A'ishah's Existing Situation
Volatile and outgoing. Needs to feel that events are developing along desired lines, otherwise irritation can lead to changeability or superficial activities.
A'ishah's Stress Sources
Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the herd. Her control of her sensual instincts restricts her ability to give herself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow herself to merge with another. This disturbs her. as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; she feels that only by continued self-restraint can she hope to maintain her attitude of individual superiority. Wants to be loved or admired for herself alone; needs attention, recognition, and the esteem of others.
A'ishah's Restrained Characteristics
Circumstances are forcing her to compromise, to restrain her demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things she wants.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to her.
Circumstances force her to compromise and to forgo some pleasures for the time being. Capable of achieving physical satisfaction through sexual activity.

A'ishah's Actual Problem(s)

Hah! I love the colorquiz - it's pretty much on point. Creepy, yes. Accurate, yes. Let's see what other quizzes I can find. Ohhhh... I should do some tarot.
Question: What should I do?
Deck: The Catpeople
Spread: The One Card spread is the most concise of all spreads, intended to provide a quick take on a situation, or to reduce it to a single point of meditation.
Results: The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand. The Tower, when reversed: Continued oppression. Following old ways. Living in a rut. Inability to effect any worthwhile change. Entrapment in an unhappy situation. Imprisonment.
Hmmm....interesting. I think I'll ask 1) a more specific question and 2) select a more detailed spread.
Question: What path leads out of this rut?
Deck: Voodoo Tarot of New Orleans
Spread: The Two Paths spread provides insight into an important decision ahead of you, the possible outcomes, and the forces that draw you towards each of these outcomes.
Results:
 | The top left card represents the first possible outcome. Marie Laveau (The High Priestess), when reversed: Being confused and led astray from the true path. Spiritual deception. Overzealous and shallow-minded pursuit of the esoteric. Insecurity, conceit and self-destructiveness. The forces of nature unleashed. |
 | The top right card represents the second possible outcome. The Market (The Wheel): The path of destiny. Karma on a grand scale. An unexpected turn of good fortune. A link in the chain of events. Success, luck, and happiness. |
 | The middle left card represents the force drawing you towards the first possible outcome. Petro Mambo (Queen of Wands), when reversed: The dark essence of fire behaving as water, such as steam: The natural embodiment of passion and sensuality, who will do anything to the be the center of attention. A seducer who calculatingly dons the guise of what others desire. A cocky and domineering person, who pushes anyone or anything aside to get what she wants. One who is vengeful and quick to take offense without good cause. May indicate infidelity and contempt for a relationship. |
 | The middle right card represents the force drawing you towards the second possible outcome. Shango (Eight of Discs): Dedicating yourself fully to a task. Learning a new craft or skill. Applying painstaking attention to detail. Industriousness and the efficient completion of tasks. Sticking with a project long enough to see it through. |
 | The bottom card represents the critical factor that decides what will come to pass. Ayida Wedo (Ace of Cups), when reversed: The seed of a destructive relationship or spiritual collapse. A missed opportunity for joy, contentment, fertility, or enlightenment. Failing to understand the emotional needs of those around you. May represent an unexpected message, a chance meeting, or the start of a friendship or romance. |
Hmm... even more interesting. I want to ask the same question, same deck, different spread.
Question: What path leads out of this rut?
Deck: Voodoo Tarot of New Orleans
Spread: The Shadow Truth spread provides insight into your attitudes and hidden feelings. This spread is used when you are having trouble confronting something, or fear that you are concealing something from yourself.
Results:
 | The card in the center represents the attitude you assume. Simbi (Eight of Swords): Chagrin at the unforeseen consequences of prior decisions. Criticism, censure, and the imposition of external restrictions. Confusion leading to powerlessness. Inability to focus on the crux of a problem and free oneself from a difficult situation. Being hamstrung by a past failure or humiliation. |
 | The card to the right represents the thoughts and feelings that underly your attitudes. Obatala (Four of Discs), when reversed: Using your power freely for your own enjoyment and the betterment of others. Coming to grips with progress and using your position to help it along. Finding security and identity someplace other than in the possession of material things. Letting go and encouraging others to find their own path. Being magnanimous and generous with your success. |
 | The card at the top represents how your attitude is evolving and will evolve in the future. Courir Le Mardi Gras (The Devil), when reversed: Resistance of temptation. Freedom from bondage. The pursuit of higher goals despite the influence of luxury and pleasure. Release from obsession with money and power. Liberation from fear, weakness and indecision through communion with higher powers or the inner voice. |
 | The card to the left represents how others perceive your attitude. La Sirene (Seven of Cups): Daydreams and things seen in the glass of contemplation. The scattering of energies by strong desires and unrealistic goals. The pursuit of illusions and the dissipation of energy on false choices. Intoxication, delirium, and hallucination, leading to the negation of effort. Under rare and extreme circumstances, may indicate the revelation of transcendental spiritual truth. |
 | The card at the bottom represents what you cannot confront or are hiding from yourself. Couche (The Hermit), when reversed: Detachment based on fear, irresponsibility or naiveté. Self-imposed isolation from friends and loved ones. Listening to the wrong advice or ignoring good counsel. Concealment, disguise, and unreasoned caution. |
*laughs* If the cards could hum, they'd be humming "Youse a ho!!! Youse a ho!!"
I actually like that deck though - it's a new one on that site, and it's actually rather attractive. I've always wanted to learn the cards, but - well. I have a deck at home, but I was rather horrified when I learned that it was the deck used in a James Bond movie - Live & Let Die, I think it was. Since then, I haven't been able to even look at the deck, much less even try to use it. I wonder how much it costs? Hmm... 23 bucks for just the deck and a basic booklet, 38 dollars for the deck and a more detailed booklet. Hm. Maybe. I'll have to sleep on it.
