Hi Softissues, part of the difficulty in interpreting these cards are the questions asked and the fact that the cards have not been given designations related to factors inherent within the question to help you reach an answer.

There are some tips on how to get clearer answers from the tarot here: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum18/HTML/002652.html

In particular:

quote:
2. Ask the 'right' (eye-of-a-needle level specific) question

3. Make the spread fit the question, not the other way around (this often leads to you creating your own spreads, but I find it way more informative and easier to interpret, than trying to squeeze a question into a standard spread. If you have already employed 2. then you have a good, specific question in which you just have to break down into components, or 'positions')



and here: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum18/HTML/002488.html

in particular:

quote:
1. you have asked a yes/no question of the tarot, which rarely yields a clear response unless you have employed a specific technique to work with, e.g. reversed = no, upright = yes. This is not relevant unless you intended to use this technique when you cast the reading.

I would start over with these guidelines in mind. I would be very surprised if you still struggle to interpret your reading, unless you are still getting to grips with individual card energies. In which case, you can find a good overview of the Rider Waite card interpretations here: http://www.learntarot.com/cards.htm

If you're still struggling after addressing these points, I'll be more than happy to help further

Thank you Voix, I completely overlooked my question and the spread I used. I don't know how it slipped my mind! This makes sense and the resources are great.

The devil is always in the details! Good luck with it - you can do it.

Come back and report how you got on if you like
