Tarot
There are many types of fortune telling cards on the market these days and not all of them are tarot cards. The tarot is a specialised set of cards that have a very long history. Some have even claimed that they derive from the ancient egyption civilisation, but I think they are more likely to be european in origin.
A tarot deck is similar to an ordinary deck of playing cards in that both have four suits numbered from ace to ten. Im the tarot therse are reffered to as the minor arcana and instead of the suits being clubs, hearts, spades and diamonds, they are wands, cups, swords and pentacles. Unlike the ordinary cards, each suit has four court cards rather than three: king, queen, knight and page, making 56 cards in the minor arcana.In addition to the minor cards, the tarot deck has twenty-two 'extra' cards, known as the major arcana, these dont belong to any suit but have their own number (with exception of the fool),a symbolic image and a title.
I have studied tarot for many years, around 10 and have done hundreds of readings over this time, it is something I both enjoy and have a gift for. I do various spreads depending on the question(s) being asked and on the individual. I will include some examples of my readings (omiting names) shortly, keep your eyes peeled!
case study 1- example of a 3 card reading
case study 2-example of a full reading
case study 3-example of a full reading
case study 1- a lady asked me for a 3 card reading looking at trying to concieve and if/when she was likely to have her baby. Below is her reading.
ok hun I choose 3 cards using the numbers that you gave me. The first card I turned over for you hun was the empress card, I think you had this before it is the only card to directly represent motherhood, children and pregnancy. The other two cards were cup cards which represents love. The ace of cups, which was one of them can also show pregnancy and the start of a love (ie pregnancy/baby). The other card was the queen of cups which I think describes you- it shows a woman with fair hair who is warm and loving, devoted to those she loves. It is very probable that you are either pregnant or will be VERY soon, ie next month. There is pregnancy all around you, two cards out of the 3 showing a baby, out of 78 cards thats pretty impressive! lol OK also as I shuffled the II of cups fell out, this card shows a renewed healthy relationship, a partnership getting better and an end to feelings of annomosity and hurt.
Over all this is a very good reading for you

case study 2- a woman asked me to look at her family life in general and trying to concieve. her reading is below.
First of all I did a 3 card reading, this is the most basic reading and I used 3 of the numbers that you gave me to select the cards. The cards basically, in simple terms represent your past, present and future and I did this spread with relation to your family life in general. The first card was the X of wands. This card tells me that you take on too much, you are stressed and work really hard, sometimes doing more than you should! things will be difficult however you will successfully complete your work even though the price in terms of health and anxiety may be high if you dont go easy on yourself. perhaps some obligations have to go. the next card was the V of cups. this card tells me that at the minute you are not feeling 100% you blame yourself for not getting pregnant and the card shows feelings of sorrow and worthlessness and emotional hurt. however, though the card seems grim it encourages you to keep your chin up and stop crying over spilt milk as they say, look to the future. the final card in this spread was the X of cups, this card shows your future and represents peace and family happiness that is set to last. It fortells a wish fulfilled and that everything will work out for the best, it may take time but you will get your baby and I think it will be a boy :) I see blue. as I was shuffling a card fell out , have you been having money worries? this card shows improvements and that any debts you have will be paid.
Next I did a 6 card spread for you, this is a more in depth spread, to look at ttc and when you are likely to get your sticky bean :). From the cards that you drew I can see that for the forseeable future you are going to be concentrating on your studying/work. I feel you are a very caring person and this is where your strengths lie. I then dealt the cards again as I didnt feel the ones you got were related to your baby :)
the first card as with all cards that are first in a tarot spread represents your past and was the death card. Now this card very rarely means death but I think in your case it may be representing a baby you lost hun, but it is in your past which is good, its not in the future. The next two cards represent forces working for/against you. the 2nd card was the sun card and this is very posative. the sun card represents happiness, joy and children. It also shows good health. so I think you WILL get your baby hun. The other card was the Iv of swords and this card offers you advice, it shows the need to retreat from the troubles in your life and let yourself heal, you need the opertunity to sort your thoughts etc our before your body is ready for your baby hun, look after yourself and put yourself 1st sometimes. Visits to the hospital are possible though not necessarily due to illness.The next two cards show the short and long term future they were the VIII of swords and the III of cups. The sword card represents a run of bad luck, feeling down.Patient effort is needed and help is available if you ask for it. The cup card shows happiness again. It can also indicate good news regarding a wedding or christening, I see alot of celebrating for you. I see alot of heartache and sadness around you hun it made me feel very upset. The final card in this spread was the overall outcome card is the ace of swords. This card tells me you WILL get your bfp but it wont be instant and wont/hasnt been simple, you have to be persistant and then nothing will stand in your way for long.
Lastly I did a 6 month calander spread for you, this looks at the next 6 months and can also describe important people in your life, depending on the cards chosen. I will list the cards and describe each one for you.
the hanged man- a temporary pause in life. go with the flow so to speak and accept what is happening. Have patience. Rarely the hanged man can indicate illness. events around you will feel very uncertain for a bit.
the wheel of fortune-a turn for the better, due to past actions. An end to any current problems and happiness for you.
II of cups- love and understanding between two peopleemotional contentment.
IX of wands- this card is reassuring in times of stress, it shows self confidence starting to grow and strength. be patient, you have all you need to get on in life, leave the past behind you. I was quite upset doing this reading, I can feel how upset and hurt you are.
the devil- this card is a good omen for a marriage as it represents unbreakable bonds.

III of cups- celebrations, happiness and joy perhaps a pregnancy or birth :)
overall looking at the next 6 months I feel you will get your bfp and feel drawn to the number 3, maybe in around 3 months? Im not sure why as the spread says around 6 months but I dont think it will be that long for youx
you did nt ask for it but I thought Id offer you some advice on ttc? I study wicca and alternative therapies and thought it may be of some help. do you take folic acid? try pregnacare too, its in supermarkets. Red clover flowers can be dried and mixed with water to get an infusion, heat gently and sieve. It is thought that these flowers can heal scarring of the fallopian tubes, irregular menstrual cycles, abnormal cells in the reproductive tract and "unexplained" infertility.
a small dose of liferoot can help regulate hormone production, relieve menstrual pain and improve fertility.

case study 3- a woman asked for a full reading, looking at her relationships,general life, whats in store and anything concerning her mother. below is the reading.
first of all I did a 3 card reading to look at your relationships in general hun. this is a basic spread and the 3 cards represent the past present and future,to give a general idea, I will look more in depth in the next spread. The first card here was theVIII of swords, this card is in your past and shows a run of bad luck, you have been hurt and you have felt trapped and powerless. Patient effort is needed to get out of this difficult situation. Help is available if you forget pride and ask for it! Restrictions will gradually fade and you will start to feel a bit more posative. The middle card here was describing a man, it is someone who is in your life at present and will come to mean alot to you, the card shows me a strong and healthy man, his hair is probably brown and his eyes blue or hazel. he is kind and generous, makes an excellent advisor and is sexually passionate, something to look forward too then lol the final card here is the future card and in this case is the ace of cups, I see the start of a love, happy times, I will look more in depth at this in the next spread, ie when but dont worry, you will be very happy in a relationship in the future.
Next I did a 6 card reading for you again looking at your love life and what is in store as I could see this was your main area of concern. The first card here as is with the first card in any tarot spread represents your past and in this case was the wheel of fortune. From this card I get the feeling that recently things have changed for the better, have you gotten out of a bad relationship/situation in the past? dont worry things are looking up for you, the card represents an end to problems and some strokes of luck. The next two cards represent forces working for/against you. The first was theIV of swords, this card tells me you have felt the need to retreat from the troubles in your life, the oppertunity to put your thoughts in order. The card can also represent visits to the hospital though not neccesarily due to a personal illness if that means anything to you? The other card was the V of wands and wand cards are usually associated with growth, learning and work. The V card represents an exciting challange coming your way, do you work? if not perhaps some good news concerning a job or study will soon come your way, take the oppertunity. I sense you feel the need to prove yourself and this will help you to, you are a clever young woman, use that to your advantage! the next two cards in this reading represent your short term and long term future and were the VII of pentacles and the hanged man. The pentacle card shows me slow growth and forward planning, I think it is with reference to both your work/study (the previous card) and your relationships, I urge you not to rush into anything. The card shows that you are impatient, things are not working out as quickly as you like, the hanged man card also shows this! it represents a temporary pause in your life but go with the flow as things WILL happen. The final card here was the overall outcome card and was again the king of wands! this strongly represents to me that you are going to be happy with this man, things may take a while but take a chance, he will be worth it :)
lastly I did a 6 month forcast spread for you to look at the next 6 months and see if any big events are mentioned for you, or any news regarding your mum. I will list the cards and their meanings for you-
VII of pentacles- shows an oppertunity and money put to good use, someone sees the talents in you
II of cups- shows understanding between two people, I feel very strongly that this is the man in question though I feel at this point it is mostly a good friendship, set to grow.
VII of wands- good news is on its way for you
X of cups- fortells a wish fulfilled and everything working out for the best. The card shows family happiness set to last
strength card- shows emotional and physical strength, if ill health has been experienced by someone close to you a rapid improvement will iccur around now
VI of cups- shows strong links to the past, an old friend or lover who is very important to you. Past efforts will be rewarded. I feel very strongly this is about the man you mentioned and things will start to happen!
I did another quick spread with regards to your mum as you mentioned this too, I can see the start of a love for her too, is she single? if not this can indicate a marriage or renewal of vows, but deffinetly something to do with love, she also got the lovers card which tells me she will have to make a decision about something important very soon, dramatic changes in attitude will lead to happier times for her.
