@Maggieci @Snowbird @SisterMoon
Thank you very much for your insight. I usually get the overall meaning in the reading, more by "the feeling" of the reading than actual meaning of the card so the reading is quite vague^^"" but I still have trouble with connecting them to each other. Hopefully, the more I get familiar with the cards the easier it will become :D Once again I thank all of you.
I did a tarot reading for myself today. I haven't touched tarot for a few years, but I was curious to see what my reading today would be:
Card 1: How you feel about yourself
Strength
Card 2: What you want most right now:
Chariot
Card 3: Your fears:
Lovers
Card 4: What is going for you:
Judgement
Card 5: What is going against you:
Hanged man
Card 6: The likely outcome:
The world
I thought this was a pretty positive reading to be honest.
Edit: I'm not asking for a personal reading of my reading as such, just trying to see if my interpretation of this is correct for being quite positive.
If anyone would like to add insight for what each card usually means to them in a general way when they do their own tarot readings, I would be grateful. I am still learning the ropes of tarot.
@luminous, I also see this as a positive read. Your attitude at least is! The Hanged Man as 'going against you' would be the fact that the world stands still at the mo, imo. That's against you; there isn't anywhere to go, no forward... yet. ?

Your interpretation is really spot on. I won't go into full detail, but the hospital I am under didn't process my referral properly from last April and I should have had an appointment but something got lost in translation - so nothing happening and I'm trying to solve this now.
I am still a novice at tarot, but I really like doing readings for myself once in a while to see their accuracy and better understand their meanings.
I've just done another tarot reading for myself and I think it's pretty similar to the last one a few months ago:
Card 1: How you feel about yourself »
The Hermit
You may be feeling lonely at this time or going through a period of introspection. If you are struggling to find answers to your questions give it time, they will come. This is a time for prudence and patience.
If you have been unwell this is a time for rest and recuperation.
Card 2: What you want most right now »
Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel suggests that you're looking for a turning point in your life and positive change, and if that's the case expect it now!
Life will go up a gear or two and events will accelerate you forward. Destiny is at play here - have you noticed a number of events that seem rather 'coincidental'? This is synchronicity, trust it and go with the flow.
Card 3: Your fears »
The Chariot
The word failure isn't in your vocabulary. You are worried things are more of a struggle than you expected, with more delays and frustrations.
Things aren't going according to plan at all - just chill out, calm that mind of yours and you'll find the strength to battle on until you succeed. This is a period of movement and change and conflicts ending in victory.
Card 4: What is going for you »
The Star
A wish come true, this is a time of good luck and fortune, perhaps after a period of struggle and heartache.
Good health, possibly after a time of illness, and good fortune will give you a new zest for life.
If considering a new love affair, new employment, a career change, or you wish to travel, then go for it.
You may also receive an unexpected gift!
Card 5: What is going against you »
The Moon
You are frozen with fear, lacking nerve and confused as to what it is you actually want.
You are allowing all your fears and anxieties to hold you back when you should be opening your mind to new and unexpected possibilities.
You do need to be careful however, as there are deceitful people around who may seem charming but are only out for their own gains. If in a clandestine affair beware, your secret may be exposed.
Card 6: The likely outcome »
Judgement
A time for taking stock, an end to an era or phase of your life and brand new opportunities appearing.
An opportunity will present itself that must not be ignored and it could have far-reaching implications, changing your life for the better.
You will enjoy success and enjoyment for past efforts, events will pick up a pace and the outcome will be quicker than expected.
I mean, these are the pretty basic meanings, so I know they also have another interpretation.
I will admit that I have been feeling quite let down by the recent setbacks, and it has felt like familar territory of another year being wasted - so whether that is what the moon card represents in terms of how I feel I don't know... I am not giving up though...
@luminous don't give up! I found that with the tarot you just need to let meanings sink in an get in touch with your instinct. Don't go with what you want them to say, but what your gut tells you.
How much of the situation at the hospital is external and how much can you do yourself? That's kind of what I get from your reading. Does everything 'happen to you' or can you take control?
Keep at it ❤️
Thank you @moonbeam
I spoke to the hospital on Tuesday. I took my power back and took control. I put pressure on them to sort this out. Today I got a letter with an appointment for July - a positive result!
You are right. Stuff usually does just happen to me irrespective of what i am doing and it occurs most often in the background without my control, but this time I took back control with a positive result - I claim back my power.
I also think these cards paint a picture further ahead too, because the next hurdles are the appointment and getting the treatment organised. So hopefully some more positive results further ahead. But I know I am going to have to keep going at this and not let up - I am not letting my foot off the gas now.
I want to also thank @jeanne-mayell for her encouraging words of support also recently - as that lifted me.

@luminous, what deck are the cards you used for this reading? Let me guess, probably Ryder Waite. I read mostly Thoth. But I can interpret what you pulled by just feeling them in my mind. Remember that both readings, yours, mine, and moonbeam's can cast light on your situation even if the readings are different. It's like the three blind men and the elephant story. You said you didn't want a personal reading but that's hard not to do. I'm not predicting your future, though, just interpreting the cards the way they feel with you being the the one who pulled them. Hope that is okay.
Also @moonbeam is an excellent tarot reader.
Card 1: How you feel about yourself - Hermit
Alone with your struggle. It's okay, we are always alone when we are grappling with something, even if there are people to help us. While you are alone, however, you are meditating in the most wonderful way. You are turned inward, but opening to inner light. That light is your soul's truth. You are getting better at it, and evolving from the practice.
Card 2: What you want most right now --Wheel of Fortune
You want for fortune to go your way. But on a higher level, you want what the wheel teaches: to learn to be okay no matter where you are on the wheel. When you can thrive regardless of whether you are up or down on the wheel, you have arrived at mastery of this world.
Card 3: Your fears »The Chariot
Fears are usually the emotional self, and the emotional self is usually our inner child. The Chariot runs his own show. He is in charge. He is independent. He wears a suit of armor. I'm wondering if you have been afraid of being forced to go it all alone. Most people are! Also there might have been a key person in your life, like a father, who seemed separate from the rest of the family, or separate from you. And although you loved each other, he perhaps had a separateness to him. Even if such a person doesn't exist, that person is also you -- independent, on your own, and that can be scary, even if you choose it or can't help but live it. But own it! Own your independence, that on some level you are a lone soldier, and you will be facing your own great strength to ride your own chariot.
It's also good to remember that we are ultimately on our own in this life. And we are also never alone.
Card 4: What is going for you »The Star
The Star is many things, but more than anything, it is hope. It is also redemption and new life. You are never alone because you are part of the great magical and deep universe. The star is an angel who guides you, the great heavens insure that we are all connected and our fortunes are cyclical too. There is no end, no beginning, just cycles and nothing bad ever stays bad for long.
Card 5: What is going against you »The Moon
The moon creates confusion. It is the deep unconscious. It is the darkness that we have to walk through. We have to navigate in the dark and it can be frightening because there is so much in our own unconscious that we don't understand. We have triggers, fears, traumas, and anger from that realm. Our childhood traumas, fears, loves and losses swirl about down there in the dark unconscious. So the moon is magical, mystical and exciting. But it is also like a boogeyman, a carnival house of mirrors - distorting our perceptions. So this distortion can work against us. For example, the troubles with the hospital's losing your films or delaying your treatment can be not only inconvenient, but it can feel like people don't care about you, like you've been neglected or abandoned by the very people who are supposed to take care of you. It can feel personal and trigger a lot of old painful traumas.
But you are growing from this difficulty. So in the end, the pain awakens you, and you grow from it. Also I don't think the delay will ultimately harm you, only your reaction to it.
Card 6: The likely outcome »Judgement
You are going to grow immeasurably from this journey. You are going to step up and cast off some old beliefs about who takes care of you, and who is in charge of you. It will start with anger and blossom into self reliance and strength. You will come of age from this. You will evolve and rise!
@luminous. After I posted my interpretation of your cards, I realized I hadn't read your update. Sounds like what I saw in you cards fit what happened already, although as always, I went deep and detailed into it. But this growth you are experiencing is life changing for you. You are rising!
@luminous sounds great! Glad to read that you were able to take back control of the situation and it feels right/good. Hope it will all work out and feel natural to you as well; this (new) way of doing things. Hospital visits are never fun. Let's go for a beautiful resolution there! ❤️
@jeanne-mayell, wow that was a beautifully detailed interpretation.
I think much of that is pretty accurate. I've lost my independence a lot over the years due to my ill health, and I have felt a lot of my life has been in the hands of other people making all the decisions and calling all the shots. So I've had this feeling of no control or power in my life - with both my health and decisions about my health and life. I had to surrender a lot of my pride because I initially thought I could take up my sword and shield and just wade through, but I discovered my journey has not been that simple - because there were parts about my health problems I was not aware of - stuff I had to go on the journey of 12 years to learn and discover and experience - to find out what really was going on with my body and to grow as a person.
These last few years have been some of the hardest - it has made me challenge what I know to be true with periods of self doubt and low confidence, certainly when past traumas and events have reared their ugly heads. But I'm now learning that I already possess the power and knowledge to take me forward now - and that I've already overcome so much.
So now comes the time to empower myself using the foundations I have built and put them into action.
@moonbeam thank you for your kind words. It's now about putting the plan into action which I will discuss with the doctor in June. I have got the science on my side now for supporting the treatment I need and now it's about getting it done.
