Interpreting Tarot -- Reading the Book of Life

I stumbled across your site by accident about a year ago and admit to being a skeptic. Over the last year or so I have been stunned by the accuracy of your tarot predictions each week. This Sunday's prediction was for the end to financial hardship. On Monday I received an offer of employment which arrived after over a year of unemployment due to illness. Not only was it a job for which I am well qualified, but also a 40% pay increase over what I was earning before I became unwell, and working in an industry I had never before considered. This not the first time you have been correct -- you've predicted major arguments, frustrations, and unexpected travel. I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't more to tarot than meets the eye!

It's interesting to see how things unfold and look at the readings with the benefit of hindsight, isn't it? (You really were right on the money, as I look back.)

Back in 1981, I made the mistake of getting a perm. In Italy.
I'd been traveling around Asia for nine months, and felt like I could use a bit of a boost before spending a few months in Europe. Thanks to a few uninteresting illnesses, my hair was thin and I had sprouted numerous grays. I opted for a perm--it was the 80s, after all.
It seemed surprisingly painful, this perm process. I tried to explain this to my stylist, but she patted my back soothingly, and said it was normal. "Pain for beauty," she said with a wink.
As I sat under the heat lamps, I could feel my scalp burning. It was, in fact, blistering. It bled for days.
You would think I would have sworn off hair processes altogether after that, but no. The next two decades carried me through every style and color imaginable. I was the hair chameleon. I was absolutely fearless.
In fact, the first time I shaved my head, I asked a couple of local skateboarders (we owned a skateboard shop at the time) to help, and they happily whipped out their mother's haircutting kit and proceeded to give me an eighth-inch buzz cut.
I loved it.
The next time I had it shaved, I was sitting back-to-back with my husband in a tiny barber shop in Pokhara, Nepal. It's one of our family's fondest memories.
Now that my family is in the process of shedding virtually all of our possessions (except for a few treasures packed in our five foot by five foot storage unit), it seems like a good time to explore shedding my current hair as well.
To be honest, I went into the salon with the idea that I would have the fake color stripped from my hair and let it go gray.
No, no, no!" the stylist protested. "It will make you look old!
But it's my natural color. I want it, even if it's gray.
"You might THINK you want it gray, but I assure you, you would not like it," she insisted. The other stylist agreed, nodding sagely.
We negotiated. We discussed various color options for gradually allowing it to grow out gray. Finally, I opted for the most natural solution--just hack it off and start fresh.
So, I released my attachment to hair color and hair length in one fell swoop. Or several snips.
I love it.
As I watched the copper-colored tresses drop onto the floor all around me, I considered all that I had been through with my hair. I remembered the long and short, the platinum, scarlet and mahogany. I recalled the good, the bad and the ugly.
And I smiled at the idea of letting it just be--hair.
I live in a place and a culture in which hair is golden--and I mean that literally. At every parent gathering, the carefully highlighted halos of the moms around me is striking. These women take their hair seriously.
I've decided not to do that anymore, despite the protestations of others--including my mother, who just last week insisted that she herself will never, ever allow her hair to go gray.
It doesn't make me feel better or smarter to make this decision. There's no sense of success, failure, or smugness involved. I'm simply looking at it as an opportunity to be mindful of hair.
Instead of hassling with my own, I'm shifting my attention to the hair of others. I'll marvel at the colors, styles and accessories modeled by those around me. I'll pop out of the shower without a second thought about my own hair, but notice the way the sun brings out the tones and textures of the hair of my children, my husband, and total strangers.
It will be like a hair parade all day long, and I can relax and sit back and just enjoy the show.
Gray roots and all.
