After turning my room upsidedown looking for a gift certificate I got for Christmas, I thought, why not give tarot a try? I used my trusty Rider-Waite.
1) 2 of wands
2) 2 of swords
3) 7 of wands
4) The Hanged Man ®
5) 8 of Cups ®
6) 3 of Swords
7) Empress ®
Some things struck me immediately. The 8 of Cups made it appear as if I had put the certificate down and walked away for a long time: exactly what happened. This indicated to me that it had not been stolent or thrown away. It definetely wasn't in the south (most logical location = my desk). It said to me that I would be searching through papers and papers and ending up w/nothing. Empress looked promising as outcome.
2 of Swords (east),Wands (north) and 8 of Cups all seemed to show me different perspectives of the same location. 2 of Swords looked like the *opposite* side of 8 of Cups, especially because the cresent moon is reversed from 8 of Cups. The blindfolded lady didn't look promising in the least.
North was looking better, but there wasn't much in the northerly area of my room. So what about the west? My gut reaction to Hanged Man was that he was hiding something behind his back! I was more certain it was to the west because the advice was the 3 of swords, the Empress is 3 and the Hanged Man is 1+2=3. Looking at the card again, he reminded me of a ballerina and that's when I suspected my sister had it because she does ballet. The 3 of Swords and the Empress also have a heart on the card and my sister's room is full of romantic this and that. Her room was to the west and to reach it, I'd have to move north first. Furthermore, because of the way the cups are stacked in the 8 of Cups, I got the impression that the gift certificate wasn't where I left it. My sister had insisted that she had recently cleaned her room and didn't have it; I believed her because she is very neat and I'm always the forgetful one when it comes to things like this.
Well, I kept asking her about the certificate until she finally said: look, if I had the gift cert, I know exactly where I'd put it. Right here. And there it was. Granted, it was technically south of where I was, but with my desk there, you can imagine anything looking promising in the south would have led me right there.
