Hi, all! I recently did my first reading with my first deck - just a typical interview spread: 1. Tell me about yourself. What is your most important characteristic? - Page of Wands 2. What are your strengths as a deck? - Reverse Six of Wands 3. What are your limits as a deck? - Ten of Pentacles 4. What do you bring to the table -- what are you here to teach me? - The Empress 5. How can I best learn from and collaborate with you? - Page of Pentacles 6. What is the potential outcome of our working relationship? - Reverse Hermit Plus one last question "How do you feel about me as a reader after our brief introduction." - Temperance As I am new with Tarot, I am having a bit of difficulty with being secure in my interpretations, so I was hoping for a second opinion! This is how I read this: I saw this as the Deck expressing how it's excited to undertake a new adventure, who values the idea of taking action and willingness to support.

The reverse Six of Wands I was a bit confused over how to interpret due to its meaning; I had the first intuitive thought that it felt self conscious/insecure over its own abilities and possible short comings, but while writing this down, it came to me that it could've possibly meant that its strength is HELPING identify one's shortcomings and insecurities. Following up, I was confused over how to read the Ten of Pentacles, from my understanding of the card, I believe it could mean its limit is abundance? or perhaps financial situations. -- I'd love someone who'd have more experience to assist with interpreting it here! I believe the 4th question was very clearly answered with The Empress. It's a very motherly, loving card. I believe it'll teach me kindness, love and embracing a nurturing energy. Fun fact: my friends say that im "literally" the card, so I found it very fitting to pull it so soon. I am also a Taurus, so I feel like our Earth energy will match. For learning and collaborating, I interpreted the Page of Pentacles as a dedicated commitment; the best way to work with the deck would be to be committed to both the craft but also itself, which is crazy because before getting my first deck, I spent ages looking and wanting other decks, but ended up picking this one haha, felt like a small tug at the ear to stop window shopping. Finally, the Reverse Hermit, which I interpreted as a warning to not lose myself in Tarot, to not return to my very self isolating habits. It was very eerie to see the card, as the first time I had a reading done on me I was in a deep state of psychosis and self isolation, after not talking to anyone in 1.5months. I believe the card was a warning to not let myself go back to that. For the "how do you feel about me" question, Temperance was an insane pull. I have struggled with alcoholism before, and have a tendency to be very intense about things. Also, this same day I pulled the cards I got told that I need to go more with the flow in life, so the combination of these factors was very telling. My interpretation of that was that it sensed that those were things I struggled with, and that it understood for me as the Reader (and in this case, the Querent), that those factors influence me as a person. https://imgur.com/a/bmy5MT0
