, but other times it really isn't at all obvious. I think, ultimately, just remember it isn't always about romantic and/or sexual love, change and choices may happen (which could require a "heart" over "head" type of choice), and harmonious relations with you and other people or things in your life. At least, that's how I'd interpret it without much else to go by.

The basic interpretation, according to Marabel le Morgana (which is the fakest and most absurd pen name I've ever seen) is 'a test which you will past, a new love'.

The more detailed explanation talks about 'harmonious union' and choices and also something about accessing a higher power, which I'll write out for you if you're interested in that sort of thing. Or 'the integration of two conflicting parts of yourself'.

	Oh flowery bullshit then. Excellent. I just couldn't get past the obvious and I was fucking confused. (Reply to this) (Parent)
