Dear Lucky Ladd!
I made some of my friends very mad at me because I had to take steps to keep them from doing something very very very stupid that could have gotten them hurt or killed. And now they won’t won’t talk to me. I know I am in the right even if they don’t think so. Will they ever understand?
Worried Wisteria
Dear Worried Wisteria,
Looks like the Five of Swords is telling you that even when you believe you did the right thing, everybody can still walk away feeling hurt. Your mates might be angry now because they only see what you stopped them from doing. They ain’t seeing what the future could have brought, if you hadn’t. It’s a warning against turning it into a battle over who was right or who was not. Just give them some time and space. Kindness is always the easier route. Regret has a way of clearing the fog once the tempers cool. Later on, they’ll start to understand your intent and what could have gone wrong. But, let them get there without another fight.
Give the swords a rest,
Lucky Ladd
Dear Lucky,
I’m wondering why magic seems so fickle? A witch who is good at one subject, yet dreadful in another. How could I get perfect marks in Transfigurations and other classes, but consistently fail Potions? Whatever I try, the cauldron seems to resent me and burns everything to a sullen sooty crisp! Is there some way to transfigure myself into a decent potions maker?

Dear Little Miss 1000 Burnt Cauldrons,
Five of Pentacles reversed shows us that the cauldron might not hate you, Mate. You might just be making things harder by trying the same things over and over again. That’s one way to get everything turned to soot, alright. This card’s message is to stop fighting the failure and let someone help. Asking a professor, nabbing a decent potions partner or figuring out exactly where things keep going topsy turvy. No need to transfigure into someone else. It’s just time to change the approach before you burn up cauldron 1001!
Try a new brew, not a new you,
Lucky Ladd
