Cheeky Tarot

I forget sometimes how powerful and important the tarot can be in helping me take a good hard look at my life. This past weekend I had this really big question on my brain (not related to work) and I asked it, doing a full Celtic cross reading on it. The results were baffling... they made no sense!

...Until I realized that it had completely ignored my question and had gone straight ahead onto critiquing my work situation.

Sometimes I hate the tarot because it has that funny way of telling you what you really need to hear, rather than what you actually want to know. So I got a big fat kick in the ass, lots of hard love and a solid amount of chiding before I realized it was SO right. And I was forced to see what I had been turning a blind eye to for months.

It was only after I had properly digested this information that I decided not to let the tarot off the hook completely. I asked my original question and pulled a single card for an answer.

And I got it.

Cheeky tarot.

lol OH BOY, could I ever relate to this post. The tarot IS cheeky! :)

Do you find that it difficult at times to really detach from the possible 'answer'? This is an area I've struggled with - especially when it comes to my personal life. I have to really work at keeping it all a sort of "OK - for my highest and best good, I want the truth, blah blah blah" thing.

But then, I'm sort of cheeky too ;)

Totally. Reminds me of that infamous scene with Jack Nicholson. I want the truth... but can I handle it?

Glad I'm not the only one the tarot plays hardball with ;)
