The Tarot requires your direct participation, so I invite you to design and cut 22 little boards in cardboard and write on each of them the numbers 1 to 22. Once your 22 "cards" are ready, place them in a big bowl. Then while you keep your eyes shut and concentrate deeply on your question, choose one and reopen your eyes to discover the number. Your question must be positively oriented to ensure that the cards have understood what you mean. Example: "will I meet someone tonight?" instead of "will I come home alone once again?". I also strongly recommend that you not seek an answer for the same question more than once a week. The cards may become erratic if put under strain, and will tend to reflect on your lack of inner security.

Interpretations:
Although interpretations can expose a wide range of answers, mine will focus on the basic meanings at first. A one card reading gives the outcome for the following two weeks. Unless you have some knowledge or are experimenting, I cannot advise you to choose a second card, nor a third for more investigation because of the cards' interaction between each other. For this, you should take classes or private lessons: check out my website located at www.shamanta.com for further info.

1. The Magican: Looks like you're dealing with someone who is playful and highly seductive. Beware of erotic naivete that could turn your mind and sexual quest upside down. Bodily attraction is strong and boundries won't be set up very easily.

2. The High Priestess: Lasting frustrations and a need to express your wildest fantasies: but chances are great that they won't be satisfied at this time. This card is more positive for long-term relationships but kind of icy for new ones. Hard work will be required at first.

3. The Empress If you're single and looking for someone, this card may announce a connection. The problem is that you may face several opportunities and the choice will not be easy. If involved in a steady relationship, sexual stamina won't disappoint you. This is the moment to enjoy - take and give as much as you can- now!

4. The Emperor: Lesbians beware: you may be trapped with a lover having a strong Oedipus complex for whom therapy might be necessary. Heterosexuals: in your steady affair, you might find yourself involved with a dominant sex toy. This card always symbolizes the Phallus, absolute virility, and therefore is more positive for the submissive gay boys into leather and latex.

5. The Pope: Looks like a life together is taking shape. Romance has taken over kinky sex and you are heading to a more conventional place; which is fun too, but hey, don't get stuck. You could get bored and your sexual appetite may need to be reactivated.

6. The Lover: You're facing the choice between two partners or being on your own. You could be the one from whom favors are expected, but you just can't give of yourself as he or she would want. Perhaps there is a break up in the air.... suffering is there but action is amiss.

7. The Chariot: Wild instincts and passions are driving you almost crazy because you cannot be assured that it will last. You never had sex like this before, and this makes you anxious. You could enter a sexually active cycle. If you can't take it for what it is - pure mad unbridled sex - get out of the game a.s.a.p!

8. Justice: Partnership in the air for singles: looks like you've really scored. Congrats! For couples, there could be a spicy discussion needed in order to succeed; just don't lack diplomacy. In all cases, includeing the sexual, reason rules!

9. The Hermit: Sorry singles, this time again, you will have to play with your sex toys alone. If you've met someone, this person turns out to be dissappointingly selfish. He or she won't change overnight. You are warned!

10. The Wheel Of Fortune: The future holds what you desire . A break up or reconciliation. This card foretells rebirth for singles. Don't ever dismiss a blind date when this card shows up. You may meet a lover who's sexual prowess will make you forget a bad love affair.

11. Strength; Lust and passion; get stright to the point and you will reach ultimate fulfillment with deep feelings involved. Plan all the fantasies that come to mind as success is on your side. If you're single, go out: odds are great for the next two weeks.

12. The Hanged Man: A troubled period; reconsidering one's sexual orientation. It is often latent bisexuality making you stagnate. Or perhaps are you curious about pushing the envelope. However, this is not the right period for action but for introspection. Worst case, you're going through a serious sexual depression.

13. Death: From a strictly sexual POV, this might be the sign that you're willing to let yourself go but you must deal with the right partner. Also, it is a period of sexual stress. If there are signs of a break up, you must be prepared for the worst.

14. Temperance: The relationship stagnates a little and you become impatient and doubtful. Do not try to hurry things or you will delay improvement. If single, there are not many exciting opportunities, a possible lover can put you on hold. Going out won't bring any surprise.... save your energy for later!

15. The Devil: Excellent for kinky sex and people who do not expect more than that. The period you're facing is hot, hot, hot... but if you take yourself seriously you may experience psychological damages. Beware the heart breakers and cheaters.

16. The Tower: You will be soon facing lies and treason... or the need to readjust your position seriously. There will be no compromise this time. For singles, this is the period to stay home and even your sex toys won't help you to get rid of the melancholy. Would you be thinking of seeing a shrink?

17. The Star: Improvment in sight. Stormy exchanges are fading away. This card is a sign of renewal. Your sexual stamina is not at it's peak yet; you still need to open yourself to another's perception. Maybe you have fallen in love like a teen and would like to keep it this way for awhile.

18. The Moon: Have you been used or abused? You are swimming in an ocean of illusions and you had better wake up. The only way to make it work sexually is with the use of boosts, such as alcohol and drugs - of course you'll pay the heavy price later: Men might find themselves temporarily impotent.

19. The Sun: Go out right away, no matter what time it is. There is success coming toward you. You're eroticcally irresistible! For couples, this is a golden age and everything ought to be considered. Swingers and threesomes are especially lucky. More reasonably, if you plan to settle down, your desires will be achived.

20. The Judgment: If you were about thinking of getting rid of a lover, this is an excellent period and chances are great that you'll meet another partner shortly. For couples, you now are examining how to improve your sex life in all ways. There is a high level of complicity. Plan kinky games and start looking at erotic ads right away!

21. The World: Despite the intense fulfillment suggested by this card, you must have a deep understanding of the universe to completely benefit from it. Materialistic types will seriously search for sexual enlightenment will want to drag their partner into it. Singles could be hit by a lightning bolt of seduction, leading to uncontrollable sexual activity!

22/0. The Fool: If you're willing to remain single, this card is fine. It shows that you are ready to explore sexuality and new experiences. But if involved with a partner; you may wish to reconsider your relationship. Maybe you have just broken up and question the future? At this stage it is all about the search.
