Heh heh. But I&#8217;m not talking literally &#8212; I&#8217;m talking Tarot.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had some incredible experiences with Tarot cards, and one of them is having the same card turn up repeatedly in readings to represent the same person. I wouldn&#8217;t even believe this is possible if it hadn&#8217;t happened to me personally so many times.<\/p>\n<p>Usually it&#8217;s the Major Arcana cards that represent people in your life, and sometimes the Tarot cards even resemble those people. I&#8217;ve pulled cards that look like me, my boss, my mom &#8212; even cards with cats on them when I&#8217;m asking a question about something related to my household.<\/p>\n<p>And more often than not, when I do a reading about my boyfriend I pull The Fool Tarot card. It has turned up far too many times to be a coincidence, and down to every detail this card IS him.<\/p>\n<p>In the classic Rider Waite Tarot deck, the figure on The Fool card doesn&#8217;t resemble my boyfriend (that&#8217;s a good thing, because I&#8217;m not into men who wear tights), but there is a small light-colored dog that resembles his dog, and he&#8217;s holding a rose \u2014 my favorite flower.<\/p>\n<p>The meaning of the card is that of someone who is a bit na\u00efve about what they are getting into &#8212; i.e. a relationship with me. It&#8217;s a card about someone who is pure of heart and has good intentions, but maybe isn&#8217;t so hot at relationship nitty-gritty.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s how I interpret it, anyway, and I think I&#8217;m right. The only way this card could represent him any better is if he was holding a burrito.<\/p>\n<p>And frankly that&#8217;s what Tarot is &#8212; it&#8217;s about listening to your own intuition, and then realizing that your guy might be The Fool, but he&#8217;s still the fool for you.<\/p>\n<p>Or something like that.<\/p>\n<p>Has this ever happened to you? Please do a Tarot reading and let me know what happens. I&#8217;d love to hear about your experience!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Free Tarot reading at Tarot.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tarot.com\/online-games\/tarot-reading\" target=\"_blank\">Get a free 3-card Celtic Cross Tarot reading from Tarot.com \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every time April Fool&#8217;s Day rolls around, I think about what a fool my boyfriend is.
