Sophie paused. Perhaps this reading would be harder than she thought.Well, I will tell you what I see in my cards. There are no specifics here. They cannot spell out your name, but we may figure out something about those men.
She pointed to the center card; the one buried under two others. This card signifies you. It is an ominous card, my lad. It is a card of death. It tells me that you are represented by violent change and death. This card on top of it tells me that you want to have some stability in your life, to promote yourself to a better standing than you currently are at. Perhaps, due to this trail of death you represent, these men do not want you to advance your class.
The card that crosses these two tells me that a dishonest and unscrupulous man who double deals and is very violent and treacherous is your main obstacle. Perhaps this man is the one who sent those thugs after you.
Sophie then moved her hand to the card right above the pile and pointed each card out counter-clockwise. Your past holds an unreliable, deceitful, narrow minded, and sly woman. Perhaps this is your mother. It also says the woman is a gossip. There is one such woman that seems to fit that bill precisely. If I were you, I’d look up Rubina Gionni. You may be an unwanted child of hers. Next up we have your present. There is an unpredictable man who is swift to act, but these hasty decisions causes sudden departures. Perhaps you have a father or some other protective figure who is currently absent, which is why these men are able to come after you.
I see that within the next three months there is some sort of charity without wanting reward, but it comes as a failure of a promising project brought on by lack of interest. Be weary of any sort of investment you might get into, even as one so small. Perhaps your selfless charity will cost someone large sums of money and you’ll end up in worst trouble than you already are. In fact, I foresee some sort of hospitalization in your future. Farther than the act of charity, perhaps by year’s end. You will rest during this hospitalize retreat and you will find relief from your sorrow. Perhaps this rehab will solve all of your current problems, or it may mean that you will finally learn your true identity, for I do not see it now.
After a pause, Sophie moved to the four remaining cards lined up to the right of the spread. She started with the card closest to her and moved her hand up the line until she finished in front of the boy. You see yourself as someone who must constantly overcome obstacles, this lack of identity is probably just one of multiple challenges you face daily. You wish to run away from these problems, but your only solution is to face them, for the relief you receive while in hiding is but fleeting. You see your homelife – or at least you would if you remembered it – as being filled with theft, foolhardy action, and ill news. You both hope to finally establish a happy and content family life, but you also fear that you’ll end up in a rut if you finally overcome these challenges. Be cautious, son, for in the end your life will involve an unreliable woman whose opinions change without reason or logic and is prone to hysteria.
Sophie looks up away from the cards. All in all, I do not see a bright future for you and your past is clouded in darkness. Perhaps it is best to not know who you are.
