How could my cards be so wrong?!

I went to a psychic, and she's like You got the job in the bag. I've been doing my tarot cards, and they are like, You've got the job in the bag. Nope, I didn't even complete the online application correctly WTF?! I've completed online stuff for years. How can I get this sooooo wrong. GRRRRR. There must be mixed messages in my energy for my incredibly reliable cards to be wrong, and for a pscyhic to be so wrong when the answer to the question was just a week away. Oi! Something tremendously good must be coming around soon. . . .

    i love tarot cards!
    no i do not nor would i live my life by them...but they endlessly fascinating and entertaining...



    years ago back in grad school, i had great friend who was HUGE into tarot...reiki....etc. she actually bought me the most beautiful tarot deck. (i have also learned that is the 'best' way to get a deck, as a gift - and as a representation of you, and she could not have picked a more perfect deck for me...one of the most meaningful gifts i've ever gotten) anyhooo....i learned a lot about em, did so many readings fro friends and family! i never got to the point that i could stop using the guidelines as reference.....but it really was FUN!


    i haven't broken out my deck in years.....perhaps i will again soon......



    ms. haiku....good luck with the job search!
    and hey....maybe that 'good thing to come'...will be a ticket for pj 10.31! ;):mrgreen:
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I totally buy the mumbo jumbo, been buying it for 20 years ;)

    Tarot decks are pretty cool. Some decks are dazzling artwork, and it's just nice to look at the cards. The drawings for a deck I bought a couple weeks ago are so fine and busy, but welcoming. I was drawn to it like I haven't been drawn to a deck before. Usually, I get decks with Italian words on them, but these didn't.

    This time the broad generalizations the reader gave you obviously didn't fit.

    one time my fortune cookie said, "you will be the one singled out for promotion." The next day, my supervisor gave me the paperwork with the salary increase.

    Or, more likely, tarot cards don't mean shit.

    That kind of stuff is fun but I'm not sure how reliable that information could be.

    btw - maybe your cards/reading isn't wrong....just merely what you think they are referring to, they're not? perhaps this 'job in the bag'......you have yet to even apply for? just food for thought...;)


    wish you the best in your quest!


    tarot related Q for you - how do you store your cards?
    the friend who gave me my deck had told me that they should be wrapped in a cloth, something meaningful to me. just so happened that my childhood best friend had not too long before given me a square scarf with a picasso print on it. so it worked out perfectly to be my tarot storage. :)

    I was really drunk one night and had one of these things read to me. The cards said I'd be happy and full of life before I turned 30..also said I'd have a problem finding the meaning of life, which I still haven't along with the rest of you...bunch of bullshit..
    'I want to hurry home to you
    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    god I'm very, very frightening
    and I'll overdo it'

Cards usually aren't so drastically wrong, they may be giving me an answer i haven't conceptualized, yet.

    Over 15 years ago i did all that i was suppose to do with cards, wrap them in a cloth made of natural fiber i.e., cotton, *clear my mind* have a little crystal ball, ten card layout yadda yadda yadda. Sometimes when i get caught up in the ritual it takes away from the meaning. Nowadays i just keep them in the box they came in. If the box gets torn from use, then i would wrap them in a cotton scarf or an extra scarf I have on hand. Do whatever is most comfortable for you. Sounds like what you are doing would work.

    An interesting question would be how many of us have had tarot/astrology/palm/aura readings (paid or free.) I would guess 12% total, and 8% who paid.

    For the most part the ones I pay for I mull over a bit, but the ones I do for myself or friends I take seriously. If a paid reader's cards say the same thing as my own, then I mull it over seriously :D
