The Moonlit Underground

Weekly Reading

When you want to do a reading for the entire week.

Method

1. Shuffle and cut the Clow Cards. Gather up the cards face-down.
2. Start from the top of the deck and flip seven cards over, surface-side up, into a straight row going from left to right. Continue doing so until you have 7 rows of cards. 49 cards are used and the remaining three will be used later. The rows correspond as follows: Monday (1), Tuesday (2), Wednesday (3), Thursday (4), Friday (5), Saturday (6), and Sunday (7).
3. If two or more cards of the same group are next to each other, remove them.
4. The less cards assigned to a day’s row, the luckier the day!
5. When a lot of cards remain in a row (bad luck), advice can be obtained. You can only do this for three days within one week, however. Place one of the remaining cards onto the row of a day of the week which you want advice for.

Example

Questioner

J is getting absorbed in the activity of the drama club, and wants to do a weekly reading to see how things will go.

Reading

Monday

One card was left: THE SHIELD. It is a good start to the week. Even if J is in a situation that’s troubling, somebody would help him.

Tuesday

Three cards were left: THE JUMP, THE WINDY, and THE RETURN. J needs to focus on the goal in a not-so greedy way. It is possible to advance, and to leap if he does so. An advice card was used: THE SNOW. Do not hold on to past failures. J should act thinking that the day is the start of something new.

Wednesday

One card was left: THE LIBRA. A day to be able to give calm judgment. If there is an important decision to make, J should do it on this day.

Thursday

The number of cards remaining is 0. It will be a lucky day.

Friday

There are two remaining cards: THE GLOW and THE LOCK. It is important to make good preparations. Something good will happen.

Saturday

The number of cards remaining is 0. It will be a lucky day.

Sunday

One card was left: THE CHANGE. Does J lose concentration easily today? He should take a deep breath before doing anything.

Compatibility Reading

For when you want to see what your compatibility is with a specific person.

Method

1. Shuffle and cut the Clow Cards while imagining the name of the person you want to do the reading for. If you want to do a reading for yourself, think of someone you’re interested in. If you want to do a reading for another couple, think of the two of them.
2. Gather the cards up so they are lying face-down. Spread the cards out face-up in a 1 card-length line, going from left to right.
3. Now, the cards are classified into 4 different groups. When 2 or more cards of the same group are side-by-side, remove them. Repeat this procedure until there are no more cards to take away.

Compatibility Rating

• 0-10 cards = considerably good compatibility
• 11-20 cards = slightly good compatibility
• 21-30 cards = normal compatibility
• 31-40 cards = compatibility is slightly bad
• 41-50 cards = compatibility is considerably bad

In the case of no remaining cards…

Best compatibility!

In the case of remaining cards…

The card at the beginning of the line of cards (the left) will show the cause of deteriorating compatibility.

The card at the end of the line of cards (the right) will show a method for a good relationship.

Example

Questioner

Ms. E, a junior high school student, is the manager of the tennis club. She foretold her compatibility with Mr. G, her senior, who is the director of the tennis club.

Reading

Because there are only 2 cards remaining, THE SHADOW & THE SHIELD, Ms. E and Mr. G are considerably compatible.

What deteriorates the compatibility of E & G (Leftmost card)

THE SHADOW is the leftmost card. This card is thought as of the cause of deteriorating compatibility, though since the number of remaining cards is 2, it’s still a very good compatibility. They both get ready to run without investigating the cause when something bad happens among them. There is also a possibility that their partnership may collapse too, when they are afraid to touch the heart of problems.

The method for E & G to have a good relationship (Rightmost card)

THE SHIELD is the rightmost card. The method for a good relationship for E & G is to value each other’s existence and to always protect each other. G will surely protect E if she also protects him. Feelings of such consideration create love and harmony between two people, and E & G’s relationship will flourish. Moreover, they can sincerely say, “thank you” without forgetting the gratitude they felt at the time.

Guest Reading

For when you want to know what your guest thinks of himself or herself.

Method

1. Cut and shuffle the Clow Cards, making sure that they are lying face-down. Spread the cards out from left to right, making sure it is a straight line with a 1 card height.
2. Have your guest pull any four cards from the line.

What each card pulled means

1. Your compatibility
2. What your guest thinks of himself or herself
3. Method to getting along well with your guest
4. A warning for you and your guest

Example

Questioner

Ms. K and Mr. I are junior high school students who are both in the same year of school, but in different classes. After joining the basketball club, they became friends. Ms. K invited Mr. I to her house to play, and so they did a Guest Reading.

Reading

The first card Mr. I pulled (compatibility)…

THE CREATE was pulled! It is a card symbolizing rich sensitivity. It is a good compatibility, with the ability to talk about ideas and feelings to each other. In addition, since they can talk to each other with such ease, they may end up in a relationship.

The second card Mr. I pulled (what he thinks of himself)…

THE STORM was pulled! It symbolizes a person of intense emotions. Or possibly vice-versa, Ms. K wants to be more assertive and desirous. Well, either might be true feelings.

The third card Mr. I pulled (method to get along with him)…

THE LOOP was pulled! It points out that if Ms. K and Mr. I sympathize with gentle feelings, they will be able to deepen their connection. It is a very important thing, even though it is natural. They should consider it mutually in broad-minded, bright feelings so as not to fight over trivial matters and ruin their friendship.

The fourth card Mr. I pulled (warning)…

THE LOCK was pulled! They will probably talk about each other’s secrets at one point. They must take the utmost care to not gossip these secrets to others. If they do, it will discredit them, and the relation between them might become awkward as a result.

Example

Questioner

The third semester has ended, and U (a junior high student) is now enjoying spring vacation. U wants to change herself a little before the new school term in April starts. U longs for a little more lively personality, but what should she do?

Reading

U’s personality (as perceived by others) is symbolized by THE SWEET in position 1. Surrounding people see U as having a cheerful personality.

THE SLEEP in position 2 represents U’s true personality. This means that U is very calm and ordinary.

U’s current problem is shown by THE LITTLE in position 3. Because of THE SLEEP appearing, U, with her calm personality, would like to change a little bit.

The solution is presented in position 4: THE FLOWER. This card expresses that U should act with assurance and positive feelings.

The key / key person that will help with solving U’s problem is represented by THE LOOP in position 6. It would be good if U cherishes ties she has with a lot people.

THE THUNDER is in position 5 (obstacle), which in this situation stands for gushing out selfish feelings to others. The people supporting U should increase if she do not lose sight of herself.

In position 7 (warning) is THE LOCK, it notes that when U chats for too long she will lose one’s trust.

With THE WATERY in position 8 (resulting situation), U can discover herself anew and will be able to understand feelings of other people well. She will mature into a cooperative person.

In position 9 is THE CREATE, which advises that U act according to intuition and not by stereotyping.

Speed Reading

For when you want to do a quick reading to discover the cause and solution to a problem.

Method:

1. Cut and shuffle the Clow Cards, making sure that they are lying face-down. Count 13 cards from the top of the deck and place the 13th card into position 1.
2. Count 13 more cards from the remaining deck and place the 13th card into position 2. Count another 13 cards from the deck, and place that 13th card into position 3. Count another 13 cards from the the deck, and place that 13th card into position 4.

What each card in their respective positions means:

1. The Cause
2. The Past Situation
3. The Current Situation
4. The Solution

Example

Questioner

A has recently returned to her previous school. It was T, who was in the neighboring seat that called out to her and told her that this was the first time she had visited Japan since she began living abroad. Afterwards, A and T went out for shopping and a movie, but there was an awkward atmosphere that did exist before. Why is it that T is cold and distant?

Reading

THE EARTHY in position 1 (cause) shows that A should be careful to refrain from egocentric thoughts. A is content with T’s good nature, and may gradually get carried away.

THE LIBRA in position 2 (past situation) shows that the best decisions were chosen, and that T chose to make friends with A. The compatibility of A and T must be very good though, even if it seems awkward now in reality.

In position 3 (current situation) is THE BUBBLES, which can cleanly resolve worries and problems. A should reflect on this, being humble instead of showing off. Surely A can return to being the good friend she used to be.

Courage is needed when wanting reconciliation. THE ARROW, in position 4 (solution),is a card that can reach the goal by moving positively. “I’m sorry” is not an easy thing to say, at times. However, it’s a phrase that can solve many problems. If A borrows the power that THE ARROW card has, A will be able to convey her humble feelings.
