> [@jackdavinci](#): > > I’m ready 😃 I only have one question in mind, for which **5. “Fork-in-the-Road”** is probably best but if you are feeling ambitious, you could do a **2. One Card Reading** after, which might illuminate certain aspects of the same question better. > > ETA: I see that clothing is optional. But which attire would be optimal for my reading? 😉 Current state of mind: Are you confused about what is really true or are you being silent when in fact you need to be speaking up? Lies are being found out. You can get into a lot of trouble if you dont use common sense - this is of upmost urgency lest you wind up head over heels! There are subtle visions and inspirations if you pay close attention. They may come in fantasies, dreams, and daydreams but can also pop up unanounced in the midst of the most ordinary activities - washing the dishes, driving the car, bathing, or anywhere else that your mind is half occupied and half running on idle. Pay special attentions to onsought inspirations at this time. They have something wonderufl to offer you, but it is up to you to catch them and bring them to reality. You’re preferred choice: You may be lost in a dream or you have become so vague and diffused that you are insufficiently earthed to be able to keep commitments - ot to remember you have made tham. Self absorption, moodiness, and self-deceipt can be problems. Altogether, unreliability and untrustworthiness are a real problem. Be careful that you are not using your empathic understanding of the needs, hopes, and dreams of others to attempt to lure them into self-destructive ways, especially by playing on their illusions, delusions, and confusions - and most of all, be careful that you do not find yourself trapped in this web of manipulation and seduction that goes against your judgement or ethics. Non-preferred choice: Are you ignoring information readily available to you because you think the source is not important enough to pay attention to? Or are you seeing the messages and denying their validity because you dont like them? These are very human things to do, but not very wise.. While everything has meanings, not all meanings are worth worrying about. Sometimes it’s important to keep the broad picture in mind and avoid getting lost in the detail. If you feel confused by too many details, try focusing on your overall goals and situation. As for the clothing (or lack of) - What I cant see wont hurt me!😛 ---

I was just thinking about doing something like this: I’d like a #3, please (love type relationship) and yes, there is someone specific in mind. Thank you for doing this 🙂 ---

> [@Miller](#): > > I’ll take a #3, no specific person in mind. You/your state of mind: Fexible/Mental agilitity. You’re heart’s desire: Someone with power or authority First step to realising your dream: Strong self control. Swift and impartial judgement. Consider all points of view before making a decision and be sure of your facts. What might hinder you: Dont be too quick to reap the rewards of your hard work and dont forget to start planning for the next step. What might help you: Networking, meeting new people, and forge new associations. Be gracious in your dealing with others, be friendly without flirting, and help friends and co-workers without being servile. Your future prospects: This person will be full of joy and excitement, infecting everyone he/she comes in contact with. Possibly someone in the music field, or a motivational speaker. The results: Travel and exploration - whether it be physical, mental or emotional, it will change and broaden your perspective and your mind. ---

> [@Zebra](#): > > A number 3 please. > > Love related, specific person in mind. The other person’s state of mind: What you see is what you get! This person has a trusting heart and sees directly into the true nature of things. They are considering where they have been and where they want to go, but needs to step forward instead of waiting for things to come to them. Their feelings for you: unneccesary delays or even stalling may be going on here. Whether the quarant is the cause or victim of this, it may be time for him to give things a tactful but firm push to get things in motion. Their immediate future: Good things may well be happening that they dont think they deserve, unexpected good fortune - especially when they thought bad luck was headed their way. ---

> [@Risha](#): > > (I’m curious if your reading matches a friend of mine’s for the same question!) > > #3, please, family related. You/Your state of mind: The more others know about you, the less power you have and the harder it is to do your job. You do not like to give away information about yourself and you do not like people knowing the real you - very few, if any, do. The state of your family life: There is chaos, restlessness, anxiousness, perhaps even some trust issues. Outside influences: Are you truely being honest with yourself? You may think you are but there is indication that you may well be decieiving yourself in some way. Repression, denial, displacement, etc may be in play. Place this along side of others that are contributing to the dishonesty and anxiety, confusion, and a complicated life will be amplified. Any surprises - pleasant or unpleasant - that are on the way: Random events and ideas will fall into a pattern and begin to make sense to you. Things may be flowing more easily than you are accostumed to, and your decisions and choices may be bringing an unusually high degree of success. Hunches and intuitions are becoming clearer and making more sense. Trust the process. How to improve matters: Use common sense and do not confuse lies with reality. Outside influences may be keeping secrets when it could benefit others, and in turn, you. Facts and information become unwisdom - knowledge misused and distorted for selfish purposes, information used for the detriment of others. Be careful of those that are excessively critical, cold and uncaring, or cynical - and be careful that you do not find yourself caught up in this web as well. Result: By becoming aware and not falling into negative energy, you will find yourself filled with power and motivation to grow, to become what you have the positive potential of being, and to fulfill your purpose of being here and now. When you feel these surges of joy, you will know you are on course, moving in the right direction. Great joy and accomplishment are within your reach. ---

Thanks! I’m going to guess… faked. Mostly because it’s not very close to what my friend and the woman I saw at the ren faire yesterday both said. What do I win if I’m right? 😃 ---

> [@Pixilated](#): > > :smack: > Ouch. Nope, I pulled the cards. The reading was real, just not accurate. Or rather, not in par with the other. Darn, I thought that I called that one. I wouldn’t bother with the headsmack though, it’s not like you couldn’t just be coming at it from a different direction, as nothing you said directly contradicts them. All of the deception stuff just threw me. (I _am_ habitually secretive, for instance.) And the other readings weren’t all puppies and sunshine either! ---

#3, love-related, please. I’ve got a specific person in mind. But it’s also sort of a fork-in-the-road sort of question with decisions to be made… So I’m not sure which best fits the question. I’m happy with letting you choose what type of reading to do. ---

Could I have a reading number three please? And its a sort of love/work combination but with no specific person in mind. ---

I’m not sure how this applies to my situation. But thanks anyway. A general outlook for me, or number 3 romantic with no person (but me) involved would be nice.
