Her hair was whiter and she was missing more teeth than he recalled, but here she was, in the same spot she'd always been in, with the same set-up in front of her as ever before: a small earthenware mug with some coins in it, and a deck of colorful cards, all hand-drawn by her, spread before her. "This is Cress. Cress, this is Marble. She's the best fortune teller you'll ever see. She's the real deal."

past: knight of swords reversed | errors and impulsive behaviors, arguments, conflicts. a frightening and ruthless -- almost fanatical -- opponent in your life of any variety, such as emotional, physical, or spiritual.
present: the hierophant reversed | your life is full of incomprehension, disagreements, gossip, and vulnerability, as well as self confidence issues. you’re struggling with either a new life, a new relationship, or a transition that is making you feel unprotected.
hidden influences: ten of pentacles | your class status could be influencing you and your reactions to the world around you. though this can often be seen as a joy, it is a massive consequence of your upbringing.
who you are: page of swords | you are a curious but discrete young person, known for your attentive nature. you’re highly skilled in observation, agility, and communication. you’re known for your patience and cunning.
the influence of others: the moon reversed | you’re shrouded by obsessions, concerns, hallucinations, and illusions. it’s hard for you to discern what the correct path is for you because you're confused by conflicting worldviews and their lies.
what you should do: the tower | a warning of unexpected events. you may be falling in love or need to relocate. a painful and necessary overthrow of your current life is needed. it may be explosive.
the final outcome: two of wands | some crises are on the horizon involving rivalry, desire, sadness, and regrets. radical changes are coming from your hard work, and these will be positive, but beware, it comes at a cost: the departure of a loved one.
