tarot cards prompt table

THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW CLAIMS

The theme is The Tarot, and you can interpret the prompts as loosely or as literally as you like – there's no restrictions at all on how you use them for inspiration. We've used the Major Arcana, so if there's any prompts that really don't do anything for you, you can (within reason, obviously) substitute a few different tarot cards of your own choosing.

TABLE

1.	The Magician - A sudden solution, as if by magic - but it may be just an illusion.
2.	The High Priestess - Secrets and hidden circumstances stand in the way and need to be understood.
3.	The Empress - The gentle power that still rules, almost unnoticed and rarely opposed.
4.	The Emperor - You're up against real power, so yield or suffer the consequences.
5.	The Hierophant - The dependency on approval from an elevated dignity.
6.	The Lovers - Deeply felt mutual attraction - for as long as it lasts.
7.	The Chariot - Triumph - but beware of its consequences at length.
8.	Strength - Strength of a kind that's superior because of its clever application.
9.	The Hermit - The lesson and reward, but also misfortune, of solitude.
10.	Wheel of Fortune - An uncertain outcome, with an aftermath to be carefully considered.
11.	Justice - Justice without a blindfold is not always fair.
12.	The Hanged Man - Great personal sacrifice that still doesn't hurt much.
13.	Death - A costly loss - sometimes, but not always, the death of someone.
14.	Temperance - Moderation in all is ultimate persistence.
15.	The Devil - The pain and delight of giving in to temptation.
16.	The Tower - A spectacular ambition that ends with disaster.
17.	The Star - Time to pause and reflect, contemplate what's precious and what's not.
18.	The Moon - Longing for the sake of longing, and the hope of fulfillment.
19.	The Sun - Great resources at your disposal, but constrain yourself since it's possible to have too much.
20.	Judgement - Ultimate judgement, whether we welcome it or not.
21.	The World - Success in anything worldly, but not for free.
0.	The Fool - Blissful carelessness, the power of ignorance.
