Was reading about Carnivale online tonight and got inspired to do an online tarot reading for fun:

The Three Fates spread is an exceptionally popular way to gain insight into the emerging arc of the past, present, and future. The Rider Waite Tarot is the classic and most widely recognized Tarot deck, good for all manner of divinations. It is especially suited to questions of a mystical nature, and to issues of the world at large.



The left card represents an important element of the past. Seven of Wands (Valor): Standing courageously for your beliefs in the face of adversity. Fear of failure overcome by the will to succeed. Great obstacles met with heroism and determination. Inner strength brought to bear at a critical moment.

The middle card represents a deciding element of the present. Death: A major change or transformation, possibly traumatic and unexpected. Freedom from the shackles of the past. A new beginning. Death coupled with rebirth, usually related to consciousness and lifestyle.

The right card represents a critical element of the future. Knight of Cups, when reversed: The dark essence of water behaving as fire, such as a flash flood: Deceptive charm in the service of intense insecurity and rapidly shifting moods. Selfishness, indolence, and a complete lack of maturity. Misguided idealism divorced from practicality. Destructive romantic passions and infidelity.

The past and present I can see, but the future is a pretty bleak outlook. Bleak or like the past of several years back; tomAYto, tomAHto. All for fun, anyway.
