Pip Card & Courts: A Freestyle Reading
All part of the Rune Soup PM course on Tarot. We are giving up our beloved Major arcana cards to 'fortune-tell' like the devil with the pip cards and court cards only. The cards are read simply with no set meanings or placements, just creating the narrative with what can be seen.
OK - this isn't quite freestyle as there are suit and number associations but these are staying close to the associations with the suits rather than the usual element.
First question:
DOES MY NEWLY-PROMOTED BOSS THINK HIGHLY OF ME OR IS SHE JUST PRETENDING?
First thing that strikes me is the absence of 'people' cards, or court cards. I think what we have in their place is symbolic representations of people. What this means is that this reading is about the qualities that each person has and how they interact.
Reading from left to right the 2 of Cups We have the partnership in focus here. The two protagonists, the querent and his/her boss are on either side of an ornamental candelabra with two fish-like flowers. Both stick out their tongues and one has eyes open the other closed. The reading is highlighting the nature of the relationship. It's like the constantly bickering couple who are absolutely tied together.
Swords are a clash or conflictual suit but a 'four' is indicative of stability, a tension which ultimately is creative indicated by the 'birthing' of the third cup in the last card.
I see nothing here to indicate pretence rather a creative relationship that relies on a tension between the protagonists to produce a result.
