Today's Reading

Past: Justice


The Book says: Justice is about cold, objective balance through reason or natural force. This is the card that tells the Querent that they can't keep smoking and drinking without consequences to their health. It is the card that advises cutting out waste and insists that the Querent make adjustments, do whatever is necessary to bring things back into balance: physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually.

I say: You can't have your cake and eat it. You can't have the girl and your old friends too.

Present: The Devil


The Book says: Perhaps the most misunderstood card of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. With Capricorn as its ruling sign, this is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction.

I say: Temptation... How very very true. He should resist the temptation!

Future: The Emperor (reversed)


The Book says: When reversed, the Emperor indicates egocentricity, a need to dominate, fixed opinions, immaturity, and an obsession with fame and fortune.

I say: What a fitting description of her.
