Help with reading? (original) (raw)

I have just done a reading that seems entirely contradictory, and I think I am just too close to the situation to interpret it.

I use the Thoth(Crowley) deck and the standard Celtic Cross layout. I also drew a second card for each position to clarify the first, although in this case, it didn't help!

Some folks like to know the question before looking at the cards, and others don't, so I'll describe the nature of the question at the end.

1. Covers: 3 cups (Abundance) and 5 wands (Strife)
2. Crosses: Princess Swords and Prince Swords
3. Above: 10 wands (Oppression) and 9 cups (Happiness)
4. Below: 6 disks (Success) and I The Magus
5. Behind: 5 cups (Disappointment) and Princess Disks
6. Before: 8 cups (Indolence) and VIII Adjustment
7. Myself: 2 swords (Peace) and 3 disks (Work)
8. My house: 4 cups (Luxury) and X Fortune
9. Hopes & Fears: Ace cups and XX The Aeon
10. Final: Prince Wands and XVI The Tower

If you aren't familiar with the Thoth deck, Princes are like Knights in most other decks and Princesses are like Pages. Adjustment is his version of Justice, and The Aeon is Judgement Day.

The basic situation is that I am considering pursuing a legal matter against another person. If you need more info than this, feel free to email me: scypres AT yahoo DOT com
