(no subject)

I had a very interesting tarot reading yesterday -- something I wouldn't ordinarily seek out, but it was a bonus for a donation I'd made to help send another writer's daughter to science camp. The reading was done over Googletalk, using the Whimsical deck, and my questions (which the reader didn't know until afterwards) were "What should I focus on?" and "What should I do about [major potential project]?"

Past: The World (Glinda, the Good Witch of the South)
Present: Three of Cups (Three Men in a Tub)
Hidden Influences: The Four of Swords (The Princess and the Pea)
Advice: Temperance (Jack and Jill)
Likely Outcome: Death (Sleeping Beauty)

Card stuck in box: first misread as the Ten of Rods (the Goose Girl), then revisited as the Two of Rods (the Lion and the Mouse)

The gist of the results: get more rest and learn to say "no," now.

Which matches the direction both instinct and logic have been steering me toward, but it's somehow reassuring to have a stranger and her cards emphatically reinforce the decisions I've been making.
