WELCOME TO THE FUTURE AND THE PAST AND THE DARK CORNERS OF YOUR HEART

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE AND THE PAST AND THE DARK CORNERS OF YOUR HEART

The doorway to the future is now open. Please don't attempt to bribe Madame Sosostris with promises of sweets and exotic teas. She accepts no fees for her readings, believing that to take coin for such a gift would condemn her to the land of the dead and a hereafter of giant, talking centipedes.

Dearest yesterday: Please DO let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.


For LK




  The cards tell Madame that you are currently fixating on something undeserving of the fixation. The past. The past might be a part of who we are now, but it does no good to regret what is no longer, be it a man, a job, a city, a lifestyle, or the entire chocolate cake you ate last night.


But in your regret you aren't delusional, and you acknowledge that you must calmly move forward while wrapping yourself in your own strength.

Ah, now Madame turns the third card, the Six of Cups, that also speaks of a longing for the old days!  My, you are feeling nostalgic. This card by itself would make me think you are feeling playful, but in unison with previous cards… Perhaps you are unwilling to let go of some aspect of your past.  Will this lead to a deeper exploration so you can once and for all be done with it?

And who are you? What is the past you've left behind? In my next turn, I see a charming and restless and adventurous spirit who has traveled a road worthy of navel-gazing.  In the more recent past, I see a period of rest and stepping back, but it could also be a period of frustrating delay.

In the future position, after we've kicked the past in the ass and out the door, I see the Nine of Coins, a very good card in this position. My dear one, prepare to enjoy the fruits or fruit drinks of your labor. The grapes have been harvested, feet have stomped the hell out of them, and now they are finally wine.

In the doorway from the present to the future, I turn over the Star.  Another lovely card, and a nice one to see in this position. To hell with the past, this is the now and the near future, baby. You are filled with hope and inspiration, along with some sort of newly found realization. This could be about life in general, or about work, or some creative project. Get out you sunglasses. You are going to need them, my darling.

On to card number eight in a position that deals with your current environment. You are bravely and methodically cutting down your problems one at a time in order to achieve your goal.
Also tied to this is the next card, the Three of Wands, which tells me along with your methodical battle, you are also going places experimentally that others are not yet ready to go. Everything you do is progress and leads to the goal. Out of my way, don't interrupt; I have a castle to storm.

Overview card: Six of Swords. Ah, nice one.  Alone, this card means you are leaving difficulties behind. Combined with the spread, it means all of your hard work will soon pay off.  You've made it.  Now Madame can't say if this means you've made it to the top of one hill only to see a shitload of other hills, or if you've made it to the top of the highest mountain and you only have to maintain your footing and keep your oxygen tank on your back and your mask in place.  Whatever the case, this is a good spread.

You past? Screw it. Your future? Get out the 100 SPF.

This is the type of reading I would love to see, LK.

That has occultism/idolatry
written ALL over the tarot.
Puh-leeze don’t do that anymore.
Or I fear for your very soul
which is very indelible.
