Continued from here.
Arguably, life gets a little more interesting in houses 7-12. That might just be my generalized bias towards life. I think that 7-12 are where we find most of the good shit.
7) Partnership: XV - The Devil
My current approach, when I think a card could be about any of eighteen things in my life, is just to assume it's about all of them. (The major question for this house is who? More on that later.) And for all of my drama with The Devil, I think I am getting a bit more comfortable with the kinds of things he means, for me at least.

sacred (a statement of belief)
"Into the thump of the now with the juice of the yes dripping off the chin of the yum." - Mark Morford
"My point is, when I gasp "oh God, oh God" during sex, I'm not kidding." - The Pervocracy
"How is it different with me?", he asked, which is something almost no one asks. I had told him that I tend to see life through the lenses of relationships, of the important people in my life. This particular relationship was a poorly-conceived and terribly executed bit of (not-at-all harmless) fun. My answer sounds almost silly, looking back, but it was very true.
"I notice the sky," I said.
We were explicitly temporary. No pretense about the possible future, no room for that. We were a series of beautiful, transient moments, nothing more. A lovely storm cloud of a relationship.
(I know it really seems like this post is going to be all about sex, but I promise it isn't.)

monthly forecast time! (part 1)
In case you're wondering (you aren't, but it's cool) I did do a reading last month. It sat on my altar the whole time waiting to be decoded. I never got around to it.
I could sit here and tell you that I was too busy and just never got around to it - and there is such a thing as so busy that you do not have one free hour the whole month, but I was not that busy. What is more relevant is that the reading was kind of terrible, and I was feeling sort of terrible already, and I didn't really want to think about it. I was just getting through the terrible. (It's definitely not the case that everything about it sucked, but, well, we'll get to that in a minute.
However, this month's reading rocks, so I am going to post it at my first opportunity, when I should actually be doing something else.
