Dear Lilacbreeze,I asked for one card, but drew another 3 for clarity. Every card was a major arcana card, so whatever happens will have far-reaching effects for you.
Just to explain, with each card drawn for clarity the influence is diluted, so I will list them in order from the biggest influence to the least.
Tower - Magician - Fool - Empress
At first glance at the Tower, we could surmise this may not actually go ahead, but I think it will, at some point.
It looks like your presence will shock or shake up the family structures and traditions. You may not be what they expected and they may not be what you expected. Acceptance may not be given immediately, you may feel you have to complete some trials before being fully embraced by the family. It may be that the family is actually in a state of discord at present and so this may not be the best time to be entering their sphere from one perspective, from another perspective, it will yield important lessons for all, which some believe are better learned sooner rather than later. However it goes, the effects of this meeting should have a huge impact on you, or the family, or both.
It seems you will handle this with coolheadedness and poise. *You* will not appear shaken, even if you are. You may actually have the opportunity to step in and offer some much needed solutions or remedies, to showcase a talent for mediating, and therein may be how you pass the first test. Some things may be said without thinking, some careless remarks. You may find the family a bit more "gung ho" than you expected. This links nicely with the Tower, as without thinking through or planning, chaos often ensues. This may be a warning to you also, to make sure you consider deeply what you are saying, thinking, doing and even wearing when you go. Be sure to present the image that you want to be perceived as, as this first impression will be a powerful one (all major arcana cards). The Fool may also be indicating that you may not be sure if you are ready for this level of commitment - you, yourself, may be the one who pulls out of this for this reason.
I get the feeling this is a matriarchal-type family, if so, it is the females who's acceptance you would benefit from. There may be a light air of superficiality that you struggle to relate to, but this is a weak influence and shouldn't be too much of a problem. I think you will be perceived well in the end, but there may be clear differences in values, appearance, lifestyles, or personalities initially, leading to some struggles in understanding and a feeling of not really belonging. This should improve over time, should you continue with this relationship.
*** This was actually a very difficult reading for me for some reason. Perhaps it is because of the uncertainty of it going ahead, or perhaps because so many factors and personalities make up a "family" that it's quite hard to capture this in a basic reading. Then again, sometimes a reading is just difficult to interpret.
I hope it goes well, if it goes!
