hanging my tomorrows on the bones of yesterday

Here is the card-reading template that I learned when I was doing readings back in the 2000's.( Read more... )
Querent (who you are in this reading):
Cover (where you are on the timeline):
Cross (the problems you're having):
Crown (the highest good attainable from here):
Beneath (something supporting you):
Behind (recent past):
Before (near future):
1 (your influence):
2 (others influence):
3 (hopes and fears):
4 (eventual outcome of this trajectory):

Breakdown of the reading, the timeline, and the major influences:

I am now stalled out on both the current projects due to lack of spoons today, so I’m thinking of taking an old unicorn tarot that nobody wants and drawing my own words and such on the cards to create a completely different oracle. I just need some sort of overarching paradigm for it. I have the zen cards which are very “you should meditate about that” and the Future Vision Steven Universe tarot that is “you should do therapy about that”. So I guess I need a “do your self care and community care work” deck.

If the deck is going to be four suits and a major arcana (big if) then the suits would have to be:
Major arcana - infrastructure and anti-capitalism
Coins - community care
Swords - restorative justice
Wands - social justice
Cups - self care
Or those are my current thoughts on how to do this.

What are projects that you have decided against or abandoned this year? Anyone have an egg-on-my-face story?

[Edit to add: I talked myself into it, and now have the We Live In A Society deck of vaguely tarot-ish cards. Now I just need to get used to them.]

Next - let’s say - 4 people to comment below get a free Tarot reading. I want to get familiar with this deck.

[EDIT: Last two slots are still open!]
