Hey puppyblew,it's a very long reading. I used an Oracle deck called The Love Pack and I did a spread called Partnership Potential.
There are 84 cards in this deck, divided unequally into four suits. If a problem card is drawn, then you continue to redraw until you get a card from one of the other three suits.
The problem cards show the layers that need to be worked through.
The Foundation of the relationship has three positions (Healing, Love, Friendship). The cards in these positions demonstrate the level of strength in key areas of healing
Healing – Willingness to change and grow and make the relationship better
You: Self-worth 7 (Healing)
This card is about you believing in yourself. In the healing position it is important because it means that you have self-love and it is only when we have this that we are capable of loving another.
Him: Cynicism 44 (Problem), Jealousy 79 (Problem), Communication 5 (Healing)
Somehow, his healing is tied in with what he believes about love. This card shows a woman on a balcony, tipping a bucket of water over a couple who are hugging below. So maybe he’s questioning whether love is possible in any form. Once he works through this cynicism he will become jealous of the way you approach love. The only way through is communication. It is important that he keeps the lines of communication open, for that is the way he will heal.
Love – potential for joy support and play
You: Dream Come True 22 (Luck)
You have an idea of how you want love to be and of what will make you happy. You dream about it and, when it manifests, it is exactly as you had pictured it.
Him: Play 18 (Luck)
He wants to treat love as a carefree child. The card shows a man at the bottom of a slide, waiting to catch the woman who is sliding down. He doesn’t want to get bogged down in the seriousness of love at the moment. He just wants to have some fun and relax.
Friendship – potential for joy support and play
You: Healing 2 (Healing)
You are currently nursing a man with a broken heart, but you are caring and supporting toward him. It’s like a nurturing that you can give, and you can give this because you have healed yourself.
Him: Old Wounds 56 (Problem), Love 42 (Grace)
Looks as though he’s had his heart broken before and that has made him hold onto the past. You are perfect for him at this time, because you can show compassion and help him heal that break. Problem is, he has closed off to you and he’s clutching that broken heart to his chest. If he can work through that issue and open up to your love, he will find love for himself.
Bridge of the relationship has three positions (Communication, Trust, Joining). They demonstrate the potential for reaching out and connecting with partners.
Communication – major tool in building bridges
You: Self-Consciousness 67 (Problem), Never Enough 81 (Problem), Neediness 78 (Problem), Revenge 54 (Problem), Holding On 82 (Problem), Happiness 41 (Grace)
I get the impression that at some point you were not communicating effectively so you became very self-conscious of yourself. Instead of saying what you felt, you started to second-guess your feelings and were too busy making sure you didn’t hurt him. It seemed that no matter what you tried, it was never enough. So, you tried harder but this just made you look needy. For a brief time, you started to feel resentful that he couldn’t see you for what you were worth and you contemplated some form of revenge. But that didn’t work for you either. It still left you feeling empty. It was at that point that you realised how much you missed him and you grabbed every crumb in an effort to hang on to what you had. The problem with holding on is that it makes you look needy and that is very unattractive. It’s almost as though you need to let something go, in order for it to come back. Once you drop that neediness, you will find your happiness. I guess the message here is you shouldn’t try to protect him with your communication. If you feel something, you need to express it.
Him: Bad Attitude 64 (Problem), Fear of Commitment 84 (Problem), Fear 80 (Problem), Fear of Inadequacy 45 (Problem), Sensuality 20 (Luck)
Wow, there’s a lot of fear here. It all started with a bad attitude where he refused to communicate. I think he felt closed in, as though you were expecting more from him. And he wouldn’t be able to live up to that. There is a fear of commitment, a fear of inadequacy and just plain old fear. These cards all point to a mental problem. Not necessarily a mental illness as such, but a coloured way of looking at the world. He does not feel comfortable communicating about any of those fears. However, to get through this situation, that’s exactly what he must do. He needs to share his fears with someone and not repress them. Once he beats those fears, you will have a very sensual man.
Trust – the ability of both partners to use the power of the mind to build the relationship to be faithful and to grow in confidence
You: Giving 3 (Healing)
You are sharing all that you are and all that you have. This is a very welcoming card for your partner, because it shows your unconditional love.
Him: True Love 33 (Luck)
On a trust level, he knows that you are very loving toward him. The book says that if you have asked a question specifically about whether a person is suited to you or not, and you receive this card, then the answer is definitely a YES. So, as it was his card, it means that you are the one for him.
Joining – potential for sharing, enjoying, extending to each other and building the relationship together
You: Problem 76 (Problem), Irresistibility 37 (Luck)
You have half of a piece of a heart and he has the other half. Problem is that they are not matching pieces. They cannot be connected as one. If you can solve this problem of joining, you will become irresistible to him. I like to call that card (Irresistibility) “sex on a stick”. The card shows a woman walking on a path, and men running from all directions with bunches of flowers in their hands. But you will only become irresistible if you can solve the puzzle of how your two halves are going to fit together as one.
Him: Tenderness 17 (Luck)
For him, it is a much longer and harder track back. Firstly, he has imprisoned himself. He has locked himself away but it is a false prison. It is one of self-imprisonment. The key is within his reach, yet he sits back and does not try to reach it. The weird thing is that there is only one wall in this prison, the one he is clinging to. If he looks either side or behind him, he can walk out of it and become a free man. So, it’s his choice to remain there. He tries to bring you down, by using you. And, he wants you to believe that he doesn’t need you because he is independent. But, that independence is negative because it is denial and an unwillingness to ask for help. During his isolation, he becomes deluded and thinks that he is rather special. So, he isn’t in a fit state to attract anybody into his life. Sitting on his deserted island, he makes a list of rules that anybody that comes into his life, must follow. But even then, when you’ve followed the rules, he still doesn’t know. He stands back and wonders if he should let you back into his heart. You know what – there is a huge reward if he does. The last card is The Lovers but he pretty much has to take a leap of faith to get there.
Crowning point has one position:
Fruits of the Relationship – the gifts that come from it as it presently is
You: Come Hither 25 (Luck)
Well, you have made it quite clear what you want in this relationship. You are standing under a tree and you beam a brilliant light, a radiant beauty. It is a signal to him that you want him to come to you.
Him: Loneliness 49 (Problem), Tenderness 17 (Luck)
He has a choice. He can remain alone and isolated, locked in his self-imprisonment, or he can break free and find tenderness with you.
It isn’t an easy and quick path for either of you to take. But the reading shows that there are rewards if you both can work through all of the issues raised.
I hope this helps to understand where your relationship might go.
with love
