She starts laying down a card. \u201cInteresting. This is your present position. You are having an inner struggle. You are stuck in a rut and you can\u2019t see past your own troubles.\u201d She reaches out and covers my hand with hers. \u201cI know it seems like things are building up against you, but the reality is, you are building that mess. You need to learn not to bury yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She covers that card by laying another over it. \u201cThis is your immediate influence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is that?\u201d I point at the card. It doesn\u2019t look good. It\u2019s dark and twisted with a monster on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe devil.\u201d Lucy explains. She shakes her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lexa reaches out this time and puts her hand on my knee. \u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fortune teller shakes her head and sighs. \u201cIn this case, I\u2019m afraid it\u2019s not a good thing. This card means that you are living in a world of fear, domination and bondage. It reiterates the present position. I know you lust for retribution, but your fears are just that, they are feelings and not facts. You\u2019ve become blind to facts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My reading continued like that. It wasn\u2019t a lot of good. When she lays down the tenth card it is covered in cups. \u201cWhat is that one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is the eight of cups, reversed. It means you will stagnate and abandon relationships.\u201d Lucy looked at me sadly. \u201cBut you are already doing that, aren\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel sick to my stomach. Nowhere in this reading was there a tall, sexy stranger who was going to love me and sweep me off my feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
