This exercise asks us to interpret the cards as if the picture means within them were literal. I could have used the cards provided in the book for this but a) I wouldn’t have an example to post to the blog and b) I wanted more of a challenge!

Deck: Radiant Rider Waite

Question: What is going to happen to me tomorrow?

Cards: 3 of Swords, 3 of Pentacles, 2 of Pentacles

It is going to be a dull cloudy day with the possibility of rain and snow showers. I will read or hear something that discusses heart surgery. I will be meeting someone who deals with official documents with the likelihood of having a tear or hole in their clothing. They are likely to have a companion with religious connections. I will also meet a person with two sources of income and could have experienced a rough trip at sea. Clear skies later in the day.

What actually happened
