1. Will you find true love?
2 of Clouds – Schizophrenia

quote:

---

Man is split. Schizophrenia is a normal condition of man--at least now. It may not have been so in the primitive world, but centuries of conditioning, civilization, culture and religion have made man a crowd--divided, split, contradictory....
But because this split is against his nature, deep down somewhere hidden the unity still survives. Because the soul of man is one, all the conditionings at the most destroy the periphery of the man. But the center remains untouched--that's how man continues to live. But his life has become a hell.
The whole effort of Zen is how to drop this schizophrenia, how to drop this split personality, how to drop the divided mind of man, how to become undivided, integrated, centered, crystallized.
The way you are, you cannot say that you are. You don't have a being. You are a marketplace--many voices. If you want to say 'yes', immediately the 'no' is there. You cannot even utter a simple word 'yes' with totality....
In this way happiness is not possible; unhappiness is a natural consequence of a split personality.
The person on this card brings a new twist to the old idea of "getting stuck between a rock and a hard place"! But we are in precisely this sort of situation when we get stuck in the indecisive and dualistic aspect of the mind. Should I let my arms go and fall head-first, or let my legs go and fall feet-first? Should I go here or there? Should I say yes or no? And whatever decision we make, we will always wonder if we should have decided the other way.
The only way out of this dilemma is, unfortunately, to let go of both at once. You can't work your way out of this one by solving it, making lists of pros and cons, or in any way working it out with your mind. Better to follow your heart, if you can find it. If you can't find it, just jump--your heart will start beating so fast there will be no mistake about where it is!

---

This card is a warning that, though you may want to find true love, the direction and the attitude you're coming from is not one that will produce the desired outcome. You seem split between choices, unsure which is the best one you should take. I think that Saturn transit has hit you pretty hard, perhaps you are now in the aftermath, trying to figure out what's left and what you can do with the remainings. I think you should consider your position in this matter, think about how you approach love and relationships and what is it exactly that would make you happy. Once you find out your answer, stick with it, don't get caught up between choices again. Until you become "whole" (un-split), true love cannot enter your life because you are not yet ready to receive it. You wouldn't recognize the right choice from the possibilities. This is why some self-reflection is necessary.

2. Will the attraction be instant or a slow-burning process?
5 of Water – Clinging to the past

quote:

---

The figure pictured in this card is so preoccupied with clutching her box of memories that she has turned her back on the sparkling champagne glass of blessings available here and now. Her nostalgia for the past really makes her a 'blockhead', and a beggar besides, as we can see from her patched and ragged clothes. She needn't be a beggar, of course--but she is not available to taste the pleasures that offer themselves in the present.

It's time to face up to the fact that the past is gone, and any effort to repeat it is a sure way to stay stuck in old blueprints that you would have already outgrown if you hadn't been so busy clinging to what you have already been through. Take a deep breath, put the box down, tie it up in a pretty ribbon if you must, and bid it a fond and reverent farewell. Life is passing you by, and you're in danger of becoming an old fossil before your time!

Well, the description of this card is not useful for this position. Being a Cloud card, I would say your man is an agile, perhaps slender person, mentally alert, always on the move. He could be older or at least he matured because of life's difficulties, as suggested by this card representing him.

4. Emotional traits of your true love
3 of Rainbows – Guidance

quote:

---

The angelic figure with rainbow-colored wings on this card represents the guide that each of us carries within. Like the second figure in the background, we may sometimes be a little reluctant to trust this guide when it comes to us, because we are so accustomed to taking our cues from the outside rather than from the inside.

The truth of your own deepest being is trying to show you where to go right now, and when this card appears it means you can trust the inner guidance you are being given. It speaks in whispers, and sometimes we can hesitate, not knowing if we have understood rightly. But the indications are clear: in following the inner guide you will feel more whole, more integrated, as if you are moving outwards from the very center of your being. If you go with it, this beam of light will carry you exactly where you need to go.

---

I think emotionally, this person is quite stable, in tune with his inner emotions and true self. He is his own guide, but that doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate hints from the Universe coming to him in various forms. He is an emotionally mature person, that is my impression from the two cards combined. He has had a difficult life, he has lost precious things, but he had the strength to pull himself out of the darkness and find his own inner light. This man will be of great help to you, in figuring out your own personal dilemmas.

5. Issues that you need to deal with, that are delaying this meeting
8 of Water – Letting go

quote:

---

In this image of lotus leaves in the early morning, we can see in the rippling of the water that one drop has just fallen. It is a precious moment, and one that is full of poignancy. In surrendering to gravity and slipping off the leaf, the drop loses its previous identity and joins the vastness of the water below. We can imagine that it must have trembled before it fell, just on the edge between the known and the unknowable.

To choose this card is a recognition that something is finished, something is completing. Whatever it is--a job, a relationship, a home you have loved, anything that might have helped you to define who you are--it is time to let go of it, allowing any sadness but not trying to hold on. Something greater is awaiting you, new dimensions are there to be discovered. You are past the point of no return now, and gravity is doing its work. Go with it--it represents liberation.

---

posted November 22, 2011 04:45 PM            

quote:

---

The butterfly in this card represents the outer, that which is constantly moving and that which is not real but an illusion. Behind the butterfly is the face of consciousness, looking inward to that which is eternal. The space between the two eyes has opened, revealing the lotus of spiritual unfoldment and the rising sun of awareness. Through the rising of the inner sun, meditation is born.

The card reminds us not to look outside for what is real, but to look within. When we focus on externals, we too often get caught up in judgments--this is good, this is bad, I want this, I don't want that. These judgments keep us trapped in our illusions, our sleepiness, our old habits and patterns. Drop your opinionated mind, and move inside. There, you can relax into your own deepest truth, where the difference between dreams and reality is already known.

---

7. When/Where/How you will meet this person?
King of Water - Healing

quote:

---

It is a time when the deeply buried wounds of the past are coming to the surface, ready and available to be healed. The figure in this card is naked, vulnerable, open to the loving touch of existence. The aura around his body is full of light, and the quality of relaxation, caring and love that surrounds him is dissolving his struggle and suffering. Lotuses of light appear on his physical body, and around the subtle energy bodies that healers say surround each of us. In each of these subtle layers appears a healing crystal or pattern.

When we are under the healing influence of the King of Water we are no longer hiding from ourselves or others. In this attitude of openness and acceptance we can be healed, and help others also to be healthy and whole.

You`re right the last year really did a number on me. It left a lot of wreckage and opened my eyes to a number of things. And it`s clear that things cannot go on the way they have in the past. So I appreciate your honesty because I want to move forward. Right now I`m sorting it that out. I see where your coming from. I`m going to need to be `whole` again and figure out what I really want and let go of the past, old patterns before I find love.

And yes about my love interest, I agree with you, he`s in my life for a purpose even if we aren`t meant to be together... It`s helpful to know that the purpose will soon become clear. I already have an idea about why I`d like a relationship with him. And yes, it says a lot about ME. Who I am, what I desire out of life right now. Thankfully this is a step forward for me. So I think at the very least, he`s made me realize that I really need a very different kind of relationship than I would have thought would have been right for me 2-3 years ago.

Life has been hinting at me that I really should be taking the time to figure out what makes me happy. Thank you for spelling it out.

Cecile, you're very welcome and I hope the reading helped. I hope I wasn't coming on too strongly, I tried to soften the message a bit, I know it can be hard to swallow sometimes... I wish I could give everyone happy and positive readings... but I prayed that the cards I choose will give you the message that you need to hear... and this seems to be it.

Love will come, don't worry! When you'll both be ready to receive it, you will meet your true love. Best of luck to you!

It's very kind of you to offer these readings.

I met a man online about two weeks ago. It started off as little messages turned into full blown essay messages. Now, we text each other on a daily basis. As silly as it may sound, I felt it was love at first sight (as much as it could be given the circumstances, haha). We're both each other's ideal type looks, personality wise, have very similar interests, and come from similar backgrounds. He lives a few hundred miles away from me, but we talk about how we want to visit each other, and he says that he'd like to visit me as soon as possible.

1. Is this person a soulmate?

King of Rainbows – Abundance

quote:

---

This Dionysian character is the very picture of a whole man, a "Zorba the Buddha" who can drink wine, dance on the beach and sing in the rain, and at the same time enjoy the depths of understanding and wisdom that belong to the sage. In one hand he holds a lotus, showing that he respects and contains within himself the grace of the feminine. His exposed chest (an open heart) and relaxed belly show that he is at home with his masculinity as well, utterly self-contained.
The four elements of earth, fire, water and sky all conjunct at the King of Rainbows who sits atop the book of the wisdom of life. If you are a woman, the King of Rainbows brings the support of your own male energies into your life, a union with the soul mate within. For a man, this card represents a time of breaking through the conventional male stereotypes and allowing the fullness of the whole human being to shine forth.

---

I think this card depicts him and yes, I think he is definitely a soulmate (even the card description hints to that). The reason why you two have met will be revealed further down the reading.

2. Will he be a friend/ What is the potential for friendship between you two?

10 of Water – Harmony

quote:

---

Listen to your heart, move according to your heart, whatsoever the stake: A condition of complete simplicity costing not less than everything.... To be simple is arduous, because to be simple costs everything that you have. You have to lose all to be simple.
That's why people have chosen to be complex and they have forgotten how to be simple. But only a simple heart throbs with God, hand in hand. Only a simple heart sings with God in deep harmony. To reach to that point you will have to find your heart, your own throb, your own beat.
The experience of resting in the heart in meditation is not something that can be grasped or forced. It comes naturally, as we grow more and more in tune with the rhythms of our own inner silences. The figure on this card reflects the sweetness and delicacy of this experience. The dolphins that emerge from the heart and make an arc towards the third eye reflect the playfulness and intelligence that comes when we are able to connect with the heart and move into the world from there.

Let yourself be softer and more receptive now, because an inexpressible joy is waiting for you just around the corner. Nobody else can point it out to you, and when you find it you won't be able to find the words to express it to others. But it's there, deep within your heart, ripe and ready to be discovered.

The Queen of Clouds – Morality

quote:

---

Morality has restricted all the juice and energy of life to the narrow confines of her mind. It can't flow there, so she really has become 'a dried up old prune'. Her whole manner is very proper and stiff and severe, and she is always ready to see every situation as black and white, like the jewel she wears around her neck.
The Queen of Clouds lurks in the minds of all of us who have been brought up with rigid ideas of good and bad, sinful and virtuous, acceptable and unacceptable, moral and immoral. It's important to remember that all these judgments of the mind are just products of our conditioning. And whether our judgments are applied to ourselves or to others, they keep us from experiencing the beauty and godliness that lies within. Only when we break through the cage of our conditioning and reach the truth of our own hearts can we begin to see life as it really is.

---

I think this card appearing in this position might mean that for love to flourish between you two, you need to overcome the preconditionings in your mind, the set patterns of your thinking that things should be like this or like that. Rather than that, try to be more open, receptive and flexible about this matter. Perhaps this relationship will break your previous patterns – it looks like that; it will push you beyond your preconceived limitations and a new vision and life style will emerge as the consequence.

4. Why was he brought into your life?

Page of Fire – Playfulness

quote:

---

The moment you start seeing life as non-serious, a playfulness, all the burden on your heart disappears. All the fear of death, of life, of love--everything disappears. One starts living with a very light weight or almost no weight. So weightless one becomes, one can fly in the open sky.
Zen's greatest contribution is to give you an alternative to the serious man. The serious man has made the world, the serious man has made all the religions. He has created all the philosophies, all the cultures, all the moralities; everything that exists around you is a creation of the serious man.
Zen has dropped out of the serious world. It has created a world of its own which is very playful, full of laughter, where even great masters behave like children.
Life is rarely as serious as we believe it to be, and when we recognize this fact, it responds by giving us more and more opportunities to play. The woman in this card is celebrating the joy of being alive, like a butterfly that has emerged from its chrysalis into the promise of the light. She reminds us of the time when we were children, discovering seashells on the beach or building castles in the sand without any concern that the waves might come and wash them away in the next moment. She knows that life is a game, and she's playing the part of a clown right now with no sense of embarrassment or pretense.

When the Page of Fire enters your life, it is a sign that you are ready for the fresh and the new. Something wonderful is just on the horizon, and you have just the right quality of playful innocence and clarity to welcome it with open arms.

Ace of Clouds – Consciousness

quote:

---

Most of the cards in this suit of the mind are either cartoon-like or troubled, because the influence of the mind in our lives is generally either ridiculous or oppressive. But this card of Consciousness shows a vast Buddha figure. He is so expansive he has gone even beyond the stars, and above his head is pure emptiness. He represents the consciousness that is available to all who become a master of the mind and can use it as the servant it is meant to be.

When you choose this card, it means that there is a crystal clarity available right now, detached, rooted in the deep stillness that lies at the core of your being. There is no desire to understand from the perspective of the mind--the understanding you have now is existential, whole, in harmony with the pulse of life itself. Accept this great gift, and share it.

---

It seems like your purpose in his life is to make him aware of the universal truths, which are familiar to you, but not to him. You need to raise his consciousness and awareness level to life's hidden truths. You being such a spiritually gifted soul, I think you are very suited for this role.

6. What do you need to do to become a part of his life

Queen of Fire – Sharing

quote:

---

The Queen of Fire is so rich, so much a queen, that she can afford to give. It doesn't even occur to her to take inventories or to put something aside for later. She dispenses her treasures without limits, welcoming all and sundry to partake of the abundance, fertility and light that surrounds her.
When you draw this card, it suggests that you too are in a situation where you have an opportunity to share your love, your joy and your laughter. And in sharing, you find that you feel even more full. There is no need to go anywhere or to make any special effort. You find that you can enjoy sensuality without possessiveness or attachment, can give birth to a child or to a new project with an equal sense of creativity fulfilled.

Everything around you seems to be "coming together" now. Enjoy it, ground yourself in it, and let the abundance in you and around you overflow.

---

In addition to the Page of Fire previously drawn, which is his purpose in your life, to be able to be a part of his life, you need to fully embrace the Fire philosophy of life. You having a fiery nature, I don't think it will be hard to do, but that Queen of Clouds is here for a reason also – to show maybe where you will be blocked in receiving all this warmth and generosity. Address the issues that are standing in the way of your progress.

8 of Fire – Traveling

quote:

---

The tiny figure moving on the path through this beautiful landscape is not concerned about the goal. He or she knows that the journey is the goal, the pilgrimage itself is the sacred place. Each step on the path is important in itself. When this card appears in a reading, it indicates a time of movement and change. It may be a physical movement from one place to the next, or an inner movement from one way of being to another. But whatever the case, this card promises that the going will be easy and will bring a sense of adventure and growth; there is no need to struggle or plan too much.
The Traveling card also reminds us to accept and embrace the new, just as when we travel to another country with a different culture and environment than the one we are accustomed to. This attitude of openness and acceptance invites new friends and experiences into our lives.

---

In order for him to welcome you in his life and receive the wonderful gift of Consciousness you need to offer him, he needs to become ready and receptive for it, like when embarking on a journey – which could be physical, emotional, romantic or spiritual. He needs to be willing to take this chance, this risk, as any journey involves a risk, especially when embarking into the unknown. It takes a lot of maturity to be able to do so with an open mind and heart, but he seems like he is apt for this challenge.
I am, again, in awe just looking how many Fire cards you have in your reading – I think it is a nice parallel with the other reading I did for you and seems to suggest that this is indeed the right path for you, a path that this person in here in your life to strengthen.

8. What is the potential of this relationship

7 of Rainbows – Patience

quote:

---

There are times when the only thing to do is to wait. The seed has been planted, the child is growing in the womb, the oyster is coating the grain of sand and making it into a pearl.

This card reminds us that now is a time when all that is required is to be simply alert, patient, waiting. The woman pictured here is in just such an attitude. Contented, with no trace of anxiety, she is simply waiting. Through all the phases of the moon passing overhead she remains patient, so in tune with the rhythms of the moon that she has almost become one with it. She knows it is a time to be passive, letting nature take its course. But she is neither sleepy nor indifferent; she knows it is time to be ready for something momentous. It is a time full of mystery, like the hours just before the dawn. It is a time when the only thing to do is to wait.

---

This relationship has a lot of potential, but it is still in its early stages. This card advises you not to rush things (as Fire is usually tempted to), but rather wait and let it unfold in its due time. Everything you need to go through, all the knowledge you need to receive shall be provided to you, but that time hasn't arrived yet. Don't hurry, rather enjoy the slow-pace and remember that each moment has its own beauty, even if it doesn't yet produce the results we want so badly. Love is a journey, not a destination – don't rush to the destination so that you don't have time to smell the flowers on the road trip.

now that you have read and sensed already for why "We are here together at this point in time" do u think he could be my twinflame ? it has never happened to me before that every sign and every vision i have/see at this time is leading me to believe that "i have known him for many lifetimes." and it is nowhere close to the kind of attraction we feel in terms of soulmates. i feel i know him already , a lot about him and he has been brought to me so we get "healed" in some way and create something new . and spirituality plays a major role in it as all this information is coming to me through the same consciousness that you have described in ur reading .
i want to confirm if what i am thinking is "true or not" ?

could it be possible for you to answer the same ?
i feel we have a jint purpose to have come together at this time .....i really need to explore on this "possibility" in order to move ahead with him and make him understand as well about things that he is yet not aware of . if you could help that would be greatly appreciated. if not , that's okay too ... you already have invested much time and effort to put all this together for me and i am hugely thankful from the bottom of my heart for this kind help from you ..!

I got some warning signs, 7 of Cups for you, meaning you might like to day-dream about you two or idealize him, something is not clear in your perception of him. I got Moon for him, which is also a card of deception (deceiving or being deceived). It seems like things are not exactly clear between you two, you don't know exactly how you stand with each other....

I think your expectations may be a little unrealistic (again, that 7 of Cups doesn't feel right), I got the Ace of Cups for your intentions with him. Make sure you see him for whom he is and not have an idealistic view of him (I also got the 7 of Swords for you - you refusing to see the truth). ...

Talk frankly with him about your relationship, see where he's coming from. ...

...talk to him about your relationship with each other and see what he's intending.... As I said, I can't put my finger on it exactly what he's hiding from you, but I believe a honest discussion with him will set matters on the right path.
The outcome cards were very positive, so I think you could risk asking him.

Hi Hera,

I am wondering if I could change my question. I was asking about friendship with my ex-bf & his wife, instead of dwelling in my current relationship again. But with the advice from the reading you did for me, I took some action today: I wrote him a meaty email on how I feel about our relationship and what I am looking for and what his intentions are, in a less blunt way (as you suggested ).

So now, I'd like to ask instead where we are and where we are going from here (ie with that "we need to talk" msg that guys usually hate, but I think necessary in this case).

Dear Babycolors,

I think asking if you are twin flames may not be a good idea and I feel uncomfortable doing a reading to answer that. I believe this is all terminology. It doesn't matter if the cards say you are twin flames or not - it doesn't make this encounter any less special or more special. You are asking in confirmation and out of need of reassurance - this is something only you can know/will find out in time. I cannot answer this question for you and deny you of discovering the truth in your heart/influence you. Your heart already knows the truth even though the mind is in doubt.

It will always be in time, because I believe I will get it at a particular time for a cosmic reason. So if I get it before next step, it will be cos I need the advice, and if I don't, it just means that it is my life lesson to learn it on my own
