I am being a lazy bum and just putting the entire conversation in here. I don't want to edit. If there is something you don't see after a name, it was a smiley. Her yahoo messenger read, "Reading Tarot Cards," so I asked:
Stephee: you giving readings or receiving?
Monica Thrasher: LOL HEY
Stephee: hey
Monica Thrasher: Reading my own.. want me to do you a spread?
Monica Thrasher: I just finished mine
Stephee: yep
Stephee: please
Monica Thrasher: I put it on my diary
Stephee: (big grin smiley)
Monica Thrasher: what kind you want?
Stephee: i don't know
Stephee: LOL
Stephee: what kinds are there?
Stephee: can you tell me if they will ever get the freaking back pay right?
Stephee: LOL
Monica Thrasher: hang on just a sec I'll describe the different spreads
Stephee: ok
Monica Thrasher: ok there's a Zodiac Spread it gives insights on Career, friends, Secret Fears, Personality, Financial Matters, Travel, Home life, Pleasures, Health, Marriage, Legal matters, and Religion
Stephee: ok
Monica Thrasher: I know the Web Spread too its Past/Present/Future details of Emotional Aspects, Relationships, Career, Finance, Spiritual Matters, Obstacles, and Health
Stephee: zodiac
Monica Thrasher: then there are cards you can draw and meditate upon
Monica Thrasher: and then just the Q&A stuff if you just want to ask a question and see what I draw for you
Monica Thrasher: you want the zodiac spread?
Stephee: hmmm...
Stephee: hang on just a sec phone call
Monica Thrasher: k
Monica Thrasher: I'll shuffle
Monica Thrasher: LOL
Stephee: yeah, do it please
Stephee: ok
Stephee: (smiley)
Monica Thrasher: ok gimme a minute to lay out the spread for you I'll just start when I get em up
Stephee: ok
Monica Thrasher: It's 12 cards of course one for each Zodiac Sign
Stephee: ok
Monica Thrasher: and it's a circle spread.. The first card is Aries...Personality... this will be YOUR personality
Stephee: k
Monica Thrasher: ok I drew a 4 of Swords the card is 4 swords with jewelled hilts, all plunged into the ground with daisies growing around them in the background is Newgrange in Ireland.....
Monica Thrasher: hang on I gotta fix this stupid popcorn for the kids
Monica Thrasher: ok..
Monica Thrasher: do you want to know what the symbolism of the card means or just the meaning?
Monica Thrasher: ooh this is a good one for you
Stephee: sorry
Stephee: i was on the phone with a lady getting the loan for the tickets!!!!
Monica Thrasher: woo hoo
Stephee: i just got them and they will just t ake it out of the checking account!!!!!!!
Stephee: sorry
Monica Thrasher: thats awesome..
Stephee: mmm, gimme all of it
Monica Thrasher: ok the swords shown are decorative or ceremonial, rather than weapons of war... The indicate that conflict has ceased and the time has come to rest after struggles
Stephee: thank god
Stephee: lol
Monica Thrasher: the daisies growing up around the swords were once important plants for war weary.. used to counter the shock of battle injuries
Stephee: k
Monica Thrasher: In the background of the card is NewGrange, a passage grave in County Meath, Ireland, Constructed around 3000 BC. It isdecorated with spirals, cheverons, and lozenges-symbols of rebirth and the Earth goddess
Monica Thrasher: that's just explaining what the images on the card are..
Monica Thrasher: ok..
Stephee: ok
Monica Thrasher: this card indicates that you have just gone through a period of great difficulty and that it is now time to rest after your struggles and gather your energies before you move on....
Monica Thrasher: you need quiet time alone so that you can reflect on what has happened to you and come to terms with it.. It will be counter-productive at the moment to rush around, trying to keep busy or fill up your life with frenzied socializing. You need to rebuild your inner reserves before you are ready to go out into the world again. Now is not the time to make any definite plans..
Monica Thrasher: LOL I'm SOOO not making this up I'm just typing word for word what this card is...
Stephee: LOL
Monica Thrasher: Spiritually it is time to seek solitude, even go on a retreat. You need to spend some time alone in passive meditation. Now is not the time to attempt to work with others
Monica Thrasher: thats it
Stephee: ROFL and i am killing myself with this KV stuff
Stephee: well so far it is right huh?
Stephee: i'm a believer
Monica Thrasher: yup that was your personality/personal self card
Stephee: does it have my name on the back too?
Monica Thrasher: ok the second card is Taurus.. associated with Finance
Monica Thrasher: LOL
Monica Thrasher: I drew the 4 of Discs...
Monica Thrasher: the card shows 4 jeweled discs arranged in a diamond pattern
Monica Thrasher: the 4 discs are highly polished and studded with precious stones.. They glitter and sparkle blinding the eye to the beautiful landscape that lies behind them which is lush and full of promis but totally ignored.
Monica Thrasher: Meaings:
Monica Thrasher: You are addigning far too much importance to possessions. Material acquisitiveness is dominating your life.. It is often said that Money is the root of all eveil but the actual quote is "greed is the root of all evil". Money is only metal and paper, it is your attitude toward it that is in question..
Monica Thrasher: Holy cow that gave me chills.. This was a Finance card and it's actually specifically about MONEY
Monica Thrasher: Creepy.. ok I'll keep going..
Stephee: lol, ok
Monica Thrasher: A person who clings too tightly to their money and material possession and values themselves in terms of what they own is betraying a lack of personal worth.. You need to be able to let go of things you no longer need, including emotions, in order to move foward and let your energies and creativity flow freely.. Spiritually this is a barren card, you can see nothing beyond the material
Monica Thrasher: HARSH
Stephee: (sad smiley)
Stephee: LOL
Monica Thrasher: this is really cool..
Monica Thrasher: ok 3rd card is Gemini.. Travel..
Stephee: lol
Monica Thrasher: uh oh
Monica Thrasher: LOL
Monica Thrasher: 5 of cups..
Monica Thrasher: ok this card shows two cups wrapped with bindweed
Monica Thrasher: they have fallen over and their contents have spilled
Stephee: great
Monica Thrasher: Three cups remain standing and are full of liquid
Monica Thrasher: In the background is Dozemary Pool in Cornwall illuminated by the moon
Monica Thrasher: this has ALOT of symbolism I'll just pick out the important stuff
Stephee: k
Monica Thrasher: ok Bindweed strangles anything that it climbs around and is a symbol of dagerous obstinacy. It is said that the climbing bindweed twines from left to right and cannot be persuaded to do otherwise
Monica Thrasher: ok the rest is about the Dozemary Pool
Monica Thrasher: .. the meanings:
Monica Thrasher: When the 5 of cups appears in your spread it indicates that you are wallowing in regret for something you have lost and ignoring what you still have left... which may be more valuable in the long run.. this card often indicates a marriage or love affair gone wrong leading to seperations
Stephee: (straight mouthed smiley)
Monica Thrasher: but in this card the situation is not terminal. Ther eis something that can be retrieved. You seem to be trying to avoid making decision, hoping that by ignoring a situation it will go away
Monica Thrasher: maybe you got something from that I didn't
Stephee: i think you were thinking of the wrong stephanie when you touched that one, LOL
Monica Thrasher: It's supposed to go with Travel & Communications
Monica Thrasher: lol
Stephee: i don't know what to so with that one
Monica Thrasher: ok the next one is Cancer-Home life and Parent
Stephee: ok
Monica Thrasher: parentS
Monica Thrasher: LOL
Monica Thrasher: ok
Monica Thrasher: I got the Lovers reversed
Monica Thrasher: upside down
Stephee: k
Monica Thrasher: the card shows the May King and Queen about to undergo their ritual marriage. They dance around the maypole of birch wood
Monica Thrasher: the Queen wears a garland of flowers and the Kins is clad in green
Monica Thrasher: A dove circles the sky above the maypole
Monica Thrasher: Reversed Meanings:
Monica Thrasher: The lovers reversed indicates that you are refusing to take responsibility for the consequences of your own actions... You made a hasty choice based purely on the desire for instant gratification and you are now trying to lay blame on fate. In some circumstances the lovers reversed can indicate inner conflicts, being at war with yourself rather than external forces
Monica Thrasher: Perhaps you are punishing yourself for something you have done or feel responsible for? This is not helping you or anyone else
Monica Thrasher: You must do what you can to make ammends, and if this is not possible let the past go and resolve to make better choices in the future
Stephee: I am always at war with myself
Monica Thrasher: Maybe I should concentrate a little more.. LOL
Stephee: LOL
Monica Thrasher: and stop trying to eat popcorn while I do a tarot reading.. LOL
Stephee: yeah maybe
Stephee: hehehe
Stephee: hey, what can i say it is a free reading
Monica Thrasher: LOL ok next card.. I promise I'l focus
Monica Thrasher: LMAO
Stephee: suuure
Monica Thrasher: LEO -Pleasures..
Monica Thrasher: woooo
Stephee: maybe i should go get my witche's tarot out of the closet
Monica Thrasher: lets find out what your pleasures are
Stephee: hmmm, ok
Monica Thrasher: these are Celtic Pagan
Monica Thrasher: k I got Queen of Swords
Monica Thrasher: the card shows a beautiful young woman with brown hair and gray eyes. Her expression is benign but serious she hold aloft a sword and is dressed in drifting yellow robes
Monica Thrasher: It is the spring equinox-when the earth regenerates- and the land around her is beginning to blossom
Monica Thrasher: ivinatory Meanings: The appearance of this card in your spread may indicate that the woman is graceful and unconventional, quick-witted and confident. Though she likes to be with people , to talk to them and listen to them in equal measure she is not happy in a crowd
Monica Thrasher: She is artistic and loves music, poetry, and beautiful things
Stephee: i like this card
Monica Thrasher: the Queen of Swords is totally honest and a seeker of the truth
Monica Thrasher: hating ignorant prejudice and blind faith
Monica Thrasher: she sees beneath the surface of things and has an intense desire to see justice and fair play
Monica Thrasher: She is adept at balancing opposing faction to further her desires
Monica Thrasher: Her nobility of mind can often mean that she is lonely, she is loyal and has the highest ideals others often disappoint her by not measuring up
Stephee: interesting
Monica Thrasher: Any man she gets involved with had better be perfect any less will not do for her rarefied ideal. She can appear cold and proud, because of her intellect and ideals are more important to her than any physical attraction
Monica Thrasher: Be Warned- she is repelled by excessive displays of emotion and hates anyone telling her what she should do and how she should behave
Stephee: (big grin smiley)
Stephee: that is me
Monica Thrasher: thats you
Monica Thrasher: LOL
Monica Thrasher: ok Virgo is next... health
Monica Thrasher: k
Monica Thrasher: I drew 4 of cups
Stephee: k
Monica Thrasher: Oh and its reversed.. sorry
Stephee: ok
Monica Thrasher: this card shows four rusting cups standing in front of a dripping yew tree in a hazy landscape
Monica Thrasher: the four of cups reversed indicates that you have been trying to gain transitory satisfactions in life from seeking ever greater novelties and excitements..but in reality these have brought you little pleasure
Monica Thrasher: you quickly grow bored and sated with each new thing and continue to search for what will really satisfy you
Monica Thrasher: This card is telling you that contentment can only come from within, from being happy with yourself
Monica Thrasher: You need to achieve something you can be proud of, not merely be entertained
Monica Thrasher: did that make any sense?
Stephee: like going to school and getting my cosmetology license
Stephee: i would be proud of that and happier with myself
Monica Thrasher: yeah I just don't see how that relates to Health
Stephee: well, i sit all day bored and miserable and get crazier and crazier
Stephee: it would improve my mental health
Monica Thrasher: LOL
Stephee: hey i am serious too
Stephee: and i would be out actually getting exercise, LOL
Monica Thrasher: ok Libra is Marriage and Relationships
Stephee: uh oh
Monica Thrasher: ok I got Knight of Wands
Monica Thrasher: this card depicts a young man dressed in red and gold.. he holds aloft a flaming torch while carrying a spear in the other hand.
Monica Thrasher: he journeys through the summer twilight over a hillside covered in ferns and heather
Monica Thrasher: hey isn't Williams dress uniform red and gold?
Stephee: it has red trim and gold buttons
Monica Thrasher: thought so
Monica Thrasher: LOL
Monica Thrasher: funny
Monica Thrasher: ok the meanings
Stephee: should i start calling him my knight of wands? hehehe
Monica Thrasher: the knight of wands represents the volatile and changeable nature of the element of fire..
Monica Thrasher: He calls you to invoke the fire withing
Monica Thrasher: The knight of wands can represent a real person who influences a change in your life
Monica Thrasher: He is an extrovert, brimming with restless energy
Monica Thrasher: he loves a challenge and is virtually fearless
Monica Thrasher: thriving on the stimulation of danger and risk
Stephee: hmm, sound like a marine to you?
Monica Thrasher: The knight is intelligent, witty, charming, and humorous.
Monica Thrasher: his ideals are very high, he is a philosopher and seeker of the truth
Monica Thrasher: The knight is warm and generous and is often something of a rebel
Monica Thrasher: he is a lovable character who makes a wise and loyal friend, though his temper is quick to flare up if he thinks anyone is abusing his generosity
Monica Thrasher: his temper is quite short lived, however, and you would have to do something pretty bad or unjust to make an enemy of him but if you do he is formidable. Be warned that the knight of Wands is a free spirit and hates to be tied down
Monica Thrasher: Romantically he is a difficult proposition. Responsibility is not a word he likes. He needs the constant stimulation of new experiences, new horizons, and new ideas- settling down does not appeal to him
Monica Thrasher: (smiley raising one eyebrow)
Stephee: lol
Stephee: just what i was thinking
Monica Thrasher: lol
Monica Thrasher: Scorpio is Legal matters or Endings
Stephee: k
Monica Thrasher: anything you got going on that would pertain to that?
Stephee: mmm, past due bills?
Stephee: lol
Monica Thrasher: LOL ok
Monica Thrasher: 9 of Discs reversed
Monica Thrasher: the card shows nine steel discs depicted against the background of a windswept crag and a stormy sky
Monica Thrasher: The Nine of discs reversed indicates financial gain from tainted sources or money obtained by theft or embezzlement.. Either you are fully aware of the source of this money, or you suspect it. Ultimately there is a price to be paid for everything
Monica Thrasher: (rolling and laughing smiley)
Monica Thrasher: LMAO
Stephee: HAHAHAHAAAAAAA
Monica Thrasher: ok last one is sagittarius
Monica Thrasher: Religion or Philosophy
Stephee: k
Monica Thrasher: anything in particular to relate to it?
Stephee: nah
Monica Thrasher: while I shuffle?
Monica Thrasher: ok its the 8 of cups
Monica Thrasher: the card shows 8 discarded cups.. the lie abandoned and entwined with ive and cinquefold flowers.
Monica Thrasher: Spiritually, you may be called upon to leave behind material success for something higher. The ivy of the card represents the change of consciousness that takes place at initiation, bringing with it the gifts of prophecy and vision It teaches the lesson of sacrifice: the old self must be left behind or "die" before a spiritual rebirth can take place
Stephee: hmm
Monica Thrasher: brb
Stephee: k
Monica Thrasher: ok thats all 12
Stephee: cool
Stephee: ty
Stephee: (smiley)
Monica Thrasher: I love how they actually pertain to almost exactly what its supposed to
Monica Thrasher: like a love drawing will actually give you a card related to LOVE or Finance directly talks about money
Stephee: i know it is neat
Monica Thrasher: if you got the Money reading on the Marriage draw it would be stupid
Monica Thrasher: its not vague at all
Monica Thrasher: and each card only has the one meaning it doesn't have like a way to make it pertain to one thing or another
Stephee: right
Monica Thrasher: just the regular meaning and a reversed meaning
Monica Thrasher: thats really cool
Monica Thrasher: ok ask me a question I wanna see if it works well that way too
Monica Thrasher: Or try this
Monica Thrasher: just say a person's name and I'll draw their card
Stephee: crap i don't think i will get this loan
Stephee: william
Monica Thrasher: why not?
Monica Thrasher: k I'm shuffling again
Stephee: i have to have a copy of his military id and a signature by a CO
Monica Thrasher: can he just fax the people a copy of it
Stephee: no and it ends up being $1500 just for 2 plane tickets
Stephee: i have to open a savings account with bank one and set up allotments
Stephee: i think i will just stick with expedia
Monica Thrasher: crap
Stephee: yeah
Stephee: oh well
Stephee: i will just be phone and internet free until the 15th
Stephee: lol
Monica Thrasher: that sucks
Stephee: LOL, oh well
Stephee: i am going to cali to see my husband
Stephee: that is all that matters
Monica Thrasher: yeah
Monica Thrasher: Kelly just called to tell me her husbands deploy date has been moved up to Aug 9th.. He just got home from a 6 month deployment on June 10th
Stephee: wow
Monica Thrasher: he's going for another 6 mnths
Stephee: gee
Monica Thrasher: yeah he's a crew cheif.. that was one of the jobs they tried to give Michael at Meps as a garanteed job but he would take it
Stephee: yeah?
Monica Thrasher: yeah I actually wanted him to but I'm glad he didn't
Stephee: don't blame you
Monica Thrasher: he got his deployment sheet today in his email it shows everyone in the Comm Squadron and the dates they're coming up for Deployment
Monica Thrasher: I dont' know how he got out of it but Michaels isn't until Jan-May 2006
Stephee: wow
Monica Thrasher: we may not even be here then
Monica Thrasher: Toby got here the same time he did and his is this coming January
Stephee: how do they decide?
Monica Thrasher: dunno
Stephee: i think they draw names out of hats
Stephee: lol
Monica Thrasher: But if they DON'T push them into a deployment between those dates they have to go to the bottom of the list again
Monica Thrasher: so it could be another 2 years before he comes up to go if he doesn't go then
Monica Thrasher: so basically if he doesn't go then he could go through his first enlistment without being deployed
Stephee: wow
Monica Thrasher: yeah that doesn't count TDY's though
Monica Thrasher: he'll have to go back to Biloxi when he goes to get his 7 level training
Monica Thrasher: I think thats 6-10 weeks not sure
Monica Thrasher: and whatever other TDY'
Monica Thrasher: TDY's they wanna send him on
Stephee: k
Stephee: we just get thrown into stuff without warning, lol
Monica Thrasher: yeah
Monica Thrasher: kI need to run get ready for school
Monica Thrasher: I got about an hour to get all my shit together and get a shower and paint up and stuff
Stephee: ok
Stephee: have fun
OK, so I inserted smiley descriptions. So what. LOL. And I think I put a wrong one...the first regular smiley was really a rolling laughing smiley. Who cares though right? So what do you think? Pretty accurate for the most part huh?
Stephee
