010 - L'Imperatore's Reading

Layout: 6 Card Spread
Question: General Inquiry

Card 1: How L'Imperatore Feels About His Life Right Now:

5 of Wands: Obstacle overcome.  Dispute for futile reasons.  Quarreling couple.

My Thoughts: You might think that this card is L'Imperatore and me.  Yeah, I asked him to do the reading, and he agreed (although I think he didn't want to.)  And, yeah, I'm pretty bitchy towards him.  Mostly it shocked me that this came up.  This card isn't about L'Imperatore and me.  It's about L'Imperatore and his Mamma.  Looks like baby boy may be trying to sever some of the thousands of apron strings she's bound him tight with.





Card 2: What L'Imperatore Wants Most At This Moment:

5 of Swords: Overturn a situation.  Confronting risks.

My Thoughts: L'Imperatore is one of the least riskiest people I know.  The only place he lives dangerously is the dream world he inhabits.  Sorry, no real people allowed.  So if he's seriously contemplating being real I'm gonna be in the cheering squad on the sidelines.







Card 3 -  L'Imperatore's Fears:

10 of Coins: Changing fortune.  Courtship, projects.  Material goods are not enough.

My Thoughts: L'Imperatore was never taught to share.  He has a real problem with it.  He'd have $100 in his pocket and freaks if someone asks for $0.10!  Trouble is a selfish, bratty 40+ white man is not as cute throwing a temper tantrum about money as a 6 year old is.  He's been struggling with this for years and now that Mamma isn't supporting him as much reality is. . . well, real.

And, yeah, he's learning.  Budgeting, watching money, what's a real freakout moment ($20.00 or less in the bank) versus not having enough money to buy forty just released dvd's at one time.


Card 4 - What is Going for L'Imperatore:


Ace of Cups: The woman in the chalice symbolizes desire.  But, the physical and spiritual force is not enough for man. 

My Thoughts: At first this card did not make any sense to me at all.  Then L'Imperatore started talking about the last party his mom threw for him and I realized he's soaking up the 6 year old image.  He's getting money and gifts and POWER from having everyone do everything for him. 

Clever, clever social camoflauge.  Only problem is, he's long started believing the lies he tells, too.


Card 5 - What Is Going Against L'Imperatore:


8 of Coins:  Manual skills.  Arousal of sensations.

My Thoughts: When you're caught in dream world all the time - addicted to porn on the net, fiction stories, wonder woman and the such, you tend to loose the ability to do certain things in real life.  I'm not saying his imagination can't keep up.  It can.  But the real skills just aren't translating from his head to the bedroom. 

Also, so much of his physical life revolves around being coddled to.  It smarts when he has to do something in real life.



Card 6 - The Outcome:

2 of Coins: Voluptuous excitement, fun, orgasm.

My Thoughts: I once read for a man whose entire childhood and adult life had the same themes.  And no matter how hard he tried to change those themes, the friendships, the people in his life, the benefits sent his way, it all turned out the same for him.  At the point I'd read for him he'd been a parapalegic in a chair for three years.  How did he go from being an upright, good solid citizen to a crip?  Simple: he drove his car into a brick wall on purpose. 

L'Imperatore is the exact oppostie.  He doesn't want what's going on around him to change what's going on inside him.  (Remember: reverse is mental shit.)  He likes his dreams, and what he orgasms off of.
