cosmolove89 | For the past few days, I've noticed a friend acting strangely. I decided to pull some cards, and I got 6 of wands, 7 of swords, and reversed 9 of swords. This seems kind of powerful, though no major arcana cards are involved. I see a lack of trust here -- not sure if it means I shouldn't trust this person, or if the person is feeling that way toward ME. The vibe has definitely been weird. almost elusive. I don't think I'm being paranoid here. Especially with Venus going retrograde soon, while in its shadow phase. Any insight? |
Randall | Do you read reversed? Some people don't. |
cosmolove89 | I do. |
Randall | Cool. |
Emsie | Normally, I don't read reversed cards, but in this case right next to that 7 of Swords I immediately get the impression, that you're right, it is NOT all in your head, but your hunches must be right. 7 of Swords is mostly a warning sign. I often get it when friends... ehm... people acting to be my friends talk sh*t behind my back, having hidden motives, jealousy, envy, etc. 9 of Swords is often the "paranoid" card, when thinking about negative stuff gets overwhelming. Being reversed, I think those swords are falling off the wall, which can mean that thinking or overthinking is unnecessary in the situation, because you already know the facts. When I smell that something is not right - be it behaviour or even the whole atmosphere - then I am always right. c: |
Emsie | As I currently can't edit any posts, I just wanted to add one more question. Seeing 6 of Wands - Have you gotten any promotion and/or have you been highly successful in something recently? Because success very often draws hidden/nor so hidden enemies, and if your answer is a major yes, then the message is pretty clear to become very cautious, and perhaps to do some Spring cleaning in your group of friends. |
Randall | I concur. This reverse appears to be no coincidence. |
cosmolove89 | I appreciate your responses. It definitely seems like a warning of some sort. I have not been promoted, though this person works with me. I'd asked the day after how I made his particular person feel, and I drew: 8 of wands, 10 of pentacles, 10 of cups. So, who knows? Very odd. THis hand is exactly opposite of the other hand. |
Randall | Watch your back just to be safe. |
Randall | Check for knives (swords) in it. |
Randall | In your back, I mean...but not literally. |
cosmolove89 | Haha! I understand what you're saying. Definitely being cautious about my surroundings. |
cosmolove89 | Interestingly enough, the person in question was out of the office for a few days afterward. Today, all seemed pretty normal. |
Emsie | I guess they needed some downtime. Now I can see how the 7 of Swords can mean escapism as well. Reminds me of my own life every day |
Randall | |
Randall | Escapism I can understand. |
Randall | For me, it's sleep. |
Emsie | I can totally understand, I'm probably in a very close relationship with my own bed, haha I slept half of my Tuesday away instead of sitting at the uni yesterday! |
Randall | Sometimes you need it in order to recharge. |
Randall | Or a bubble bath. |
Randall | Or a nap in a bubble bath! |
cosmolove89 | Just wanted to an update. For research purposes wanted to reveal what the cards had been trying to communicate with me. I didn't find out until months later, but found out this person in question above, spread lies about me to my coworkers. Another coworker I grew close to asked me one day if this rumor she heard was true, and it surprised me. |
