You can beat The Devil.

[trenchkamen]

Did a favorable tarot reading today--or, at least, it gave me something favorable to meditate on. Death must come into play before anything can progress; otherwise, things will remain in stagnation. The Chariot is the answer to the question about beating The Devil given a circumstance. The Lovers is the 10th position card (in the Celtic Cross)--the card of an important decision, of a fork in the road. My readings are always scarily accurate (I don't just mean you can sort-of twist it and you can see how it would work), but this time, there was an element of hope added when I drew a clarification card. But, as always, no favorable outcome is guaranteed without action, and nobody can grasp that potential without being willing to try. I would go into further detail (who is ‘crossing’ progress and the situation, my speculations, etc) but such details are not for the public domain. (If you know me in Real Life, you can piece together bits of what I've said.)

I've decided I'm going to be Nny again for Halloween this year. It's a simple, comfortable costume, and I don't feel like going all-out with makeup and several layers this year--I'm extremely busy this week. That can wait for PAF in December.

I've got to meet a Japanese partner at the library.
