Sargon and the Tarot for August 10, 2008

You can never go wrong doing a Tarot reading to shed light and insight upon those irksome problems. Here is a reading I did for a client. (click to enlarge)

This type of spread features five sections: The Center (C), the upper right (UR), the upper left (UL), the lower right (LR), and the lower left (LL).

The Center: This shows the question as posed by the Client. Revealed wisdom is that a 5 card here shows 'a divided mind'. This person is divided between pleasant contemplation (the four of cups) and a great work (the ace of pentacles). The five here is one of victorious action. This person is planning a great work, and this project is in the initiation stage.

Now the powerful ten of swords at the juncture of a wing indicates that the path following will not happen. Note that the ten is in the Lower Left, which is the guideposts, or indicators of future events.

The Lower Left: This client has absolutely no idea what the future will bring. He has an idea, one of King of Cups/ Page of Cups, which is a message (page) of order and calm (king). This is not going to happen. Instead, the client should be warned to expect turbulence, and excitement.

The Upper Left This wing shows the alternate path. It shows disappointment (the three of swords) over a orderly and calm event. Of course this is shown, because this project is not going to plod along as planned.

The Lower Right: This is an awesome collection of cards in this position. The eight of cups shows a man advancing towards the happiness beyond expectation (the nine of cups) reinforced by victory (nine of wands). This person is destined to leave behind his contemplation and advance towards success!

The Upper Right: This is the path that the client is planning to take. Indeed, the ace of wands is a card ideas in the formative universe, not having manifested in form. The three of wands is a card of leadership, foresight, and exploration. Indeed, this person is starting on a journey with a map that is not accurate, but his skills will lead to victory and success. He will receive a message to this effect soon (the page of swords).

General notes: Cards of the same suit beside each other modify and express themselves more powerfully (e.g. the 8 and 9 in the LR; the ace and 3 in the UR; the king and page in the LL); as do cards of the same number beside each other (the two nines in the LL). To an extent, cards above and below each other have this effect as well.

In summary, the client is beginning an adventure. His expected path to victory is not what is going to be the path he takes. From the turbulence, he can expect growth and happiness beyond expectation.
