Chapter 1 - 6

“The first card represents the heart of the issue, representing your innocence, your unfamiliarity with the city. The card on top is the reversed Ace of Wands, which represents a lack of passion, a general unwillingness to try. Your past, your foundation, the Three of Swords, stands for where you came from, a scene of restfulness, of meditation, possibly what you hoped for in the city. The Chariot in your subconsciousness represents your force, your willpower, to try to get along in the new city. The top slot is your conscious influence, the reversed Queen of Pentacles, a strong, down-to-earth woman. The reversed position may signify an opposition to become this, or someone who is like this. The seven of swords represents the immediate future; a theft of some kind, something that will rob you and affect your outcome.”

The girl could only sit and watch as Tina explained, pointing to each card.

"Now, the staff will help you determine what to do and what will come. Temperence here represents you, you as someone who is able to maintain balance, able to keep your cool. The reversed Hanged Man represents the environment, the forces around you. It represents a opposition around you to letting go, to sacrificing, to changing. This card is your guidance, the Knight of Swords is paired against the conscious influence, the Queen of Pentacles, representing how you should respond to the person that this represents, being blunt, logical, forceful. Acting this way will help the situation.

“And finally, the ultimate outcome is the World, representing accomplishment and fulfillment. This is a very positive card here, it means that it’s going to be alright. Just remember to watch out for this Queen of Pentacles, and remain against a resistance to change, and you will win out.”

“Oh,” the girl said, a little overwhelmed. “That’s...interesting. Um, um, thank you. How much do I...?”

“Not much. $10 will do me.”

“Oh, okay. Thanks.” The girl gave Tina a fresh bill and left, cast a glance or two at Reginald before leaving.

“Did you get all that?” Tina said without looking up while shuffling her cards and putting them away.
