The deck beckons you to turn over a card. The cryptic symbols on the backs intrigue you, but you aren\u2019t sure you want to wade into the tarot just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

A friend gave you the deck yesterday, on your birthday, telling you with a smile, \u201cThis will help with your decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britt knows you too well\u2014that you are often indecisive and in fact have put off this most important action until it is almost too late. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut I know nothing about fortunetelling,\u201d you sputtered after opening the small box that neatly held the tarot deck. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll the better,\u201d she said with a knowing nod. \u201cThey will guide you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now you stare at the deck, your hands trembling slightly. You feel like a skier at the top of a steep hill: Once you push off, you will be on a downward slope without any ability to stop until you reach the bottom\u2014or hit a tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britt has already nudged you gently. \u201cStart your session with the cards by asking a question.\u201d She winked. \u201cYou already know one, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you do. And, so here you are, whispering the question to yourself. The deck is ready even if you are stalling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first card\u2019s smoothness belies the fellow on the other side: a joker. You wonder if you\u2019ve misunderstood the intent. Are these meant for playing a game like poker? Then you notice that the card\u2019s name is the Fool. Ah, that makes sense<\/em>. Who\u2019s the Fool now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From some memory your mind dredges up\u2014was it a carney attraction when you were a kid?\u2014you recall that a handful of cards are turned over and from them your fate is revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memory comes crashing back: The woman with the short-cropped hair and dramatic eye liner, her long, blood-red fingernails tapping the cards as she discussed your future. The musky perfume that infused the small room off the main carnival path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday is here, make the most of it.\u201d Then her frown as she turned over the last card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You fled before she could pronounce your fate. What had seemed a lark had become menacing. Now, you mull over her cliched answer and realize how spot-on she was: You were indecisive even then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fool\u2019s card is followed by the Six of Wands, then you flip up Judgement, then the King of Cups. Is that enough? Once again, you mine that long-forgotten memory, but the number of cards on the threadbare carney tablecloth is just beyond your grasp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You decide to turn just one more face up. This time it\u2019s the Wheel of Fortune, reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now you should have the answer you reluctantly seek . . . somewhere in these images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words form in your mind, as though someone or something is dictating them: You are at the cusp of a new beginning. This is your wake-up call; once you take this step, there is no going back, but this is good news. You have long seen your life as one in which you are waiting for the best to come. That changes with today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now you are texting Britt. She has posed a question to you, one that will indeed change your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d you text. \u201cMy answer is yes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
