::Places 100 Yen.::

Tarot reading, please.

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

A celebrity as famous as you wants my knowledge? My my, meow.

::An angel blowing the horn of the apocalypse.::
XX - Judgment, upright. You were judged for something, something terrible possibly, but you've since been redeemed and reborn as someone better. And you realized your true self hidden under lies, nya.

::A man leaving his treasure goblets.::
Eight of Cups, upright. Your present. You feel worn out on things as they are. You wish to learn more, you feel exhausted from the celebrity, possibly. And you wish to move onto something better... brighter...

::A woman sitting a throne, guarding a realm of the strange and mysterious.::
II - The Priestess, upright. You will find out the spiritual, you will learn more about yourself and the truths you seek... well, you would of...

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Would of...? ::Blinks.::

::Waves her hand over the High Priestess, as it turns into XV - The Devil::

Except you will want to be obsessed, lose your sense of self, care only about your looks, money and lust. You will ignore enlightenment, nya, and you will become a creature of the flesh who denies the spiritual, who is cold and bleak and self centered.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

And why the hell would I do that..!?

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

350 Yen and I can do a more complex spread.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

::Pulls it out of her purse and slaps it down.::

Explain!

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

Fine, nya. ::Places Judgment and The Devil aside.::

The first card is the Eight of Cups, upright. The present. You acknowledge that you seek higher knowledge and are bored of the current life you have, nya. You seek to become a better person. Or at least a wiser, more enlightened one. This is the dominating factor, you wish to grow as a person. You do not seek to be a mere idol, nyaya.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Well of course, I wouldn't want to be some willy nilly prancing idol forever. I just wanted to be taken seriously as a Duelist...

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

::Draws a card depicting a man leaving 3 trees and walking off.::

Three of Wands, as upright. Your challenge. This card represents the problem facing you. The 3 of Wands insists you look at the present to see how it affects the future. Using the three of Wands, you can court the best future possible. This card combined with the Eight of Cups has a reinforcing message: You are to take a journey or a trip. Though for some, the journey is spiritual and a journey of the mind and of self-exploration... not a trip itself.

But you did take a trip recently to learn such a thing, nya.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I suppose. I was more after rest from a long series of nonsenses. Anyways, continue.

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

The root cause of the problem is next, nya.

::Draws, ten coins arranged in the style of the Tree of Life.::

Ten of Coins, upright. The problem for you. The big picture...?

You're a girl whose family has always been rich. Everyone you've known was rich. The man you first loved was of some form of wealth or another. You enjoy not worrying about money. And as such, you have wealth and affluence from your job. This is the thing that drives you and opposes your challenge.

To be honest, you're a spoiled rich girl who is afraid of losing money. You are afraid of venturing out of your box to become a deeper person because. Well. If you do. You may not have the creature comforts you have and desire, ne~

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

::Seems rather incredulous, but is somewhat grinding her teeth, because it's insulting and honestly true...:: ... Go. On.

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

We focus on the past now. Judgment. The receding factor. Something that was of importance, but will end up not mattering. Your redemption and judgment, while important now, will become irrelevant to you in the future. You should stop letting this judgment rule you. In 5... 10... 20 years, it will no longer matter, meow.

::Slaps down a card of the sun shining down on a child.::
XIX - The Sun, upright. You are happy. You believe in being warm and happy and alive. You are a sun who warms other's hearts. But combined with the Eight of Cups, it shows you are a sun tired from hanging up in the sky too long. But you desire to be a warm sun still, but you tire of what you are. You are successful at everything you enjoy and desire. This desire to be the sun drives you.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's true. I like being happy and making other's happy... So it's a pretty fair assessment...

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

To note, nya~ You consider money to be the fuel that warms your sun.

::Slides the Devil over::

This completes your core cross, but not the entire cross. The Devil represents your future. Your obsession with wealth and the material to retain your warmth will enslave you to the material and the physical. You will never approach the High Priestess, because if you do, you lose your warmth. But by falling into The Devil, you might become a cold dead star.

But, the Devil isn't entirely negative. It means to admit you have flaws, and that there are selfish parts of your personality. But it does, meow, mean to fall into the sins of the flesh and false assumptions and illusions...

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

And. I can sort of see that logic, but I think the sun is more likely.

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

::A blind woman, stark and naked, holding the scales of justice.::
This is you. The you you see, the you you hide, the you you show. You do what needs to be done. You do what you believe is right. Fair. True. That everything you've done and everything you do is for a reason. But this is just a mask you wear in the end, this isn't everything that is you.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

... A mask? Those are things I do believe are true.

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

We're getting to that, nya. Also Justice and Judgment show that you believe and trust your past actions. That this rendered Judgment on you was correct, nya.

::Draws and slaps down a second card for the wand. It shows a king holding a sword, the art upside down.::

King of Swords, reverse. This card shows how others view the situation. people see you as someone who is currently unable to work out decisions, or comes to bad decisions. Someone with standards and rationality that might be not strong enough or not going to waste. Your energies are fouled up. ... And that you may be a liar. And you may not be seeing it.

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

... I don't think any of it is going to waste... But how am I a mask and what's with this Devil...? And who would think I'm a liar?

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

::Pulls another card, slapping it. It shows a man juggling two coins. The portrait is upside down::

Two of Coins, reverse. This represents flexibility, fun, and effectiveness. You should enjoy yourself and be able to do things as needed but something's holding you back. You might be afraid of enjoying yourself or that you're not flexible enough. That you're a stick in the mud who doesn't enjoy herself. Or that you're not able to let yourself have fun.

It could also be arguing the hidden fact is you feel yourself unsteady, unable to be flexible and unable to have fun and pleasure as much as you want, that you must be a slave to work. Or maybe that's what you hope

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I think that's an exaggeration... but make your point. I know these spreads end with one more card.

[triade-oscura.livejournal.com]

::Draws, showing a tower being destroyed by divine lightning and holy fire.::

Final card, nya. XVI - The Tower, reverse. The Devil's influence will never let you mature or grow as a person. The Sun shining on The Tower would allow you to learn and grow as a person, but the chain of the Devil will keep you tempted to the pleasures of flesh and wealth. Everything you were hoping to learn, it will be muddled and lost in other desires.

Your mask for equality and justice will be lost in an obsession with skin and silk, as you learn nothing, nya.
