Free Tarot Readings, Astrology and Divination

Tarot Readings have been discontinued

At this time I can no longer offer online tarot readings, though I will still be doing readings locally. I may return at a later day when there are fewer demands on my time, but at the moment, I feel like this is the right decision for me, and one I feel good about.

To the Nines

Che — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 20:40:11 +0000

On Saturday I participated in the Blogathon, and gave free Tarot readings to anyone who requested one. One card that showed up frequently that night was the Nine of Wands. It came up so frequently that I began to wonder if there wasn’t some message in it for me. One of the evening’s clients asked me to elaborate on the Nine of Wands, and I thought I’d write here about all the Nines of the Tarot.

Astrology: Food and Sun-signs

I remember I was once on a road trip with an old boyfriend, a Capricorn named Scott, and his friend Jason, who was a Gemini like me. We stopped to eat in a fast food place, ordered our meals, and sat down. After a while, Jason and I noticed Scott was staring at us.

“Whats wrong?”, Jason asked.

“You both eat the same”, Scott sounded horrified, “You pick at your food and.. and you stare at every bite before you put it in your mouths. Thats just weird! Why do you do that?”

Tarot: Game or Divination?

I ran across this little announcement today in the Poughkeepsie Journal, about a class being taught in the East Fishkill Public Library called, “Brush up on your Tarot Skills”.

Tarot Lesson: The Chariot

The Chariot

The Chariot is one of the most enigmatic cards in the Tarot. It seems like every cartomancer has a different interpretation of this card - everything from conquest to journeying. At first glance, the traditional symbolism pictured on the the card has little to do with the Chariot’s astrological attributions. After all, what does the zodiacal sign of Cancer - sign of the home and emotional attachments - have to do with a charioteer pulled by sphinxes?

Tarot Lessons: The Hermit

Many cartomancers will say that Death is the card most likely to frighten their clients when it turns face up, but I disagree. When Death turns face up on the table, it’s usually accompanied by a clients vaguely uncomfortable disbelief. “Death!” they’ll say, with a bit of nervous laughter, “hehe… I’m not going to die, am I?”

“Eventually”, I’ll say, “but not today.”

You may have noticed there’s been little activity on Extispex lately. I hope to remedy this and provide more regular posts soon.

Reading: Noumenal Net

Che — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 19:09:18 +0000

Che asks: I seem to be losing the focus for my primary website, Noumenal Net. I’m not sure what its about anymore. Shattered Prayer has come into its own as a hangout for me and my friends. Extispex has developed a strong focus upon Tarot readings and Tarot reviews, but I seem to be losing touch with what I want for Noumenal Net? What is Noumenal Net about? What does it want to be?

Reading: Success in a Business Venture?

Mel asks: My sister and I are opening a bookstore. Will it be successful? And will my sister and I be able to remain friends through this - I seem to be doing all the work lately.

Review: Transformational Tarot

I’m a collage artist, and I enjoy collage art and especially collage tarot decks. Arnell Ando originally created the Transformational Tarot for her own personal use, then later released it as a limited, self-published edition. By popular demand, it returned, this time released in a slick, affordable package by U.S. Games.

Tarot Reading: Drugs?

Andre asks: My oldest son is fifteen, and has been acting out and disrupting the family. Is he on drugs?

Review: The Lunatic Tarot

Che — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 14:01:12 +0000

The Lunatic Tarot by Evan Yi Feng comes in two editions: a large portfolio edition (about 5×10), which lacks borders or titles - the corresponding Rider-Waite card is pictured on the back - and a smaller edition which is set up more like a standard tarot deck.

Tarot Reading: A Baby in the Future?

Che — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 18:22:04 +0000

Anna asks: I recently broke up with my partner of seven years, and have spent a lot of time putting my life back together. We often spoke of having a baby, but our busy lifestyles always seemed to postpone having children. Now I seem to be thinking about having children a lot. I definitely want kids, but the question is now or later. Should I do it on my own, or wait until I am with someone? I don’t feel like I’m ready to get romantically involved with anyone just yet.

Review: The Golden Tarot of Klimt

Che — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:34:39 +0000

I love the artwork of Klimt, and I’ve been wanting this deck since it was released. I received it in the mail yesterday, a surprise gift from a friend. I couldn’t be more pleased with it.

Reading: Is he coming home to me?

Che — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 16:14:45 +0000

Paul asks: I am in love with a guy (we are both American) who, two years ago, moved to Eastern Europe. He was only meant to be gone a few months, and told me when he got back, we would live together. He is still gone. We keep in contact, and he says he loves me but isn’t ready to come back yet. Is he going to come back to me, and what is in our future?
