What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
I took the test and here I am...
You are The Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.
--------------------OK - come on. We're talking about a person who is BIPOLAR!!!!!
Yes, luck can change, but sometimes?????
Here I sat thinking, "yet another web quiz that doesn't work for me because I'm bipolar." But, I decided to do a little more research, because I know NOTHING about Tarot and was intrigued. I figured if Sophie sent me to the quiz, it had to be pretty darned cool. So off I went to Wikipedia. Here's some of what I found, and now it makes more sense:
"... the most common function of this card within a reading is to introduce an element of random interference or sudden and unpredictable change in the querant's life. Several key concepts are frequently associated with the card:
- Turning point; Opportunities; Possibilities
- Destiny; Fate; Superior Forces; Movement
- Development; Activity; Surprises; Expansion
- Sudden Events; Speed; New Developments; Life Cycles
...
Symbolism in the Mythopoetic Approach
In this approach, which views the Major Arcana as a journey through life taken by the character of the Fool (the Fool being the first card, or the zero card, of the Major Arcana), the Wheel of Fortune represents the intercession of random chance into the Fool's path. The card represents the forces that can help or hinder the querant suddenly or unpredictably."
OK... Now we're talking!

ME, fairly accurate, I guess:
You are The Moon
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
You are, quite possibly and I kid you not, the most interesting person I know. When you first told me you got the Wheel of Fortune, I smiled. I remembered a bit of it from a long time ago when I had friends who were into the Tarot and it made sense, in an Internet web quiz algorithmy way.
BUT, you going and looking it up and finding the results and not taking the little blurb at face value is ALL YOU!! I'm going to hope this makes sense: I think your bipolar condition adds to you. I'm verklempt as I type that sentence, but it's true. There is a way of approaching Life - a tilt of the head as we approach Her, a furrowed brow and then a smile, closely followed by a tear of epiphany - that is the neurological dance of the way some of us bipolars are able to See our World and dance in our Lives despite the confusion that comes in at random moments.
Some are bipolar victims and give up putting in any effort to be themselves and just become their condition. But, we (I'm elevating myself to your level here) we Live and dance our own Dance. And it is my great honor to be in the same ballroom as you.
