For my own mental notes. Kon was giving Luppi a streetside reading. I used to do this when I was in Hawai'i, on the beach, to make some extra cash. Yeah, I'm terrible. :3

Ace of wands as an indicator means that the tone of this reading was expression, and that the meanings interpretted should be viewed as having some relation to expanding possibilities creatively.
Or maybe just oil-painted Jesuses.
Ace of cups as an obstacle (reversed) suggests an inability to empathize with others and that this could provide an obstacle. However, a reversed Queen of Cups suggests it may not be an obstacle to NOITRA but people Noitra knows. This card in this placement shows that Noitra turns away emotional or empathic advances with negative or abusive emotions and enjoys doing so. Queen of Swords reversed in the recent past suggests that Noitra has recently decieved somebody, perhaps by not telling them the truth about himself or perhaps by not putting all his proverbial cards on the table. This works out for Noitra, however, since his goals are to gain and use resources for his own gain, Queen of Pentacles suggests.
He should be careful, though. The Ten of Swords suggests a coming 'bottoming out.' Where do you go when you've hit a bottom you have nowhere to go but up, Noi? What will you do?
Queen of Wands says you'll use confidence and sex to work your way out of it. Ten of Wands says you'll probably do just this, but you'll have to work hard to make it all work.
She also says no means no.
