QUOVADIS 04 :: Old friends and new

[guren_no_honoo]

Ah, I haven't written much again. I guess I'm just kinda forgetful about writing even if I'm reading it all the time. Lots of things happened though!

The holidays were really great because my Papa came to visit! (^___________^)♥ And even though Yuui couldn't come, we got to talk to him on the phone and wish him a happy new year and all that. I even said a prayer for him at the shrine when we went. Fay-nii-chan was really excited to be able to go to a shrine for the new year too. It was a lot of fun.

I also got to hang out with Yamamoto, which was really really fun! We played videogames. I'm kind of sad I can't talk about what I learned and played with Yoshimori though. I kind of wish I had gotten his home address before he had to leave so I could have written him...

Um, I'll ask again, but does anyone want to have their fortune told? I still need to find Chii and do it for her, but if anyone else wants to, I'd love to do that! I promise I'll do my best! dfsdl;;;;;;;;;;;sssss

*Hibari just... stared. It'd be a minute before he snapped out of it and looked up at Ashura. The kid would probably be able to tell by his startled expression that he was pretty much dead on.*

I... see. I understand.

*Ashura was pleased to see that apparently so far, he'd been accurate in his reading and pressed on, facing the card at the top of the cross this time. His brow furrowed a little, considering the upside down Strength () card before speaking.*

This is the Strength card reversed and this place represents future influences. So, it means a loss of control. *He frowned and tried rephrasing it better* Or rather, you'll need to let go to move forward. Particularly of those past influences.

*His eyes darted up again as this seemed to directly relate to the young man's inquiry as to whether he should pursue the person he likes now or move on to a new path. He flipped the final card of the cross portion of the spread, the one to the right to reveal the reversed Nine of Wands (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Tarot_Nine_of_Wands.jpg)* This also relates to a future influence. This is like a warning to stop fighting so hard. Or else you may have a hard time doing what you are good at - taking care of yourself and making things happen.

It's like saying you should to recollect yourself and calm down before you can move forward.

*The boy paused, hoping that wasn't offensive. Hibari didn't seem a particularly angry person right now, but he did seem to write about fights an awful lot...*

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

...you've got to be kidding me.

*This was getting far too freaky. Everything Ashura was saying, everything was true, too true. He glanced around and shifted awkwardly, not even sure how to react to it.*

So. Okay. I understand that.

*Now he was apprehensive about about the rest of the reading. Ashura wasn't even done yet and already it was.. kind of scary.*

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

*Ashura was very attuned to his reading so for now didn't see Hibari's apprehension as he went to flip the bottom card of the row of four. The boy stared at it a long time and then tilted his head and lifted his gaze to Hibari*

This one is a little harder for me to interpret, but I'll see if it makes sense to you. Usually a card like this one - *And he stopped to tap the King of Pentacles (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1c/Pents14.jpg)* - represents a person in your life who may have influence in this realm. But since I don't know the people you know very well at all, I'll just describe the characteristics. The King of Pentacles here shows someone friendly and generous and is someone you can rely on. They work industriously. These symbols on the card - *The boy points to various features on the card* - represent power and prosperity and the image of Taurus the bull is prominent. Taurus signs are hard-working and reliable usually. It could be anyone from a father-figure with a kind disposition or a successful businessman or a reliable man with his family's security always at heart.

Do you know anyone on whom you can rely and consider steady and friendly with you? Who may always have friend's and family's concerns and securities in mind?

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

Friendly and generous...

*Quietly, pulling out two sets of keys from his pocket. The villa keys.. his apartment keys... friendly gestures. Wanting to help him. It was generous of Dino to do that, he had his family and friends best interests in mind at all time while managing to be a very successful businessman. He always seemed like he was looking out for him, too. Dino was, overall, a very steady figure in his life.*

I do... he. Actually just arrived here the other day.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Ah, really? That's great! *Ashura looked excited to hear that and though he was curious about the keys that Hibari had pulled out, he didn't want to lose his momentum or concentration either, so eagerly moved to the next card*

Oh! *And now he looked up at Hibari with a bright smile* The Empress (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d2/RWS_Tarot_03_Empress.jpg) here means that the people around you, your friends and family, they are wishing for your happiness.

*He moved to the next and then looked confused and had to ponder again for a few moments in silence.*

Huh. This position is usually about positive energy toward your goal or question, like what you would need to reach it, but here we have the High Priestess (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/88/RWS_Tarot_02_High_Priestess.jpg), but she's upside down. Usually this card would mean a pure truth, but like this it can mean there may be more than meets the eye going on or that you may need to see through a deception or inaccurate information in order to move forward. It could also mean there is a delay in the truth you need as well. I guess in this position it may also serve as more of a warning than as something you must overcome too.

*There was only one card left face down on the table...*

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

A warning? Of what? I don't understand.

Does it mean if I don't sort through my problems fast things will just go downhill?

*That part perplexed him a bit. He had a vague idea of what it could mean, but.. nothing very solid. He'd have to think on it for a while after the reading was over. Looked like there was one card left! He waited almost anxiously for Ashura to turn over the last card.*

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Mm... Well I guess a warning of inaccurate information in general. Oh, or maybe of assumptions? Or if anyone is lying to you, but I don't think so given the rest of the reading... I'm not sure. I think you'll have to sort through that one, but I don't think it means any rush. After all, the other cards have indicated that you need to collect yourself and let go before moving forward.

*The boy sighed, wishing he could better answer or explain that one, but simply gathered his focus again and turned the last card over to show a reversed Five of Pentacles (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/96/Pents05.jpg) and he smiled again, looking relieved*

This card is the outcome position. *He met Hibari's gaze* This one means a reversal of bad luck and that you will regain control and courage. It's really good luck here. *The smile he continued to give him was soft and warm, he was happy for him*

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

So.

Basically I just need to get over myself and things will get a lot better...

*He gave a wry smile, looking at the set of keys in his hand.* ..I've been very selfish lately. It's taken a toll on my friendships. Overall it's been painful, not just for myself.

..thank you. For doing this.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

*Ashura took one more look over the spread and then looked back to Hibari* You're very welcome, but I should be thanking you. I... I really enjoyed this and I'm glad if it helped any.

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

It looks like I have a lot of thinking to do..

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Mm, I wish you a lot of happiness in love and everything else, okay?

And if you ever want another reading for anything, please feel free to ask, I'd be happy to!

*The boy is feeling much better than before when he was just stewing with his own thoughts as well*

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

I will.

*He paused.. then pulled his phone out and slid it across the table.*

Your phone number. So I can ask for future readings. It's easier to text, right?

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

E-Eh? *Takes the phone and puts in his number, unable to stop smiling now, and hands it back to Hibari* I don't mind texts or calls!

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

Okay. We can have lunch.. or something. Sometime.

That sounds good.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Mm! I'd really like that.
