Online tarot reading = eerily accurate

2010, so much like 2009, but colder. At least in St. Louis.

So it's about 6 in the morning and I've been here in the Children's ER for about 10 hours now. Despite an seeing an unsettling amount of head traumas this shift, I've had the chance to reflect on my life. I realize that my life is missing direction. Direction not to be provided by jobs or purpose or anything. Direction that can only be provided by internet tarot readings. Fortunately, in the medical marvel that is the St. Louis Children's Emergency Room we have computers with internet, thus providing quick and easy access to internet tarot readings.

I will share excerpts from my internet tarot reading. I've got to say, though, that before this I wasn't much of a believer in tarot readings, let alone internet tarot readings, let alone free internet tarot readings. For those of you who know me well (shout out to my 3 blogspot follows -- up 50% from last post! Holler!), this internet tarot reading is eerily accurate. I think I got goosebumps and/or chills when I first read the results. It's like someone looked past the disheveled and unkempt exterior and looked to the very core of me. Here it is.

For the internet tarot site to work, you have to ask it a question. So I asked the question on everyone's mind.

OK, so that isn't too helpful, just a bunch of cards. But when you see what the cards mean? Eerie.

The significator is the card you have chosen to embody your presence and the focus of the reading. Dr. John (The Magus) Mastery over word, mind, and matter. The ability to turn ideas into actions, handle problems, and control one's life. The initiation of new projects, great works, or a new way of life. Eloquent and moving communication. Arcane and eldritch technologies.

Not only does it call me doctor, but it uses my middle name. And it totally nails my presence. Mastery over word, mind, and matter? Eloquent and moving communication? Spot on. Apparently, Dr. John (like Dr. Clay) looks like a party animal with his workout ball of fire.

The card at the top left represents how you see yourself. Rada Mambo (Queen of Swords), when reversed. The dark essence of air behaving as water, such as a cold rain. A person gifted with both keen logic and natural intuition, giving them uncanny powers of perception and insight. One who easily sees the weakness in any argument and savages friend and foe alike with biting sarcasm. Dry and vicious wit covering a hollow sense of isolation and dissatisfaction with life.

Yes. Who hasn't felt amazed by my perception and insight? Who hasn't felt savaged by my sarcasm? Who hasn't sensed the depth of my isolation and dissatisfaction with life? Oh wait, that's kind of sad...

The card in the lower right represents what your partner feels about you. Legba (Six of Swords), when reversed. Conceit and intellectual pride. Being stuck in a problem with has no apparent solution. Frustration and anxiety that are left unsettled. Travel and exploration are delayed.

Granted I don't have a girlfriend or a wife, so I will apply this to people I've dated or who have wanted to date me (grand total of both, 4 1/2).

The card in the center represents the present status or challenge of the relationship. Congo Hounsis (Page of Cups), when reversed. The dark essence of water behaving as earth, such as a wellspring. An unexpected new relationship that is childish and foolish. An idle dreamer oblivious to the realities of the world. Moodiness, sad reflection, and retreat from society. Seduction and deception in personal and business relationships.

Wow. It is now clear why my relationships fail: childish and foolish. Moodiness. Sad reflection. And retreat from society. Ironically, this entire post has ended as a sad reflection. And when I get off work, I'm going to go home and go to sleep until my shift tonight (or "retreat from society").

In the end, I think there are valuable life lessons to be learned from this experience. The internet is a wonderful thing. Internet tarot readings can be incredibly accurate. Clay shouldn't be allowed internet access at work.
