Well like Icciotto I have tarot cards and after seeing her thread here I decided I'd like to offer FREE readings as well. I've never tried to read cards over the internet so this will be a new experience. I completely understand if this is something people do not like and will not be offend. I do my readings different than Icciotto does so if you've already gotten a reading from her keep that in mind . You can ask a specific question or keep the question to yourself. I will do a basic 3 card spread unless you ask for something specific, I've got enough books I can probably find a spread for nearly anything. I will tell you what the cards mean then what I make from the reading but it's entirely possible you can make something else out of it. I'll take pictures of the cards laid out and put it up as well. If you have any questions feel free to ask I promise I don't bite and if you want a reading just let me know.

I'd love to get a reading please! Can I just get a general one rather than a specific question? If not i'll think of a specific question to ask. Thank you!

Four of Pentacles From the Book: "You just have to look at the figure in the image to understand its meaning-this is one "mean" individual in the tarot pack. The four of pentacles represents, on one level, the world of materialism at its worst. We can all get possessive about what we own. We control our purse strings, can't bear to give away that old CD we never listen to anymore, we control others very subtly through our egos' need to possess and thereby maintain control. We relate to others by defining our terrritory, saying "this is mine, not yours." The four of pentacles in the "you now" position can suggest that your powerlessness is provoking you to try to control a situation. You believe that your way is the only way over issues concerning money and possessions; or you have a fierce determination to take control of others. Yet there is also a positive side to the four of pentacles. If you are involved in an uncontrollable situation, if a relationship is getting confused or fizzling out, or you are financially strapped, then structure, organization and realistic planning is important now. As a "blockage" card, someone else might be mean and miserly in your life(but don't forget this could also be a reflection of you); they may be stopping you from making the changes you need to progress. They might control you through possessiveness or manipulate you through financial necessity. As an "outcome" card you must look carefully at control issues in your relationships and learn to accept that possessiveness is rooted in fear of change and emotional insecurity. Key words: Mean, possessive, control freak, stubborn, stagnant Key Phrases: Refusing to Budge, Believing your way is the only way, Limiting your viewpoint, Controlling others with materialism, It's Mine!, Resisting change, Tight-fisted and mercenary, Small-minded, penny-pinching"
What I interpret: At some point in your past you have felt powerless in someway. Possibly something like losing a job and struggling to pay bills, an accident happening such as a car crash or fire even, or even a relationship in which you felt that things were out of your control.
Four of Swords From the Book: The four of swords has two distinct interpretations when in the "you now" position: first, that our own past prevents us from moving on. We feel stuck, paralyzed by our fears and self-doubt generated by failures, pains, disappointments or betrayals of the past. It is important to look at these fears in the cold light of day and they will soon disappear. The second interpretation is that confrontation with others is not appropriate right now. Instead of rushing in to make a decision or forcing an issue, stand back, retreat, find time to think things through or contemplate the true nature of our current situation. Is it as important as you think it is? Are you exaggerating your desires, or assuming too much? as soon as you have achieved clarity within yourself, you can then focus on the issue at stake. If you have a relationship question, this card implies that a break away from each other or more space will allow you to see your relationship from a more objective perspective. The four of swords also indicates that it is time to be more conscious about any unspoken agreements in your relationship. We often have hidden agendas in our relationships and deny that we have unresolved problems or feelings. Sometimes we have to speak up or our lives become a frozen wasteland. Take care if you get this card in the "blockage" position that this isn't the case. Constructive communication may be need right now. As a future card, you will need to take a step back, have a break or find some peace and quiet to prepare yourself for new events or experience. Key Words: Repose, temporary retreat, contemplation, truce, inner fears, emotional ghosts from the past. Key Phrases: Making time for yourself to be alone, finding your own space, relaxing and taking it easy, standing back and reviewing the situation, preparing for the future, taking stock of your objectives, slowing down."
What I interpret: You have something bothering you, something that you feel is a major thing most likely influenced by your past. But you shouldn't tackle this problem right away. Take a moment and think about it first. Make sure it is a big of an issue as you feel it is at that moment. Take time to decided the best coarse of action before doing.
Queen of Cups From the Book: "The queen of cups indicates that emotional understanding has high priority in your life right now or will have in the near future. But you have the resources necessary to understand how other feel, empathize with any difficult situation, give your support and love generously and unconditionally. In the "you now" position, you are so full of compassion that you will draw like-minded souls to you, or those who seek your good nature and respect. Alternatively, the queen of cups can represent someone, either man or woman, who is in your life and can help you to work positively with your feelings. They are waiting for you to open up. As a "blockage" card, the queen of cups asks you to consider whether you are too emotionally involved with someone to see the truth. Or that you are so willing to commit yourself to helping or loving someone that you are repressing your own emotional needs. As a future card, you will soon have to let go of any resentments or anger and be more compassionate with yourself and others. Someone who represents all the queen's tenderhearted qualities could also be an important signpost in the next step of your personal journey. Don't dismiss those qualities; they lead to greater self-awareness and tolerance of others. Key Words: Empathy, tenderhearted, emotionally aware, compassionate Key Phrases: Unconditional love, kindness and understanding, emotional harmony, know what it feels like to feel, aware of emotional undercurrents, patient and calm, willing to help the underdog."
What I interpret: In the future you will be more aware of yourself and/or others emotionally. You will either be sharing your emotions and thoughts with someone or accepting them yourself.
Bringing it all together What I get from this is that in the past something happened that caused you to feel powerless in someway. That is currently affecting you now, maybe in a relationship of some kind. This is causing you stress and making you want to take immediate action against what is making you uncomfortable. But what you need to do is take a step back and evaluate the situation. Consider how much you are judging the current situation by the past and if they are really the same. Once you have decided on a coarse of action you may open up to someone, maybe even just yourself, and come to a better understanding of your emotions.

Nine of Pentacles From the Book: "The nine of pentacles signifies that a mission has been accomplished. You are ready to enjoy yourself, indulge in your success and know that your way is the right way. As a result of your recent efforts in work or in your love life you have a greater sense of self-reliance and independence. This graceful pentacles lady feels secure in herself, she has a hooded falcon on her hand, representing our ability to control our feelings and demonstrate that we are not ruled by our unconscious doubts and fears. Falcons can be trained to hunt, to fly away, but always come back to their perch. Likewise, you are free to do as you please as long as you are down-to-earth and take responsibility for your actions. This card also indicates that your most important duty right now is to yourself. Questions that need to be raised when you draw this care are: How free are you? Do you welcome independence? Have you acknowledged your accomplishments? Do you fear being self-reliant or believe you have nothing to show for your efforts? If the nine of pentacles is in a "blockage" position, you may be literally so confident, self-assured and blasé that you are unable to let anyone get close to you. Or you believe you have now done everything you have intended, so what is there left to achieve? This card can also represent sexual satisfaction, the indulgence of all the senses and a time for enjoyment in your intimate relationships. Key words: Accomplishment, refinement, independence, self-reliance Key Phrases: Being resourceful, knowing you are in control of the situation, financial or material security, enjoying the finer pleasures of life, and inner sense of security, acting on your own, self-discipline."
What I Interpret: You lacked independence or a sense of self worth. You were able to accomplish many things but didn't realize how amazing they were. JusticeFrom the Book: "What is fair to one person may not be so to another, but when you draw this card you are being reminded to take a very rational view of the situation or issue at stake. How involved are you emotionally? Can you see the wood for the trees or do you believe that someone else is being unfair or judgmental? Justice asks us to look logically and objectively at ourselves, to find the whole truth and nothing but the truth, even if it means recognizing that we have made mistakes and thus must make amends accordingly. What it also says is that you ought not to be judgmental about your actions or intentions or those of others.You may find this card turning up when a decision is to be made, and, if it is in the "you now" position, you will be able to do so with a more rational viewpoint than you thought. As a "past" card, it implies you have got what you deserve, you have accepted that the situation is now as it is because of what you said, did or didn't do in the past, and now things are set to improve. Whatever the results of a series of events, things will now begin to work out for you if you are truly honest and take responsibility for your choices. Legal issues, settlements, debts paid, lawyers and other official systems are often signified by this card in a "future" position and will have a successful outcome. If you are seeking a new romance, drawing this card indicates that you'll get what you truly deserve, or a charming, diplomatic admirer will soon come into your life. Key words: Fairness, harmony, equality, cause and effect Key Phrases: Objective thinking restores balance, Interaction and communication are essential, accepting the truth, taking responsibility for your choices, making decisions, looking at both sides of the argument, sexual equality.'
What I interpret: You are currently in a situation or point in your life that requires you to think logically and balance pros and cons, rights and wrongs.
The Wheel of FortuneFrom the Book: The Wheel of Fortune is about luck and chance, but we can have good fortune and bad fortune- it is up to you to make choices that will lead to improving your sense of well-being or lifestyle. When you draw this card, the wheel signifies that, even though you are part of the greater cycle or universal or collective energies, destiny is about taking responsibility for your actions rather than blaming those actions on "fate."If the wheel of fortune is a "blockage" card, you might feel that your life is "fated" and have no control over your feelings, experiences, love life or vocation. But it is that very lack of taking responsibility for who you are that is causing the problem. The wheel says: "Don't feel the world is against you, join in the cosmic dance and be part of the show, be your own choreographer." When in the "you now" position, the wheel of fortune signifies that you are ready to start afresh, turn over a new leaf or get ready for a great adventure. Whatever is happening, a new phase in your life is now beginning whether you want it to or not. Don't fear change, instead embrace it and take action for future happiness. The wheel can signify infatuation or a new romance, escaping from a difficult relationship or improving an existing one. It is time to jump on the bandwagon and take the chances that are coming your way. Unexpected events will give you the motivation to change your life for the better. Key Words: Inevitability, luck, timing, turning point, destiny Key Phrases: There is no certainty in life except uncertainty, each moment is a new beginning, the only constancy is change itself, synchronicity and coincidence, seeing patterns and cycles repeating in life, feeling you are being swept along with the tide, taking advantage of chance, opportunity knocks open the door, unpredictable events
What I Interpret: Within your foreseeable future something major is going to happen and change, whether that change is good or bad will depend on choices you make and how you react to that change.
Bringing it all together In your past you lacked self confidence or self worth but you are now learning that you have self worth. You are starting to judge yourself, and other possibly, fairly. You no longer lack the self worth you did in your past. Depending on how you use this new ability will affect your future. It will bring about a change in your life. I'm going to say it could be a change in your romantic life since while none of these cards directly relate to love life they all three have brief mentions of it.
I've never done any readings where I'm not in the presence of who ever I'm doing the reading for. I'd love to hear if these came out completely off with no idea about what they are relating to or if they have some meaning to you guys(even if you don't want to share the meaning).
Also if there are any question please feel free to ask me ^^

Huh, well as of now I have to say I can't really connect the meaning lol. I'm not in a relationship at the moment, perhaps it has something to do with friends or family. I could kind of see where it connects there but perhaps the meaning will come more clear as time go on. I'll keep this in mind for sure! Thank you so much for doing this.

Not a problem. Often with Tarot cards unless it specifically says romantic relationship the relationships can go to anything. From work relationships to friends to family. For example The Lovers,just the name screams romantic relationship but really the card is about finding someone who you can connect with somehow whether intellectually, romantically, or other wise. If that helps at all.

Yah, that makes a bit more sense then. It's probably just about how I've been having some conflicting interests with family and friends lately. It's been pressure, I felt like I had no choice. I felt like I had to do a certain thing right away but maybe I'll wait a bit more and continue to think on it for a bit. There are other things I can do, so maybe i'll just keep thinking and stop stressing a bit haha. Thank you for this reading!

Wow, nice reading, Shade. I can completely relate to this...not in a romantic relationship, albeit, definitely in a relationship with others though. Thank you so much for doing this, you did a really good job. I like how you included the book meanings as well as your own, very nice.
