That you are making this decision is not what hurts the most. It’s that you waited until things got this bad to finally make a decision in the first place. Regardless of what brought you to this point, choose the action that will enable you to cut yourself away from the broken relationship. Be it a lover who has broken your trust, or an employer who has broken your contract, the only way to stop things from getting worse is to stand up for yourself and do what you need to do.


The Universal Waite is Mary Hanson-Roberts’s recolored rendition of the Waite-Smith deck. Nearly identical lining is softened by gentle coloring. Some faces have been reworked to be more pleasing to the eye. The Universal Waite Tarot is ©US Games Systems, Inc.

What Does The Deck Say” is a weekday series of 3 card pulls from a cartomancy deck. No context or query is given to frame what the cards say as the posts are reading samples and not personal instruction. The result is sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and usually surprising. All readers are invited to leave a comment about what they perceive in the random spread as each person will interact with the cards in their own way.

Personalized, direct, and private cartomancy readings are available via Ko-Fi: Noxporium.
