As soon as she finished speaking, the tarot cards on the table, which were clearly spread out on the blanket around the center of the circle, began to spin.
Xu Fengwu was just amazed. She thought it was some kind of magic. After all, this kind of store would have some magic elements in it.
"Then, just pick this one." Unlike Xia Ruoming who chose casually, Xu Fengwu really chose a card seriously - based on her sixth sense.
An Jinrou just raised her hand slightly, and the tarot card on the table turned over.
The childish child on the card jumps out of the fence riding a unicorn, transcending loss and death and gaining a new life.
"【The Sun】The sun. Many stars shine, but none can be as bright as one day. This card corresponds to the sun in astrology, and also corresponds to Apollo, the sun god in Greek mythology. The moon needs the help of the sun's radiance, the stars are too far away, but the sun can illuminate the darkness by itself. The sun represents the light full of hope and optimism, which cannot be blocked by any darkness. Perhaps many people have asked which card is the best in the Major Arcana. All cards have its reflection, but if I have to choose, I would say that the sun is the brightest card in the Major Arcana."
"That's a magical card. When you turn it over, it means you already understand that happiness is a choice, not a result. The gray fence is the past that binds you. Maybe that's the past you can't look back on. The sun rises after the moon sets. The unicorn jumps out of the fence. The fog has long disappeared. You can now face the things you once feared."
“The Sun is a card that contains many things, but its overall meaning is positive. However, I have to remind you of one thing.”
"You have to understand that the sun is just a star, just like the stars and the moon. For humans, both the moon and the sun are out of reach. Unlike those mortal things, those stars are completely unattainable. Therefore, this Sun card may represent [such brilliance is just your fantasy] or [that kind of story is a distant future]. Maybe... this card just has psychological meaning to you... what it represents may not become a reality."
"Are you saying that my fortune will be good?" Xu Fengwu said, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.
Yes, of course the fortune teller would say that the person who comes for fortune-telling has good luck, and then say that maybe it is just a psychological meaning. Isn't it just saying that words should not be taken seriously? She actually believed in fortune-telling, which is quite ridiculous to think about.
But what An Jinrou said next surprised her.
"Of course not. As we said before, your fate is different from the normal one, so I can only use the octagonal divination method."
An Jinrou raised her hand again, and the card opposite the sun was turned up again, facing up.
"The main destiny card does not represent your true destiny, because you also have a hidden destiny card."
Looking at the turned-over tarot cards, An Jinrou looked even more solemn behind her veil. That was definitely not a good sign.
"At an important crossroads, your fate may be changed, and the event represented by the Fuming card will replace your original destiny."
Xu Fengwu looked at the card opposite. The tall tower that reached into the sky was pierced by lightning, and the people who originally lived in the tower fell from mid-air.
"【The Tower】The tortured soul escaped from the burning cage, but faced an abyss. Unlike the changes implied by the Death card, the tower will only bring tragedy." An Jinrou's voice sounded in Xu Fengwu's ears again.
"The so-called tragedy is the destruction of originally beautiful things... The originally stable things disappear inexplicably, the hard-earned love suddenly disappears, and the cherished things are burned in an instant... The sudden disaster makes the beautiful and stable life in the past disappear without a trace."
"Although the tower represents bad luck regardless of whether it is facing forward or backward, it also symbolizes that you have a chance to escape from the cage. The tower struck by lightning is already shaky and collapsing. If you are well prepared, it is not a bad idea to escape from the tower."
"The star representing freedom is behind the tower. Whether you can choose the right path is also the process of transforming from a tower to a star. If you want to get rid of past failures, you must first look directly at the past, acknowledge the existence of the past, and see clearly the mistakes you have made."
"Although the tower often brings about huge changes, these changes are not something that ordinary people can accept, but the pain and torture itself is teaching you to grow up, accept the past, and then surpass yourself, which will make you, and perhaps you, live a better life in the future."
"you?"
An Jinrou suddenly mentioned "you guys", and Xu Fengwu also became curious about this. It was obviously her who was doing the divination, so why did the result of "you guys" exist?
"Well... secrets cannot be told." An Jinrou made an expression that said don't ask any more questions, and then seemed to think of something, "Allow me to say something, this guest likes women, right?"
"Maybe..." Xu Fengwu gave an ambiguous answer, but there was a hint of curiosity on his face, as if he was trying to find out how An Jinrou knew it.
"Hahaha... there's no need to hide anything, I'm just guessing. The sun has a little-known positive meaning, which is "homosexuality." An Jinrou laughed twice and explained to Xu Fengwu, "In the original tarot cards, the sun card actually depicts two handsome young men, not a boy seeking freedom."
"Tarot cards were created under the influence of ancient Greek culture. In ancient Greece, it was normal for beautiful boys to fall in love with each other and for handsome nobles to keep beautiful boys. Therefore, on the original Sun card, the two handsome boys were also crowned with a special love. The moment I turned over your fate card, I knew that perhaps the interpretation of the sun did not work on you. How could the sun, which symbolizes salvation and light, appear with a tower? Now that I think about it, that Sun card, that card may represent that you have a special love."
While listening to An Jinrou's explanation, Xu Fengwu's expression changed several times. If she was not sure that she did not know the Tarot card store manager, she would have suspected that the manager said this after secretly investigating her.
"Since you have such a relationship, how about I lend you a helping hand?" Looking at the doubtful Xu Fengwu, An Jinrou showed a playful smile on her face.
"How much does it cost?" The store manager revealed her true purpose. How could someone open a store for free? This is what Xu Fengwu thought, but the store manager seemed to have calculated it quite accurately, so it didn't seem to matter if she spent a little money.
But An Jinrou just made a shushing gesture and said to her softly, "My dear customer, I have told you that our store does not charge money, nor does it require you to pay a similar price."
