Estate Guidance

Miss Michele has been feeling called to her old Rider Waite deck lately, so she is pulling it out for a three-card reading for Siddow. The business-like plaid pattern on the back of the cards, coupled with the straightforward imagery, seems to fit for a question regarding law.

Can I get another three-card freebie? I'm in a situation with my stepmother over my father's estate, and I don't know whether I should sit tight or lawyer up.

Overall, the spread shows that you have tried your best to approach the situation with caring and understanding. Cups, not Pentacles, show up. This shows that the dispute is less about the material aspects, but the principle of it. How your stepmother is making you feel. As if she is someone trying to sully your image and memories of your father. I'm very sorry that she's putting you through this. Miss Michele can't even imagine how hard it must be, especially with you being such a good person through it.


The Chariot
came up to show the past. You have tried to take the reigns of the situation and, until now, have maintained control. The Eight of Cupssnuck in behind the Chariot, adding further clarity. Someone is trying to pull something over on you--but you probably already knew this!

I meditated on the card in the near future, the Sun card. In three card spreads, Miss Michele often likes to think of the near future card as advice the tarot is offering. That is the situation here. Coupled with the Chariot, the Tarot is saying, Step away from the situation for the moment. Take a chance to cool down and relax. It could be a literal vacation, or just a day of R&R at home.

The King of Cups in the outcome *could* indicate a lawyer. But the lawyer would be compassionate, more of a mediator than anything else. However, the King of Cups also represents diplomacy, generosity and maintaining your calm. You will emerge the better individual in this, and get what you want. By drawing on the memories and strength of your father, you will find a diplomatic solution to the situation. It may require compromise, but you will come out ahead in the end.

Okay, I'll rest awhile. Could the King also represent probate court, which is what I want? She's trying to do everything without going through probate, but frankly, I want an overseer like the courts.

Siddow,
I'll be honest, I don't know what probate court is, but if it's sort of like a mediator, then yes.
The King is diplomacy, strictness while being gentle. Picture the parent who can be stern and loving at the same time.

Since I didn't even know what probate is, I wouldn't have interpreted the cards that way. If that interpretation rings true, to you, however, that could be it.

Even if that's the case, though, the Sun is definitely saying to step back for a bit, and, while you do, don't let it worry you.

So what does one need to do to set up a 13 card reading?

Hi, TJWriter,
Please pay $10 through PayPal to DawnAllcot@yahoo.com, and include what kind of reading you want (in this case, 13-card, 12-month spread.)

I can get to it right away... either tonight or tomorrow morning.
