Yes, just. You're what they call being on the cusp of Libra which means that predicitons you might have would have bits of Libra chucked in. So whilst Virgos are supposed to be the Virgin Mary crossed with Mary of Mary&Martha, there's a bit of a Libran. Librans are supposed to be just unable to make their minds up, but always confident of their opinion at that particular time. I'd imagine that a Virgin on the cusp of Libra would be someone who's constantly got a different plan of how to organise the house and always moving stuff around.

I should do this at fairs, shouldn't I? I can do RW tarot too! I used to live with people who did this stuff so, whilst I don't believe it's predictive, the orthodoxy has rubbed off.

It doesn't help with conveying my general incredulity that, as fate would have it, I am completely Geminian.

I've been fascinated recently to explore Tarot as a way of understanding oneself - not so much a crystal ball as a mirror. If the cards symbolise both everyday life and the universal human journey towards maturity and enlightenment, then seeing how one reacts to the cards that are drawn once one understands the symbolism involved is, I think, quite possibly a good way to get some insight into one's own feelings..

Yep, that's the cool thing about Tarot. All the "occult powers" you need to determine your future are inside your own mind ... which makes them even more awesome really.

I used to do I Ching readings when I was worried about which direction I was going in, and I found that helped. The main problem I find with the Tarot is that my reaction to the cards can depend so much on the designs of the cards; there isn't so much of that kind of distraction with the I Ching. Must dig out the book and remind myself how it all works. There's a nifty way of doing it with coins rather than all that palaver with yarrow stalks, too.

That's what I like so much about the Vertigo tarot cards I've got; they're very abstract and figurative so they don't impose too much on my mind, and they're also taken from a 'mythology' I relate to, so I find them a good fit to my personality :)
