I went to Grease Coakes' apartment for a tarot reading. I was very curious to see how it turns out. Grease said that the posters behind him are actual tarot cards from his deck dragon tarot. Grease also mentioned that some of the art work is from his friend in Second Life, Amehana Ishtari.
I asked him if we could sit at the table, and it was okay with him. So we sat down at the tarot table.
My question for Grease was if I would move to Langley. Grease told me that the reading he was about to do for me is called a Celtic cross. Since we are friends on Facebook, he can show me the cards that he draws. Grease would take pictures with his phone, and then send them to me via instant-messaging there. He then started drawing cards.
“So the first card is ace of swords reversed," Grease announced, "which means your question will you move back to Langley seems to be stuck at time. You're thinking of a way or a how to move back there but you can't seem to find an effective way to move back there at this time. Swords cards are about intellect communication and problem solving. So right now you can't seem a way to solve your problem for the time being.” said Grease. “This might be why this four of wands reversed. This shows you don't have a strong foundation of plans to move forward on your quest, or perhaps resources or money for right now. This is your challenge card and since this card is reversed, it means your objective is very hard for you to obtain right now. But this is just for the present time. Things could change later. Don't get discouraged.”
“So this deck is all dragons," Grease explained, "Meaning the hanged man is going to be the hanging dragon instead. Which for right now, you're stuck in a waiting period. Since you're a pony, your hooves are tied. Nothing you can do but wait. When the dragon wakes up, maybe then you'll have more control. But for now, you're stuck, kiddo.”
He drew once more, “Well this is a positive card. The chariot how the dragon flies across the skies. There was fast travel in your past. You moved quickly up to a point. But then everything stopped and stood still. Like in a chariot race, all those chariots zoom by drawn by those horses. Well in this card, other dragons. But this looks good to the page of cups with the dragon hatching from an egg. Maybe the start of a new friendship. Might it be you since you're a young person, right? Make you think you're a water sign like Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces.”
I told Grease that I'm 42. “Oh you fooled me since you're wearing a youthful pony avatar,” responded Grease. I told Grease that I am young at heart. Grease continued on with the tarot card reading, “For right now, thought your future does not look sunny for your move back to Langley. The sun reversed is clouds covering your sunshine for the time being. But I'm looking at the hanging dragon makes me think this is temporary. Things should brighten up soon I would think. Two of coins the two dragons sharing coins tells me the best bet you can do now is balance your finances. Don't order a pizza every day or don't go clubbing every night. Balancing and saving your money is your best bet for the time being.” I told him that it sounds like a good idea. “
Grease went on, Five of coins with the dragon looking over the maze for a safe way out of the maze to make sure he/she has enough coins to make it safely to the other side. You're having a hard time with money but if you concentrate on the two of coins and balance everything, you'll do fine.” At that point, I told Grease that I am having a hard time with money. Grease went on with the interpretation, “Judgment is coming your way to transform you and straighten everything out. The dragon is coming with his hammer to smash everything and save the day. Even if things seem bad right now, I think judgment will turn everything around for you. I have a good feeling about this card." He drew once more, “But the last card looks pretty bad though.”
“Nine of swords where the dragon is covered in dog and surrounded by those swords.," he told me, "You're stuck in limbo for the time being and short on cash. For the time being, things look bad. The nine of swords is like a situation where everything seems horrible. However, the good side is that it's upright. Which means if you panic, things will be worse. But if you keep your pony head high, you can rise above it. And trot away from these swords to a brighter future. Sooner or later, that hanging dragon will wake up, and you'll have more control of you life.”
After the tarot reading, Grease told me that his regular price is 300L.
Grease said that the best way to contact him is by email: grease711@yahoo.com or to send his avatar a notecard since IM's get capped all the times. Grease also said that they can stop by his apartment, too. Grease usually try to park his avatar at the apartment.

The tarot reading I just have was amazing. I do have other questions I would like to ask Grease. When the time is right, I hope to have another tarot reading with Grease.
