Glass Half Empty

Just had an impromptu tarot reading done, since we were working with a deck (for unrelated reasons, related to art and composition, for the NYE thing), and we figured it was likely to be interesting. It certainly was.

As far as I recall it, my reading fell out as coming from close friendships, being currently in confusion, and leading to the risk of stagnation and obsession (if I recall correctly). Despite the obvious romantic interpretation, I rather suspect that could be relevant to work. I don't intend to unpack that any further in a public forum, but I might in conversation. Upon being told by the friend reading the cards that he suspected I might be best represented by a particular card in the deck (in its guise as a personality type) I was interested, but suspect that I'd apply shadings of two other cards to get an actual representation of my personality, as opposed to the persona I project.

I should point out that I don't "believe" in the divinatory power of the tarot per se - I suspect that given hands drawn are an excellent focus and aid to meditation and introspection, but I ascribe no particular power to the deck or significance to the order of the draw. That particular hand, while by no means the worst hand drawn for people during out little diversion, will lead to some careful thought and re-evaluation in the near future, I think (having drawn certain issues I was trying to avoid into the clear foreground).

Despite said lack of belief, I would be much happier had the cards drawn in the opposite order.
