boo

really...mostly i just want to know the likelihood i will get this specific house

hi Gabby,

I'm no expert but I'll try to help you out. Maybe you'll be able to identify with some of the cards as I go along.

"How likely am I to get the home on East 5th Avenue that I'm wanting"
Interesting I pulled all swords; the ace of swords reversed, the king of swords, and the 4 or swords. Most of the cards in the suit of swords depict some sort of aloneness. Is anyone helping you to get this house? Whether finantially or otherwise? Or perhaps you are just feeling alone in this situation. I get that you are the king of swords trying to be calm and rational but are also a bit frustrated because you feel that this is not fair to you (ace of swords reversed). someone in this situation could be lying to you or treating you unfairly. Just try to take it slow and think through to the solution. As far as I can see here it looks like the home that you are wanting may come but there will be a lot of uncertainty and also a long period of waiting before you will know anything about it.

"what should I do bargaining-wise to make it more likely for me to get it?"
I pulled the 8 of pentacles , the tower reversed, and the 2 of wands reversed. The 8 of pentacles really stands out for me. If its a matter of not having the money to afford this house you should increase your hours of work until you get it. And pay attention to any advice you may be getting from a finantial advisor or someone in real estate, they could have important advice to offer you. But most of all don't get to caught up in all that could go wrong or what you don't want to happen. Don't let others dominate you (2 of wands r). Just focus on what you want and make steps in that direction and it will come to you.

"should I make that my *first* offer"
I pulled the Empress (r), 3 of cups, and the fool (r). If you feel that you are asking a lot of these other people or being too extravegant then yes you should hold back. Even though the empress is reversed it could lead to a promising outcome but in some way it may be blocked. If you do hold this as your first offer they may be apprehensive at first but I think things will turn out to your advantage. They'll come around.

I asked if the other bidder (or the previous owner of the house, im not sure which) would cooperate with you and I pulled the 6 of cups. They are probably generous people who want to help you.

I asked if things would turn out to your advantage in the end. I pulled the 4 of wands (r), the queen or swords(r), and the sun (r). Gabby, just know that when its all said and done you will be happy with the results. I'm not sure that you'll get exactly what you want but you will be celebrating some kind of sucess in the end.

I hope this reading helped let me know if I was terribly off, and I wish you the best with this new house.
