Why, thank you!
And thank you very much for the reading, Madame. 
Am I too late to drop in? I’ve had several Tarot readings done in the past but they were always done by friends, so those readings were a bit biased I think. I’d love to have one from someone who doesn’t know me at all to see if my scepticism towards it is valid. Also, I’m very interested in which way my love life is leading.
I’m male, 26, blonde and blue/grey eyes.
Sweet thang, did you get worn out before you got to me, or did some horrible care come up, spelling out my demise?
Hope you are well.
I haven’t forgotten or given up! I just had an unfortunate (and stupid) accidental cut on my left finger that made it painful to shuffle. I’ll get back to it as soon as I can without getting blood on the cards…
Wait a minute…I am one!
Take care of your hand, and get to me when you can.
I have lived 45 years not knowing…what is a few more days?
Madame Zyada, I beseech you! Please tell me if the rest of life will be worth living!
And will the Dodgers pull it out this year?

Ooh, any room for a newbie? I love tarot readings and the like, so I’ll worship you forever if you’d do me (err, in a tarot sense, I mean).
15, female, light brown hair. Nothing specific I want to know, really, except - what would you say about my current relationship and where it’s heading?
When, oh, when will it ever be my turn? Please heal quickly Madame Zyada, for I need thy help.
I’d like to specify my inquiry a little. I’d like to know whether I should be patient, or if I should say enough is enough.
Well, I girded my loins and started shuffling again…
Since you wanted to know about the start of a business venture, I chose to use the Ace of Wands (Beginning of an enterprise) for your significator.
Your cards:
Covering you: King of Wands, reversed - A man who is severe and ruthless.
Crossing you: 6 of cups - Happiness, pleasant memories, meeting with a childhood acquaintance, or new friendships
Beneath you: 3 of pentacles, reversed - Preoccupation with gain
Behind you: 9 of pentacles - Material well-being, wisdom where one’s own interests lie
Above you: 5 of cups, reversed - New alliances formed - return of an old friend or loved one.
Ahead of you: 7 of swords, reversed - Possibility of unexpected good, sound advice, wishes about to be fulfilled
Your fears: Wheel of fortune, reversed - Failure of an enterprise
How others feel: 6 of pentacles, reversed - jealousy, bribery
Your hopes: 8 of swords, reversed - new beginnings now possible; relaxation from fear
Final Outcome: Weakness, disillusion, failure to find happiness.
Interpretation: Several of your cards are so apropos as to look like I selected them out of the deck rather than coming from a shuffle (I didn’t!) Since I centered the reading on your enterprise, the severe and ruthless man is probably you. Your possible and probable future with this business looks to be quite good; after all, your wishes are about to be fulfilled. And quite possibly you have new alliances to be formed. Interestingly, two cards mentioned that you might be meeting an old friend soon. If you do, be cautious in your relationship with this person, because one of these cards is in the position crossing you indicating a force that will work against you. If this card doesn’t indicate an old friend, it could instead be telling you to not let the SDMB (and all your new friends here) interfere with your business (too much). I only see two clouds on your horizon: one is that a person near to you will be jealous of your success (perhaps the old friend mentioned previously). And you may not find the business as rewarding as you anticipate. However, the cards do indicate that it will be successful, and soon.

Will I somehow figure out how the heck my mind is supposed to work?
Wow, she got to me…thank you, Madame Zyada Just one thing though…severe and ruthless??? Me???
Dear Madam,
Are you no longer reading cards?
Jenny*
P.S. Good job however on the ones you did do. Very nice of you.
Your cards:
Covering you: Ace of Wands - Beginning of a family or enterprise
Crossing you: The hermit - Attainment of goals, a journey ma be necessary in order to gain knowledge
Beneath you: 10 of wands, reversed - Emigration
Behind you: 7 of wands - Victory through courage, sucess against opposition
Above you: Six of pentacles - Gain in material undertaking, Others will share with you justly.
Ahead of you: 4 of swords, reversed - Renewed activity, movemin in one’s affairs. A caution to be wise, economical
Your fears: 5 of swords, reversed - Sorrow, weakness, empty victory
How others feel: 8 of cups, reversed - Interest in success, hou, feasting, a new love
Your hopes: The emperor - leadership, the fruits of toil, controlled and directed sexual drive 
Final Outcome: Posssiblity of unexpected good, wishes about to be fulfilled
Interpretion: The problem I had with this reading is that it didn’t tell me much that I didn’t already know from reading the boards! I knew that you were beginning a family soon (This doesn’t mean kids to me, IMO when two people who truly love each other get married, they become a family), that you moved from another country, that people are wishing you joy and happiness, and that you were hoping for a directed sexual drive I could have even guessed that your wishes are about to be fulfilled. Your past, success against opposition is clearly about the hoops you had to go through to get here. I only found two things in this reading that surprised me. The attainment of your goals may be working against you in some way - make sure that you don’t let this cause problems. Also you fear sorrow, perhaps more than normal. There is also an indication that you may have monetary success in the future.
Still, I wanted to know some more (which is why I got that second terrible reading - it’s almost like the cards were saying, yeah, yeah forget about her, this is what’s important) (or maybe I’m just weird) So I did one more reading and got this:
Your cards:
Covering you: 10 or swords - Ruin of plans and projects, tears will fall, advice to give charity freely to those in need.
Crossing you: Strength - higher nature over carnal desires
Beneath you: The star, reversed - pessimism, doubt
Behind you: 2 of pentacles, reversed - simulated enjoyment
Above you: 10 of cups - Contemtment, perfection of human love, peacemaking
Ahead of you: 7 of swords - a plan that may fail, partial success
Your fears: Page of swords, reversed - possibility of ill health
How others feel: 3 of wands - realization of hope, partnership
Your hopes: The sun - A good marriage, material happiness, studies completed.
Final outcome: Death, reversed - Political upheaval, tendency to inertia
Interpretation: This reading started out with the ten of swords; IMO this is the most terrible card in the deck. But that is appropriate at this terrible time of our lives, and indicates that you are being directly affected by the attack. It looks like your feelings about the tragedy have recently interfered with your ability to enjoy life. If you can get past this, you will have a nearly perfect marriage, just like you are hoping for. You have some other plans that may not work out the way you want them to, be prepared for this. Finally, it looks like current events will continue to have an effect on your life.

Wondering about relocation
Madame Zyada, I am trying to approach this with an open mind, only reading enough of the thread to learn if you are joking. So,
Male, brown hair, mid-40s
If you’ve been paying attention, most of my life is on this board. Let’s see what you remember–I mean, tell me about my main concern.
Your cards:
Covering you: 8 of cups - Seeker may desire to leave material success for something higher, journeying from place to place
Crossing you: High priestess - unrevealed future, hidden influences
Beneath you: The fool, reversed - Folly, indiscretion
Behind you: Page of cups - News, or querent is drawn to the arts. Possibly a melancholy teen or child.
Above you: Queen of wands, reversed - A domineering or obstinate person, probably a woman
Ahead of you: Ace of wands - Beginning of an enterprise, family or adventure
Your fears: 6 of wands, reversed - Rewards are delayed
How others feel: Knight of cups - A dreamer of sensual delights, or a young man with light brown hair
Your hopes: Knight of pentacles, reversed - Stagnation in one’s affairs
Final Outcome: Knight of Wands, reversed - Discord, work interfered with, a would-be lover turns jealous
Interpretation: You are dissatisfied with your life; you want a simpler, more meaningful existance. This is you have made some errors, and also because of a young person that you knew who was depressed. This person is out of your life now. You still have obstacle, notable a woman (maybe your mother?) who’s domineering tendencies or obstinacy may interfere with your search. Don’t let this stop you, your desires are leading you into adventure. You’re also afraid that the search will take too long, but there are also hidden forces holding you back. There may be a guy (possibly with light brown hair) that people want to see you with, but I’m not sure that he is the best person for you; since there seems to be a male that will interfere with your search.
