[color=a187be]“For this reading I will be doing a 6 card spread with what I like to simply call the journey ahead. You will draw 6 cards and place them in a rough shape of a boat. So the first two, representing the path behind and the path ahead will be placed here.”[/color] She motions that the cards will be placed next to one another. [color=a187be]“The next two, headwind, or challenges, and tailwind, or things that will help, will be placed here.”[/color] Once again motioning to the spots the cards will be placed, tailwind placed beside path ahead and headwind placed above tailwind. [color=a187be]“And finally the last two, guidance and destination will be placed here.”[/color] She motions for the last two cards to be placed similar to the first two on the other side of the 3rd and 4th card. After the brief explanation she spreads the deck of cards face down on her table and motions for the woman to draw her six. [color=a187be]“Draw the cards that speak to you, I know it may seem silly since you can’t see the faces but just trust me on this.”[/color] It was a sentence she had said to many a new or skeptical client. She waited as Sanzoku laid out the cards in their positions and then, with a deep sigh she began the reading, flipping the cards one by one as she explained the cards and their meanings. Each card clearly old and hand painted. [Hider=My VERY novice reading if you are interested] [i]You can choose to use this or your own. I just went a little extra[/i] [color=a187be]“The first card represents the past and though many believe the past to be unimportant it is the baseline of what the future holds. The Ten of Swords, this card often signifies ending or defeat, an aspect of your life has come to a close and there is little to no hope of restoring it to what it once was.”[/color] [color=a187be]“The second card represents the path ahead. It will represent what you will encounter in the future and what you should focus on or be mindful of. The Devil, this card represents bondage or restriction, though the card itself is rather ominous it is telling you to be mindful of the things that may shackle you to former ideals, perhaps a change in your way of thinking will come to pass in the near future, perhaps those changes are already in motion as we speak.” [/color] [color=a187be]“The third card is the headwind, it is something that may challenge you in the future. The Queen of Swords, this card usually represents an individual who bears any upset they may feel with courage and fortitude. The card being in this position could indicate that accepting any difficulties that arise without showing fear or dismay could halt your progress to the future. Perhaps showing others your fears and worries would be good for you going forward.”[/color] [color=a187be]“The fourth card is your tailwind, the thing that will pick up your sails and help you move forward. Ah, ironic, the Queen of Cups, the card that represents the feeling and expression of one’s emotions. As I suspected, ignoring your feelings will only hold you back, delving deeper into your own feelings and desires is the way to move forward.” [/color] [color=a187be] “The fifth card is your guidance once again represents something to be mindful of, however this is your advice should the path ahead become foggy. The nine of cups, typically called the wish card, be mindful of the relationships you have made, enjoy them, and also remember to enjoy yourself, focus on making your dreams a reality.”[/color] [color=a187be]“The sixth and final card represents your destination, or the likely result of your current path, however remember that you are at the helm of your life and steer it in the directions you desire. The six of Pentacles, a card that represents balance and aid whether giving or receiving. It indicates that you may be on one side of an unbalanced scale, you may have something someone needs or someone may give you something you may need, no matter the circumstance the scales will be balanced at the end of it. No one person is always on the giving or receiving end of the scale. So long as you heed the warnings of previous cards you will end up in a situation where only you can offer the aid someone needs, or you may find yourself in a situation where you are in need of aid and someone will be there for you.”[/color][/hider] When she was finished, she looked up at Sanzoku, wondering what the woman thought of the information given to her. Would the reading upset her, would she be pleased? Himaru wasn’t too sure honestly.
