for entertainment purposes only: one-card draw, moving out edition

[alexseanchai]

I am offering one-card draws for free, one free draw per customer, using the Motherpeace Tarot deck.

I am also offering a second free draw (one card) to anyone who links me to their post advertising this, a three-card past-present-future spread to anyone who donates $5 via Paypal to alexconall at gmail, and a ten-card spread to anyone who donates $20. If you wish to donate without a bonus drawing, thank you muchly and please specify that in the comments to your donation.

Donations currently stand at $69.97 as of noon Jul 9. All donations will be directed to the Alex's First Apartment's First Month's Rent fund. Or possibly things like dinnerware!

When donations cross $50, I will give away a ten-card reading to a randomly chosen commenter.
When donations cross $100, I will give away a second ten-card reading to a randomly chosen commenter and also write an essay meditating on a randomly drawn card.
When donations cross $150, I will give away a third ten-card reading to a randomly chosen commenter.
When donations cross $200, I will buy me a something frivolous (I want to say 'pineapple pizza', but probably it will in fact be a book), give away a fourth ten-card reading, and write a second essay meditating on a second randomly drawn card.

Please be advised that due to shenanigans at home, responses will not be prompt. My plan (Jul 7) is to do as many draws tonight after paycheck work as are requested today, relay the results as soon as I'm back on the Internet tomorrow, and repeat if more draws are requested tomorrow. (ETA Jul 8: I dramatically underestimated how much disability silverware I would have after working one to midnight! I apologize for the delay. Thank you to those of you who have donated thus far!) (ETA Jul 9, noon: I have done all the spreads except one three-card, for which I don't believe I've gotten a question though the Paypal comments said one was forthcoming, and the now-six ten-card spreads. I will figure out who won the donations-passed-$50 spread Soon.) If I owe you a ten-card spread (you four know who you are), it is coming in the next couple days.

Anonymous comments are screened and will remain so unless you say in the comment to unscreen it. If you want your card by PM instead of in a comment, tell me; if you want it by email instead of in a comment, I'll need your email.

Signal boosted, plan to donate a bit when I'm next at my own computer (probably with a different question). For now I'd like to know: why do all my houseplants die on me?? (Are the Fey angered?)

[alexseanchai]

Judgement, reversed: healing energy isn't getting through somewhere, possibly due to an overly critical or judgmental attitude on your part. I'm not entirely sure what that has to do with houseplants or Fey; I would recommend paying more attention to the care-and-feeding instructions of your particular varieties of houseplant!

[syntaxofthings]

Heh. This is really interesting! Thanks!

[syntaxofthings]

Just came back to this and realized how much the "healing energy isn't getting through somewhere" is true of my life right now. Fascinating! Thank you.

[alexseanchai]

You're quite welcome!

[alexseanchai]

I see your donation, and thank you muchly; I do not believe I have received a question for the three-card reading?

[syntaxofthings]

You have not - I haven't thought of one yet... I'll PM you hopefully-shortly. Clearly no rush on my part.

[rootsofthestories]

*raises hand* I'd love a draw. I signal boosted and I will donate on Friday. I don't really have a question and just kind of need a general reading.

[alexseanchai]

Four of Wands, partway between upright and left: upright, the young women depicted are together, joyous, celebrating; turned left, that very image is hard to contemplate.

(I initially typed 'Four of Wants', which I suspect means the card is intended to be read turned left!)

[alexseanchai]

Belatedly: You won the ten-card spread I promised I'd give a random commenter! Do you have a question that you'd like to ask the cards? (Feel free to take this to PM.)

[rootsofthestories]

I'd like to have a reading on the generals of y current situation re: roommate and living and all that. Thank you so much and feel free to take your time on this. I know you'v got lots on your plate and so on.

[silveradept]

I would appreciate a card on how to work through my current issues.

[alexseanchai]

High Priestess, reversed: Are you perhaps having a hard time trusting your intuition or your judgment right now? I recommend meditation and contemplation—you may already know the answer, you just may not know you know it.

[worlds_of_smoke]

I'd love a card. I'm not sure what to ask about, so I'll take a general reading.

[alexseanchai]

Lovers, reversed: relationship difficulties? (not necessarily a lovers' relationship per se.) Now would be a good time to sit down with that person and talk things over, especially with regard to societal expectations that may not be what you and they need.

[worlds_of_smoke]

I'm single and have given up on dating, so.... o.O;

[alexseanchai]

Might be a different kind of relationship--platonic, sibling, I don't know. Or possibly I just drew a dud! Happens.

[worlds_of_smoke]

-laughs- Yeah, it's probably something like that. No worries. :)

[in_dreams]

I'd love a general reading card! Thank you!

[alexseanchai]

Fool, turned left: Upright, the Fool is about creativity and action and not caring a whit what anyone thinks. Turned left, those same desires (be they whims or longings) are hard to follow.

[balsamandash]

A card for general reading would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

[alexseanchai]

The Hanged One, reversed. (This produces the amusing image of a woman balancing on one foot on a tree branch.) She's avoiding introspection by Doing Things in the outside world. Once that pattern's established, it's hard to get away from.

[riseswiththefall]

I would love a general reading. Thank you so much!

[alexseanchai]

Strength, turned left: Hesitation. A feeling of wanting too much. Upright this card is the inner power to effect transformation: turned left, perhaps you don't believe you have that power?

[theresistance]

May I please have a card regarding an upcoming big move in my life? Thank you!

[alexseanchai]

Daughter of Wands, turned left: Upright, this card is all about the new adventure (so, a hopeful sign). Turned left, she's cautious about leaving her comfort zone.

[alexseanchai]

Shall do!

[403]

I would like a card about health matters, please. :)

Also, hi. I'm here via kaberett.

[alexseanchai]

FYI: Not doctor. :)

The Moon, turned right: Upright, this is a very introspective card, and turned right that doesn't actually change. Is there perhaps some mental issue or stressor that you need to spend time examining?

[403]

FYI: Not doctor. :)

And for 'entertainment' purposes only. I was after something to jog my brain, and this delivers. :)

[403]

Which is to say, thank you. :)

[alexseanchai]

You're quite welcome!
