LAURIE, QUEEN OF WANDS

The first card I turn is the Three of Swords. A change has recently occurred in your life. Madame feels you are currently in the grips of a heartache due to this change. I see a powerful transformation -- within yourself or someone you are close to. I feel it is yourself.

Communication is the key.

You currently find yourself in a situation of little control. You have spent time waiting. You are waiting. This is related to something you can do nothing about, which causes you great frustration.

You have recently emerged from a period of struggle for personal independence.

In the future you will need go along with the changes around you. In this way you can turn them to your advantage.

You have reached a new maturity and are poised at the doorway, a strong female, the Queen of Swords. Yet I see a barrier between the queen and others. I’m not sure what this means.

You are a newly hatched Page of Cups, breaking free, making new contacts and spreading your wings. This is a time for celebrating. Indulge yourself and appreciate yourself for who you are.

The overview cards is the Queen of Wands. This is the suit of enterprise and risk-taking. This card impacts the entire spread. You are a dynamic, creative woman of great resolve. You are facing challenges, you are up to the task, and you are looking to the future with a sense of freshness and enthusiasm. Organized and produce!

As I look over the reading, it seems the first part – the past – portrays one person, the old Laurie; the second part – the present and future, portrays the new Laurie. You have recently undergone a period of transformation and good things are ahead. Like Madame always says, there’s nothing wrong with being strong and being female.

Burn your bra, burn your apron, pour yourself a drink, and enjoy the next chapter of your life.
