patricidedPeriodically I will do tarot readings for Lady in her current game and record them below in the comments. For the sake of uniformity they will always be in the Celtic Cross spread. This is partially for myself to track what cards come up most frequently for her and determine associations between cards and her close CR.

Meaning
Magician: At present, Lady desires new activity, action, interaction. She wants to go a new direction and follow a new path than she was prior to Vows. She's no longer satisfied with the path she was following and something needs to change.
Page of Pentacles: The challenge is she lacks the financial ability to follow her desire. She wants a career and unfortunately in Ryslig hunting monsters/demons really isn't going to pay very well ever since she'd be hunting people she knows well or have connections to people she knows well. So she needs to find a new niche for her particular skills to fill.
Six of Wands (Reversed): Distant past. This card is a complete reference to her anger at her father and what he did to both her and her mother. She made rash decisions on who she could or couldn't trust and it nearly cost her her revenge. Even in the months since she arrived in Ryslig she's clung to the last vestiges of that anger to keep distance between herself and the handful of people that could potentially help her.
Eight of Cups (Reversed): Recent Past. Vows. It was terrible on her. Not only did she lack the control to ignore the compulsion to kill the person whose name she wore on her hand, she murdered a child with the same cold ease she dusted Hell Prides and Lusts back home. She doesn't have the energy to deal with any coming emotional strain and is thus avoiding talking about what happened during those few days wherever possible.
King of Pentacles (Reversed): Best Outcome. The best I get out of the card is that her best outcome is if she continues to ignore the problems at hand and carry on despite wanting to begin anew.
Page of Wands: Immediate Future. Potential to take action to achieve at least part of her desires. Maybe she'll move out, maybe she'll talk about Vows. Who knows but there is potential in her immediate future if she will just step up and grasp it.
Justice: Factors Affecting Her Situation. A need for balance. She keeps so much to herself and within herself that it's very possible that her doing so it putting walls between her and people actively trying to help her. Most easily a reference to her conversation with Vergil where she is only giving him bits and pieces about why she's moping as opposed to just talking about it. At the same time Lady is aware she needs someone to judge her for murdering Yuya. It isn't something she can get away with like she did when it came to killing Arkham. Arkham's death was deserved, Yuya's was not.
King of Wands: External Influences. Dante.
Ten of Swords (Reversed): Hopes and Fears. Stagnation and lack of change to her problems. She hasn't gained new ones, but her old problems have not achieved resolution and have remained as they were.
Nine of Swords (Reversed): Final Outcome. No change, thus it is time to make change in order to grow and gain experience and wisdom.
