Just for kicks I brought out my tarot deck and dredged my mind for hints about how my car maintenance issue would proceed. After a thorough shuffle, I dealt out the first two cards to identify the issue. The cards that came up: Chariot (reversed) and the 8 of Pentacles.
I laughed out loud and how bang on appropriate that was.
The Chariot card represents an archetype someone of control over something. Having it reversed might indicate that the control isn’t quite working. The 8 of Pentacles depicts a man working hard–carving symbols into the disks.
On a more superficial level, the fact that I’m asking about my car and I pulled up the Chariot card amuses me. Having it reversed kind of mimics the idea of the car still functioning but not entirely working in perfect condition–certainly parts of it are out of control. In my mind, the 8 represent the mechanic working on the broken down chariot. Heh.
After dealing out the whole spread, the whole message was that I’d feel a little bit of despair (self–5 of Cups), but the mechanic will be friendly and overall charitable toward me (others–6 of Cups). After a lot of patience he would persevere and come up with a solution after a sudden spark of energy/creativity gets him (possible outcome position had Strength, while the outcome position had the Ace of Wands).
This was all in good fun. It’s always interesting to see if a coherent story can be weaved from all of the images and archetypes displayed. It is irrelevant whether what I pieced together will really happen. I just know that I should remain positive about this whole car thing because the guy is obviously giving it his best shot on this ridiculously tough car problem. I can only hope that he’ll pull through. I kind of have faith that he will.
