My Zombie Tarot cards arrived on Wednesday and here's my first spread. Aren't they awesome? I pulled these cards for insight on the past, present and future of my love life:
Past - Kind of Hazards
In Zombie Tarot speak the King of Hazards symbolizes the following: "Steady, reliable, and slightly boring, the King of Hazards is shackled to his material possessions and proud to admit it. Go to him for advice on money and investing and he'll never steer you wrong. Although this person may be a valuable ally in a business endeavor, he can be somewhat distant in personal or family relationships. He may represent an older man looking out for your well-being." Three words to sum up this card: distant, hard work, and business.
Hummm. I haven't decided yet what this means in relation to my love life. Looking at some other information on this minor arcana, this card symbolizes completion of a task, fulfillment of a goal, acquisition of methods that lead to success, achievement of spiritual richness, valuing quality over quantity, learning to enjoy a full and joyful life, and spending money when appropriate to bring more joy. Yep, I've got most of these covered.
Present - Ten of Wands
The Ten of Wands symbolizes the following: "Why does everything have to be your responsibility? Why does the horde expect you to deliver a fresh meal every night? You're trying to juggle dozens of femurs and mandibles and clavicles, but all this work has left you exhausted and ready to quit. You've got every right to feel overwhelmed, but don't fret--the cycle is ending. A new path will reveal itself soon." Three words to sum up this card: burdens, responsibility, struggle.
Yep, I identify with this card, especially after the Egyptian called me on Saturday. WTF? After an hour long conversation, I asked (begged?) him again to let me go. After he left in March, I had my astrological birth chart done; the astrologer is also an intuitive. We talked about the Egyptain and he felt that the Egyptian would never let me go and that he would always be in my life but he didn't know in what form. Maybe I just need to accept this, because it appears the astrologer is right. Each time I've asked him to get me go, he does for a little while and then he comes back to bite me in the ass. On the flip side, fuck no. He's marrying his cousin. I do feel overwhelmed at times, and I'm exhausted. The astrologer said I'm coming upon the end of a 30 year cycle, when the sun and moon cross paths. It's like the last bloom has died and the new one hasn't come up yet. Blossoming beings on October 23, then I'll start to have direction and feel passion again, and something will be born from their crossing in fall. This new path is in the stars and in the cards. At the very least this card reminds me to not get discouraged and to keep on chugging along.
But how to relate this to my love life? Perhaps the cards are telling me to focus on my career and to be open to moving to another city, state, or country. I've sensed for years that Settle is not the final city for me. It seems like I'm supposed to keep my options open. Lucky for me I'm already in that mindset. I'm prepared to put my non-sentimental belongings on Craig's List or donate them to charity. Or burn them in a fire pit at the beach. See? I'm open. Yay for new beginnings! Maybe a new job in a different city?
I draw tarot cards periodically, mostly for entertainment value. But sometimes they remind me of something important or help me views things from a different perspective - like even though I may feel overwhelmed I know it will pass or that I can create a new new beginning by being open to opportunities and taking some action.

Future - Page of Hazards
The Page of Hazards symbolizes the following: "The Page of Hazards is too cute to resist--plus, he's giving out killer stock tips. His arrival in the spread is a clue to a new beginning; look for opportunities involving money and education. Just be sure you're not too shackled to your current career or material possessions. Leave yourself the opportunity to lurch in new directions!" I'm not, and I am. Three words to sum up this card: responsible, determination, new beginnings.
