Awww, and there I was thinking you were just going to tell me that I wasted my 1,000th post in your thread. 😉 Now don’t _you_ feel special? There are lots of "could be"s in that, but the job thing is fairly somewhat accurate-though I am currently working, I am seriously looking, because I have the feeling this job won’t be lasting too much longer. Thanks. 🙂 ---

Female, 21, medium brown hair (and owner of four tarot decks, but I’m always looking for a second opinion. 😃 ) My question, should you have time to answer it, is a common one: What do I have to do to find some love in this town? Oh, and I’m a Gemini, which means ironically enough that one of the cards often used to represent me is The Lovers. No fair! 🙂 ---

Lets see here brown hair (one or two grays in it), male, 33 years old, and my question is: What the hell should I be doing in my life to make me happy? ---

Female 28 Redhead. Maybe you could just do a general one - I’m sort of curious about my love life - like if I’ll ever have one - but I’m not sure that I’m _concerned_ exactly. Al. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rosebud \* > \*\*Female, dark blond or light brown depending on who you ask, and just turned 30 yesterday. > > (I was just telling a friend yesterday that I’d never had a reading done!) \*\* Around you: 8 of wands - Great haste, approach to a goal Crossing you: unexpected turn of luck, new conditions, success Beneath you: 8 of cups, reversed - Interest in success, spiritual abandoned for the physical Behind you: 4 of swords, reversed - renewed activity, movement in one’s affairs Above you: Chariot, reversed - desire for change or a possibility of ill health Ahead of you: 2 of swords - unstable effort, partial success You fear: instability Others feel: Dreams, castles in the air Your hopes: 2 of pentacles, reversed - enforced gaiety, inability to handle two situations at once? Final Outcome: Hindrances, setbacks. (sorry, I forgot to write down the cards in a couple of places) Interpretation: You have just started a new job, or a new project at work. It looks like this change represents an increase in responsibility, or a move towards what you want to do. You are pushing yourself hard to succeed, trying to work as quickly as possible. You need to be careful and slow down some, however. If you continue as you are doing now, you will not do as well as you could, and you might make yourself ill. Be aware that the Tarot is based on a deterministic philosophy; although this reading doesn’t look that good, if you concentrate on doing your best job and taking care of yourself, you can turn it around. ---
