 Card 1 - Past
Most of the information about suits and each of them having a face card was nothing new to Eliza, since she'd played with muggle cards before, but there being 78 of these tarot cards did complicate things a bit. She took down notes about certain areas that interested her. Specifically the idea that each of the suits could be related to a Hogwarts house. Once the professor went on to explain how they could each be linked to an element too, it made more and more sense that the houses would apply as well. Then when she mentioned the zodiac signs, in accordance with their own element relation, she discovered that her sign was under the Cups suit, aka Slytherin. Well that's weird, but i guess everything can't always match up. Being a Pisces and all, she really was sure she was a good match for a water sign. I guess I do flow with the situation usually...but in tangible applications, I much prefer Earth, or Wind. Both together actually. Well and water too. The beach sounds lovely right now, she thought as her mind drifted.
Oh, but back to the reading. I guess this is all sort of personal so maybe I'll just do my own for now. Unless someone really needs a partner, then they can grab me. Either way! she thought as she spread her cards again. There I go, acting like a water sign again. Flexible 'ol self.
She reached for the cards and plucked one at random and flipped it over. Five of Pentacles. Okay... She flipped through her book to find the explanation. So this is my Past card and it says...there's a poor couple that needs help, but won't ask for it. It's about loss and poverty and bad luck... And it also has to do with society and what it approves of. Being outside of the church, the couple chose to do what they thought was right no matter what society said. Disapproval...hard times...struggle... But they still had each other. She paused to think about all of that and how it might apply to her past. It didn't take her long at all. Well, that could be about my parents of course. Mom is from America, Dad from England and Merlin knows neither of their parents were too thrilled about it. Especially Dad's. But then again Mom's didn't want them to live in England, so far away... Yeah, this definitely, er I mean, if this is real at all, is about my parents and their struggle to stay together despite the social expectations. Mhm. She set the card down and went to choose another.
