Welcome to my first entry in this blog.

Part of my reason for creating it was to record readings I do when I'm not at home where my Tarot Journal is. This morning I did a reading for a friend's relationship. My question was "What does S think of R?" I was using my Mary Hanson-Roberts mini deck (called "Tarot To-Go" in stores :) that is the one I usually use when I'm not home. My home deck is the Aquarian Tarot.)

I drew:

Nine of Pentacles - Contentment, wealth, all needs met
Five of Rods - Arguments and battles (they fight a lot)
Two of Pentacles - Balance, especially of finances

Eight of Rods - Being at odds which yourself or others.
Three of Swords - Broken heart, divided affections
The World - Desire for joy and ultimate success, especially in business

All of which fits the person in the query well and surprised me a bit though it does seem to fit the current situation. For the privacy of those involved, I won't explain more here.

A note about my readings: I stopped using tarot books a while back and find my readings are more accurate when I study the images and see what they say to me in relation to the question being asked. While I sometimes use traditional spreads such as the Celtic Cross, I find that simple, 3 card spreads work well for most purposes with multiple rows until I feel the reading is over. The 3 columns generally represent PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE though I've also had them reveal themselves to be a column for the 3 main people involved in a situation or as ROOT (of situation or problem), CAUSE and OUTCOME.
