Advice?

So… my baby is due August 20th. My mom is trying to plan when she should fly in to stay with us. She won’t stay any longer than two weeks, but it might not be quite that long. I’m trying to figure out what date to tell her. I did a tarot spread tonight to find a date and came up with one solid winner and few others that were okay. The date is August 5th, though, which is pretty early. My gut feeling is that baby will come earlier than the 20th, and since he already seems to be dropping… maybe very soon?
Eesh.
Has anyone else used tarot to try and predict calendar dates? How much confidence do you put in this sort of reading? What can I do to further test my findings?

Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday is coming up, so I’m finally getting the deck of Tarot cards I’ve been wanting for the past 2 years! Hurray!

Tarot & Me

This is the Nine of Swords, as illustrated in the Hanson-Roberts tarot deck (and photoshopped by me to convey the darkness I feel when I view this card).
It was a few weeks into my marriage before I noticed the little book of tarot cards sitting on a shelf. The deck was small and nothing fancy, but it immediately spoke to me. I began using it every day, several times a day. I studied the cards, trying to memorize their meanings.
The cards were so beautiful! They spoke to my soul. The card I have picture above really pierced my soul – which I now know that piercing my soul is exactly what the card is supposed to represent. I recall turning this card up at least once, which is not surprising given all the hurt and fear in my life before and during that marriage. About a month before we split, I began turning up cards about a major relationship ending, loss, etc. I’ve been a firm believer in tarot ever since.
When my ex and I parted I had to leave behind that lovely little deck of cards. I’ve missed it ever since. Now I’m really excited to have found the same deck! Hopefully I can buy a deck for myself very soon.
