I pulled the Sun, the Hierophant, 8 of wands. Fire, earth, fire. Starting in the center and feeling the neutral modification of the other two cards, I get: Faithfully following my Tarot studies and learning established traditions (like the elemental dignities here) will lead me to success and happiness as I experience a fast burst of forward progress in my Tarot reading abilities. 😊
