Oh, you're still interested? What format works for you -- MSN? IM? E-mail? You're on HC from work, yes?
And Death is not nearly as scary as it sounds. What you should really fear:
Quote:
The 79th card is The Happy Squirrel card, which makes its appearance in {The Simpsons} Episode 2F15, “Lisa’s Wedding”.
Woman: I've been waiting for you, Lisa.
Lisa: {gasps} How did you know my name?
Woman: Your nametag. {"Hi, I'm Lady Lisa"} Would you like to know your future?
Lisa: Heh, sorry, I don't believe in fortune telling. I should go.
Woman: What's your hurry? Bart and Maggie and Marge are at the joust, and Homer is heckling the puppet show.
Lisa: {gasps} Wow, you can see into the...present.
Woman: Now we'll see what the future holds. {turns over a card from what looks like a Tarot deck}
Lisa: {gulps} The "Death" card?
Woman: No, that's good, it means transition, change.
Lisa: {relieved} Oh.
{the woman turns over another card}
Lisa: Oh, that's cute.
Woman: {gasps} "The Happy Squirrel"!
Lisa: {timid} That's bad?
Woman: Possibly. The cards are vague and mysterious.
Remember - the reader gasps. If you've seen the episode, you know that The Happy Squirrel is the 'worst card' in the deck.
Quoted from review of the International Icon Tarot, which is the only deck I know of to actually include a "Happy Squirrel" card.
Seriously, I should note that I'm personally agnostic-leaning-heavily-towards-no in regard to telling the future with Tarot or any other divination. (I've other reasons for studying Tarot.) At best, I think you can see natural consequences of the current situation. Plus, I'm still a newbie reader. The typical 'for entertainment purposes only' disclaimer is particularly pertinent here. For me, this is just for fun.
On the other hand, other people have reported plenty of spooky incidents and eerie accuracies with traditional use of the cards. My skeptic side says belief can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, but hey. Who knows. So, if you want to look at it that way...it's your reading.  You can take it however you wish.
(Except don't take it as legal or medical advice or anything else that you could sue me for. I am not a qualified professional, etc., fill in standard American disclaimer here.  )

Okay, here is your reading layout:
From left to right, the positions are
1) Where you were
2) Where you are
3) Where you are going
4) What works for/with you
5) What works against you
And the cards are:

Yay, the images worked.
Okay, your first card is the Hanged Man in the position "Where you were," i.e. the past. The Hanged Man is a card of sacrifice, waiting, and spiritual awakening. It indicates a time when your life seemed to be on hold, or in suspense. Maybe you were thinking over a decision. Since there's also an aspect of passiveness to this card, your time-out may not have been your own choice, or under your control. The Hanged Man looks at everything from a different angle, which gives him an unusual perspective. Maybe taking a step back gave you some new insight into your life, and let you see the forest rather than just the trees.
I'll note now that these themes of stepping away from ordinary life are also echoed in the Hermit in the future position.
Any of this make sense?
(You can see what I meant by each card having a "range" -- the Hanged Man is a trump, to boot, so it's supposed to indicate something pretty important and/or spiritual.)
next card...

Your next card, indicating "Where you are," is the Queen of Swords. This is a court card; the courts' function (aside from befuddling newbie readers) is to suggest a person or personality traits. In this position, I'm guessing personality. The Queen of Swords has a cutting intelligence. S/he may have been wounded emotionally -- a traditional meaning is a widow/er -- and now uses his/her wits as a weapon and a defence, possibly in the form of sarcasm. This is the aloof ice queen. S/he is self-sufficient and proud of his/her autonomy. S/he values logic over sentiment, and the posture echoes that of Justice (another trump); s/he is very fair. "Steel-trap mind" is one of his/her keywords.
My feeling is that this is you at the present time, but it could also mean someone influential in your life.

Third card: The Hermit, indicating "Where you are going." This means the track that you are on currently. Obviously, you can change it at will.
Your first two cards have strong elements of isolation, and the Hermit continues that theme. Unlike the Hanged Man, the Hermit has chosen to step away from society. The picture depicts him standing on a mountaintop. The familiar cliche of the guru on a mountain applies here -- the Hermit lives in solitude, but he is also a teacher. It's a lot of trouble to seek him out. For the student who manages, however, he is a wise guide (see his lantern of light).
When this card turns up, one has to decide whether the querant (you) is the Hermit or the student looking for the Hermit. In this case, I think the Hermit is you. With the eye-opening experience of the Hanged Man behind you, and the keen sight of the Queen of Swords, you could be a valuable teacher. Both the Queen and the Hermit are solitary characters, but neither is completely inaccessible. You have the wisdom to guide others who are having their world up-ended (i.e. Hanged Man) because you've been there, done that.
Again, feel free to comment, question ect.
next card...

Next up...another court card. King of Pentacles is "what works for/with you," something that can help you on your path. This looks more like a someone who can help you, or personality traits that can benefit you.
King of Pentacles is "worldly success." You can see s/he's got a lot of stuff around him/her. This person knows how to manage and enjoy the better things in life. S/he's financially ambitious but also quite generous. S/he loves to indulge. While the Queen of Swords lives in a world of ideas and logic, the King of Pentacles is practical and hands-on. S/he's grounded and realistic. What strikes me about this card is how different it is from the previous three. Kings are leaders and movers, heavily involved in society. The King of Pentacles is even more so, skilled at management, and very earthy. Just look at the garden around the throne -- this person is not afraid to get dirty.
So from the spiritual and intellectual ether of the first three cards, we've come down to earth. How can this person/personality help you? The Hermit is a leader of sorts, as well. Maybe he could benefit from some of the King's hands-on approach. I'll just bring up the last card here, the 7 of Cups, noting that there seems to be a risk of floating away on dreams without substance. The King of Pentacles specialized in nothing if not substance.
Speaking of that last card: 7 of Cups, your only pip (indicating everyday life situation). In the position of "What works against you," it implies something to watch out for. The 7 of Cups is a card of dreams and fantasies, hopes and fears. It can indicate being scattered, having too many options, inability to choose, inability to act. These are the kind of forces which, in a good sense, can drive a person into a Hanged-Man like suspension. Since you've already been there, these problems can be solved by adopting the King of Pentacles' personality -- solid, focused on the here-and-now, keeping an eye on future gain but not getting lost in daydreams.
Hey, you Mod / Clones, you do realize that stingray is just a placeholder? Not an invitation for a Clone Party?
