So a guy "D" and I have a strange up-and-down type of rapport/attraction, and I can't quite get a handle on if his intentions are basically good or not. My tarot readings have been completely confusing, almost like he has a split personality or something! For example, I get Knight of Wands reversed when I ask what he's really like, and Ace of Cups for what he wants out of our relationship. Does anyone have any insight into this or could you please pull a couple cards? I'd be happy to provide a reading in return though I must admit I am a rank beginner. Thanks!IP: Logged |

That it is up and down makes sense if he is represented by knight wands rev. This knight is restless and unfocussed. He needs this up and down thing emotionwise to have his 'fix' against boredom (and to see what else is on offer). Once he has something, he wants something else and when it is gone he wants it again. It actually suits that he wants the ace of cups as well (ultimate high on emotional level). He is not the type of man for commitment. IP: Logged |

Thanks for your interpretation of the Ace of Cups, Twirl. That makes total sense. Unfortunately, I think I'm just enough like him to find him really attractive. However, my intuition & other readings suggest that a relationship w/him would be a bad idea. I can't seem to disengage from him though. Our synastry has a pluto-venus DW, mars conjunct venus, venus trine venus, lust opp lust 0 deg, and just enough neptune to suggest that there could be something more than animalistic desires & total obsession....Anyway, I'd be more than happy to do a reading for you if you'd like.

Welcome.
If he is knight wands rev. he certainly is not going to bring you what you wish for... There's always a choice you can make in signing on or off for this experience. Regardless of aspects in horoscopes.
Thanks for your kind reading offer, but it's okay. Perhaps someone else will like one?
Good luck with everything  IP: Logged |

Thanks for the dose of reality, Twirl. I needed that! Yesterday I drew some cards suggesting that I'd feel a lot better if I let go of any hope of having a meaningful romantic relationship with this guy, so that's what I did, and it worked. The irony is that when I first met him, I thought that we came together to help each other in some way (I later discovered that we have amor conjunct Chiron exact dw in synastry). Maybe that was just an illusion on my part, though. Now when I ask how he would feel about us being just friends, I'm getting all icky swords (2 swords R, Page Swords R, 3 swords R). And how we should approach each other, the fool and the hanged man. We'll see what happens!IP: Logged |

Welcome.
Probably can't stand it if he is not getting things his way (at the very least).
Wish you luck and if you want the romantic outlook on your meeting: remember you don't know what you were supposed to learn. Might very well be the lesson of choosing what is right and enhancing for you instead of choosing something difficult and possibly devastating...

Funny you should say that, Twirl. A couple weeks ago I started writing a story based on this relationship to diffuse some of the energy. One of the things I wrote was that the main female character (ie, me) had a mistaken belief that love wasn't real unless it was almost impossible to attain. Thanks for bringing this up, because this seems to be an issue in some of my other (less conflicted but still turbulent) relationships too. Good luck with your endeavors as a counselor. I'm sure you'll do great!IP: Logged |

Thanks for pointing that out Empress. Edit: I had a go at it and found every single card was reversed. What are the chances of that occurring! The messages amounted to trauma, to say the least. Oh Lord!!! IP: Logged |

Wow, I love it when personal patterns come to the surface through writing. It's such an excellent tool to create insight. If you are aware of this already, I'm sure you will over time start working with it, because one you see it, it's really impossible to 'put in back in the box' so to speak...
And thanks, I'm right in the middle of a major work transformation (Death card so to speak ;-). Trying to combine skills from my original profession (writing) with counseling & readings. Will have to see where it all ends up. Might take me a while to get there, but I really love to start working with people 1 on 1 more
Good luck and please update when it is clear how it worked out for you IP: Logged |

Writing the event as a "lightly fictionalized" version has been really helpful because it provides just enough distance to put myself into the reader's mind. Sometimes this ends up being quite funny, like when I see the relationship from the outside and think to myself, "why would this girl fall for such a loser, especially when she so *obviously knows* he would not give her what she is looking for?" and then I have to dig deep for the answers!I already feel like I've progressed so far in the past week, though of course time will tell for sure. I began to realize that I saw this guy as a symbol embodying the career success that I wanted for myself, and I was misdirecting all my energy towards him instead of outwards towards my own goals. Once I let go of him, I could see this very clearly. Also, my readings of his impressions of me were illuminating (somewhat surprisingly), and I realized that regardless of what I choose to do, being more positive and helpful towards others is a big first step. Ironically, as successful as this guy is outwardly, inwardly he is very self-critical and afraid of failure (and the Ace of Cups showed up again as one of his stumbling blocks...so you were right Twirl). Anyway, it's interesting that you are combining writing w/counseling. What type of writing did you do? For what it's worth, I pulled the 9 of Pents for you! IP: Logged |

Thanks! I'm very pleased with the 9 of pents It also showed up in an earlier reading done on this topic  This: I already feel like I've progressed so far in the past week, though of course time will tell for sure. I began to realize that I saw this guy as a symbol embodying the career success that I wanted for myself, and I was misdirecting all my energy towards him instead of outwards towards my own goals. Once I let go of him, I could see this very clearly. I think is a great way of looking at it. Gives you so much insight and the opportunity to work on it I do combine other disciplines and studied creative writing tools as an extra and write poetry (just for me, lol) But generally I am too impatient to build up a story line for a fictional book, hinting on what's gong on, etc., because for me it's an opposite way of writing. Would love to hear any updates on how it ends up with mr. knight rev. Bye IP: Logged |

Ah, that's interesting about your background. My characters are based on people I know and situations they've been in, just extrapolated further in ways that test or reveal their true selves. There's no way that I could dream up people as strange or interesting as the ones that are already in my life (truth really is stranger than fiction...as you know!).Anyway, i'll update when i see Knight W R again...which might be next week. Continued good luck! IP: Logged |

Oops, accidentally quoted instead of editingAnd yes, truth is often stranger and by no means has a storyline which is easily explained and where it all 'fits', lol. Ty for good luck wishes. Same to you IP: Logged |

Update: I saw Knight of Wands Reversed today and it was a total disaster. The full story is that I have a boyfriend, and I told him awhile ago that I was attracted to this other guy (who's married). At the beginning of our relationship we had made an agreement to be honest with each other about things like this, and I wanted to honor that (plus BF and I have been going through a lot of problems over the past 1.5 yrs and we've considered breaking up several times, so things between us have been tense to begin with). Well, about a week ago I told bf that I felt like I was over KWR and had done readings about it to get answers & insights. When KWR showed up today (during a sport that we all participate in), at first I was a little excited to see him, but I kept chanting to myself "K. of W. reversed...Depraved love of chaos!!" I managed to ignore him, but he approached me 2x when he realized this. I exchanged a couple pleasantries with him (which is the fastest way to get rid of him...he hates small talk!) and he moved away. Meanwhile, my bf was getting ****** at the fact I was interacting with him at all, and every time I approached him (my bf) he moved further away from me. Bf left the area before I did and when I reached the parking lot, our vehicle wasn't there (he was trying to make me think he had stranded me). I walked around to make sure he wasn't parked behind a tree or something because he always pulls pranks like this, but he was nowhere in sight. As I stood there puzzled in the middle of the p-lot, bf drove back in and KWR whooped with glee over the whole situation (whom I flipped off with a strained smirk...and it pains me to think that all of us are way too old to be acting like this...like 40+). Meanwhile, bf is truly mad at me. I told him that him driving off played right into KWR's power trip, and that I'm not attracted to the guy anymore. But I do feel like I still have a residual "drug addiction" to him, even if it's much less than before, and even if it's not exactly an attraction. I wish that bf didn't see him as such a threat, but tried to help me instead, b/c things would be a lot better. I feel very icky right now. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it!!
