Practice Reading #12
Below is a pattern of coins as it might appear in a real reading. See Figure 49.
Figure 49 - A sample coin reading with all 14 coins cast.
Next, all face-down coins are disregarded, and removed from the reading surface. See Figure 50.
Figure 50 - This is the same reading from Figure 49, but all face-down coins have been removed from the reading surface.
For simplicity, the reading surface can now be rotated so that The Pointer coin appears to point east, or to the three o’clock position - see Figure 51. Whether or not you physically rotate the reading is your decision, but you will always read the coins in the direction of The Pointer.
Figure 51 - The same reading from Figure 49 and Figure 50, after the face-down coins have been removed,
and the reading surface rotated so The Pointer points from left to right.
and the reading surface rotated so The Pointer points from left to right.
The coins, as they appear in Figure 51, are now ready to be interpreted.
Since we are reading from left to right, in the direction of The Pointer coin, we interpret The Grave first, because it is the coin that is farthest to the left of the pattern. The Grave represents a coming together of people, or an organization. The next coin we interpret is The Scythe, which represents death, or a new beginning. Next is The Moon, representing the cycles of life, or the ebb and flow of good and bad. Interpreting these three coins together, it may point to your family or social circle undergoing a change of some kind. Based on the presence of The Moon coin, this change could be one for better or one for worse. If you have been feeling uneasy or under pressure from friends and family, then these coins point to a relief from the pressure and uneasiness. If you have felt comfortable and secure in your social circles, then you can expect a shake up that pulls you out of your comfort zone.
The next coin in the reading is The Crown, which has landed beneath The Scales of Justice. The Crown represents material success, riches, and treasure, and The Scales of Justice represents balance, fairness, and retribution. When one coin lands on another, the top coin is considered to have an influence on, or to weigh down on, the bottom coin. With The Scales of Justice landing on top of The Crown, this may represent a balancing, or retribution, having an impact on your finances. If you have let others borrow money, then this is a sign that the money will be returned, or at least that you will be made whole. If you are waiting on some kind of decision that will have a major impact on your finances, then you can expect the decision to be fair and just.
Finally, the last coin in the pattern is The Skull, which represents the self, and places emphasis on whichever coin(s) land(s) closest to The Skull. In this case, the coin closest to The Skull is The Scales of Justice, which may indicate that you are primarily being influenced by your quest for justice or retribution, or that the scales are currently in the process of being balanced.
Overall, this reading appears to indicate that your social circle, or the people around you, will undergo a change, or new beginning. This change will be a complete turning of the tide from what you are used to - so if you have grown comfortable in your social circle, then expect to be pulled out of your comfort zone, but if you have felt out of place in your social circle, then expect to find a place of comfort and acceptance. Along with this new beginning and turning of the tide, you will finally receive financial balance. This movement toward balance seems to be the energy most active in your life right now, which means the balance you can expect is just around the corner, if it has not been achieved already.
