I am flattered that everyone has taken such an interest in my readings; however, I had only intended on doing a few. Amisha is doing a wonderful job and after I finish up the already requested readings then I will step back.

Thank you for understanding,

I see that currently you are quite dissatisfied with the current state of your lovelife. There may be someone who is offering themselves to you but you don't see them because you are too busy thinking about what you want and trying to figure out when it will happen. Seven of Swords- this is no the time to behave aggressively, instead play your cards close to your chest and use diplomacy to acheive the desired results. Has a relationship just ended for you? Because I am picking up on the death of something that must be dealt with in order to move on. I also see much emotional, spiritual, or mental pain as a result of a loss of some kind. I will look into this further, but do you have any information that you can share with me which will help me to understand what I am seeing more clearly?

Lucia23 - here is a yes because of and a no because of on the first question which was will A and You be together romantically.

Yes because of The Hermit

No because of 4 of Pentacles (reversed)

Yes because of Queen of Swords:
keeping a stiff upper lip, remaining calm and focused through difficult times, handling loss in positive ways, making hard choices with grace and dignity.

No because of 2 of Swords:
defending yourself against physical, verbal, or intellectual attacks, preparing for debate, understanding some differences can never be resolved.

I'm going to use the "The Chariot Spread - the Dilemma of Moving On by Lyndel Robinson" using the Da Vinci Tarot deck.

Cards 1 and 2 are the Sphinxes, the opposing directions you want to take.

1) King of Chalices (reversed)
rash decisions, favoritism, failing to make critical decisions due to a fear of being judged or second-guessed, lacking faith in your own good sense.

2) 8 of Chalices

red tape, bureaucracy, harsh judgment, using superior knowledge to manipulate others, fundamentalism, dogmatism

Card 4 - the background to the situation in 1.
4) 2 of Pentacles
clarity, untainted love, honest friendship, unconditional love and acceptance, engaging in love for the simple pleasure of doing so.

Card 5 - the background to the situation in 2.
5) Queen of Chalices (reversed)
smothering others or being smothered with sentimental or controlling affection, being "tied up in apron strings", using love in manipulative ways.

Card 6 - the heart of the matter, where your heart really wants to go.
6) 7 of Chalices
reviewing how something started and measuring progress to date, revelations, visions, revisions, imagining what could be...or could have been.

Card 7 - the crown - focussed and directed Will - the way forward.
Knight of Wands (reversed)
positioning one's self as a mercenary, taking action without consideration for ethics or consequences, committing to a battle in which you have no personal investment.

izodesmozina - best of luck with everything.
I'm going to use the "Sword of Truth" relationship spread from aecletic and will continue to use the Da Vinci Tarot.

1. Other's view of the relationship
9 of Wands (reversed)
being a "doormat" when confronted, refusing to stand up for yourself or others, failing to have the courage of your convictions.

9. Possible/probable outcome
8 of Wands
trying to foresee the future, extrapolating future performance from data on the present or past, applying yourself to a distant goal, working to secure a future reality.

HERE IS ANOTHER READING USING THE LAURA TUAN CARDS OF LOVE SINCE YOU GAVE BIRTHDATES:
izodesmozina - why you love him:
Perhaps to hurt yourself and others, you give vent to your destructive instincts and pay a karmic debt you have had with him in a distant past.

how you love him:
passion has overwhelmed you to the point where it is about to annihilate you. to have him you are willing to do anything, even things that are not right. unusual and transgressive sensuality.

why he loves you:
his protective and chivalrous spirit is aroused by your youthfullness, softness, spontaneity and a little ingeniousness. he would do anything to avoid hurting you.

how he loves you:
his lighthearted and playful character is reinforced. emotional security makes him happy, and he trusts in life and in its resources.

your story together; the beginning:
you have both been defended and coddled by protective people and continue to expect the same from your respective partners. be careful not to confuse feeligns with getting settled.

your story together: the situation:
courage and passion always guide your steps even in difficult moments. this is the right moment to get involved and to risk the most even if it means compromising an existing relationship.

Are you into I Ching? I am fascinated by it, it has provided some very insightful answers for me during these hard times; I asked a few questions about you.

-what should Amisha be aware of?

62. Hsiao Kuo / Preponderance of the Small-> 2. K'un / The Receptive

Change in the third place means:
If one is not extremely careful,
Somebody may come up from behind and strike him.
Misfortune.

Change in the fourth place means:
No blame. He meets him without passing by.
Going brings danger. One must be on guard.
Do not act. Be constantly persevering.

--what is Amisha's current position in life?

63. Chi Chi / After Completion-> 46. Shêng / Pushing Upward

Change at the beginning means:
He brakes his wheels.
He gets his tail in the water.
No blame.

Change in the second place means:
The woman loses the curtain of her carriage.
Do not run after it;
On the seventh day you will get it.

Change in the fifth place means:
The neighbor in the east who slaughters an ox
Does not attain as much real happiness
As the neighbor in the west
With his small offering.

--what is Amisha's outlook for the future?

44. Kou / Coming to Meet-> 50. Ting / The Caldron

Change in the fifth place means:
A melon covered with willow leaves.
Hidden lines.
Then it drops down to one from heaven.

-what is the wisest decision Amisha could take about her professional life?

31. Hsien / Influence (Wooing)-> 8. Pi / Holding Together (Union)

Change in the third place means:
The influence shows itself in the thighs.
Holds to that which follows it.
To continue is humiliating.

Change in the fourth place means:
Perseverance brings good fortune.
Remorse disappears.
If a man is agitated in mind,
And his thoughts go hither and thither,
Only those friends
On whom he fixes his conscious thoughts
Will follow.

I am not good with interpretations, unfortunately. For that, I mostly use these sites: http://www.wisdomportal.com/IChing/IChing-Wilhelm.html http://www.dreamhawk.com/iching.htm

izodesmozina, I know very little about the I-Ching and your reading for Amisha is very interesting...I could use some advice right now...if you have time, could you ask it what I need to know?

posted August 22, 2007 05:23 AM         

60. Chieh / Limitation-> 48. Ching / The Well

Change at the beginning means:
Not going out of the door and the courtyard
Is without blame.

Change in the third place means:
He who knows no limitation
Will have cause to lament.
No blame.

Perhaps it is a time when you should apply some restraint in some area of your life. Don't be too impulsive in this period. The Well (the source of water) is a good sign.

*From the Wilhelm translation:
1st line

quote:

---

Often a man who would like to undertake something finds himself
confronted by insurmountable limitations. Then he must know where to
stop. If he rightly understands this and does not go beyond the limits set for
him, he accumulates an energy that enables him, when the proper time
comes, to act with great force. Discretion is of prime importance in preparing
the way for momentous things. Concerning this, Confucius says:

Where disorder develops, words are the first steps. If the prince is not discreet,
he loses his servant. If the servant is not discreet he loses his life. If
germinating things are not handled with discretion, the perfecting of them is
impeded. Therefore the superior man is careful to maintain silence and does
not go forth.

---

3rd line

quote:

---

If an individual is bent only on pleasures and enjoyment, it is easy for him to
lose his sense of the limits that are necessary. If he gives himself over to
extravagance, he will have to suffer the consequences, with accompanying
regret. He must not seek to lay the blame on others. Only when we realize
that our mistakes are of our own making will such disagreeable experiences
free us of errors.

---

**Seems to me that this is pretty much in the same direction as Amisha told you.

Amisha,

posted August 22, 2007 07:11 PM         

as you could see - i was trying not to nix the reversals. i posted, quite a few pages ago, someone else's interpretation of reversal - reversals to me are a watered down version of the upright interpretation or that which we really don't know and should know/come to be acquainted with and have been acting the oppositve of, as a form of perfectly-aware-of rebellion.

thank you for the i ching - i tried to read those in the past. the reading you did was pretty good. thank you. I have to read this over again and I too had to check up on the meaning of lines as those use to confuse me before. you said "you should be very careful, not be too confident about the way you think things will evolve, also be receptive for whatever offer will come your way, but you shouldn't act impulsive.
Dunno if this helps..." it helps A LOT izo - thank you. so much for the "secret" which i love (active visualization) even before people actually made a name for it. lol. perfect - i love it. i do have a habit of being stubborn, hard-headed and all of that. lol. this isn't the first time i've been told to be receptive for whatever offer will come my way but I just turned down a semi-romantic offer (impulsively, at that) made not too long ago because i thought the position was tasteless and degrading regardless of my own issues even though i don't know either one of their whole story, only speculations. actually, i got semi-romantic offers twice by two different people now that i think about it (one i impulsively punched them in the stomach and the other i haven't called back and addressed). i just realized that those could be considered offers. i don't know - i guess i'll think twice before i kick the next person who even dares to bring those kinds of offers up to me in the nuts.

you are welcomed Lucia 23 - hold you head and heart together. know what your principles are and adjust accordingly.

Izo - yes the Laura Tuan reading can change as any reading can according to attitude and point of focus, i suppose. thanks for all of your links.

ummm - let's see, i hope it's ok i'm doing this reading since neither one of them directly asked me for the reading.

OK - the female
Why she loves him
You appreciate his constructive and purposeful aspects. You can set up home and feel secure with him.

how she loves him
your feelings are young, playful and still inexperienced. you give your heart with tenderness and complicity but the responsibility frightens you and passion intimidates you.

why he loves her
you are fickle and undecided and look for a woman who will not cause you problems. you appreciate the fact that she asks nothing from you, leaving you to live a parallel life undisturbed.

how he loves her
irresistably attracted, you neglect school, work and family. a fatal and feocious infatuation, capable of getting you into trouble.

your story together - the beginning
it began as a game or as a forbidden experience. you both want to taste the fruit and the idea of doing it together intrigues you.

your story together - the situation
the attraction is still strong but to recover the feeling between you, both need to overcome the conflict and accept a compromise

your story together - the outcome
if a doubt torments you or you supect a betrayal, it will become immediately obvious. you both declare your faults, feelings and expectations openly.

I also did a Love Triangle spread for you as well using Laura Tuan's Flowers of Love cards:

Position 1 - in your favor
16 - Iris (satisfied desire)
conquest, challenge, struggle (because of the sharp bladelike leaves, gladiolus means sword), granted desire (in Japan it is planted on the roof as a lucky charm) declaration, good news, complicity (it is tradition to bring to girlfriends' hen parties), a romantic date (included in a bouquet the number of flowers establishes the time of the meeting).

Position 2 - in favor of the rival
11 - Poppy (loneliness suffered)
oblivion (it was offered to Morpheus, Greek god of sleep), abandonment, languor, loneliness (in Russia it is the symbol of an unmarried woman), repentance for an error, eccentricity, pride, relief (it was offered to Juno to relieve labor pains).

Position 3 - an element of surprise
30 - Cornflower (constructive relationship)
complete happiness without gray areas, reciprocated love. as well as purity, a marriage proposal (in Egypt it was the wedding bouquet of the Pharoes), an explanation, light (because its shape and color recalls a big blue eye).

Amisha,

posted August 23, 2007 04:48 AM         

Seems like there is a bigger plan for you, one that you are probably unaware of at this time, but if you stay open and not push things in the direction you want them to go, "great good fortune" will be yours.

For your current position in life, After Completion is a time of balancing, but there is also this warning:
"Everything proceeds as if of its own
accord, and this can all too easily tempt us to relax and let thing take their
course without troubling over details. Such indifference is the root of all evil. "
Line 1 means you seem to be aware you are going through a time of deep changes and you are holding your own very well. Line 2: whatever you lost, do not be concerned about it - it will return, or something better will. It might also mean that you have been stripped of your protection, or that the people in authority are not yet receptive to your ideas. Wait.
Your outlook for the future: You will "come to meet" the people you need to meet, but to do so you must not seek them openly; they will come to you because your light is true and when time will come for them to acknoledge it, the Caldron will result (it is suggestive for a superior, very civilized society; spirituality indicated too).
With the last question, from the first impression I got: don;t leave your current position just yet and when you do, leave the door open. You might find help there later. Just the first thing that came in my mind, might not be accurate, so take it with a grain of salt .
Let me know what you think.
