[Body]

Alright, let’s talk about this… this… astro-whatsit tarot thing, yeah? My old man, he used to say, “Life’s like a deck of cards, girl. You gotta play the hand you’re dealt.” Well, this here tarot thing, it’s kinda like lookin’ at all them cards at once, see?
So, they call it an astrological tarot spread. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it ain’t so complicated, not really. It’s like, you know how them city folks got them horoscopes? Aries, Taurus, Gemini, all that jazz? This here tarot spread, it uses them signs, them houses, whatever they call ’em, to tell ya stuff about your life.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. I just seen folks doin’ it, and I picked up a thing or two. This spread, they say it gives ya a real good look at things. Not just what’s happenin’ now, but what might be comin’ down the road, too. Like lookin’ at the clouds before a storm, ya know? You can kinda guess what’s coming.
First thing ya gotta do, ya gotta shuffle them cards. Mix ‘em up good, like you’re makin’ dough for biscuits. Gotta get all that energy movin’ around. Then ya lay ‘em out in a circle, see? Twelve cards, one for each of them… zodiac houses, I think they call ‘em.
- Start at the 9 o’clock spot. That’s like the beginnin’, they say.
- Then ya go around, counter-clockwise, like how the clock goes backwards when the power’s out.
- Each card, it tells ya somethin’ different about a different part of your life.
The first card, well, that’s all about you. Your personality, how you show yourself to the world. It’s like lookin’ in the mirror, but with cards, you get me? The second card, that’s about your money, your stuff. Whether you gonna be rich or poor, I guess. Not that money ever made anyone happy, let me tell ya.
Then ya got the third card, that’s about how you talk, how you think, how you get along with your neighbors and such. Are you a gossip or a good listener? That card will tell ya. The fourth card, that’s your home, your family. The roots, you know, like a strong oak tree.
The fifth card, well, that’s the fun one. That’s about love, and kids, and all that romantic stuff. Whether you gonna find a good man or woman, and whether them kids gonna be a blessin’ or a pain in the neck. The sixth card, that’s about your work, your health. Are you gonna be strong as an ox or sickly as a kitten? Gotta take care of yourself, no matter what the cards say.
The seventh card, that’s about other folks, your partners, your enemies. Who’s with ya and who’s against ya. Life’s like that, ain’t it? Full of friends and foes. The eighth card, that’s about secrets, hidden things. Stuff you don’t even know about yourself, maybe. Like that time I found that extra slice of pie hidden in the back of the icebox.
The ninth card, that’s about travel, learnin’, big ideas. Are you gonna stay put or see the world? Are you gonna be wise or just plain stubborn? The tenth card, that’s about your career, your reputation. What folks think of ya, what you gonna leave behind when you’re gone.
The eleventh card, that’s about hopes and wishes, your friends, the folks you hang out with. Are they good for you or are they draggin’ you down? Gotta choose your friends wisely, like you choose your apples at the market. And finally, the twelfth card, that’s about hidden enemies, your fears, the stuff that keeps ya up at night. Everybody’s got somethin’ they’re afraid of, ain’t they?

Now, this zodiac tarot spread, it ain’t magic, mind you. It’s just a way to look at things a little different, to get some ideas about what’s goin’ on in your life. Like lookin’ at a map before ya go on a trip. It don’t tell ya everything, but it gives ya a direction. It helps you understand things a little better.
So, if you’re feelin’ lost or confused, maybe give this astrological tarot thing a try. It might not give ya all the answers, but it might just point ya in the right direction. And remember, even if the cards look bad, there’s always somethin’ you can do to change your luck. Life’s like that, ya know? You gotta keep on keepin’ on, no matter what.
