Tarot reading?
The question I asked to Jaenanda for a tarot reading was: What's in store for Armand and I?

The answer I received:

Such boldness....

Here we go.

I swear, no matter how well I shuffle my deck, the Queen of Swords keeps popping up for this bunch. I wonder what that fortells...

1. The Chariot. A wheeled vehicle being drawn by two animals, each headed in different directions. Obviously, conflict is at the crux of any future the two of you might have together. But the Carriage also signifies forward progress by balancing opposing forces. It is the two of you, and not the whims of circumstance, who are in control of your destiny. Be mindful of that, always.

2. Crossing you "for good or for ill". The 3 of wands: again we see the card of co-authorship and co-creation. New enterprise and a partnership. Things are looking well so far. I see progress and overcoming challenges.

3. Beneath you: the 4 of wands. Again indicating a sound business partnership, but also a much-deserved hiatus has occured in the past. This respite will have only strengthened the bond between you two, however.

4. The 8 of swords, reversed: Much-needed release is just behind you now, and a new beginning has already begun. Clarity of thought and emotions has begun to emerge, breaking you free from the bonds of entrapment and confined relationships.

5. La Luna, reversed ("La Luna" sounds so much prettier than "the moon" and anyway, my deck is in Italian) Ah, the sweet glimmer of potentiality. If the moon upright stands for deceit and dishonesty, the moon reversed heralds "stepping into the light" (I really do mean that metaphorically. I hope). In fact, you may become so illuminated that the previously hidden negative motivations of others near the two of you becomes clearly apparent. If so, you have the foundations in place to withstand any attacks which might prevail against you.

6. the Queen of Swords. Before you, in the near future, is an independent, clear-thinking, logical woman, who will assist you. She will be able to manipulate situations to your advantage, or use her logic to help you make sense of something that is troubeling you. She'll be an air sign- Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, with olive-complected skin, dark hair, and light eyes. Be watchful of her, and accept her aid when she offers it.

7. 3 of Coins, reversed. There are some problems with the relationship at the moment. A lack of ambition may be notes, or perhaps just disappointment and delays. This may seem overwhelming in the moment, but you have the capacity for perspective, and you would be well-advised to keep it about you at all times.

8. 5 of Swords. There is a spirit of bitter competition, perhaps masking as play, in your inner circle right now. Pride has been wounded, and tehre is plotting, and ridicule, and turmoil. There are those around you who are not using their talents to productive ends, and as such, you feel drawn down. There may be a severing of ties up ahead, but it will be between the two of you and someone you are close to, and not between the two of you yourselves.

9. Ace of Cups, reversed. It doesn't take a Tarot scholar to quickly determine from the ancient drawing on this card that in it's reverves position it represents unhappiness, disappointment. The cup has spilled. You are afraid of this happening, of being alone with nobody to love you. Each of you fear this. It is a common fear, however, and in being such, nothing to be afraid of.

10. 8 of coins. From my book. "You have the opportunity to enter a phase of apprenticship to develop your talents."

...that was actually a bit muddy for me, so I drew an additional clarification card. The king of cups. An artist or a man in touch with his inner emotional life.

What does the future hold for you? Changes in relationships, the renewal of old partnerships, the discarding of some old relationships, perhaps. ...the King of Cups is said to be a fair man with blonde hair and blue, grey, or hazel eyes... who is also an artist... who will offer one, or both of you, a tpe of apprenticeship to further develop your gifts and talents. Don't go jumping to any obvious conclusions.

But I'm not predicting anything else for you. Your future is your own to make or destroy.
As for that reading, I swear that's exactly as I drew the cards.

-----------------------

So it looks like Marius might be stepping back into our lives? Or Lestat, but the chances of that have to be near slim.

I'm not sure who the female in #6 is... Merrick perhaps? Might also explain why she keeps showing up in the readings Jaenanda did, Merrick is working on expanding those she knows.

If this fortells anything about Armand and I, it's gonna be interesting folks!
