I had an idea after responding to Shade's response in this thread. While responding there, I realized that some of my greatest hobbies are really not shared with anyone else. My boyfriend shares some of them, however, I do not have anyone outside of my family that is interested in a lot of my interests. I have been reading Tarot cards for a few years now, and I appreciate them as beautiful works of art, as well as wonderful tools that can be used well by the open mind. I don't have people that would like to have readings done around me at all beside reading for myself and my boyfriend, so I was thinking if any of my wonderful members here would like to try it out, I would be more than happy to! There is no charge (real money or kudos), this is simply because I love to read and I would love to expand my skills outward to an array of people. If you are uncomfortable with this idea, I understand completely, so no hard feelings. I will warn you all ahead of time, that this will be by technical 'real' reading over the internet, as whenever I did get the chance to read for people (or obviously myself), it is always in person. I'd love to see how this goes. I'm not sure how many readings I can do after one another, as I get drained depending on the reading and what it was pertaining to. I can never be sure how I will feel after a reading or even during, so I will go by a case to case basis. Anyone can ask for a reading, just post your interest and this can be done in a few ways. You can ask whatever you would like outright so I know the question or you can not state anything but your interest and I will do a reading and tell you what I see and feel (aka, you may keep your questions private if you would like). I have a few decks of different Tarot cards, and I will always state what cards I am reading and post a picture of the cards and their layout upon request if you would like. I would love to try this out if anyone would be interested.

Oh, wonderful! If you would like a reading, I would be more than happy to do so! Just let me know if you would and if you do, a specific question or you can keep the question to yourself and I will just do a reading and tell you what I see/feel. <3

Ayshajade's Reading
Knight of Cups (Reversed) Ten of Swords (Reversed) Queen of Wands (Reversed)
Knight of Cups (Reversed)Ax: Aysha, you once had a lot of love, happiness, emotions (a gift of everything put into one) to deliver to someone, however, the plan was spoiled and she is still emotionally holding on to the shell of what was once filled. The mission to deliver this gift seems as though it is fruitless at this point and time.
Ten of Swords (Reversed)
Ax: Aysha, you have been hurt by someone's actions to the point where part of your self has died. You still can feel the pain, but it is somehow ceasing little by little. You can no longer be hurt any more than you already have, the damage you took put you in a position where from this point on, although, as stated, you still feel the pain, your healing from this person's actions can only continue to heal. You hit rock bottom, and now it is time to rejuvenate. Rejuvenation may be a very slow process, however, give it time because that is what your emotional end of your soul is doing. The number of this card (10) signifies this is the beginning of a new cycle for you, or the closing of one chapter in your life and the beginning of another.
Queen of Wands (Reversed)
Ax: You have a choice, Aysha, you can be strong and do what your gut tells you is right to do, or you can be weak and risk the past repeating itself. Take a look around you and take note of what is yours that may seem ordinary to the average person, however, to you, it is extraordinary. Whatever that is that you believe is extraordinary to you, grab it, hold on to it, and do not let it go, for that is one of the many things that will keep you grounded and headed in the right direction.
Putting the Story Together Aysha, you once had a gift to give to someone who in turn burned you with his or her actions (I'msensing a male, but I could be wrong). You feel in your heart that you still have a bit of that 'gift' of yourself to give to this person who hurt you, however, you know that if you act upon those feelings, it will not be the same gift you would have been giving prior to this person's scorn against you; you would just be giving the gift's box without the present actually in it. Your thoughts consume much of your time, thoughts about this interaction that happened with this person who hurt you. It is tempting to give in and allow them to make a home in your brain, however, the strong thing to do would be to hold on to what you know is extraordinary in your life personally, and that will pull you through. Hindsight is 20/20 and at the point you are at now is one where you can move on so you do not have to have the lingering feeling of your past wounds affect you any longer, you can simply look back on them as just a part of your past. In order for that to happen though, you need to realize that you have the power to be the strong person you know you can be, you simply have to acknowledge it with sincerity. [/end of reading]
Now, I have two things to say about this reading.
1. This is what the cards showed me through their story. I did a basic three card reading, so more in depth details would have to be done with a clarifying spread, so this was just the basics of the story they told me about you at the moment.
2. I kept getting the word 'extraordinary', especially when I looked at the reversed Queen of Wands. Is there something that you have/own that to many may seem ordinary, but to you is so much more? Apparently, from what I read in this Tarot reading's story, this object/person/thing is essential for you to move on from the part of your past that is tormenting you.
Edit: I just thought of something while looking at your reading a bit more. Is your astrological birth sign a Leo by chance? That wouldn't match with what is in your profile, however, I am curious if you happen to be (I know I didn't always put my real birthday online in the past, I do nowadays, however, I never use to). If you are uncomfortable revealing that, that is okay as well.
I want to thank you too for giving me this experience, I really enjoyed reading for you. I'd love to know some feedback on this reading!

This is such an amazing read I am so impressed, I've never had one before and I knew they were true but, to be this accurate is still a surprise to me! The power of ESP still amazes me <3 So thank you so much for doing this for me it really has helped me a lot.
First of all for the Knight of cups: I explain the feelings below as they merge together<3
Secondly, Ten of swords: "Aysha, you have been hurt by someone's actions to the point where part of your self has died. You still can feel the pain, but it is somehow ceasing little by little."
This part means a lot to me as I have been in an abusive relationship where I felt there is no way to escape. It's not the physical abuse, it's mental. I know I used to be this strong person who had so much confidence and I didn't ever take no notice if anyone said anything bad about me. It's hard to hear from the person you love that you're all those names you're not. To me that saying really isn't correct - the names are the one's that really crush me. I can't ever speak to people about my problems, I have lost a lot of "friends" already, who have just forgotten me and generally don't care, they've made me out to be the bad one. The closest people to me are the one's who have truly hurt me the most. A part of me has died, I'm not that strong person I really used to be. Now when I look in the mirror all I see is faults because of the names drumming into me over a period of a few years. At first I laughed it off, but now after hearing it for so long I believe it. I hate to talk about my problems because when I've tried I just get that usual response; "leave while you're young, you've got your whole life ahead of you..." I feel there is no escape.
Additionally, Queen of hearts: "You can be strongand do what your gut tells you is right to do, or you can be weak and risk thepast repeating itself."
This means a lot to me as before the relationship, on the day I met him I had this feeling in my gut and I was confused by what this meant and tried to overcome this strange feeling I have never felt before. I wasn't even attracted to him, in fact we've always had this love/hate relationship. I've always wanted to walk away from my problems, I'm just not a fighter any more but this telling me that being strong is the better option has really made me feel so relieved.
"extraordinary to you, grab it, hold on to it, and do not let it go" - I know exactly what this means. I have always seen my 'gift' I tend not to call it that as I have always been an open soul and always take the hidden real meaning of life and after death exactly how it is that has always been within me. I used to hate it as lying in my bed at night people came to me and I was petrified and I still am. It always comes when I never expect it too. For example, I knew my friends mum died before anyone else did. I was sleeping in bed and It's always in a state where I am half asleep and half awake, where I can't react to my feelings but I am aware of what is going on around me and I seen an angel in my room. Now an angel? No he/she didn't have big wings and a halo... nothing like that. It was a pure white ghostly figure with slits for eyes and I remember looking at this figure in awe. This was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen - I was convinced of it and now looking back it was only a ghostly figure. I remember seeing my Virgin Mary statue I have on my windowsill beside my bed (which was my granddad's) and she was glowing and I was smiling knowingly. In my head I knew what was going on, but in my awake state I do not. I remember chatting to someone for ages who said on the end of my bed and I said, "it's okay now, go into the light". I don't even know why I said it but in my head I knew what I was doing. The next morning I woke up around 5 in the morning and ran into my mums room saying "I can't breathe, I can't breathe", except I do not remember this my mum told me. When we got up in the morning my mum got a text saying that my friends mum (which was also her friend) had died.
Also on what you said about the word 'extraordinary' something I own and yes you are right I'll tell you why =) Sorry for being long winded here but this explains everything to me <3 I had a dream and I ran into a strange door and I remember in my dream I was think, "how did I get here?" So I went through this door and I came to a side of a stage where there was an audience containing everyone I know, from family, friends, random people who I know who don't mean anything to me emotionally. Except they were all still as if they was trapped in time. Then out of the crowd there was my Granddad. He has been gone for just over 10 years and not once have I ever experienced anything from him. i rushed over to him, tears streaming down my face. I remember speaking to him for hours I asked him what was it like where he was? He smiled at me and he told me everything I wanted to know, but I won't remember what he said when I woke up. He was telling me about my pets that had passed and my soul instantly felt at ease knowing these answers. Then he said, "There is something really important go over there and can you see a note on the door?" I walked across the room and there was a folded note stuck to the door. It was a couplet taken from a poem. He told me to read it out loud, until it sticks in my head. He told me this is really important and I must not forget it. He told me, "Aysha I really have to go I did whatever I could to be here. The poem may not mean anything to you now but it may in your future. Keep looking out for me, there is something really important that's going to happen". He didn't say what but I seemed to know at the time what he meant. He also added, "Ryan knows what I mean", there was a sparkle in his eye. He has never met ryan,but it was a massive comfort knowing he's there for me. At the time (Ryan my boyfriend) was in prison. He is a good lad just being in the wrong place at the wrong time he's not the stereotypical thug you may think he has such a soft heart and soul. I told him about it and he said he was preying when he was in there. I also told my mum and she said the couplet was my granddad's favourite poem 'Footsteps in the sand' - I had never heard of this poem before but my mum told me it's about following someone's footsteps and always being there behind you.
A few months down the line, my mum was helping my Grandma tidy her room and she came across a small box at the bottom of the cupboard she opened it and it was a small badge with a footstep on it. My mum gave it me and said, for some reason I get the feeling my dad wanted you to have this <3 I know this is what you're referring too.
My birth sign isn't a Leo I am a libra but I know exactly why you picked up on the leo star sign as the person/my boyfriend who I have been talking about is a leo so I am so shocked at this
Sorry for the massssssssooooosiveeeee essay but your reading has meant so much to me thank you so much <3

Aysha: Aysha, I seriously can not express to you in words how deeply it has touched me that my reading meant so much to you. I love reading the Tarot cards and to see things in the cards and have had them happened or unfold in my future is one thing (still amazes me), but to read for someone else and reassure them about things they may or may not have been sure of is just a feeling I can not even explain. You have been through so much, and although I could not see exact details in the cards, as I didn't read into it for that, with just the basic reading I did I could feel it. Anytime you want a reading, never, ever hesitate to ask me.
That's the Leo energy I was feeling as well. I knew it was in there somewhere. <3
Newlndnfire: I would love to do a reading for you! I will start in a bit and post here. Would you like a picture of your layout as well? ^__^

Newlndnfire: You got it lovely! ^____^
Aysha: I'm so happy it did mean a lot to you though! Don't worry about saying a lot either, people sharing their feelings never bother me, I really actually enjoy learning about other people. Especially when I do a reading for someone (the few times when it was for someone other than myself), the feedback in so invaluable to me. <3

I'd love to get a reading too whenever you have time, an ordinary one would be fine with a private question. Thank you! Newlndnfire's Reading
Five of Wands Ace of Swords Queen of Pentacles (Reversed)
Five of Wands
Ax: Newlndnfire, it seems as though you have some ideas you believe are great, however, you may feel as though you do not have the necessary means to portray these ideas outside of your head. Organization may also be an issue here, as it looks as though what could be a solid plan in your head, is only in your head and not organized into the full scheme as it should be. If people at this time are putting ideas you may have started to explain down, don't feel as though they will not approve of or like them later down the road, some people are just merely fighting your ideas because they can, not because they truly have much of an opinion of them. Ignore petty banter and continue to develop what it is you want to come into fruition.
Ace of Swords
Ax: Newlndnfire, the harder you work, the more you will gain. You can't reap what you don't sow, and here it is clearly stated that now is not a time to be idle. You have either accomplished what it is you have desperately wanted to accomplish or you are so close to doing so, the prize is almost visible after all of this time. It may not have been easy, however, you can conquer, part of you I see already has or you would not be able to even see the triumphant finish line like I feel you saw, if only a glimpse of. Remember once you do in fact receive the reward for your troubles, do not forget that without constant action and maintenance, that reward may crumble. This is not something that you can just let to its own devices once accomplished; keep at it.
Queen of Pentacles (Reversed)
Ax: Newlndnfire, when I see this card now, I
feel as though this prize was in fact already obtained, you have reached what you wanted to reach. You are somehow not as enthralled with this as you thought you would have been. You contemplate just letting this new obtained prize go, however, you know if you do, that will break all of the walls you have built around you that you used to originally get this said prize. This may scare you, I'm not sure about that, however, it is definitely a possibility, as those walls you have surrounded yourself with have basically become you...to break them could prove to be unsettling to you.
Putting the Story Together I have to say, this was an interesting reading, Newlndnfire...I got very conflicting energies here.The initial energy was one of manifested ideas that people may or very well may not have approved of. Despite people not approving, however, you took that as petty disagreements (which they very well may have been at the time), however, as I read on from the Five of Wands to the Ace of Swords, I saw that you must have developed these ideas along the way enough to at least see your reward in sight, and I can feel it wasn't an easy road to reach that point either. There were many conflicts along the way, and times when you weren't sure if continuing was the best plan, but nevertheless, you did continue. Then when the reversed Queen of Pentacles was read in this story, she showed me that you must have in fact reached this prize of some sort already. You are not happy with it though, at least not as much as you thought you would have been. You started in a place where you were unsure because of the mass of thoughts you had that were opposed by different people and their viewpoints, however, you trudged on and not without conflict and disarray, reached the point at which you could see your prize or your reward you were desperately working toward, however, it proved to be a success, yes, because you wanted it so bad, however, in the end, at this very point and time, you don't feel as though this prize is doing as much for you (whether that be mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually), though I'm leaning more toward a physical stand point for this, that could be off though. You are contemplating letting this success go, and moving on, however, moving on would break down all of the walls and barriers around yourself you built up to get where you are. The breaking of the walls could of course be scary. It is ultimately up to you as to what you should do in this situation, as it always is. Sometimes the greatest reward can be that of not what we so desperately fight tooth and nail for, but one that was waiting all along for us when we just let go and let the Universe unfold things as they were supposed to be.
[/end of reading]
I have a few things to say about this reading.
1. This was one of the most conflicting readings I have ever done for myself or otherwise. Now, this very well could have been that I am mentally and spiritually a bit tired at the moment, as I usually read for myself, and reading for someone else (two people) in one day maybe made this second reading difficult, though I some how do not think that is the case, because when the cards were read together as a story and not separate, I could feel and see things much more fluidly. This is not a bad thing though, so please don't take it that way, it was just a conflict of different feelings and thoughts I was getting when reading the cards as individuals.
2. I was not doing a purposeful past-present-future reading, however, in the story the cards told me, it turned out to be almost in that style if not completely in that style of reading. Very interesting, as I have never had a spread choose the way it wanted to be read without me intentionally thinking 'Hey, I'm going to do this layout or this layout, etc.' This reading was definitely an experience though, and I am thankful I had this opportunity to do this reading for you.
3. When you read what the cards showed me and told me, you will see that not until I put the cards together as a story does a 'story' per se start to form. See, in my past experience, when I do general readings like this, almost 100% of the time I have seen that even when cards are read individually next to one another (and not read in relation to the position they are in next to one another), they still have somewhat of a relatively strong relation and 'story' to one another. This reading did not. The cards red individually were almost completely of different energy.
This was a very special reading, I learned quite a bit from it. I'd love to hear your feedback; and please, if this reading is off mark at all, let me know, it will only allow me to grow in my practice. I appreciate feedback whether it be that this reading 'spoke' to you or if it didn't. Thank you for letting me do this.

I'll be honest it was probably conflicted because I'm a bit conflicted haha. Well at FIRST when I read them all alone I could only apply bits and pieces to myself, some really didn't apply at all but then once I read the story with them all together it started to make a bit more sense. Right now I've been really trying to pick the path I'm going to take with my life. I wanted to be a professor for the longest time but my family (not my mom but like grandparents and such) would always like make fun of this and tell me I should be a doctor and stuff. I expressed to them that I wanted to be a professor and shouldn't they want me to be happy but they never stopped (even now) it really started to get to me. Eventually I decided I didn't want to be a professor, this was on my own though. Finally after not knowing for a while I decided I DID want to work with kids and thought pediatrics would be a good place to go. Naturally these people where ecstatic that I'd decided to do what they wanted. I was happy too, I'd finally made my decision and it was great. I'd gotten approval and such too which for me is what I seek often. I'm thinking the first part relates to the swords and the second relates to Queen of Pentacles because although I was happy with my decision for a while it soon became much less enthralling. I was in a constant state of stress about school work and keeping the people around me happy. I became depressed for a long while (the depression was also in part caused by my diagnosis of diabetes that came around the same time as all this crap) which scared me. I still am not sure if I want to take another path although I'm interested in becoming a teacher (in high school/elementary school) or a lawyer. But I'm kind of terrified to tell people that i'm not so certain about becoming a doctor. I've told my mom and she was fine. She actually told me she was a bit worried about me doing that job, she said she knows I can do it academically but she didn't know that i'd ever be really happy there with all the sadness. So in other words I decided what path I wanted to take which was hard to come by but when I finally reached it i'm not quite sure that it's what I want. I still have time to decide and stuff but it's kind of scary to tell people that maybe that's NOT what I want after all. I think I really may have decided I wanted to do that because I hate to disappoint people, so to finally give in and then after to back out. Well I'm scared to say the least. Than another point that doesn't quite match up is my moving. I agreed with my mom that we could move. I made this decision but now that it's coming to going i'm slightly petrified, although I don't want to back out of my decision as I REALLY want to get out of this town with these people. But it is a rather scary decision and to pull up all my roots from my town relates to the breaking down walls and such. But this one doesn't relate as much, I have to say. Wow, that was a lovely reading. Thank you so much and I'm sorry it wore you out. I've actually never done this before and I have to say it was quite interesting. If you ever want to do another on someone other than your self feel free to ask me! Next time I make ask a question without keeping it private. I have to be honest I don't know much about the cards, could you answer any questions about it for me? I really don't know anything so if I say something bad or insulting or something I'm sorry in advance, I would never do that on purpose! So are the cards just on the individual person? Can a person ask about someone else at all? Be that alive or dead? Can 'spirits' or whatever you chose to call them 'speak' through the cards at all? If you have any questions about my statements above feel free to ask! I don't mind elaborating on anything I said, I just didn't want this to get too long. Thank you again so much!
