I had a tarot reading the other day, the first one in the past seven-eight years, perhaps. This tarot was special because the cards are from wayang characters and gave me new insight about life and myself in general. So I got this Pergiwa-Pergiwati as my main character card. I had never thought of these characters before, but now I do. These girls are twin daughters of Arjuna, whose guardian is Bathara Baruna (God of Seas) and turned out it is quite similar to my horoscope sign: Pisces (twin fishes).


Pergiwa is faithful, gracious, patient, quiet and always polite, and finally married Gatotkaca, son of Wrekudara (Bima). Pergiwati is loyal, honest, restful, quiet, always polite, easy to love and not easily offended, and she married Raden Pancawala, son of Puntadewa (Yudhistira). Both are indeed (more or less) the traits of Pisces women.

So, just like the twins, I have two choices in life, to be more of Pergiwa or Pergiwati. I would have to choose between Gatotkaca or Pancawala--just like the case I've been dealing with lately. The next cards I drew were all related to Mahabharata epic, either by coincidence or not (but I believe in the power of tarot, so for me it was not), and got an Arjuna-Banowati (and Gunungan/surprise) card for a choice (which should be a match) and Wrekudara card for the other choice.

I was so glad to get the Gunungan card, not just that it contains surprise, but actually a hidden treasure beneath

I guess I'll stick to my Arjuna-Banowati cards (choice) for they're already a match. As how their love story went, I know my life would not be that easy, but just like their true love, I'll live it with inner peace and comfort in my heart. So I know, I'll be just okay. By the way, tarot is not something reliable, but good to know for comparison or explanation of something you're dealing with that you can't solve alone. You can have it "just for fun" and discover how true it could relate to your problems!
