Tarot

You Are Death
You symbolize the end, which can be frightening.
But you also symbolize the immortality of the soul.
You represent transformation, rebirth of a new life.
Sweeping away the past is part of this card, as painful as it may be.

Your fortune:

Don't worry, this card does not predict death itself.
Instead it foreshadows the ending of an era of your life, one that is hard to let go of.
But with the future great new things will come, and it's time to embrace them.
Mourn for a while, but then face the future with humility and courage.

What Tarot Card Are You?

---

The response above was associated with my birth name. When I entered my blogonym, the response was:

You Are The Chariot
You represent a difficult battle, and a well-deserved victory.
You tend to struggle to get what you want, both internally and externally.
You excel at controlling opposing forces, getting down the same path.
In the end, you bring glory and success - using pure will to move forward.

Your fortune:

There is great conflict in your life right now, either with yourself or others.
You must find a solution to this conflict, which is likely to be a "middle road" between the two forces.
You posses the skills to triumph over these struggles, as long as your will is strong.
You are transforming your inner self, building a better foundation for future successes.

Hmmm. Struggles and battles. Endings and new beginnings.

I assume the cards come up at random, as they would if a Tarot reader were laying them out before me. I don't perceive the Tarot as a means of fortune-telling; I perceive it from a Jungian perspective: as a door to inner space. More is learned from my interpretation of the images (pictoral and verbal) set before me than any "prediction".

Any day may be the beginning of a struggle. Every step may begin a new journey. Every dawn is new birth; every fall of head on pillow may be a little death.

Thanks Sam (and Karen) for directing me to this door.
