Tarot reading revolves around the belief that the cards can be used to gain insight into the current and possible future situations of the subject (or querent), i.e. cartomancy. Some believe they are guided by a spiritual force, such as Gaia, while others believe the cards help them tap into a collective unconscious or their own creative, brainstorming subconscious. The divinatory meanings of the cards are derived mostly from the Kabbalah of Jewish mysticism and from Medieval Alchemy.
Tarot's pretty nifty. If you're into superstition and/or occultist methods of fortune telling, anyway.
You can read more about it here.

But that's a story for another thread.
Let's do some readings in this one.
I have this deck. Since I obviously don't have the time or patience to do full readings(re: the Celtic Cross), I'll draw a card for whoever's interested, and attempt(emphasis mine) to discern some sort of meaning from it towards your worldly existence.
Or something like that.
Failing that, just discuss tarot or mysticism in general.

I need to know if I'll survive my student loans after law school
I want to know my future
you drew the dog
you won't have a job for 5 years after law school
The Knight of Swords(Upright). You have no tolerance for that which gets in your way, and will overcome any obstacles in your path.
I imagine they had Tarot there.
It was kinda smelly.
Another smelly store that sells card.
I should just stick to Magic the Gathering.
I am unhappy with this word.
Hear that losers? Get out the way!
does that mean I won't get a firm job
or does it mean the business incubator I intend to start as soon as I possibly can will fail?
The Nine of Pentacles. A safe haven, something secure to fall back on awaits you.
The Eight of Wands(Upright). Be careful with rash actions, plan carefully.
Too bad I'm just going to block him with my Basilisk. Enjoy! (i also have no mountains)
should I tell the litigation specialist I've got lined up that he shouldn't worry or should I keep it a secret?
I'm not sure how close to fortune cookies this is
the skydiving trip may have to be rescheduled

Seven of Pentacles (Inverted). Be careful with your finances, there can be a heavy cost.
Yup.
God I miss having a pestilence deck.

Lots of Derigaz's Caldera's.
The Devil (Upright). You will face temptation, the option of a quick and easy path.
You have to set up a certain pattern and where each card falls in the pattern changes the interpretation of the whole thing
Of course it's all bullshit anyway but
Perhaps I should reconsider getting financially involved with that prostitution ring.
Tell me my future.
I haven't done one since Odessy.
Well that's a tad ominous
You can use single cards to interpret the immediate future. A full reading paints a better picture is all.
Oh wekk, cj if your doing fortunes please do mine too!
Three of Pentacles (Inverted). Something will slow your progress, possibly a loss of nerve.
