Would anybody like a tarot reading?

^Have things in the USA really come to this point? I read news items galore using abundant sources and am fully aware of how things have been going there, but sometimes the media tend to exaggerate things. Hearing it from regular citizens, such as a friend from Georgia, has made me realize that all this intolerance and hate is for real. I can't believe how politicized the whole mask and vaccine issue has become there. The US used to be a bastion for religious and political freedom. On the other hand, maybe that was just for wealthy people of a certain skin colour.

Has the American Dream faded, or was it never real in the first place?

(sorry for deviating from the thread title, OP - I won't make a habit of it!!)

Here you go Flown! Sorry it took so long.



For your focus card I chose the Death Card. Because it symbolizes a great change in one's life (often an unwanted change).

For your past I see The Moon which I believe to be hidden dangers and traps. And The Tower, something recently happened that is throwing your life a feeling of despair. Like you had the ground fall beneath your feet.

In your future I see The High Priestess and The Emperor in reverse. The High Priestess means your psyche while The Emperor in reverse is about losing control (upright he is about maintaining control). So it might be that you are feeling a lot of mental pressure and are fearful of snapping? There are also buried secrets you might not feel comfortable talking about right now and that's OK.

Where you stand is The Hierophant. I think this card is telling you to see out counseling if you really need it.

And your alternative path is The Fool in reverse. This card warns of ignorance and possible danger if one is not being careful of the path they are taking in life.

Thank you for taking the time for this

I definitely feel like the ground has fallen beneath my feet lately. The "hidden dangers and traps in the past" part really resonates!

As for secrets, there are some. I'm having to "stretch" the truth with some of my family about us selling our place and moving. My mother is not mentally/physically well, and I don't want to make her too upset. I've told her we are going to be traveling in a camper for a while (which is technically true), and that we will have the ability to come back and visit if anyone needs us. My relationship with her is not necessarily a healthy one, but I do not want her to suffer. Side note: I haven't seen her since pre-pandemic (she lives 2 hours away), but she still wants me nearby and has control issues when it comes to me.

In terms of "seeking counseling", I'm interpreting this as both seeking advice from my therapist and practicing self care? I've been setting alarms on my phone for meditation and rest, as I feel I'm going to fall apart mentally and physically if I don't take better care of myself (I have health issues that are affected by my stress levels).

Actually that sounds like a great idea! But still a stressful time.

I'd like a reading, if you've got some time. Here are a few things about me, and my current concerns...

I'm autistic (not aspie), I've been independent and self-supporting until recently (I'm in my 50's), when depression and executive dysfunction wrecked my livelihood, and I'm now out of money after nine months or so of no income. I'm still trying to figure out what parts of my brain still function. I'm having some success resolving the depression, getting some sleep, exercising. Dysfunction still keeps me from initiating tasks that desperately need to be done. I am interested in my hobbies for the first time in years.

I'm curious if I'll be able to remain independent and support myself again, and I'm curious if my songwriting will have any success, and by that I mean if I'll complete songs that I'm happy with, where "happy with" means I've achieved a high state of competence but not necessarily commercial success. I've actually been tinkering with songwriting off and on (mostly off) for thirty years, but have never completed anything! I'm trying a new approach and putting more effort into learning the craft.

THanks!

I shall do you one too when I have time.
