I'd like to know what the potential for the man who captivates my heart and mind and I being in a relationship is. We presently are in a very non-committal thing, I'd like to know if I captivate his heart and mind the same way?

Someone send me a question!!

The devil
U know this card represents inner fears and frustrations. This card is telling me that b4 u even start a relationship, u have doubts and fears about it. This is perhaps y u attract these types of relationships in the 1st place. If u've ever read the book "the secret" it explains that what u think is what u attract. Maybe u even have trust issues as well. Ur fears r blocking u from attracting a healthy relationship.

2 of cups
Ah here is ur desire for a partner as u have already expressed. This seems to b something u really really want. 2 of cups also respresents reconcilations as well. R u quick to forgive and forget in relationships? as it appears u desire that peace and harmony and balance of opposites. Maybe even put too much trust in ur partners early on in the relationship.

7 of cups
The 'daydream' card is what I like to call this. This card indicates u romanticize a lot or have expectations that r not grounded in reality. Kind of like an overactive imagination lol nothing wrong with that but I get the feeling there is some confusion at some point - ur fantasies and 'ideal' don't match up to ur reality. Ur head is a little too much in the clouds.

*note* I reshuffled and pulled another card and asked for further clarification:

The moon - there is uncertainty and def confusion. I don't think ur seeing these men clearly at 1st. If I combine this card with the devil, id say perhaps ur past is clouding ur judgement. Things r never what they seem at 1st in ur relationships. This card also can warn of lies and deceit in some cases. R u repeatly lied to in ur relationships? Either that or ur very afraid that is what they will do and u try to surpress it. What things look like under the light of the moon look quite different in daylight.

I think maybe ur judgement is a little off with men but ur fears r attracting the wrong ppl. And based on ur reading I don't feel is something ur even aware of, I feel is subconscious. Aw sweetie I could cry as it seems r looking for love or at the very least something that is pure, not flings or anything shallow and meaningless. If I could reach thru this phone and give u a big hug I would. Yes I'm an emotional twit I know lol ur answer is that for as much as u desire a happy partnership, ur fears r blocking it from coming to u. Whatever is it u give power to in ur thoughts is what u have been attracting.

Okay, so I definitely see him closed off in the 4 of Pentacles. This has nothing to do with you - it is within him. He's suspicious and thinks if he doesn't open up, then he'll always have the upper-hand. I see you as the Page of Cups, very sweet and generous but you're offering yourself to someone who's not even open to accepting it. You're a bit timid in standing up for yourself and this could be a problem in relationships. I see the 2 of Wands and 5 of Cups as capturing the epitome of the times you saw each other and perhaps it was not as great as your mind is making it out to be. I keep feeling as though he was more about himself those two times, than about YOU.

On the other hand I think you may be getting slightly disappointed/depressed over this because your feeling pressured to give up your dream of a fairy-tale romance. There's a TON of Cups in this reading, so emotions, and idealism play a huge part in this.

I still see him being a flirt in the future but you won't put up with this for much longer. You have to own your power and be strong in standing your ground which is what I think the King of Pentacles stands for, partly. On another note I got the feeling another man is on his way into your life but he'll be quiet about his entrance. I think this is someone who would take you and your relationship as seriously as you're taking them as well.

So yes, everything you said is true! I don't know why but when it comes to men I DATE, I cannot see them clearly. I make excuses for their red flags or think that is just how they are and it has nothing to do with me, yet I still continue or want to continue the relationship. Yes I have read The Secret, it's one of my favorite books! I just realized today after your reading why I'm attracting unhealthy guys and it's because for the longest time I was jaded about love and I saw my friends getting screwed over, or girls on TV getting screwed over by guys. I thought there's no trustworthy ones left, so voila - no wonder I keep getting untrustworthy, unsavory guys. I didn't think it was as simple as that though. I thought there was something I was doing to attract them (I'm a very honest person though so I couldn't figure out why liars and manipulators love me.)

I do have fears about relationships ending because I'm the type of person who also sees a friend in her lovers. I don't like cutting people off or having people come and go as I'd rather work out whatever kinks there are rather than search for something different. I'm also afraid of settling down and leading a boring traditional life, so I suppose that's why I subconsciously go for guys that are bad to me - the contrast. SIgh. What to do, what to do...

Just wondering if you still would like a reading? And, if you have time to exchange? I was at work all day.

Strength
Temperance
Queen of wands

At this time my cards do not c anyone in ur immediate future. Strength is suggesting that u have the inner strength to face ur problems but u need to have some faith in ur abilities. Temperance CAN mean a reconcilation and potential for a happy relationship but I do not c any relationship cards or court cards (kings or knights) to support this. This card is saying to u to have patience and slow down. Listen to ur inner voice. The queen of wands is u my dear. U r about to enter creative phase in ur life. This queen respresents someone who is passionate and energetic yet warm and generous and knows what she wants. I'm not sure if this will b directed into work/career but its a possibility.

Yeah... I do expect everything to be fast and instant once I'm over something else, lol. I often come up as the Queen of Wands too, and yes I know what you mean about Temperence. Actually both the Queen of Wands and Strength are fiery cards and remind me of my first boyfriend. I think he's probably going to re-enter my life somehow because his best friend just contacted me saying she missed me and we've began hanging out again. However, like you said it's not etched in stone! I'm a strong person by nature though. I suppose it could also be saying if I want it to happen then I need to make it happen with the ingredients I have (Temperence - mixing)

Weird though because I've REALLY been aching to be creative! I feel like I don't have any time for creativity any more and I just need to relax and have more time on my hands. I've been thinking of looking for a job at a bank and leaving my job right now (retail), and then there's school and moving and lots of stuff going on, so...

Great! I'll do your reading now...

My question is actually posted earlier (in my first post). Still the exact same question...I would only add that although we have a relationship which is built on friendship and mutual admiration, and he's flat-out told me at this point he's not wanting to get into anything serious with anyone - I feel this truth in me that I care a great deal and desire to spend more time with him (sans obligation and traditional relationship boundaries)...Still - I am AFRAID to tell him how I feel for fear I'll be rejected.

It's a lot of info I just gave you - I am uncertain how to frame the questions - I'm sure you'll do well by it though!

posted April 24, 2012 12:21 AM            

First of all, I will say that when I read for people, each reading is unique - not only by the inherent nature of Tarot - but in that I let the cards create the spread on their own. I ask questions, much like a detective to get to the heart of the issues/concerns/questions - and find the common thread.

My first question was simply a clarifying card on your energy, as I also am often flooded with clairvoyant imagery when I connect with individuals...with you, I first saw an empty stage in a classic theatre - no lights on - deep blue curtains pulled open. This tells me you are someone who tends to wear your heart on your sleeve; there has been a drama which has unfolded recently for you. The card I pulled was the Magician - the master of creativity, the elements, and can harness these for positive or, at worst, deception (i see self-deception happening with this energy - not outwardly expressed).

Furthermore, onto your reading regarding your future love life - whether you will find a good love relationship? I begin with the questioning of:

Where you find yourself now regarding relationships? The Hermit. My sense is that while you tend to wear your heart on your sleeve, you're in a place of licking some wounds right now and healing - learning from mistakes and successes - and while integrating this, desirous of sharing that which you learn with others. No wonder than that you began a reading exchange thread.

What is the motivation behind your current position affecting relationships (why are you no longer wearing your heart on your sleeve?): III of Hearts:
You have experienced some meaningful and emotional, passionate relationships juxtaposed together with not much time between. It's as though you've rebounded from rebounds - and your heart is weary. Here, I'm reluctant to use the word "heart-broken" - though I'm sure you are no stranger to the feeling - my sense is that you have more often than not been the one to end these relationships; but there is an awareness in you that it is taking a toll on you mentally and emotionally.

How can you prepare yourself to be emotionally available for a healthy, positive love relationship? The Emperor:
If any of these former flames is still renting space in your heart/head - it's time to take that space back. The energy of the Emperor is masculine, active, dominant, and strategic. Assess the areas of your life that need healing - and take decisive action to regain control of them. Whatever you are most passionate about, (that dim theater comes to mind) - turn the lights on! Nevermind what people will say - it's your life - live it.
Also - the Emperor to me looks much like the Hermit (in this spread anyhow) returning to his rightful place of grace and strength after time away in solitude. Still seated alone, he is down from the mountains and we understand him to be amongst his people. If you are isolated now from some people in your life - reconnecting with them will be part of reconnecting with yourself as a means to heal.

Before I go on - I will say here that with two Major Arcana cards and one Sword minor as part of your spread thus far - I feel strongly that a love relationship of any value to you will only come once you are content with yourself.

What thought/behavior patterns need to be changed to avoid negative relationship archetypes? The Empress.
Wow. This layout is impressive right now. So charged with heavy hitters. The Empress is a beautiful card, the royal woman in repose on the soft pillows, her starry-Venusian crown, the fertile grounds: all speak to abundance, beauty, and of course, fertility. The image has always at first glance shown me a woman who has the means to share her abundance with anyone/everyone she chooses. And yet - there is in this posterity and generosity, a kind of isolation and loneliness. There is a lacking of intimacy that this woman, in her role as stoic provider seems to whisper of...That the energy of The Emperor (the yang to the yin of The Empress), is how you can begin to prepare for a healthy relationship - it truly amazes me (as Tarot often does) - the clarity then of The Empress as what thought/behavior patterns you can change to avoid negative relationships. It strikes me that you tend to caregive and/or have a reluctancy to truly share your heart with someone. It will be time to open up and share the abundance of your love if you are to experience a good loving relationship.

When will this good loving relationship come into your life? III of Wands, Reversed.
There will be a couple of meaningful relationships which certainly teach you more about how to share and love - but that one you seek, you will find when you know inside you needn't seek any longer - because you've found such a loving relationship with your self. It looks like about three summers (including this one) to me - only if you don't force things. Go with the flow - trust your process, trust the source.

First, I want to say thank you for the reading. It was lovely and I was really impressed with what you picked up on! There were a couple parts I was so-so about, but I'll get to that in my feedback for you.

Yes, I'm an open person for the most part. I speak my mind often and loudly, but not my emotions. Mainly because my mind and emotions seem to go hand in hand with each other but I also feel people don't really understand how to handle me when I'm emotional. The stage is also apt for me because I love to sing and play piano. I'm good but I'm a perfectionist, so while I haven't performed publicly yet it is a goal of mine to.

The Hermit - Mm... yes and no. I'm not alone by choice, but I'm picky and the only person I would be in a relationship with right now won't because we work at the same place. Plus he isn't putting forth a lot of effort so I'm kind of bitter I got my hopes up for something that probably isn't going to happen. I think this card also stands for my search for a good relationship too.

3 of Hearts - Yes! I've kind of never had a good relationship to compare. I had an intensely crappy relationship that taught me a LOT but was hell to go through for a first-timer, and since then there's been guys that came and went but I didn't connect with on all levels, wasn't attracted to. And they're not even flings or anything like that, it just doesn't last. I suppose yes I'm the one who ended them... I just don't like wasting time on unfulfilling people (not saying their unfulfilling in general but to me) However I wouldn't say they were meaningful at all.

The Emperor - I'm not really isolated from anyone I care about, but I do know what you're saying here. I'm a very Queen of Cups kind of person on the inside, but Queen of Wands on the outside. I do a lot of feeling and thinking and passivity... The Emperor seems to be calling for more action and less "wading through" per se. Unfortunately my parents restrict what I can and can't do but it's starting to really rub me the wrong way I'm not allowed to live my own life at 23.

The Empress - I get very scared and very emotional when I feel myself merging with another person. I wonder if it would be different if my parents weren't so controlling, too. I'm a sweet person but other than what I already do I'm not sure how to share my heart with someone. I learned how to accept someone paying for me/pampering me, and I do tend to kind of mother the people who know I'm interested in them (this is assuming they're interested back). I'm not sure how else to function/thought everyone functioned that way which leaves me feeling a bit confused about this interpretation.

And yes, the just "knowing" part makes sense. Often times I don't know what I'm looking for when I'm shopping but I go home happy with everything I needed. For a long time I didn't trust (I have a hard time not being skeptical or suspicious) that I would just "know," but little by little I get signs that everything is going to be okay.

I can c y u would say u have come up as queen of wands b4. It seems to match ur personality from what u have said. I could b wrong and indeed temperance could mean there is someone (the x). I just felt as if the reading was more focused on u. Like strength said have faith in YOURself, temperance said listen YOUR inner voice and them bam the queen of wands was YOU. The only court cards was that queen. But hey I'm open to suggestion lol

Ur reading for me sounded pretty accurate actually. My ex is just a flirt by nature and I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Its what we do to tohers that counts. U said I wouldn't put up with it for much longer and the truth is I AM getting fed up with it lol on this chat line we r friends (similar to fb) and he sent me a msg sun night and said 'goodnight sexy ) and then I read my status updates as well when I logged on and here he commented on another woman's pic and was flirting....yeah he so got ignored by me for that lol if he wants to flirt with everyone I won't stand in his way cuz that's his right but that's not what I want from a man and it doesn't make me feel special. Next!

I've considered Saturn is the delay, but at the same time I've also adjusted my tastes as well. For one I've never been someone who likes a man just because he's attractive. You could be Brad Pitt but if the lights aren't on upstairs and you can't hold my attention, I could care less. I NEED mental stimulation, it's just that it always seems to come with a price or a catch. Plus, I'm 23. How long can Saturn REALLY delay anything? What if I didn't even know about astrology, would anything be delayed?

Of course I'd like to continue exchanging! I have to do Wild Places' reading first which won't be 'til later tonight, but I'd be happy to do yours after.

So I used to different decks for you by chance, and got interesting results.

Page of Cups x 8 of Wands x Wheel of Fortune rx x 3 of Wands rx x 8 of Swords rx

I drew the Page of Cups, and 8 of Swords in both of them. In both cases I see you as the Page of Cups. You're expressive of your interest although you don't get to talk as often as you'd like. It's innocent enough without placing heavy expectations on the other person, but I believe that's somewhat what you're fearing. That if you're direct and ask for what you want this other guy isn't going to be able to handle it. He might buckle and you will feel like you have to start all over again.

That being said, I don't see a relationship starting in the near future. However, I see something cropping up for you but feel it will be kept quiet or a bit of a secret at first in order to protect both parties in the relationship, and to make sure it is a peaceful one. There seem to be people around you who would take interest in bringing down your successes.
