Thank you for that link... I was having some concerns over what I should do about this new-found talent I seem to have. Although now that I look at it for what it is I am beginning to see that it was a talent I always had. I had always been intrigued by the idea of story-telling. Using ideas, plot, and the power of performance to communicate genuinely human and emotionally significant themes and presence. And wanted to know if I should more actively pursue a career in soap opera writing.
Time is rather critical for soap opera writing right now, as the writers strike is beginning to make it more difficult to keep up the daily performance of such shows. But here is the response I got from the website.
Card #1: Root of the Question
Doorway (Divine #10)
The Doorway is a 'lucky break,' a possibility for advancement, the potential for partnerships, love, wealth, discovery. Unfortunately, it is easy to overlook such a doorway, seeing merely pillars instead. The warning is: Look around. You are not seeing the entranceway to something better. See beyond the obvious--stretch the mind, and more will be revealed!
Card #2: Immediate Past
Ivy (Mental #8)
The subject of the reading or the questioner is desperately clinging for survival. There is a fear of independence at work. By sinking roots in borrowed soil, others in the situation are being weakened. Ivy, while it grabs on for support, eventually destroys its host. Tiny roots can break apart even the strongest stone and mortar. Blunt honesty is required from those being so compromised. They need to stand apart from those who cling, although this should be done with compassion. If you are the one who is using others as a crutch, it's time to be brave and innovative, to risk failure, or success.
Card #3: Immediate Future
Amity (Social #1)
Amity means friendship, and it is to friends and family members that the you must now turn to for advice and guidance. Amity is a card of light; this seeking out of others can be a positive experience. Not only will you gain much needed information on your current project or situation, but it can strengthen the bond of amity by demonstrating a trust of your friend and respect for their insights. Don't hesitate to utilize those closest to you as a resource; they will feel necessary and welcomed in your life. Can also mean new contacts, friends or backers.
Card #4: Outside Forces
Haven (Social #10)
This card is a harbinger of false hopes. There is an unfounded sense of security at work here, a self delusion that has to be rectified before its too late. You may believe that the worst is over. You have weathered the storm. However, this is merely the eye of the tempest. The worst is yet to come. Do not be caught unaware lest disaster befall you.
Card #5: Hopes and Fears.
Karma (Emotion #4)
This is a card of balance and Karma. All the injustices that have plagued the situation are on the verge of rectification. Persons involved will be reaping what they have sewn, for good or ill. This can also be a card of favorable court decisions, fair settlements, and the positive resolution of other legal matters. In everyday situations, individuals finally receive their fair share of recognition, assistance, attention or praise. As balance is restored, be prepared for good things taking wing.

Card #6: Final Outcome
Sacrifice (Emotion #11)
Sacrifice is a card of martyrdom. You have taken things to the extreme and are now a prisoner of your own drama. Whether you have actually given everything to 'the cause' or to others, or whether you've merely convinced yourself that you have, you are now caught in the loop of self-absorption and self-pity. Beware: better to give less with a happy heart than to give everything begrudgingly or purely out of a sense of duty. May also indicate an individual with bi-polar tendencies. Counseling (mental or spiritual) may be a necessary avenue to regain balance and perspective. In extremes, Sacrifice can be a sign of fanaticism.
