Quiz: Which Court Card Are You?

In my world, Summer isn’t Summer without holing up in a tent or tree fort and doing personality quizzes!

Back when I was 13, my friend and I spent the whole Summer hanging out in her little brother’s tree fort, putting on skanky makeup and doing sex quizzes in Cosmo. No wonder I’m so messed up now.

So in the spirit of that, I decided to make you a quiz. And since my Tarot Summer School course Learn the Tarot Court Cards is now available, I decided to make this quiz all about Court Cards!

1. You’re planning your next vacation – ooh la la! What option is most attractive to you?

a) Camping and hiking in the wilderness. You love nature…and crapping in the bushes.

b) Visiting a big glitzy city and going to intellectual bookstores, plays and museums

c) Something near water – either a luxury cruise or a surfing trip

d) A spiritual retreat in the desert where you can watch for UFOs and go on drumming trance journeys.

 

2. Your favorite way to connect with someone is to:

a) Have sex with them

b) Discuss literature, politics and film

c) Share feelings and emotions and cry a lot

d) Do things together that you’re both passionate about

 

3. Your favorite mode of transport is…

a) Walking. You like to have both feet on the ground!

b) Flying. Stale peanuts, screaming babies and getting groped by TSA’s  is your fave!

c) Boat! Ferries, yachts, rowboats, catamarans, kayaks, cruise ships – as long as it’s on water, it’s awesome!

d) Astral travel. But if that’s not possible, a car will do.

4. What best describes your personality?

a) Practical, down to earth and stable. You enjoy good food, a comfy home and the company of friends, family and pets. You crave a simple, yet delicious life.

b) Smart, focused and goal oriented. You love to plan, love to read and love to have stimulating conversation with intelligent people. You don’t have time for drama or fluff but often find yourself in a depressive mood.

c) Intuitive and empathetic, you are in tune with your emotions and the emotions of others. Strangers like to tell you their life story because they sense your sympathetic ear a mile away.

d) You’re passionate and creative and live your life according to your own rules! You follow your bliss and sometimes burn the candle at both ends, but your life and work has meaning for you.

You’re only halfway through this quiz, but I want you to tally up your answers so far. The answers to the last four questions will determine what suit you are most aligned with.

If you answered…

Mostly A’s – You resonate most strongly with the suit of Pentacles! You’re a practical person who is very authentic and “real”. You love the good things in life like sex, food and relaxation and most of your struggles (and you’re achievements) are in the realms of finances and health.

Mostly B’s – You resonate powerfully with the suit of Swords! You have a strong intellect and a way with words. You shine the most when you feel mentally stimulated and focused – this is when you morph into a powerhouse who gets shit done! Most of your big life challenges (and rewards) are in the realm of communication and mental health.

Mostly C’s – You are most strongly aligned with the suit of Cups! You’re touchy feely, have a developed sixth sense (whether you know it or not) and others seem instantly comfortable around you. You make an excellent counsellor, mentor, artist or Tarot reader. Most of your challenges (and joys) tend to be in the realm of relationships and emotional expression.

Mostly D’s – You are powerfully aligned with the suit of Wands! You’re a passionate little firecracker and you’re not afraid to go after what you want. You’re different from the masses because see the BIG picture and understand how everything is connected. You’re biggest challenges (and successes) are in the realm of spirituality and creativity.

Okay, now let’s continue…

5) When it comes to life, your goal is to:

a) Be the BEST at everything (or at least be the best you can be)

b) Help, understand and connect with others

c) Explore and have adventures! There are SO MANY experiences you are dying to have!

d) Learn. You are a student of life.

 

6) In relationships you’re good at:

a) Calling all the shots

b) Being empathetic and nurturing

c) Bringing the excitement and thrills!

d) Being unstable, indecisive and just generally fucking things up

 

7) When you dislike someone, you:

a) Fire them

b) Keep it classy and treat them with respect – giving in to your baser instincts will only make you look weak

c) Challenge them to a contest you know you will win

d) Avoid them

 

8) You acquire ten million dollars! You immediately:

a) Invest it, buy some real estate and maybe, just maybe, indulge in some hookers n’blow

b) Donate some to charity, help out friends and family, quit your day job and devote your life to helping others

c) Travel! Maybe buy a motorbike or yacht and set out on the adventure of a lifetime.

d) Go back to school and learn something valuable. But blow the rest on stupid stuff.

Okay, now tally up your answers to questions 5 – 8. These will reveal whether you’re a King, Queen, Knight or Page!

If you answered mostly…

A’s – You’re a King! You’re a natural born leader and you love running the show. You’re confident most of the time and when you’re not you’re really good at faking it. You know yourself well which is why you exude such power and sensuality. But don’t be surprised if you attract needy losers who need to be micromanaged – they are helplessly drawn to your willingness to tell them what to do. Most find you inspiring and some find you irritating – but that’s the name of the game when you’re the top banana!

B’s – You’re a Queen through and through! You classy, poised and have a heart of gold. You love teaching and helping others and those who confide in you know you’ll take their secrets to the grave. You have the confidence, focus and determination to make real changes in the world, minus the lust for power and fame. A true Queen indeed! But keep in mind that it’s okay to be selfish every now and then – you don’t have to be a Mother Theresa all day everyday. Geez!

C’s – You’re a Knight! Chances are you can’t sit still for long before you find yourself lusting for action and adventure. You love getting out there and having new and exciting experiences, especially when you’re after a challenge of some sort. Commitment is like death to you – unless you’re committing to a life of wild thrill seeking. But there’s more to you than meets the eye – you’re on a mission and that mission is meaningful to you. Your motto is: Don’t just stand there, bust a move!

D’s – Good golly, you’re a Page! What you lack in experience you make up for with enthusiasm – in ALL areas of life 😉 You’re happy as long as you’re learning something new and having new experiences. Sometimes you mess up and doubt yourself, but that’s okay. You’re good at picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, learning from your mistakes and moving on. You’re an optimist most days and possess the valuable ability to see things with a fresh set of eyes.

Now, combine your suit with your Court card type to learn which specific court card is most strongly aligned with your personality!

Most importantly, share your results in the comments below! Which court card are you? Do you agree? Disagree?

The Worst Kind of Person

Veronica Noir is my deeply disturbed, Tarot reading twin. She is here to spice up your life with her bad advice…

Osho Zen Tarot

You know what disturbs me more than anything?

More than fascism, more than ice cream cakes and even more than texting?

People who get up early…on purpose.

Do you ever notice how these people are always more productive, happy and successful than you?

They are also more annoying and unlikeable.

In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever met an early riser I didn’t clash with. They always seem to be hardworking, dependable and polite – the worst type of person!

So if you want to avoid turning into one of these assholes, start brushing up on your sleeping in skills!

The Art of the Sleep In (in 4 easy steps!)

  1. Stay up ridiculously late, doing something frivolous like watching make-up tutorials on YouTube or fapping to pics of hot guys with kittens.
  2. Consume vast quantities of drugs and alcohol. Martinis and weed work nicely for me. But if you’re “in recovery” or just not into the drugs and booze scene, make yourself a big mug of Sleepytime tea and hit that shit hard!
  3. Get your snack on. Cheese, chips, cookies, you name it. Eating late is hard on your liver because it overloads it with glucose right when it’s trying to rest. This creates a sluggish, lazy effect on your body which helps you sleep in later. You’re welcome!
  4. Don’t set an alarm. Alarms are for try-hards with careers and responsibilities. You’re cooler than that, right? RIGHT?

Consumption vs Creativity

Veronica is my Tarot reading twin. She’s just like me except she’s bad, slutty and has way more fun! When she’s in between spa appointments and sex cruises, she’s kind enough to devote her spare time to writing these Friday readings. Enjoy!….

Universal Waite Tarot Deck (U.S. Games Inc)

There are two main things we humans do: consume and create.

Both are valid. Both are important. But if you do only one then you’re up shit creek without a paddle.

I, Veronica, love to consume! I voraciously munch cinnamon buns with my London fog every Sunday afternoon. I love watching artsy fartsy euro porn, listening to grisly true crime podcasts and reading celebrity gossip mags!

But consumption becomes destruction if it isn’t  balanced out with creativity. Your soul withers and your mind becomes numb.

So this weekend, make sure you enjoy the things you consume, but then let them inspire you to create!

Bake some cookies, draw pictures of your cat, build a tree fort or slather your naked body in paint and roll around on a canvas in your backyard.

You get the idea. The sky’s the limit!

So tell me….what 3 things do you love to consume and what 3 things will you create this week?

The one question that will change your life

veronica 2

International Woman of Leisure by day, whipcracking Tarot Reader by night! Veronica is my evil twin and she’s here to slap some sense into you. She wrote this reading with her peacock feather pen while sipping a spiked earl grey tea and then made me type it out on my laptop….that bitch…..

cat
Animal Wisdom Tarot by Dawn Brunke

Whenever I’m in a bind I always ask myself WWMCD?

That stands for what would my cat do?

Cats do two things really well:

#1 They are pros at kicking back and relaxing

#2 They couldn’t care less about what you think about them – 0 fucks given.

These are two things you need more of in your life. Trust me.

Who would you be if you acted like a cat? If you could lounge for hours without feeling “guilty”? If everything you did was because it felt good.

Sure you might be a bit of a sociopath, but you’d also be able to let your intuition guide you for once.

And your intuition will probably say things like skip work today and read dirty novels in the bath” or fuck herbal tea, let’s go for some vodka and tomato juice”

And that’s okay. Just go with it. See where it takes you…

Just don’t get drunk in the bath…you could die….clutching literary porn.
