My tarot reading

I was hanging out with some friends last night and one of them had a Tarot deck and a book. So we sat around doing readings and looking up the cards we drew.

Here’s my three-card spread:

Past: The Devil ——- Present: The Empress ——- Future: Temperance

(As a disclaimer, like the fine print on the ads for telephone psychics, I see this as “entertainment only,” relying heavily on the Barnum effect. It’s a sort of Rorchach into your own mind. Anything else requires extraordinary evidence.)

A general interpretation seems to be that my recent past was characterized by self-imposed limitations, that right now there is nurturing and mothering going on, and there will be moderation and balance in my future.

Barnum effect or no, I think it’s not half bad, and the lesson about moderation is well-timed. There is always a balance, as difficult as it may be to find.
