Diandra23 - vocation - well, i'm using my navigator cards today - i tried to do a reading for you last night but something told me to just try again today so here i am - let me get this question straight, you are asking what/where is the major area where you could find the job/work that really is your vocation? i'll just pull a from three separated decks - one deck holds the court cards, one holds the pip cards, and the other holds the major arcana - how is that?

YOU:
Queen of Wands (reversed) - regeneration
This Queen is a warm, affectionate, charming woman, who is adaptable and has a calm authority and a determined manner. She needs to guard against outbursts of revenge. After any catastrophe, one has the power to rebuild, proving the renewing aspect of one's own willpower.

Page of Cups - reduction
A quiet, studious, imaginative person with a need to put down roots. The Page will combine all the knowledge he has gained and form a foundation from which to take the next leap. He must also free emotions from inner conflict to restore clarity.

WHAT:
Seven of Cups - delusion
External splendor and beauty can hide internal corruption. Reaching for great heights without having one's feet planted firmly in the here-and-now will lead to a certain downfall. You may be heading in the wrong direction or mixing with a bad group of people; break away while you can, trust in your own abilities, and focus on a clear goal.

Five of Swords (reversed) - destruction
Promises have been too easily made and not kept. Therefore, friends and colleagues no longer trust you. The mistake was to take on more than you could comfortably handle. Lean how to say "no" if you cannot honestly meet demands. We all have limited time in our lives, so do not betray your own needs.

Three of Wands - cohesion
This is a card of creative conception and preparation, which will be brought to fruition by silent contemplation. This is a good time to formulate images which have been knocking at your intuitive doors. Do not ignore your ideas; they hold valuable insights.

WHERE:
Hermit (exaltation)
You have become receptive to cosmic vibrations by setting aside the demands of your ego-personality. Despite the daily troubles whihc separate you from your chosen destiny and purse on Earth, you have attained a freedom which allows your mind to dwell on eternal matters. You need to surround yourself only with essentials and live a life of frugality.

Death (transformation)
There is now a transformation of great significance in your life. This change may have to do with physical death, if the surrounding cards indicate that this is so. However, it is far more likely to be an interruption or cessation of your regular routine. Be prepared for the unexacted. Do not feel any apprehension about changes in your surroundings, life pattern, or circle of friends, for change will lead to a beneficial formation of altered circumstances which will give you a new understanding of certain factors in yoru life. Remember to appreciate to the full those whom you love, for all life's stages are transitory and changes will occur whether you wish for them or not.

Card Two: hopes and desires, what querent is truly looking for
Six of Pentacles (compensation) - reversed
A position of temporary balance and harmony is about to be achieved. it is a time of Eartly abundance and reaping harvest. however, the slightest movement can cuase a change.

Eight of Cups (seclusion) - reversed
We tend to make excuses for our behavior, particularly when we are unhappy but powerless to make a change. Yet you can change and start putting your life together by applying self-discipline.

Cards Six, Seven, and Eight all refer to the future.
Card Six: what to look for emotionally
Six of Cups (felicity) - reversed

lol - neptune5 - congratulations. by the way, you know damn well i don't know how much "dough" you will bring in - you are trippin - however, i can do a Money in your Life spread - have i done that for you before? i don't remember, i remember i tried this spread with someone but i don't remember who it was - anyway, subject to your interpretation:

Card One: shows the past financial situation, or event from the past that is still influencing the future.
Arch Priestess (dissolution)
This is an opportunity to start afresh, and it will be accompanied bythe incarnation of new ideas which arise from you unconscious. You can observe, without regret, the dispersion of old loves and hates and ancient methods of motivation. Use your latent power to find out what lies behind the veil of existence by delving into your memories.

Card Two: is the current financial situation.
Moon (gratification) - reversed
This card represents a state of flux and illusion. It is time to reflect on your lifestyle, for it may be damaging to you and to others around you. You tend to be moody and constantly change your opinion. This sort of oscillation in your emotional state causes confusion amonst family and friends. You may be repressing feelings of resentment, anger, or guilt. Discuss problems openly with others; be focused on them during these talks, giving them time to explain and listening to their point of view. You will find that you begin to understand others' thoughts before they speak. Use this gift to become more aware of the people who mean the most to you.

Card Three: shows how you feel about the situation, or how it is seen.
Queen of Wands (regeneration)
This Queen is a warm, affectionate, charming woman, who is adaptable and has a calm authority and a determined manner. She needs to guard against outbursts of revenge. After any catastrophe, one has the power to rebuild, proving the renewing aspect of one's own willpower.

Ace of Cups (immersion)
With this card we reach the deepest understanding of our personal needs, and prepare ourselves to learn the guidance of intuition and purse instinct. Now is the time for understanding your experiences of the past, which act as emotional triggers.

Card Six: action that can be taken, or area that should be focused on specifically. Card Six might generally point to external changes, physical actions that can be taken, or work with others.
Two of Swords (concurrence) - reversed
Becoming involved in other people's disagreements saps your energy without yielding meaningful results. Step back and alloow the conflict to continue without you, for the argument can only be concluded bythe warring participants themselves. make sure you are not neglecting your own needs.

By the results of your decks it seems to me that this dream is quite possible?

correct me if im wrong?

posted April 07, 2007 05:46 PM         

its concerning me and my contract. I feel as if my Godfamily is almost upset that i have a contract, and i have a possibility of gaining more finances and getting richer. I feel as if they're jealous (because when i announced it to them they weren't happy for me, but acted as if it was a scam because the contract ws charging me money, and when i told them it was a 'subsidy' publisher and not a scam, they didn't even care, so its like, i feel like they're jealous). Are they jealous and if they are, why?

I've just been feeling extremely conflicted latley. I have a lot of issues, mostly past that I just can't get over. I've identified them, I am just having trouble creating a solution to them and letting them go. This is beginning to frustrate those around me. Especially my lover who is trying so hard to help me, but I fear I am truly wearing on his last nerve. He helps me so much, I just don't know what to do with the information he supplies me. Like, as soon as we're done talking it's like nothing's changed and I think that's what gets to him the most.

I really just feel I need something of a push in the right direction right now.

New Beginnings Spread
Card One: What can I do to ignite my motivation to achieve my known dreams this year?
4 of pentacles (authority)
Don't give away too many secrets; people who are not necessarily supportive are watching you. On the other hand, you have hidden talents and abilities that you have not yet fully realized or utilized. This is your chance to open new doors and travel toward a new direction.

Card Two: What lights an illuminating fire about my unknown dreams this year?
Nine of wands - reversed (intensity)
Approach the unknown with skepticism and determination; carefully double-check interpretations and assumptions. you are seeking the right path at this time in your life, but are confused and misled by linear thinking.

Two of wands - reversed (dominion)
Be sure you do not agree with other people's ideas merely to keep the peace. There is no harm in having your own opinion and stating it categorically. your view of the world is just as important as anyone else's. When you find yourself in a postiion of leadership, be humble and do not take advantage of those who trust you.

Card Four: What do I know about my feelings regarding my deepest, subconscious desires for the coming year?
Tower - reversed (attention)
A separation is felt between the two halves of your personality as an inner conflict grows. Pay attention to the causes of this exhausting mental battle. "Towers" of false convictions divice people both inwardly and outwardly, and in order to understand each other, we must demolish them, brick by brick. Tear down your personal Tower piece by piece, and examine each psychological "block" that prevents you from achieving your dreams as you set them firmly aside, leaving the way clear to move ahead.

Card Five: How can I use my sharpest intelligence to achieve my known goals this year?
Eight of pentacles - reversed (economy)
Money is only a tool, a link in the chain between effort and sustenance. To sustain, it must be saved; to gain, it must be used as a living sculpture of one's will. you will make good decisions regarding investments.

Card Six: How can I uncover the mysteries of my unknown dreams this year?
Four of wands (delight)
this is romantic, gentle card, but with a feeling of impending change. REmember that romantic thrills are transient and that new relationships need to be based on something more substantial. consider whether there is a solid basis of mutual regard and shared values behind a new powerful attraction.

Card Seven: What will help me know I have manifested my known desires?
Page of swords - reversed (decomposition)
a person who is lively and graceful, yet also cunning and vengeful. This person has abandoned the stability of home in favor of the Path through fire to illumination. Ther eis an attitude of uncertainty and the possibility of a return to past ways. rEgain the soul's desire by completing the psychological tasks set by one's own destiny.

cat71 - i have to tell you first, you were a little hard to do a tarot reading for yesterday. I knew I had to just try again today. I'm glad I did. the following readings are subject to your interpretation.

I’m going to do a Living Tree Tarot Spread for your project:

Positions:
1 - Root. The reasons and motivation for pursuing this project.
Two of Swords (concurrence)
Becoming involved in other people’s disagreements saps your energy without yielding meaningful results. Step back and allow the conflict to continue without you, for the argument can only be concluded by the warring participants themselves. Make sure you are not neglecting your own needs.

2 - Growth. How your abilities will encourage the development of this project.
Suspension (inversion) – reversed
Suspension refers to the process of turning within and beginning to comprehend the working of your own psyche. By inverting the focus of your conscious thoughts, transferring them from the world around you to the world within, you will soon be able to understand what motivates your every move. A profound curiosity with life and its many ramifications will lead you toward the pearl of wisdom that you seek. The time is not yet come for you to touch this pearl and make it yours.

3 - Flower. How your project with effect others around you.
Ace of Swords (respiration) – reversed
Your mind is always active. Instead of allowing it to roam among random thoughts, take some time to direct your mental energy toward your personal growth. The challenging sword of your will can be used for both good and evil purposes. Which will you choose?

4 - Fruit. How your project will actually effect your own life.
Arch Priestess (dissolation) – reversed
This is an opportunity to start afresh, and it will be accompanied by the incarnation of new ideas which arise from your unconscious. You can observe, without regret, the dispersion of old loves and hates and ancient methods of motivation. Use your latent power to find out what lies behind the veil of existence by delving into your memories.

5,6 - Past. 2 cards that show how events from your past will impact your project, and that should be considered before you begin.

Ten of Swords (destitution)
The debasement of all moral qualities. Weakness and corruption. Yet even during moments of sorrow and depression, divine karma is at work bringing justice to all. Do not attempt to defend yourself by making excuses; re3evaluate your principles and make a new start.

Seven of Wands (fortitude)
It is difficult to hold out for what you believe in while the crabs of illusion attempt to devour those truths. Stand firm, even while others desert you. They are weak and you will be better off in the long run. Those who hold the Wand of their self-respect high will triumph in the end.

7,8 - Future. 2 cards that reflect future aspects of this project that you might not have thought of. Keep these in mind.

Three of Pentacles (foundation) – reversed
Old wisdom is being transformed and modernized. Look ahead to see what is happening in the world around you and focus your own vision on new endeavors and on updating your backlog of information. Your disposition will change if you discard old habits.

Knight of Cups (conviction)
Sensitive and romantic, this Knight is easy to get along with and outwardly appears calm. Yet inwardly, he may be a ruthless swindler who spends time idling in secret pursuits. We are often too hasty in judging others, and must realize that everyone sees the world in a different light. Thus we must give others the space to voice their convictions and encourage their points of view.

9 - Final Outcome. What the results will be when your project is complete.

King of Pentacles (motivation)
The King is trustworthy, methodical , and down-to-earth. He can become an implacable enemy if his smoldering fires are aroused. He is a devoted but undemonstrative partner, applying his energy to practical matters. Motivation is the key to progress; we need incentive and follow-through to grow psychologically.

3. Current State of the Relationship
Emperor (propulsion) - reversed
When you use ability with restraint, it reacts like a laser beam of focused light which has incredible penetrating force in whatever direction you turn it.

5. Views of #1 regarding the relationship
Five of Cups (dissipation)
You have woven a protective net around yourself which now threatens to entrap you. Believe in yourself, no matter how much others may disagree.

6. Views of #2 regarding the relationship
Ten of Cups (accomplishment)

9. Best Outcome
Seven of Swords (ambivalence) – reversed
A violation; a thief. Beware, for you are being watched. Bravado is not always the best policy. If you are going to be caught, admit your mistake. Question your tendency toward vindictiveness and watch your future actions, otherwise you will not win trust.

I can give you some feedback on the second reading (relationship) -
*5. Views of #1 regarding the relationship
Five of Cups (dissipation)
You have woven a protective net around yourself which now threatens to entrap you. Believe in yourself, no matter how much others may disagree. Have the courage of your convictions; remember that those who try to please everyone end up satisfying nobody, least of all themselves. Keep emotions under control.* This is definitely true of my feelings and the response I have had on the odd occasion I have mentioned my feelings for the man in question.

*6. Views of #2 regarding the relationship
Ten of Cups (accomplishment)
It is often at the moment of accomplishment that we find ourselves empty and bereft. Look beyond your pleasures to find more meaningful relationships. Your family can provide love and support if you can humbly return to them.* - from what I know of him at present (not much) this is true of his current feelings
Can't say much more for now, but when things become clearer to me I will come back here and let you know.
