CARD 72: THE TENTH OF SUMMER

An unclear result, but a spark of hope on the horizon. "Unclear" isn't always what you'd want from an oracle deck but there will always be an element of mystery involved with divination, otherwise what you're doing is math.

Passion, drive, desire for success are nothing without the possibility of failure. It is that very adversity, that very incompleteness that gives our lives meaning. The tenth of summer is the ever-hungry nature of passion. Summer can never be sated, and this is beautiful. 

CARD ONE: THE SINNER

A Wretch in an iron mask and manacles. The sinner is explicitly female but bears no semblance to any sort of Eve figure. Her imprisonment is both deserved and self-inflicted, though there is a sense the punishment does not match her crime, whatever it may be. She is bound by the face and by the wrists but not shackled to a surface, she is free to move about her confinement. This indicates that her freedom is not wholly taken from her and she still has a modicum of influence. Her rags are white, possibly symbolizing a righteousness to her suffering. 

Drawing the sinner is an indication of self-punishment, with heavy connotations of guilt, or a debt that seems impossible to pay. Those who have drawn the sinner should recognize the mistake they made and do their best to make amends. Know that suffering is not apology. Know that forgiveness is not a guarantee, but neither is it a necessity. 

All things pass. In time, even the worst sins are forgotten.

CARD 47: THE SPRING EQUINOX

The ace of the suit of spring. The spring equinox is the gradual crawl from the dark, all wheels must turn and the year begins its slow movement towards the light. 

Change can be painful, we are both the marble and the sculptor. With the drawing of the spring equinox, know that the tough work is done. All of the excess has been chipped away, there is nothing left to die. Here you face the world raw and fertile for growth. Do not be afraid. 

Quite the dramatic spread indeed! Your strive for betterment may be a tad masochistic in nature, but you are generally on the right track nonetheless. Perhaps this is the most kind that you feel the world can be, which is always wrong, but with change comes pain and you are undergoing great change indeed.
