How lovely to have the opportunity to do something for you after you've helped so many of us - thank you for that.

I'm not so well versed in natal chart readings so I'll leave that to the more experienced around here but I have pulled a few Tarot cards for you and I hope they help. Here goes...

10 of wands (How you see yourself): There's a feeling of being burdened and somewhat trapped in your life at the moment. You've been taking an awful lot on recently and it's getting too much. (No kidding! ) Take some space for yourself to recharge your batteries and regenerate. You perhaps need to assimilate everything you've learnt during this time and find some peace with it.

Judgement (What you most want at this moment): Rebirth and rewards for your past efforts. A sense of joy and celebration for all that you've acheived and accomplished. You want to take stock and consider the next brand new phase in your life which you sense is near. The Judgement card brings an opportunity which, once given, must not be ignored, a new project or decision could change your life;
this card generally speeds up events in your life. Seize the day!!

King of Swords (Your Fears): I think there's someone in your life who perhaps represents authority and you perhaps see him as domineering and cruel. He champions new ideas and is a very strong influence. Perhaps you need to embrace his influence instead of fearing it - he could be a positive force in this new phase rather than a negative one. Either way trust your instincts and believe in your own ideas and follow your own path.

7 of Cups (What is going for you): Choices, choices, choices!! It's like having a treasure chest in front of you with seven drawers full of tempting and exciting things for you to choose from... but of course with all those lovely things, which do you take and which do you leave behind. Again you have to go with your gut on this and examine your soul for what it is that you truly want. Avoid fantasies and be scrupulously honest with yourself. But the universe is offering you so much at this time that all you have to do is accept graciously. Nice card I always think.

5 of Wands (What's going against you): Unavoidable problems and annoyances. So ok, there are a few of these to challenge you and spice up the general picture but they're nothing you can't live through and eventually sort out. Just watch out for anyone competing against you for a job or to gain some kind of power over you.

4 of Cups (Outcome): I think perhaps you're feeling slightly stagnated emotionally at the moment and more than a little apathetic. I have a feeling you're being offered an emotional choice by someone but that you simply feel disinclined to do anything about it either way at the moment. You have other things on your mind and are dealing with events in your life which at the moment, take presidence over your own personal emotions. I feel you're on such a path of learning and enlightenment that at present, you're filled with the urge to learn more rather than the urge to share all that learning with just one person alone. I get an image of you waiting for the one who touches your soul; the one who sends sparks flying in your heart. And I don't think it'll be long before you find them.

I hope this has helped in some way Stephanie - I'm nowhere near as fluid and intuitive as you are when you read but I feel positive things around you and that you are protected

1. You-state of mind, emotions - 8 of Pentacles-You are such a hard worker and have been so diligent in doing the right thing in all areas of your life. You are concerned that you wont reap the benefits you so richly deserve. You have been upset over a lot of material matters lately. Nothing seems to fit. You like details to fall into place and they haven't been doing that lately. You seem to have lost some of your focus, and this concerns you.

2. Situation - current circumstances -9 of Pentacles - This is a very good time for you Stephanie. The Universe is ready to open up to you and shower you with abundance in all areas of your life. take pleasure in all that you have been able to achieve in life. you deserve all of the good that is coming your way. Stephanie this card is saying to me that you are content with yourself by that I mean you genuinely like yourself. That is a very positive attitude Stephanie and you shouldn't lose that. There is a feeling of completion, self satisfaction surrounding you. You don't need anyone to validate you. You can stand on your own Relax Stephanie calm down.

3. Problem - clarification - The Star- it is a very positive sign that the Star is showing up in this position. Unexpected blessings are coming your way. Continue to believe in yourself, life is opening up to you, take a leap of faith. This card is saying to me you will be able to overcome all of your difficulties. Just stay true to yourself, Stephanie and you will be fine .

4. Outcome - advice- solution, possible results 8 of Pentacles - Its time to move on - on an emotional level let go whatever has been holding you back or whatever you think is holding you back. Stephanie we only block our own good no one can take what is for you or hold you back. There is much for you to do and experience. You have done a good job, a cycle has ended and new experiences are in store for you.

Reading your post reminded me of the outcome card of the reading lotus... I just have this feeling you're waiting for 'the one' and he's not far away. It may be this guy but if the sparks aren't flying I'd suspect it's someone you've not met yet. You obviously have a strong soul connection to the younger guy but perhaps it's not destined to be explored romantically between the 2 of you in this life time? I think it's important to rejoice in knowing (Gnosis ) that connection anyway - after all, you're 2 closely related pieces of 'the whole' and you have something to teach each other perhaps? It could be interesting and very comforting to be around each other even if it stays platonic.

I picked out a card from my "Lovers Oracle" deck, they are red shaped love cards (for the Love woman ha ha).

The cards said "the answer is no" and then I got to pick another cos it fell out and this one said "Love - if love is the answer why ask questions?"

I immediately thought of self love, and when I was walking back up stairs to the computer the initial "T" came to me.

Hope this helps sweetie

Love to you

I feel "the answer is no" was regarding him and I know it sounds like an old cliche, but I feel you may be trying too hard at the moment. I know of that Taurus energy (Ive got it in Moon and Mars). We persist eagerly and passionately........but sometimes its timely to say "ah feck it over the wall for the moment".

Can you try to do that for me, you little darling - I will pray for you

God bless

Love
