Sometimes my personal tarot card readings are so shockingly relevant and enlightening that I have to pause and catch my breath. Such was the case last night when I was looking for insight into how I should approach my last semester of grad school. I’m not going to offer you my interpretation of the reading — I’d rather not share that kind of information — but I do want to record what cards came up (I used a traditional Celtic Cross spread). Here’s what Fate seems to have in store for me:

1. King of Wands
2. Wheel of Fortune
3. Five of Swords
4. Eight of Wands
5. The Fool
6. Five of Wands
7. King of Cups
8. Eight of Pentacles
9. The Tower
10. Three of Pentacles

Several things surprised me about this reading. I love how accurate the relationship is between the King of Wands and the Wheel of Fortune; that’s exactly where I’m at. And the Five of Swords speaks a truth that I know is apparent to those around me but that I tend to ignore myself.

The Fool and The Tower have me both excited and fearful. I have a sense of what they may imply, but we’ll see if it pans out. I’m also looking forward to verifying (or disproving!) the Five of Wands tonight when I meet with some potential team members.

Seeing the Eight of Pentacles come up in Position 8 was humbling. I’m not sure I trust it, but it would be nice. And let’s not forget about the Three of Tentacles in Position 10. What a pleasant surprise! It’s so nice to see you there!

All in all I’m left feeling both anxious and reassured. I’m sure this post means nothing to 98% of you, but it means something to me :)  Fleeting posts shall resume tomorrow :)
