Requests CLOSED.

Beginning

The Hierophant, Reversed:

The Hierophant is all about the tried and true. Rules, structure, tradition, that is what is important, what is valued. Reversed as he is, he encourages the opposite.

Early in your life, you likely felt very restricted, very tied down. You may have felt bound by other people's expectations of you. Feeling suffocated in this way, you likely acted out, felt empowered to diverge from what was considered the norm.

At such a young age, this restriction, this wall of smothering tradition very likely came from a parental figure in your life. In the absence of an oppressive parental figure, an oppressive government is another likely outcome.

Middle

5 of Wands, Upright:

This card speaks of a great battle or conflict between rivals, and there is a struggle for dominance on all sides. However, this card also implies that no real harm is meant, and that this is more a show of power than a true threat.

It's likely you dealt with a lot of unnecessary conflict. It's likely you were an equal participant in this unnecessary conflict.

It's possible there was a series of semi-serious, semi-joking plays in a long game of "one-upmanship."

It's also possible there was just a lot of hot-headed debate or strife that often almost got out of hand: where neither party ever intends to hurt the other, but just show off an aspect of themselves.

This was likely a very chaotic or perhaps frustrating part of your life.

Towards the End

7 of Wands, Upright:

This card represents the ways a battle can continue even after it has seemingly been won. After securing victory and a higher position, there are still those who wish to wrench away your laurels.

You had just celebrated a great victory. But, whether you knew it or not, there were people who were upset by this, perhaps by you, who wanted nothing more than to take this victory for you.

Whether you knew it or not, these were uncertain times.

Challenges

Knight of Cups, Upright:

The Knight of Cups is very in touch with their emotions and intuition, but, moreso, know how to use those feelings as a vehicle for action, for change. They also tend to be romantic people. 💜

It's possible you had a hard time managing your emotions. You were in tune with them, certainly. But you couldn't quite grasp how to use them to your advantage. You may have found yourself often overwhelmed in them, or making impulsive decisions driven by a strong emotion.

It's also possible this card represents a person in your life, with those initial qualities. They would have generally made things difficult for you, or challenged you at every turn.

How You Faced Them

The World, Upright:

Absolute unity, perfection and accomplishment, drawing from inner and outer sources. You've found harmony in your inner and outer worlds. After completing an era of your life, and reaching a level of enlightenment, it is a time for celebration.

For a personal challenge, this card indicates you were able to strike a balance. You were able to find peace with yourself and your emotions. You were able to learn how to harness them, how to hear them and make them useful, without smothering or destroying them.

For a challenging person, this card would indicate you were able to find harmony with them. Whether they remained in your life or had found reason to leave, the era of struggle with them had most certainly ended.

You

The Devil, Upright:

Representative of all the fears, insecurities, and obsessions that hold us back from our true potential, The Devil is hardly ever a welcome sight.

It's possible you had an overly anxious personality. The littlest things would eat at you, keep you up at night, gnawing at your fingertips.

It's possible you had an addictive personality, that it was easy for you to become overly dependent on people, things, substances.

Intuition implies that it's likely you had an obsessive personality. You couldn't love or hate in parts, you let each beast consume you. Every waking thought would shake and feel and swing from one extreme to the other, and you'd agonize over the tiniest details of the object of your obsessions. Things that did not relate often fell by the wayside.

The End

5 of Cups, Reversed:

The 5 of Cups speaks of the sadness of loss, of grief. Reversed as it is, it describes the process of healing, moving on, of finding hope in the future.

It's likely you died feeling that rare sense of completion that eludes so many on their death bed. You had healed, or at least met with and understood your traumas and your pain. The future looked promising, even if you wouldn't be there to do the work, to see it. You likely found yourself feeling strangely okay with that.

Advice

4 of Pentacles, Upright:

The 4 of Pentacles speaks of a vast wealth you've accumulated, but also implies that you are likely being overprotective of it. It warns against developing a miserly attitude.

It's easy to get overprotective, especially after witnessing great conflict and hardship, but it is no good for you to focus on all the pain and possibilities of the thing leaving. You should be enjoying the thing itself. Otherwise, what use is it to you?

It's okay to let down your guard, Roxy. Relax.

3 of Pentacles, Upright:

The 3 of Pentacles depicts a vastly varying group of people with a myriad of skills joining together to work towards a greater cause. This teamwork is creating something new, and progress is swift.

You might be wary to try to reach out, to meet and work with new people. Especially after a tumultuous past with your own friends. You might be wary of the effort of making new friends.

But this card is a sign that it would be a good thing for you. You can reach out. You can throw your lot into new spaces. It may feel risky, but your thoughts will be heard, and great things will be born as a result.

3 of Cups, Reversed:

The 3 of Cups usually depicts a lively gathering of friends. Reversed as it is, it implies that you've been without a support group and thusly, the benefits that comes with one.

Whether they wouldn't let you in, or you wouldn't reach out, the people in your life lately have not been involved in and supportive of you.

It's okay to ask for help, Roxy. The world will not punish you for it.

Thank you for taking the time to read through all that with me. I know I'm quite wordy. 👾

As always, you would know your timeline better than I. These are your memories, not mine. If something doesn't feel right, it likely isn't.

If any part of this reading doesn't strike a chord with you, I'd heartily recommend looking into the meaning of the card in question yourself. Tarot cards have many meanings, and another interpretation may make more sense to you. 💜

Kind Regards,

Beginning

Ace of Swords, Reversed:

The Ace of Swords is a powerful card, usually indicative of one wielding a great power. Reversed as it is, it can imply that the power one holds is being used for less-than-admirable intentions.

With regard to an Alternian upbringing, it's possible the power you held from your caste were not being used the way )(IC intended. It's likely you were using this power a little foolishly, a little selfishly, and it ended up benefiting naught but you and your whims alone.

Middle

8 of Cups, Upright:

Looking back on a situation, you've realized it's toxic nature and have made the difficult decision to leave it behind. However, you've still abandoned something that was once very dear to you, and you feel that loss deeply.

A big theme of this card is disappointment, disillusionment. It's possible at this point in your timeline you decided to move away from your hive, and from your lusus. Possibly moving in with one of your quadrantmates, if they had been established as such at this point in your timeline.

It's also possible you had a less-than-stellar relationship with someone who lived a little closer to you, and you decided it was in your best interests to cut them off.

Whatever the case, this was a difficult time for you, and you likely leaned on the people closest to you to make it through.

Towards the End

The Empress, Upright:

The Empress is representative of all things "womanly." She embodies nurturing, fertile, or motherly concepts, and she is often associated with the planet Venus, or Mother Earth.

The end of your timeline was a time likely ruled by more homely, nurturing things. Your life was more down to earth, and more emotional moments were encouraged and discussed, rather than buried.

It's also possible during this period, your life was strongly impacted by a feminine force or individual. It's possible they had a big influence on your life during this period, be it good or bad. It's also possible this card could represent )(IC. However, intuition dictates that this card representing an individual of any caliber is not very likely.

You

King of Cups, Upright:

The King of Cups is a master of emotion. He is not empty of feeling, rather, he understands when and where they are needed, helpful, and when they do more harm than good. The King is a person of compassion, diplomacy, and generosity.

You are, at your core, someone who is deeply emotional, empathetic, and kind. You love, but you do not overwhelm with it, and your patience for others is seemingly endless. It would be a great joy for anyone to be your friend.

Karkat

Knight of Cups, Upright

The Knight of Cups is very in touch with their emotions and intuition, and are adept at channeling those things into action. They also tend to be romantics. Intuition dictates that this card represented Karkat in your spread.

He was in touch with his feelings, but, moreso, he knew how to use his own feelings to his advantage: as a vehicle for action, for change. Karkat likely brought a lot of that energy into your relationship: pushing you past waiting for change and impassioning you to seize it for yourself.

Your Relationship with Karkat

9 of Wands, Upright:

This is a card representing the last stretch of a time of battle and hard work. You've spent a long, draining time pursuing what you believe to be right, and it's taking it's toll. You are reaching point exhaustion, but there's only a small ways left to go before you achieve what you set out to do.

You were both deeply emotional people. Alternia's culture wasn't very kind to that sort. A big part of your relationship was likely bolstering each other through hard times, reminding each other what you're fighting for.

Equius

The Hierophant, Upright

The Hierophant embodies tradition. The tried-and-true. It's easy to see how this card could represent Equius.

He likely brought a lot of structure and loyalty into your relationship.

Your Relationship with Equius

The Ace of Wands, Upright:

The Ace of Wands is the first step in the act of creation. It represents passion, desire, and firey intention that often sparks new ideas. It acts as a guiding light through the world, to help make your dreams a reality.

This was a very passionate relationship. Every aspect of it was filled with vim and vigor: your togetherness, your disagreements.

Its very likely you guided each other towards your respective hopes and dreams, and well as helped each other discern what it is you truly wanted from this life.

Challenges

The Star, Upright:

The Star represents hope, faith, and rejuvenation. It calls for you to have faith in yourself, and have faith in the way the world works. Trust that everything will turn out fine.

As a major lifelong challenge of yours, it's likely you had a hard time believing things would be okay. When things were bad, you tended to beleive they would stay that way. When things were good, it's likely you couldn't enjoy it fully, often plagued with anticipation for the next 'Bad Thing.'

How you Faced them

4 of Wands, Upright:

This is a lovely card, representing a celebration of harmony, happiness, and good relationships. Usually referring to a larger group of people, this harmony ushers in a time of peace after hard work.

Taking into account the nature of this card and the position it takes in the spread, your quadrants were closely tied to your challenges and the struggle to best them.

Leaning on your friends and quadrants, you were able to regain that spark of hope that can so easily be snuffed out.

Advice

Ace of Cups, Reversed:

The Ace of Cups represents the beginnings of emotional fulfillment. It represents the joy of giving, and getting in return. Reversed as it is, it can represent wasted emotions, blocked creativity or a general feeling of emptiness.

You pour yourself into everything you do. But moderation, I think, is key here my dear.

Save some kindness for yourself, Gamzee. It will help bring you peace, and balance.

The Fool, Reversed:

The fool is representative of absolute optimism, and complete, joyous naivety. Reversed as it is, the dangers of this become apparent.

Excessive eagerness, coupled with absolute blindness to consequences and danger ahead, is a recipe for disaster. But you are not the only one who suffers if dangers befall you.

Winging it, while tempting, is not always the best option. A little structure, a little planning would do you good. 💜

Thank you for taking the time to read all of that, I know I can be quite wordy. I hope this helped to shake some memories loose for you. 👾

As always, you would know your timeline better than I. These are your memories, not mine. If something doesn't feel right, it likely isn't.

If any part of this reading doesn't strike a chord with you, I'd heartily recommend looking into the meaning of the card in question yourself. Tarot cards have many meanings, and another interpretation may make more sense to you. 💜

Kind Regards,

I've separated them by the planet they hailed from for better readability.

Beginning

The Hierophant, Upright:

For clarity's sake, this card will represent Davearaneasprite's beginning, when they were first formed. It will tell nothing about Davesprite's, Bequeral's or Aranea's timelines.

The Hierophant embodies the bounds of tradition. What is tried and true is valued: now is not the time to strike out to uncharted waters. He can also represent the pursuit of knowledge, or a spiritual guide.

When you were first formed, you were likely very good at what sprites are supposed to do: guide their players through the complexities of the game. Between Davesprite's inherent savvy-ness, Aranea's gift of gab, and Bequeral's godhood, you had the potential to be an incredibly helpful player aid.

It's likely you were created to help players solve a game-centric problem, whether through direct player interference, or through an indirect mostly-happenstance-but-also-on-purpose kind of bullshit that so often found within the confines of S'Grub and S'Burb.

It's likely you advised the players to stick by the rules of the game at all costs.

Middle

10 of Wands, Upright:

You've been working extremely hard in order to bring something to fruition. Just before reaching your goal, however, you're finding yourself overburdened with the responsibility you created for yourself.

When reaching the final stages of the plan (whatever issue you were called into existence to help resolve, whether that be a major conflict on the timeline, or many nuanced issues scattered about) you suddenly found yourself overwhelmed.

You took on too much, and the strain is beginning to show. Why weren't you delegating tasks to the other players?

Did you not trust the other players to competently do what needed done? Did it seem easier for you to just do everything yourself? Or did your players have too much faith in you, pushing too much on your plate because of your seeming omnipotence?

Regardless, things were quite difficult for you during this time.

Towards the End

4 of Cups, Upright:

The 4 of Cups describes the experience of being so wrapped up in your own thoughts, you are blind to the goodness the world is laying at your feet. Even though your intentions are noble, you run the risk of treating the world with apathy.

It's uncertain whether or not you succeeded, or even if the final stages of your plan have begun. But it's very likely that you were extremely preoccupied with the machinations of it, the planning, the worrying, all the little metaphorical moving parts.

This preoccupation caused you to withdraw, think things through again and again. You likely withdrew emotionally from those around you, finding it harder and harder to see and hear outside of the chatter in your own head.

There were likely good things happening around you, trivial-seeming silliness that brings folks together. You likely found it difficult to participate, if even you were there at all.

Challenges

2 of Swords, Upright:

The 2 of Swords represents a very difficult choice. There is no clear "right" answer, as both options are almost exactly equally beneficial and detrimental in different ways. But one thing is obvious, to progress, a clear stance needs to be taken.

The near-omnipotence that came with your particular brand of spritehood was likely both a blessing and a curse. It's very possible that having access to so much knowledge likely created very many stalemates when decisions had to be made. It's also possible you'd have to fight the game's influence if what needed to be done went outside of the game's rules.

Another possibility is that is card represents a more specific difficulty. One impossible choice you had to make that was so hard, it took precedence as the greatest challenge you had to face in your timeline.

How you Faced it

The Tower, Reversed:

The Tower represents disaster. Absolute upheaval of everything you hold dear. Reversed as it is, it speaks to a desperate avoidance of that destruction.

An incredibly painful event is on the horizon, and you are avoiding it with all your strength, at all costs. It paralyzes you to think about.

This decision you had to make, regardless of what you chose, likely paved the way for this disaster. So, in your infinite wisdom, you never let yourself make that choice, delaying a terribly inevitable end.

You

3 of Cups, Upright:

A lovely card, representative of a warm and lively gathering of friends. You're blessed with loving relationships and camaraderie, investing time in the people you love.

You are, at your core, someone who thrives in the midst of many friendships. You're a people person, (whether or not this is in a very extroverted way,) and you love getting to know new folks.

You likely craved attention from the people around you, and began to wilt (whether you realized it or not) if you went too long without it. People are your passion, your strength, and your greatest weakness.

The End

6 of Wands, Upright:

This is a lovely card that represents a very public, very loud and joyful celebration of success after a period of hard work.

It's possible you succeeded in your mission, the game was beaten and successfully won. You lived out a happy, peaceful life after the end of everything, enjoying the reward with your new friends, before a peaceful death at an old age.

However, it's also very possible when your teammates went to collect the ultimate reward, as a game construct you were not allowed to collect the reward alongside your peers. You would stay inside the game as it ended. Therefore, the success itself would have brought about your demise.

Advice

Temperance, Upright:

Temperance is all about balance, about finding it in yourself, and the world around you.

Now is the time to find balance- to reap inner peace through cultivation of that balance.

Take an honest look at yourself, at your life. Where are you spread too thin? Where are you not giving the attention that is needed?

Take a step back and breathe. Let yourself settle.

9 of Pentacles, Upright:

After much hard work, this card indicates a time of luxury and satisfaction and peace. It's implied by this card that everything gained is due to one's intelligence and self-control, and that the fruits of this labor are those that can be enjoyed over a lifetime.

Take a load off, my dear. You've already put the work in, and your satisfaction is well deserved. Now you can relax and enjoy what your hard work has grown- a time of peace for you and your loved ones.

2 of Pentacles, Upright:

This card represents the need for balance in the midst of rapid continuous change, and the sense that this sort of change has become "the norm" for you. It also implies that you've been extremely resilient and flexible with it.

The nature of spritehood is unexpected, and often comes with rapid unavoidable change. It would be good for you to remember that you have been, are, and will be incredibly talented at handling change as it comes for you.

You are well equipped to handle whatever life throws at you, darling. Keep that in mind when things seem scary. 💜

As always dear, you would know your timeline better than I. These are your memories, not mine. If something doesn't feel right, it likely isn't.

If any part of this reading doesn't strike a chord with you, I'd heartily recommend looking into the meaning of the card in question yourself. Tarot cards have many meanings, and another interpretation may make more sense to you. 💜
