I`ve just introduced myself to this new tarot deck of mine (I only had the Crowley one before); and incidentally yesterday stumbled over a Soulmate - spread (though I`d rather call it karmic relationship spread) and now want to try it out.So I`m offering 11 readings (just because the spread consists of 11 cards, we have the 11th month of the year 11 and I just love that number so much!). I guess it would be helpful if you asked about a person you feel a deep emotional attachment to, no matter if you are together or not.

Hello Ceridwen...I was wondering if I should get back in touch with my ex. We were very close and intense at one point (I was going to move to be near him) but it ended in a weird way. I was wondering if he thinks the same about me still... Thank you in advance... IP: Logged |

Hi C, Would you please do a reading for me in regards to this specific guy I'm talking to. I met him online about a month ago and we've been talking on the phone every night until we go to sleep. We even leave our phone on while we're asleep. We're just friends for now because we haven't met in real life.My question is...Will we have meet? IP: Logged |

I`m sorry, I think I wasn`t clear in my first post, but I want to limit the readings really to the "soulmate / karmic relationship spread", I am just a beginner, and wouldn`t know what spread to pick. I hope you understand. IP: Logged |

Down to Mars,when I did that spread for the first time, I was using the other person as person A; but when I did your spread something inside insisted on putting you as person A and your Ex as person B. I have no clue why. But maybe you can let me know if you identify more with person A or B, if at all. Your reading --------------- --------------- 1a) Your significator card --------------------------- The Emperor: the spiritual warrior, dynamic, ambitious, structured, strong willed, responsible, protective 1b) his significator card
Page of Swords: keyword: information sharp and clear mind; enjoys witty conversation; communicative; flirtations ------------------------- 2a) your subconscious emotional linkage to him. King of Pentacles: keyword: tradition a sensual steadfast indificual. Your feelings are deep and enruing and your love is not easily won. You are loyal, but possessiveness can stem from your need for security; once you trust someone, you will relax. personal remark: I think this might represent the wish for a lasting bond, very much grounded in reality and sharing of every day life, combined with an earthy sensuality (Pentacles = earth). 2b) his subconscious emotional linkage to you Ace of wands reversed keyword: frustration a lack of connection causes problems, emotional or sexual repression has created barriers. But he won`t be trapped in this place forever: his inner voice will guide him in the right way. --------------------------------------- 3a) past events related to the connection to your Ex Ace of swords reversed keyword: stress communication problems, hold-ups and delays interfering with the rhythm of your relationship. You may be simply waiting to hear from someone, and your anxiety is causing tension. Be patient. 3b) past events related to the connection to you (his perspective) Page of Pentacles. keyword: Good News This card is linked with money, security and family matters. a little windfall or some extra cash could be on the way or happy news about someone close. There was something to celebrate. personal remark: hmm I can`t make a rhyme of this in that booklet. But pages are symbolic of new beginnings and pentacles have to do with the astrological element of earth. So maybe that relates to tender attempts of beginning to materialize the relationship in the here and now, ground it. You said you wanted to move near to him, that would make it more committed I guess, and this would fit the Page of Pentacles imo. -------------------- 4a) What you need8ed) to learn from him or the relationship with him or what you got out of it: Temperance keyword: harmony balance between spiritual and everyday matters; universal awareness; balanced creativity; equal partners or partnership 4b) what he need(ed) to learn from the relationship with you or what he got out of it: Page of Wands: keyword: vitality fun-loving; warmth; movement; invitations, conversations and short trips might have broadened his horizon. To relax and have fun. ------------------------------------ 5a) how the relationship ultimately changed or challenged you: 6 pentacles keyword: gifts The card signifies generosity, gifts. Either the relationship gave you support or you became a great support to him, maybe even some kind of mentor. 5b) his perspective: 10 cups keyword: happiness joy, happiness, enduring, heart-warming love. Deep love and a committed partnership. lasting and strong emotional ties. ---------------- 6) essential karmic link; what brought you together; purpose King of Swords keyword: Intelligence intelligence, curiousity, education. charming flirtations, but waryness of passion and disconcert by overt dispplays of emotion. Mental compatibility is important, without it, boredom increases and you lose interest. IP: Logged |

is this the Lovers Path tarot? because I am just totally in love with itI would love the reading focusing on me and my ex. we are not in each other's lives anymore. he is already with someone else and I have moved on too (atleast so I tell myself) but the connection seems to be TOO strong for both of us. time to time we miss each other, but there is nothing we can do about it. So, just an insight as to what the relationship taught me and what good it is for me. I don't know what spread you're using but you can always modify the positions, i don't know if you do. EDIT: ok saw the spread, wonderful! Thank you so much IP: Logged |

Nice to see you back with a new spread, Ceri! I'd like a read about this guy V. with whom I'm long-distance. Wonder if things will ever work out with him romantically. IP: Logged |

Hi Ceridwen,Would greatly appreciate if you could tell me more about what's in store my marriage in the medium term. My wife and I are excited about my teenaged son heading to college in 2-3 years, although my young son would only be in 4th grade. We would like to possibly move homes to somewhere a bit more sunny and warm. We live in Connecticut. I've been thinking more and more about my retirement and spending more time with my wife, although I'm still in my 40s. Happiness, health and security are ultimately what I seek, and I'm working hard to get there. My question is: what's in store? A million thanks!! IP: Logged |

Blueswan,1a) your significator: 10 swords keyword: betrayal a time of betrayal, endings and occasionally a scandal. Be warey of confiding in others. However, a negative phase is alost over: a relationship or lifestyle no longer works for you, so walk away. Don`t look back. you are beginning a new cycle. 1b) his significator
King of wands keyword: vibrancy a vibrant,e nthusiastic, charismatic character with a great sense of humour. He often represents someone you meet through work. If he is attracted to someone, he makes it known. He may also symbolize a secret lover or someone unavailable. --------------------------- 2a) your subconscious link to him 10 pentacles keyword: family this is all about family, or relationships with parents, siblings and other relatives. Perhaps you are about to introduce a new love to your family or meet his relations? (could it also mean that he feels like "family" to you?) 2b) his subconscious link to you Queen cup keyword: feeling vivid dreamlife; represents a very alluring woman; empathetic qualities make vulnerable when in love. Bottling things up and weeping easily. ----------------------
3a) past events (your perspective) 8 pentacles keyword: study the card of the apprentice and of practiccal efforts. it suggests that a course of study, or acquiring a new skill is exactly what you need for your emotional happiness. 3b) past events: his perspective 9 cups keyword: radiance emotional mental and physical wellbeing. Peak experiences and joyful fulfilment. Current or future relationships bring love and harmony into his world; new levels of intimacy and mutual pleasure are now possible ----------------- 4a) what you gain from the relationship with him 8 wands expansion the "arrows of love"; vibrant energy, expansion. Your social circle, romantic prospects and creativity are all opening up now. New relationships will widen your horizon. 4b) what he gains / learns/ gets from the relationship Ace cups joy love, desire and creativity. it symbolizes the human heart and is profoundly romantic. It often denotes a new love relaitonship. he is on the right path and his heart is ready to receive love. ------------------------------ 5a) how the relationship changes or challenges you 3 swords heartache inner turmoil and tension. An obsessive attraction may turn your world upside down, but fail to develop into a stable relationship. This card may signify love triangles, stressful break-ups or on/off romances. 5b) how it changes / challenges him Page cups Dreams intuition and imagination are especially important now. This is a joyful, happy card and often denotes uplifting news. It has close links with the first stirrings of love and desire. ---------------- 6) karmic essence / purpose / the reason you met 7 cups Potential this looks like fun from the outside, but you may be feeling stressed and confused. You don`t need to make a decision right now. If you are dating several possible partners, just enjoy the variety and dely getting too involved. Eventuially your intuition will guide you in the right direction. personal remark: to me the 7 of cups often shows a tendency to get lost in a dreamworld, which may or may not have the potential to be materialized. There will be a need for a realitycheck and you should talk to each other about what you both want from this relationship. Since this is the karmic-essence-card, it might even stem from a past life, in which deep feelings were shared, but somehow the connection was kind of "hanging in the air". IP: Logged |

Again, at all who want a reading.I find your questions very interesting and intriguing, but I really will only use this one spread I used for Downtomars and BlueSwan (at least for now). I just feel the need to explain that, cause I don´t want you to be disappointed, if these readings give not a clear answer to the question you posted. Maybe if I have trained with this spread, I can move on to "free spreads". IP: Logged |

quote: If the reversed cards are not that valid, the reading would look much more positive.But I am too fresh in this kind of thing to be able to decide if one should use reversed cards or not. Expert opinions?
I'm no expert in this deck but I would think since it's only 11 cards, you really are doing the right thing to use reversed cards. When I use the Rider-Waite deck, I use all 78 cards, which makes it nonsensical to me to also count any reversed cards. Edit: Just realized that you said "the spread consists of 11 cards" not the entire deck. Alright, I don't know if you have a full deck then. My advice is the same: if you have less than a full deck, do use reversions; no need otherwise. IP: Logged |

Ceri, feel free to turn down any q's that do not fit your spread. Some people are too new to this and simply do not understand that their questions are not answerable via such spread. So you have to tell them so! You are the expert here. You can ask them to change the question to a "soulmate" question or you can rephrase it yourself as you best can.

Thank you Ceridwen, I really appreciate it! I enjoyed reading it and it seems pretty positive.I think that I am person A as well… quote: 3b) past events related to the connection to you (his perspective) Page of Pentacles. keyword: Good News This card is linked with money, security and family matters. a little windfall or some extra cash could be on the way or happy news about someone close.

You said you wanted to move near to him, that would make it more committed I guess, and this would fit the Page of Pentacles imo.
This actually makes sense to me because we were long distance half of the time so I was usually “waiting on him” and I was never like that before. The reason why he does the half long distance commute is because he bought a house, it was his first major purchase and he was happy about renovating it... quote: 6) essential karmic link; what brought you together; purpose King of Swords keyword: Intelligence
I think this is spot on because what I really miss most is how intellectually compatible we were… I have this feeling that now is not the right time (esp. for me) so I will have to hold on for a while though. Who knows, something could happen in the meantime…

I'm no. 12? buuhuuhuu EDIT: Nope, I think I made it in time. So much for staying away from readings lol, but I'm curious to know what I need to know about my karmic relationship with the Sag... Since it's definitely karmic, deep and intense... So if you can add me to the list, it would be fantastic. I could use some clarity on the karmic reasons behind all this. I think we are indeed soulmates, but not the "til death do us part" type, unfortunately. Still, I'd like to know. We each have planets in the other's 12th house, his Sun on my SN, my Saturn on his Asc... but you already know all that. Would just like to know the reason behind all the drama. Thank you!!!!! PS: I never use reversals. IP: Logged |

Ceri, when I get my modjo back on (was unable to pick up the cards lately) can I do this spread for your question? I think it would be awesome combined with the Osho Zen Tarot I intended to use for your question. I'll also be doing my own spreads that I am familiar with, but always like to try new things. Let me know if this is ok with you. You're my 11. I think I'm your 10. LOL. Not sure I counted well lol. Well, it IS 2 am here... IP: Logged |

I do not know which number I am and whether my question fits, but if you think you would use this deck to help me read my lesson, I would be so grateful. You read the synastry and composite of me and Wing, and it's pointing to something very karmic. With those 2 charts quite challenging, I would not count on it being "the one" so to speak. But we have met for a karmic purpose, if we are meant to met to teach/heal something, I'd like to understand, so I can try my best to learn what I am supposed to and to help him in the way our relationship's supposed to. In summary, what is the karmic purpose for me and for him of this relationship IP: Logged |
