Position 9 - KING of CUPS
Hopes and fears, or alternately, a dream, an ideal, a secret desire; what I'm avoiding, or a personal demon. Perhaps this position shows my expectations, a lesson or explanation, a suggested best course of action or change, or a "missing piece of the puzzle." The King of Cups is emotionally calm, wise, caring, diplomatic, and patient. "Gives good advice," one book says. Well, I certainly hope for good advice, but on another level am also a little afraid of reaching out for help.
He is also the personification of composure and sensitivity, so I might understand more if the card in this spot were a pentacle card, or somehow represented finances. I'm somewhat terrified of being homeless again, and I still have most of my belongings in storage. I'd like to think that I'm emotionally balanced, but perhaps I just suppress my feelings. The keyword "overresponsibility" has meaning, and I suppose I do fear having to take care of too much or too many, as well as making sacrifices of myself for long periods of time. Maybe this card is just telling me that the best way to proceed is with composure.
Position 10 - THE CHARIOT
"Meet the graduate," says Paul Quinn's book. Well that sounds promising! Pursuing or completing a goal, overcoming obstacles, staying on track, commencement. This position represents a possible or probably outcome, and "may indicate quantifiable events such as...graduations," victory, self-assertion, etc. I would love for the outcome of my query to be an increase in will and self-confidence. Given that this card represents victory or success, and position 10 indicates how I might "succeed or fail"--or where things are going/how I will end up feeling--I'd say that's probably a good sign. It could also be a quality I will come to realize. You can never underestimate the importance of some nice, solid self-esteem.

Closing Thoughts:
It appears that the cards are revealing a path forward marked with diligence, hard-work, loan applications, fortuitousness, and ultimately, success. I will have to maintain mindfulness of my proclivity for time-wasting and school-avoidance when and if I fall behind. I'm definitely a world-class procrastinator, and that's something I really need to get a handle on. The presence of so many reversed cards also makes me more aware that some of my scholastic energies might be blocked or interrupted. Having said that, this spread, at least, seems to think I can do it, and that's certainly encouragement I'll gladly take.
