Give me a cold reading consisting of incredibly general predictions that any person could identify with. Y'know, just the same thing you'll give to everyone else.

Tarot, astrology, crystal balls, palmistry, reading tea leaves, etc. are all bullshit. Sorry.

There was a bit in one of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books where someone compared astrology to tossing powder on a piece of paper to see the indentations. Is it supernatural in any way? No, of course not, but it can still be mildly interesting to see how people apply what they've been told to their own life. I'm a hardcore skeptic, but I'm still going to ask for a reading, to see how I interpret the meaning of what's been given to me. [The placebo effect should not be discounted, either.]



OP: Give me a reading on my future love life. Am I going to be able to open up to someone?

 

[Incitemaybe]

I'll take one

In most curious about the near future......actions to take, things to focus on.....

 

[Hylian7]

What the hell, I'll bite. I'm not superstitious at all, but this is fun anyway. My love life, go.

Edit: Actually, maybe you can do something with this. I had this really fucked up dream about a week ago and it's been bothering me ever since.

For context, in real life, my ex girlfriend broke up with me about two months ago, we were together for five years.

Now in the dream, for some reason I was at some kind of Halloween party and dyed my hair pink. I had also managed to get a date on an online dating site, which was set for the next day. The dream fast-forwarded to the date, and I got there, and the girl looked nothing like the pictures on the dating site: It was my ex-girlfriend, and somehow she did not recognize me at all. I thought to myself "Hmmm, maybe I can have some fun with this." and just kept up the act. I even used my real first name, and she STILL didn't realize it was me. The date went on, and then somehow she ended up talking most of the time about her past relationship with me. She started calling me all these horrible things, saying I was an atheist like it was a bad thing. Then it got even weirder from there. She took me to her apartment, and I went inside and there was blood in places all over the walls. She was pointing it out to me and claimed that this was where I constantly beat and raped her, and I did not say anything out loud, but in my head I kept thinking "This is fucking bullshit." Eventually we went back outside, and I was going to go back home for the night. Before I got in the car and left though, I told her who I actually was. She had a shocked look on her face, and then I woke up.

I kind of want to make a "Dream Interpretation-GAF" spinoff thread on this. Even if it is a bunch of bullshit, it's kind of fun.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Specific, please: Will I get over what has been haunting me? Will I grow through it and past it, and stay stable with my love?

These are fun, and can be made into a positive with the right mindset.

[Bombadil]

Four of Cups (Upright).
Growing disinterest and boredom with events at large. A feeling of having already accomplished enough, and becoming withdrawn.

The first part is spot on. I am bored with most things. The second part is partly dead off. I don't feel as if I've accomplished enough if anything. But I am withdrawn, though not becoming withdrawn, I simply have been that way forever.

 

[Munsu_88]

How about my love life? Impress me :]

 

[GrizzNKev]

Just for fun...

I'm chasing after a dream, but I'd have to sacrifice a lot if it works out. WUTS GUNNA HAPPEN!?

I'm a bit of a reader myself, though I tend to use it more as a psychological tool.
I think a good rapport with who you are reading as well as their contribution is important, and so I'm not big into one card cold readings.

Still, I'd be very interested in a broad reading from you, especially to see if any of my traditional cards happen to come up.
