This was done before we got all these spoilers and things - halfway through January.
I found this really hard to interpret. It was pretty clear once I actually worked it out, but dude, these tarot cards are mysterious buggers.
Knight of Swords as significator - (male, over 40 [Cas is millennia old, duh], general appearance was hard to place, as dark hair so rarely goes with blue eyes. I chose a Court card rather than a Major Arcana (which as an angel may have been more appropriate) but seeing as we don’t even know if Cas is still properly alive, let alone an angel, I figured lumping him in with the humans wouldn’t be all bad.)
Compare with Dean’s reading.
*
Card 1 - covers (atmosphere)
VIII of pentacles
work, employment, commission, craftsmanship, skill in craft and business, perhaps in the preparatory stage
Read: He’s busy
*
Card 2 - crosses (obstacles)
III of wands, reversed
The end of troubles, suspension of cessation of adversity, toil and disappointment

*
Card 3 - crowns (best to be achieved under the circumstances)
IX of swords
imprisonment, suspicion, doubt, reasonable fear, shame
Read: Odds of success don’t look good
*
Card 4 - beneath (in the past, foundation of matter)
IX of wands, reversed
obstacles, adversity, calamity
Read: It took a lot to get him here
*
Card 5 - behind (past)

Card 6 - before (future)
Page of Pentacles, reversed
Wastefulness, dissipation and squandering, generosity, unfortunate news
Read: He’s going to give something up or give something away unnecessarily
*
Card 7 - himself (his attitude in these matters)
VII of wands, reversed
Perplexity, embarrassments, anxiety. (Also caution against indecision.)

Truth, loyalty, liberty; may include mistakes and imperfections etc.

Making the beer disappear from the bottle while Dean’s holding it - and putting Dean to sleep when he’s sitting with the weird guy doing surveillance. (Watch that scene again, if you don’t believe me. Dean is sitting up, he’s alert, not sleepy, and right after they mention how Dean can’t sleep,…
