3-Card Reading for G.P.

Maybe I should stop bringing my Tarot cards with me to work, my co-workers might be a little too into it! ;) I did a series of 3-card readings for G.P., who works out front in the gift shop. I keep a paper record of most my readings, but I'm only going to post one here because I think its of the most interest to anybody else- the other two, one is about issues of health (I know, I know... we didn't read for a diagnosis, just to know if she would find out from her doctor anytime soon), and the other is about a house sale.

Question: Could (G.P.'s son) see dead people when he was a little kid?
Date: 24 February 2010 Deck: Rider-Waite Tarot

Weird question, huh? I'll elaborate a bit more on information G.P. said after the reading after I've discussed my reading itself. I did a 3-card spread, again my usual past-present-future layout in the interest of fitting in a reading before going back to work after lunch.

Card 1	Card 2	Card 3
The Empress reversed	Knight of Swords	The Sun
Past	Present	Future

In the past position is the Star in the reversed position. I think this indicates that G.P.'s son, when he was young, had a very deep and powerful subconscious, which the people in his life couldn't understand. In the present, we see the Knight of Swords. As confirmed by G.P., her son never speaks of having been able to see "dead people", and will actively deny anything. In the future position is The Sun. The Sun depicts a child riding a horse, with a powerful sun in behind him/her. I think this indicates that discussion of P.G.'s son seeing "dead people" is not buried in the past, but will resurface and be directly addressed when he starts his own family.

G.P. went on to tell me a really amazing story about when her son was young. He had terrible recurring nightmares, which it later turned out were shared with a family friend with a similar birthmark. Her son also saw a forerunner of a family member whom he'd never met when he was about 3 (he called her by name and described her despite having never met her before her death). G.P.'s son will deny any of this if you asked him about it now. Anyhow, this was a really interesting reading to do which inspired great conversation (G.P. left shortly after her reading and I was too freaked out from ghost stories to sit in my office alone and found things to do that made me be around my other co-workers). Initially, I didn't think my standard, 3-card past/present/future spread would work well for this question (which, on the surface, looks like a yes/no question) but ultimately the cards told us some pretty interesting things about it all.

3 Card Spread: A reading for K.C.

Good thing I take my cards with me to work so I can play with them on the bus. My co-worker, K.C., asked me to read her cards before she left this afternoon!

K.C. is an older lady who works in an administrative position. As part of her duties, she edits the newsletter for the museum's 'friends of' type organization. This is a notable year for the Canadian Navy (the centennial year in fact) and many members of this friends of org are former RCN types. I suspect K.C. might be feeling a bit of pressure to put out a really fierce newsletter this quarter, so she wanted to know how well it would be recieved.

Question: Will the newsletter be enjoyed by the membership?
Date: February 23, 2010. Deck: The Rider-Waite Tarot

I laid out a three card spread. Card 1 for the past, Card 2 for the present, Card 3 for the Future.

Card 1	Card 2	Card 3
The Lovers	Ace of Pentacles reversed	King of Pentacles reversed
The Past	The Present	The Future

(First of all, I really like 3 card spreads. Retrospectively, I think I probably would have quantified the three cards laid out for K.C. differently, but while I am still learning to get a whole train of thought out of multiple cards, it's served its purpose.)

The Lovers in the past position, I think, refers to the many choices K.C. has had at hand in general in her experience working with the newsletter; she's seen a lot of material be submitted not only for this issue but for all of the newsletters. The reversed Ace of Pentacles eludes to the 'richness' of material submitted- she might have doubts about some of the stuff (hence its reversal), but there's no doubt that she's spoiled for all those choices she's had in general for past issues, and for this one specifically. The reversed King of Pentacles to me reads like a successful and well-recieved newsletter, though the entheusiasm for it might be a bit conservative. The King of Pentacles could generally be indicative of powerful men who are in a position to provide financial benefit to the friends of organization, or directly to the museum. They might be a little reluctant in the current economy but I think they'll pony up ;)

This was a fun reading- K.C. is a hoot to read for as she is very entheusiastic and usually has a big cheeky grin when she requests a reading, and she likes to talk about the imagery in the cards. She takes her role as newsletter editor very seriously and wants to do right by the readership and the subject material.

Anyhow, that's what I see- how would you have read this spread?
