I can’t tell if the cards are telling me my intuition is wrong
So for context I was in a car accident about a month ago, it’s been a mess trying to get in contact with the insurance people and get answers. I also haven’t had the proverbial spoons to deal with it.
I got a quote for the damages a day after the accident at shop ‘X’, it was about $9,100. Well once the insurance claim was started and added to that quote, it dropped to $5,800. With the first quote it would’ve been totaled, with the second there’s a lower chance of that happening. I almost want it to be? Also I’m a bit grossed out that they would lower the price that much if being paid by insurance vs by one person, I understand they contract and cut deals because of that but still.
There is a different shop that my dad recommends, shop ‘Y’, but they don’t have an appointment for at least 2 weeks and they have about half a star less in reviews. My intuition is telling me to go to shop Y, but I also just have anxiety and this whole process I’ve been getting different answers from different people. I’m so tired, I’ve already got an appointment at X and could have it over with sooner. I don’t know if Y also contracts. I don’t trust anything, but there is an internal pull that I should take it to shop Y.
So I decided to see if a reading would help and Im now just more confused due to a few cards in each answer. I used Ethereal Visions Illuminated Tarot Deck by Matt Hughes. I let the cards jump out, and they decided to give me 4 for each this time.
The questions & cards
What will come from taking my car to ‘X’ shop? The Devil, Page of Pentacles, Five of Wands - Reversed, Five of Pentacles - Reversed
What will come from taking my car to ‘Y’ shop? High Priestess - Reversed, Page of Swords, Nine of Pentacles - Reversed, Six of Pentacles
From my interpretation, it seems like shop X is correct/fine? Except The Devil leads me to believe that this is taking the easy way out, following bad habits. Though the cards following it seem like the opposite? Page of Pentacles symbolizing setting up good habits. Five of Wands reversed seems to stand for the end of stress, based on the cards next to it. Five of Pentacles reversed being the worst of it being over and having the ability to slowly rebuild.
For the second question, having the reversed High Priestess seems like “trust your intuition, you’re missing something” which makes me think I definitely shouldn’t go to the first shop, but this card was pulled for shop Y, not for X. With the addition of Page of Swords saying “ask questions with people who know more” both seem to point me in the same direction. But the Nine of Pentacles reversed after that again seems like the exact opposite, that it’ll be overstretching me either financially or mentally. Plus right after that the Six of Pentacles makes me feel like I’ll receive what I need. It seems very contradictory.
I’m still pretty new to tarot interpretation, so there’s also a good chance that I am just not reading these right or not asking the right questions. Any input is appreciated. Thank you!!
