Your Power Cards These cards represent strengths and abilities you were given at birth.
The Emperor	The Fool
The Emperor can provide order and structure where once only chaos existed. He possesses great intelligence and the confidence required to use it productively. While sometimes considered stern and demanding, he knows how to encourage people to reach their full potential. He sets strict rules and boundaries and expects others to comply. When The Hierophant or Justice are among your personal cards, the influence of The Emperor may be increased. Having The Empress in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Emperor.	The Fool desires to achieve great things in life, but does not always anticipate the hard work required. Full of curiosity and searching for answers, the Fool symbolizes a new beginning and endless optimism. He must be careful in the decisions he makes, as his lack of experience is often a hindrance. While others may avoid taking on insurmountable odds, The Fool will attempt to accomplish near impossible goals with almost reckless abandon. When The Hanged Man or The Star are among your personal cards, the influence of The Fool may be increased. Having The Devil in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Fool.
Your Desire Cards These cards focus on your ambitions and dreams.
Temperance	The Hierophant
Like the Justice card, Temperance represents balance and harmony in your life. It signifies the need to find common ground in current situations and to bring opposing sides together. It is time to find a happy median between what you want in life and what you really need. By avoiding confrontation, you can give yourself the opportunity to thrive in a healthy environment free of negative influences. When The World or The Lovers is among your personal cards, the influence of Temperance may be increased. Having The Tower or The Chariot in your personal cards may diminish the influence of Temperance.	The Hierophant is the protector of culture and traditions. Conventional by nature, he is a staunch defender of the beliefs a group embraces. He represents a spiritual guide and teacher and is someone to go to for guidance and advice. Never one to question authority, he thrives on structure and values and lives a life of conformity. When The Emperor is among your personal cards, the influence of The Hierophant may be increased. Having The Fool or The Lovers in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Hierophant.
Your Lucky Cards These cards represent factors that favor you.
Strength	The Fool
Strength is a card of courage, determination and inner might. You are in a position to deal with whatever comes your way. You have reached a position of influence and no longer need to force your beliefs upon others. You are aware of the temptations that exist, but your ability to resist them is strong. Be careful not to take advantage of your power or risk becoming abusive and destructive. Listen to your inner voice and trust your instincts. When The Hanged Man is among your personal cards, the influence of Strength may be increased. Having The Chariot in your personal cards may diminish the influence of Strength.	The Fool desires to achieve great things in life, but does not always anticipate the hard work required. Full of curiosity and searching for answers, the Fool symbolizes a new beginning and endless optimism. He must be careful in the decisions he makes, as his lack of experience is often a hindrance. While others may avoid taking on insurmountable odds, The Fool will attempt to accomplish near impossible goals with almost reckless abandon. When The Hanged Man or The Star are among your personal cards, the influence of The Fool may be increased. Having The Devil in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Fool.
Your Growth Cards These cards represent the major influences on you in the near future.
The Tower	The Chariot
The Tower represents sudden and unexpected change. It signifies the destruction of something that was not built on a solid foundation. With this change comes a time of disorder and chaos, but from this comes great improvement and newfound strength. This is an opportunity for you to start over and right your wrongs. When Death or The Sun are among your personal cards, the influence of The Tower may be increased. Having Temperance or The Star in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Tower.	The Chariot is the representation of victory and a reminder that, through dedication and perseverance, great obstacles can be overcome. This card indicates that you are in control of your destiny and that your will is strong. Your refusal to surrender is your great attribute at this time. You will soon find yourself in a difficult situation that requires you to be in complete control of your actions and confident in your abilities. When The Magus is among your personal cards, the influence of The Chariot may be increased. Having The Hanged Man or The Tower in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Chariot.
Your Core Cards These cards represent your most basic traits.
The Moon	The Hermit
The Moon represents those unknown forces and cycles that are out of your control. While aware of its presence, you are unable to comprehend the influence the Moon has on your life. While this is a time full of mystery and uncertainty, it is also a time of great imagination and creativity. You must be prepared to venture into the unknown and follow uncharted paths. When The Magus or The Tower are among your personal cards, the influence of The Moon may be increased. Having The Star or The Sun in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Moon.	The Hermit represents the need to distance yourself from the people and events in your life that are causing undue strain on your emotions. There are times in your life when seclusion and isolation are warranted. The Hermit is a card of discovery and enlightenment, which can only develop by spending time alone with your thoughts. Your energy will be depleted quickly in social situations. When The High Priestess is among your personal cards, the influence of The Hermit may be increased. Having The World or The Lovers in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Hermit.

I just watched P.S. I Love You starring Hillary Swank… It’s so beautiful and tragic and I could relate to the loss of someone I love (not necessarily because of death) so much that I was pouring tears throughout the movie. Swank was brilliant. I don’t know if it’s my PMS but I’ve been pretty emotional of late. Maybe it’s the woman in me evolving and fighting to be noticed by myself. Or maybe it’s just work that made me feel a tad like a self-pitying android — automaton programmed to comprehend the grim reality that life actually isn’t as perfect  and romantic as what the movies show.

Oh well. Some news lately. Death of Lydia Sum: not much of a surprise there, she was already gravely ill for some time. But she’s an icon in Hong Kong so she deserves to be eulogized properly. Edison Chen and his naughtiness caught on digital tape. Tsk tsk. The only thing worth mentioning is his accent! I didn’t know he’s actually Canadian. I think the problem lies here: girls just fall in love with naughty-boy looks and cute accents too much to get themselves into trouble; see how I’ve reduced his big fiasco into a mere “tsk” and then move on to what about him that intrigued me.  Men are such trouble! Lol.

Moving on. Everyone knows how much I hate living here and how much I want to move out asap. But this year is worth staying in because of major events like the Grand Prix, the ongoing air show, the World Gourmet Summit, and of course, concerts by Santana, Sting, etc. As much as I hate to admit this, there is something fetching about Singapore that the world population loves; something I can tap on when I move on to other countries and have Singapore in my resume. But it’s not enough eh. Soon Singapore will be so passé.

To end today’s relatively short entry, I’m looking forward to my big UK trip with my parents and my beau! Will be visiting London, Edinburgh and Glasglow. If I had the opportunity to work in the UK (hopefully London) I’d so go for it. Although on days that I feel jaded my mind starts to drift to NZ. I was planning on going there for a working holiday until reality sinks in: I don’t have enough dough to burn! Well! I hope I’ll be able to save enough money to do something really crazy on a whim in the near future. As much as we all know and hate to say it out loud (especially for folks with finite bank accounts like me), MONEY IS FREEDOM!

Heheheh.
