I am in a desperate situation right now, and I am worried sick, so any insight on this situation would be very much appreciated.

Much of our town is getting evacuated due to flooding. This will be our second evacuation in the past three weeks. They are forecasting a record number of water flowing through the town. Much of the city will be underwater according to the forecast. A lot of homes, and businesses will be destroyed. I am at a loss. Everything that I worked for could possibly be taken away from me, and if the water reaches my house, and is deep, there isn't anything that I can do about it.

I am also worried about a very important relationship of mine with Z being negatively effected by this flood. We are both in seperate locations right now due to the evacuation, and can't see each other very easily, if at all right now.

So, I would like some insight on whether or not I will lose everything, if we will be able to salvage our house, or what will come of it. I also would like to know how this flood will effect my relationship with Z. I have already been through the ringer, so don't be afraid of telling me anything too negative. I just need to know what my future holds as far as this is concerned.

I will also take prayers, and positive thoughts, light, etc.

Birthday info.

Unfortunately I'm not really qualified to give you a chart reading, but I will pray for you!!! I hope things get better for you and all of the other citizens of your town... Sounds like you're in quite a catastrophic situation, and I wish you strength and patience. I know it may seem like the end of your world as you know it, if you end up losing all that you worked for, but even if it happens (God forbid) we must remember that the "stuff" in our lives is just that-- stuff. And for the most part-- it's replaceable. It may be disappointing and heartbreaking but what's most important is that YOU'RE alright because that-- is NOT replaceable. I know it may be tough but just try to remember that.

I cannot imagine how stressful it must be to be faced with floods like that!

I like your synastry a lot It looks like one grand trine so far and you guys have Saturn trine Saturn. That aspect alone speaks volumes of your relationship and your ability to work together. I think you guys have a beautiful synastry, naturally with it's difficulties as well but the Saturn trine is a blessing for sure. I'm sure Linda Goodman would agree and even say that with this aspect there's almost nothing you two cannot overcome.

This reading is about how your relationship with Z will be affected by the flood.

The first 3 cards represent you, the querent:
1- The Suffering man: A suffering man was one of the four sights Siddhartha saw in the city. This card can represent illness, suffering, or simply an uncomfortable situation. Of then the situation is of our own making, or perhaps, like Buddha, we are talking on an uncomfortable job to better ourselves in the future. At its highest level, this card represents sacrifice. This card shows that ordinary life always contains dukkha (usually translates as suffering).
2- Seven of Jewels: This card represents the progression of spiritual energy up a stupa. We have to go through stages to advance toward our goal. The gifts are come to us have to descend through stages as well. This may also be a reference to the chakras.
3- Ace of Double Vajras: The double vajra represents action radiating out from a center that is hidden int he center of our soul. If we look deep into our unconscious- into our soul- we will find that our deepest desires are not our own creations. They are like seeds of love and compassion; they need to be nurtured and they need to grow. This represents the beginning of that growth.

The next set of 3 cards represent the other person
1- Ratnadakin-The Dakini of Jewels: Dakinis are goddesses joyously dancing in infinite space. Their name is derived from the Sanskrit word for space, and the space that they dance in is the mind. In the unconscious, our minds are unlimited, and this is where we find the Dakinis, rising up from the endless depths of the unconscious. What is unconscious to us is consciousness the Dakinis. Each Dakini is a representation of an aspect of a Buddha manifesting in the world through our minds. They are like the Anima Mundi of Wester alchemy.
Ratnadakini is the manifestation of Ratnasambhava. She holds his jewel in her right hand. As Ratnasambhava has the power to front any wish, Ratnadakini is how that power is delivered to us. She is an inspiration that is a divine gift. Act on this inspiration. Do not waste it.
2- Ten of Vajras: This card represents misfortune that has come to us apparently through no fault of our own. When we have attained wisdom and clarity of mind, all demons depart because all demons are born of out hopes and fears. Everything in the world is intimately connected to our minds.
3- Nine of Jewels: This card depicts the Treasure Vase. The Nine of Jewels represents all of the benefits that one can have in life, longevity, prosperity, and abundance. Real wealth is to be in harmony with nature. When our internal systems are in balance and we are in harmony with the seasons of nature, our work prospers and nature continues to provide for our needs. This endless abundance.

The last 3 cards represent the relationship between he Querent and the other person
1- Five of Double Vajras: A pot topples spilling milk. Milk is considered a precious ambrosia in Tibet. To spill milk is a tragedy and a symbol of carelessness. To spill milk is compared to being careless with the cherished Buddhist teachings.
2- The Peacock: The Animal of Lotuses: Because of it beauty, the peacock is a bird found in the heaven of the gods. IN Buddhism, it is believed that the peacock creates such beautiful plumage by living on a diet of poisonous plants and snakes. It takes what is poisonous and transforms it into beauty. This card represents transformative power. When a poisonous thought comes into consciousness, let go of it and watch it ascend out to the top of your head.
3- Nine of Vajras: This card depicts fearful vision. The Nine of Vajras represents fear of the future. We fear more than we need to, and therefore make ourselves more uncomfortable than we need to. Work should be constructive, not fearful.

3 cards of Advice
Seven of Lotuses- This care represents anger. By responding to anger with anger, one falls into its poisonous trap. By not echoing the anger of others, we may find that their anger will be dispersed. One must develop the complementary positive quality: kindness. In the martial arts, it is said that the best defense is to develop friendships.
Six of Jewels- This card represents generosity. When one gives to those in need, one gains spiritual benefits.
The Middle Path- Temperance- Temperance means "balance," "beauty," and "health." It represents peace, patience, and the middle path. It can also symbolize the need to accept help. A card to the right of this card may give us more insight into who is playing the part of Sujata and what is the nature of the help that is offered. I drew another card and got Ten of Jewels The **** on this card represents the poison greed, also found in the center of the Wheel of Life. This card represent going beyond prosperity by losing balance. Greed is the belief that one can benefit at the expense of others. This is delusion. When one individual hordes money by improper activity or unfair deals, money does not circulate properly and the real prosperity suffers.

For me, it sounds like this situation is just something that I need to go through, and once I do it will help me grow as a person. It will also help me to cherish the love that I do have for him, and not take the time we share together for granted.

For him, it sounds like this is a very hard time for him, but the situation will also help him grow, and in the end he will have more abundance in his life and his needs will be taken care of.

For both of us, it sounds like as hard as this particular situation may be, it is a very transformative time for us, and we should use this experience as something that would be constructive towards our relationship rather than something that we should be fearful of. All negative experiences help us grow and become stronger than if we had never gone through them.

I think the advice that is being offered is that we shouldn't be angry over the situation that we are facing. We need to be generous towards one another, and help each other through this trying time. We need to be careful of being greedy.
