Fate?

Today my rune reading says:

"Intense forces of change that work behind the scenes are acting on the individual at this time. While these forces may be seen as positive or negative, the appearance of Perthro most commonly suggests positive forces -- unless of course it appears in a spread with a host of negative runes.

It should be noted that while we frequently view change as either "good" or "bad" -- Perthro reminds us that such black-and-white interpretation may represent an oversimplification of fate. The change referenced by Perthro carries with it an infinite amount of complexity and subtlety. To attempt to categorize change in simplistic terms of "positive" or "negative", is to attempt to understand fate itself: something no mortal can do. When analyzing the meaning of Perthro, one should take care to remember that fate exists at a level that we can never truly know until such time that it is upon us. What seems true may prove false, and vice versa. Only fate can tell."

Enlightened

I Ching, you're so spot on today! Thanks for enlightening me!

Whenever I need a hand...

Whenever I feel I needed guidance, I would do a Tarot reading (a real one, I have my own cards)... But these days, with the advanced technology, I tend to opt for the easy way out, an online reading. There's a bookmark on my right hand column if you want to give it a go. Normally I would do either a Tarot or I-Ching or Runes reading, depending on the kind of question I like to ask. Runes is good for a direct question, try the 1 rune reading (though you'll have to interpret the answer yourself). I-Ching is my favourite checking out the present and future outcome prediction. Tarot is catered for more complex and all rounded types of questions, usually it would link up the past to your present situation. It can also be hard to interpret unless you have done quite a few reading yourself.

Let's ask the tarots

How do I meet The One?
Judgement In a lecture or class, at a bookshop, in a waiting room, at a graduation, over the internet or in an interview.

What will they like about me?
Strength Your sweetness, your inner strength, your charm, your determination, your ability to get what you want.

So far, it's pretty accurate :))

Ancient tarot

It says I picked the card - The Hermit.

Present
This card shows that you are at a turning point in life that requires a careful decision. The Hermit symbolizes inner wisdom and truth. It also represents the exchanging of wise counsel, openness to others, and the need for patience and reflection when coming to conclusions. Because you've already learned many of life's lessons, you have the ability to turn inward in your search for an answer.

Leave-home-syndrome

I'm searching deep inside me... for that anxiety about leaving, the hang up about the preparation, fear about the upcoming new phase of life and my usual worrying tendency. But it wasn't there. I should be having cold feet when I've made a step nearer to the day I'm setting off. But no. Ironically, I'm numbed.

I've finally gotten over that frightening procedure - taking passport photos. 95% of the ones in my past made me look like some drug addicts (messy hair and unfocused), or well they do suck the very least. Ok, that 5% belongs to those when I was ten - look how bad can that be! This afternoon, I found the courage to overcome my procrastination - to shoot the photos which I'll need for my visa application. *fingers crossed* Surprisingly, it went off pretty well (at least I'm happier than the previous).

I saw the machine again that claims to read fortune from your palm. I gave that a try long time ago. This very day, I decided to throw in my one-dollar coin and let it tells me my fate again.

You're full of vitality & ppl admire you for your love of life
You can overcome minor illnesses unaided
You don't allow yourself to be swayed by circumstances
You're sometimes over idealistic & you should learn to be more cautious to avoid disappointment
The disappointments in your love life have left deep marks on you
You tend to dissipate your energy & lose the concentration you need to think effectively.
