Dear Velvet,

Will I be happy with the car I am considering buying?  Am not sure what to ask, so I hope this is okay.
Thank you,
Ed

Dear Ed,

Your question is just fine for the Tarot.  It's all about finding answers from the simplest to the most complex issues in life and uncovering the potentials and possibilities that may lie ahead.

The Reversed Ten of Bases comes up to help you with your question about whether you would be happy with this car purchase.  In the upright position, we would be looking at a "winning streak" in the situation . . . but this card appears reversed and shows that buying this card may be far from what feels like a winning streak to you.  This car, for whatever reason, might not offer you the stability and security that you need.  It may prove to be unreliable in a very short time.  Chances are you would be paying a lot more for this mode of transportation than it is actually worth when you consider the strong possibility that there will be a number of repairs to make on it -- some being quite costly.

The Reversed Ten of Bases tells me that you're not likely to be in the best of moods soon after buying this car.  The frustration can also end up creating quarrels with the people you care about.  Of course the decision is yours, Ed . . . but based on the energy of this reversed card, you might want to consider this further before making a decision for it.  It would likely be in your best interests to do some more shopping around to see what else you can find that might bring you more overall satisfaction when it comes to this kind of a purchase.

Good luck to you!
