Thanks, I just reread it. Yes it does. Tarot freaks me out a little, but also amazes me.

Tarot is a conduit, or can be it seems to some sort of wisdom. I have seen other positive feedback about this particular app, Tarot Sampler. It magnifies the power, the finetuning of message because I will get different decks/cards for different meanings consistently.

I like working with the I Ching, but in a non-traditional way. I asked for insight about the debate and received Hexagram 8, Seeking Union, line 3. How amazing is getting that word, Union?!

Here is the explanation: Line 3 - Seeking union with non-people

The desire to form relationships is very powerful, especially when you're struggling. So you look for allies somewhere different -- but end up seeking union with people and ways of thinking that you cannot connect with. They cannot support you because they are not of your kind; you cannot join with them without denying your own nature.

I am not that familiar with it though. I found an online app and got this: https://www.eclecticenergies.com/iching/consultation?lns=989877

giggling too much among your family isn't good, move towards discretion. A sacrifice does not need to be offered. Interesting. Thanks for sharing Luzzie.

"37. Family Members

Line 1:

Familiar is the home.

Aversion goes away.

Being at home, in a familiar environment. Aversion goes away.

Line 3:

Family members scolding, scolding.

aversion from harshness brings good fortune.

Woman and child giggling, giggling,

is eventually inadequate.

It's not good to scold each other, it is better to avoid being harsh. But constantly giggling with each other isn't good either, this will not help things to get going. Both inhibit real communication.

Hexagram is changing to:

20. Examining

Examining.

Washed, but not offered.

There is confidence in discretion.

Examining what is there, without doing anything. This cautious and unrevealing attitude makes confidence possible.

(This is about a sacrificial offering, where the ritual consists of a washing and an offering.)"

I like the I Ching too. I have a little book and I just open to a page.
