idealism - realism = cynicism
sometimes i don't even know what i'm saying...
i often contradict myself
To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.

tarot readings for 2007 (just for fun)

Self: Knight of Cups
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING The final steps of a long journey are about to be completed.The card in the Self position reveals aspects of how you perceive yourself right now. With the Knight of Cups (in some decks, a Prince) in this position, you are pictured as a road-weary traveler finally making it home. Arrival is the principal concept here. You have wandered far and wide, during which time you have had to rescue yourself from some challenging situations. Facing your illusions during this odyssey has caused you to appreciate what you once thought of as trivial or mundane. Now you are ready to return to the place you set out from with a changed attitude. It promises to be a joyful reunion.

Situation: Knight of Swords
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING When you cannot find a reason for the situation, look for the opportunity it may present.The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time. When the Knight of Swords (in some decks, a Prince) is in this position, you may be facing a person or institution that is armed against you. You may not know what has provoked such a situation. It may not even be personal, but perhaps you innocently wandered into a charged situation and unintentionally set it off. Use your instincts to determine a reasonable resolution. If it's too late for that, prepare yourself for the inevitable offensive. Viewed optimistically, the situation could present you with a worthy adversary who teaches you how to defend your position without being intimidated. Try to see this as a chance to practice your moves and become stronger at holding your ground. In any case, there may be no need to make yourself responsible for the hostilities -- the situation was tense before you arrived on the scene.

Challenges/ Opportunities: Six of Cups
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Once you have reviewed lessons learned in the past, go forward with confidence and courage.The card that lands in the Challenges/Opportunities position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones. When the Six of Cups is in this position, you have an opportunity to learn from the past, to dip into the waters of memory without being swept away with nostalgia. The past is a wonderful repository of information that can inform your choices in the present. Even though we can learn a lot from the past, we must remember that power lies in the present. Don't fail to make important new choices just because memories of the past are so compelling. Action needs to be the final outcome of this card, even if reflection is one of the steps you go through to get there.

Foundation: The Emperor
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING It's clear that you were raised by strong people who taught you the proper use of power.The card in the Foundation position points to influences from your personal history, your roots and background. The Emperor in this position suggests that early in life you were cultivated by a mentor or teacher whose aura of command challenged you to develop your own strength and authority. This enlightened role model lives in your memory and continues to guide you. You have the intrinsic intelligence and wisdom to know what right action is and how to use it because appropriate values were carefully demonstrated to you. Review what was passed on to you and determine what your teacher or inner ally would suggest at times like these. It's no accident that you have this archetype built into your personal foundation.

Recent Past: Three of Swords
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Learn to read the telltale clues that will help you avoid disappointment in the future.The card in the Recent Past position refers to events that are just departing, recently influential but now diminishing in power. With the Three of Swords in this position, you have lost something or someone who was important to you -- because a necessary level of cooperation, teamwork, trust or sharing was lacking. Differing worldviews may have created a feeling of alienation leading to a separation. It can be difficult to appreciate that sometimes it is necessary to back away from a relationship or situation to gain perspective. Avoid replaying this situation time and again in your mind, looking for things you should have done better. Instead, discover how to choose better partners, how to identify good, solid team members whom you will be able to trust and rely on.

Higher Power: Three of Coins
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Your work is inspired by a higher source.The card in the Higher Power position reflects the broader perspective and influence of your conscience, Guardian Angel, inner wisdom. When the Three of Coins falls in this position, you are being rewarded and acknowledged for faithful pursuit of your special talents, skills, and gifts. Your work, which will be remembered as visionary, represents the universal principles of beauty and truth. Your inspiration comes not just from your own passion and heartfelt instincts, but is also channeled from a higher source.

Near Future: Eight of Swords
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING You may be tested. Be prepared to defend your viewpoint, choices, and reasoning.The card in the Near Future position indicates which way the wind is blowing with regard to your situation. If you follow the Advice card, however, you can improve on or neutralize tendencies. The Eight of Swords in this position advises that you prepare yourself for a bout of rigorous questioning. It will be beneficial for all involved if you maintain objectivity and avoid defensiveness. You will need both stamina and flexibility to navigate the challenge before you. Take the time to prepare yourself -- both physically and emotionally -- by resting and eating well. It is too late to change the events in question, but if you let integrity be your guide, you will likely come through the examination with a greater sense of self-knowledge and self-respect.

Blocks & Inhibitions: Five of Cups
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Rather than dwell on what has been lost, emphasize the potential of what remains.The card in the Blocks position points to self-undermining tendencies, areas where you could be in denial, where you could get stuck -- unless you examine yourself and make some corrections. When the Five of Cups falls in this position, you may be feeling flattened and dispirited. It's impossible for you to comprehend why things had to happen the way they did. You may feel so demoralized that you cannot see the good that's left in the situation, what you could learn from it or how you can still turn the experience to your advantage. You may be overlooking the fact that two out of five of the cups are not spilled. All value is not lost, the potential is still there -- even two cups can sufficiently support whatever you should choose to do. Refuse to fall into a state of depression over what has been lost. Instead be grateful for what remains. It may well be that you could only have handled two cups worth in the first place. Starting now, emphasize the positive -- or an identification with the negative will defeat your efforts.

Allies: Seven of Cups
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Open yourself to those who love you and are able to be a part of your life.The card in the Allies position points to people who can be supportive or helpful to you at this time. The Seven of Cups in this position suggests that in some way you are a catalyst. People come to you with offers, invitations and opportunities to show your best self. You know you can't be all things to all people, but it's wonderful that people love you, want to do things with you and for you, and that they are thinking about you and how to further your cause. In order to help this moment last, refrain from either of two extremes: don't develop an inflated opinion of yourself and, on the other hand, do not become self-denying, humble or shy. Don't retreat from the emerging opportunities. This is the time for you to open your petals and send out your fragrance. Be grateful, warming and welcoming to the new and lovely people in your life. Time will show you who your true friends and partners are.

Advice: Two of Wands
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING Be patient and observant as you go through the decision making process.The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible. The Two of Wands in this position advises you to respect your own decision making process. Instead of berating yourself for indecisiveness, appreciate the various implications of possible choices. Avoid pushing yourself to make a commitment. Keep meditating, watching the situation and witnessing the forces at work. At some point you will have enough information to see clearly. The decision-making process will be over and the choice will be clear.

Long-term Potential: Eight of Wands
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING You have the capacity and will to become the master of a fertile and bountiful endeavor.The card in the Long-term Potential position points to unknowns still taking shape. It is the "wild card" yet to be played. When the Eight of Wands is in this position, your persistence has the potential to produce splendid artistry that would reflect not only your ideals but also society's cherished values. You can create an environment in which others can feel their highest, most expansive and optimistic selves. Your level of skill matches your ambition to organize, supervise and accomplish such a large endeavor. Your energy and enthusiasm are contagious and can draw others in to enjoy the benefits.

i have no idea what all that means. some of it makes no sense whatever to me. if you can interpret it, well... enlighten me. =P
