I've got a week of exams and presentations coming up, if you're still doing them I'd be interested in one on how I'll do with that.

Sure thing!



We open with the Three of Wands, which is about the pride felt in one's choices and the sureness of a decent pay-off. Though I'm not sure yet whether or not you're ready to proceed to such a future thanks to the Nine of Swords. The Nine of Swords is about looming anxieties piling up - in this case, your presentations and exams - and advises taking inventory of these things in order to calmly take them on one at a time. Perhaps its suggesting that you're causing yourself to feel stressed by looking at the upcoming week as one big challenge rather than a bunch of smaller ones, and that you should prepare for each challenge individually. Good news is, though, that the next card is The Chariot - a card of taking control and emerging victorious. This is most likely the pride and pay-off seen in the Three of Wands; you've done what you need to do and now you're on top, suggesting that following the Nine of Swords' advice will lead you to a very successful exam week. Strangely, though, the last card here is The High Priestess, which can represent that which is supernatural and obscured. In its position here, it is possible its saying that the farther future is foggy and tough to predict, or perhaps even that you shouldn't be looking much farther ahead than what's in front of you right now, and instead, make sure you primarily focus on the exams and presentations in front of you now.

Another General one... I'm going to be moving via car to Washington so I wanna know how my schooling will be durring the trip... and another for the trip itself (safety wise for reasons.) :)

First, life in Washington:



This spread seems to suggest that your biggest obstacle may be your own lack of confidence.

For starters, we open with the King of Wands, which suggests a lack of ambition or drive. This is understandable, moving someplace new. Below, we see some of the specifics of what this trip will bring. Firstly, the Page of Cups, which suggests potential problems with the people you'll meet. It could either mean that you'll meet new people that you very quickly discover you don't like, or it could mean that you'll just have trouble making friends in general - not necessarily making enemies, though. Next, though, we have the Three of Pentacles, which often represents the first steps of starting something new, with early signs of progress. Given the more physical nature of the Pentacles suit, this is most likely referring to your schooling, and predicting good things ahead. Lastly, we have the Five of Wands, which is about conflict and competition. Suddenly you're finding yourself surrounded by others in your new life with whom you feel the need to measure yourself against - perhaps these new faces will make you feel outranked, or as if you don't belong.

It seems, though, that all the issues presented here come back to the King of Wands and the aforementioned lack of self-confidence - hinting at the possibility that these issues could all just be in your head, or at the very least, you're exaggerating them to proportions beyond what they really are. Perhaps all these social issues coming up really aren't the fault of the people in Washington, but more accurately reflect your own shyness or inability to get along with these new people.

---

Next, the trip itself:



A shorter response for a shorter message: this spread seems to suggest excess worrying, or perhaps over-embellishing what the trip will be like before it has even started.

We open with the Seven of Cups, the card of imagination and dreams. Beneath it, we have the Wheel of Fortune, which, in its current position represents a lack of understanding of events, or perhaps just a lack of anything interesting having happened lately. After that, we have The Emperor, which suggests an inability to take control of a situation. These three cards together seem to suggest that you may already be imagining what the trip will be like, or more accurately, worrying about it. You've come up with potential scenarios that, as the Wheel of Fortune suggest, probably won't happen. And, as The Emperor reminds you, you are not the one in-control of these events - what your mind comes up with is not likely an accurate portrayal of future events. Lastly, though, we have The Empress, which suggests allowing what will happen to happen - going with the flow, so to speak.

tl;dr - You worry too much. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Okay so for schooling: " Just fucking do it and don't dramatise why other people there don't like you." and for the trip "Stop fucking worrying about nothing." Okay I'm cool with this. Thanks :)

Should I try this out?

That's good advice for my situation, in more respects than I was actually expecting. Thanks Kaga.

This spread seems to be about failing to take advantage of opportunities, or just being blind to your options.To start, we have the Six of Pentacles - the card of giving and receiving advice. Below that, we have the Two of Pentacles and the Two of Wands, which both refer to difficulty making choices. In the Two of Pentacles' case, it means feeling like you've run out of options. In the Two of Wands' case, it means an inability to decide between the choices you have - feeling as if neither brings a good outcome. Between both of these Twos, though, we have The Fool, which is the card of limitless possibilities, as well as spontaneity and disregard for logic. Putting it all together, it looks as if you feel trapped - like your options are dwindling and you're not sure what you can do to win a fight, but, as the Six of Pentacles points out, you're failing to take advantage of something right in front of you - The Fool, encouraging you to look at everything that can be done with a limitless medium like forum roleplaying and really think outside the box. So, it seems that taking advantage of some of those possibilities is what you need to do in order to give yourself an edge. However, the Two of Wands comes after The Fool, not before, so it is possible that even after doing this, the answer still won't be clear. It's just that this time, instead of feeling like you have too few options, you have too many, and can't decide on which one would be best.

Thanks Kaga, this is actualy suprisingly fitting!
In the very start of the fight, i've been confronted by an opponent that i feel like i am least likely to beat - but your reading made me think over it again. Frankly, i am indeed a scatterbrain, often failing to cover all the possibilities in one go.

We open with the Six of Cups, which indicates that the focus of this reading will be dwelling on the past.

Going the furthest back, we have the Queen of Pentacles, which in this case suggests that you've gone through a rough patch in your life before. This may be weirdly worded, but a lack of healthy personal growth is the most literal way for me to interpret this card. Perhaps you've gone through things in your life that you feel made you into a worse person, or perhaps it was just time that you feel was wasted - time you could've used to better yourself, but didn't. Next, though, we have the Six of Wands, which represents victory. You've gotten over the struggles of your past, and now you feel triumphant. After that, though, we have the King of Cups, which suggests calming down and growing more mature. Tying this back to the Six of Cups, it's possible that it's saying you think too much about what's happened in your past. The rough patch is over, you've come out of it triumphant, and now it's time to let it go and move on.
