By popular demand! Fortune's Wheelhouse brings you a readings episode that illustrates how the correspondences are applied in real time when reading a card. Esoteric tarot reading is both an art and a science, in which the correspondences form a support for the intuitive oracular moment. We put out a call for questions from Fortune's Wheelhouse patrons, and we are happy to say that we were able to read for every patron who submitted a question. However, we had to split the episode into two separate parts in order to do so. We assigned every question a number, and used a random number generator to select the order in which we took the questions. If your question wasn't addressed in this episode, Part 2, it was addressed in the last installment, Part 1, which was released September 25th, 2019.  Finally, thank you to all the loyal Patrons who submitted their questions - you are superheroes of the astral realm!
