Ohhh my the wonderful choices! I'll take the general spread because I am impatient. I want to know what's on the horizon for me with love. Thank you!!

The first three cards (the crux so to speak) is 9 of Pentacles, 9 of Wands, and the 5 of Cups. You've fought hard to get where you are in life; you've arrived (it seems financially or professionally) and have the ability to enjoy things now, however, you can't, because you are focusing on what you DON'T have, i.e. love, instead of appreciating what you do have (refinement, vitality/prestige [the Sun in the 8th], and intelligence.) I feel like this is because you are a fighter; you like to be in control, and you very much know what you want. However, remember, the Universe often has other plans. She likes to jack us up at the oddest times.

The 5th position, your feelings, is the 9 of Cups. Notice that the heart of the issue and your feelings are all 9's. You feel like you're ALMOST there, but for some reason, you can't quite get to the 10's total completion. This is probably driving you crazy, because you want the total package... however, right now you have to take a break. I have the 4 of Swords in the present (6th), and to me, mentally, you are driving yourself insane. I also have the 4 of Cups in the Past (4th) which to me means you are perhaps finally starting to be less discerning and loosen your grip on the "ideal partner" which is extremely beneficial. This ideal partner shows up in your hopes (9th): the Knight of Cups. You want this offer, this romantic partner so desperately; in your 7th (how you view yourself) is the 3 of Pentacles. You're a team player. You see a partner as a fundamental need to further your success.

Which brings me to the outcome. You want the Knight, but it might be you get a Page of Cups instead. Someone a little less glorious, a little less experienced, but with the possibility of an offer and a lot of love to give himself. It'd be good for you to exercise a newfound judgment of "bending" to the Universe in the coming month or so. My outcome time frame is always 1 to 3 months. I don't like to go anything beyond that. If you feel a stirring or catch a person's eye across a room... try it. Even if they aren't what you want 100%. I think you'll find love sooner, or at least find more opportunities for it sooner, if you start loosening the reins on your life. It's great for work, but sometimes, spontaneity and craziness on the path to love is the only way.

Why they want change: King of Pentacles (r)
Why they need change: The Sun
What they want from change: Justice

What they can do to achieve change: Queen of Cups
What will be affected for the worse: 5 of Cups
What will be affected for the better: The Emperor

Mental obstacle to recognize: 4 of Pentacles
The likely outcome: The Devil
The new possibility as a result: 8 of Wands

It seems to me you need relocation or a change because someone (I find court cards are most often people -- others or ourselves) or something has become domineering and over-bearing. A lot of times, if this is a person, they are not emotional and too focused on work. They get tunnel vision in the worst way and only focus on themselves. You feel stifled, and you recognize this in Justice. You hope to balance the situation and restore order to your life by calling attention to the discrepancy and moving on. You need this change so you can be your sunny, vibrant, healthy self again.

While this doesn't say anything about physical movement, to get yourself going, you have to maintain the mantra of the Queen of Cups. Maybe this situation has caused you to pull back and be less vulnerable; you don't want to put yourself out emotionally (not necessarily romantically, but in general), and I would say do so. You will have to feel through the loss of something (5 of Cups), but there is always a silver lining, and you will gain the insight and wisdom of the Emperor -- you will learn how to balance your emotions AND your search for the truth in a healthy way.

The mental block you may/may not realize is a need for security. The desire to be grounded and the fear of letting go of the familiar. The Devil in the likely outcome (not set in stone) to me, means one of two things: your moving on will upset the status quo and will cause some issues both within yourself and others -- you may see a lot of push back and people telling you, "Hey, are you nuts?! Don't do that!" Or it could mean you need to be sure you are moving on and seeking change for the right reasons. Escape is only a temporary change; things always trickle back to us, despite our best efforts. The Queen asks that we keep our hearts open like a channel for every type of water, even the bad.

The good news is... with this relocation comes the 8 of Wands, and with it, the possibility of, well, GOOD NEWS! New opportunities, maybe even a new relationship. This is to say that we can only receive new things if we do what we've never done before. I get the feeling you just need to go. If you are in a rough living situation, take the first step and move out. If you are in a terrible job, put in your two weeks. We make our own change, but it does seem like you are stuck in something you've gotta get out of. As soon as you do, you'll see things turn around.

The first three cards (the heart of the question) was the Hierophant, the Wheel of Fortune (r), and Judgment (r). Seems to me your boyfriend has a strong opinion of how your parents should act towards him and that your parents have a pretty specific idea of who you should be with, and it's not your boyfriend. Neither are accepting of Fate or that they can't control the situation. As a result, your bf feels judged unfairly, and your parents feel like they've been slighted. What's within both their powers, which they aren't seeing, is they have the control and option to accept the other and mend the fence. Judgment reversed asks us to set aside our pride and realize, chances are, it isn't as bad as it feels.

However, hurt feelings are really getting in the way. The 5th position is the 4 of Cups (r); there's a lot of disappointment surrounding this issue for everyone. Coupled with the 7 of Wands in the 6th, everyone is fighting to make sure they're heard, appreciated, and... unfortunately, more right than the other person. You especially feel like you're in a losing battle, because of the 7th position -- the Tower. Add in the 8th position, which is the 3 of Wands (r)... you feel like you want something, and you're being blocked from it. A lot of time this signals the two people who are together can't pursue their future due to delays and obstacles. This shows up in your fears in the 9th: the 6 of Wands. You're scared he's going to leave, or that you'll finally be forced in order to rectify the situation and restore some peace.

In the outcome, we have the Page of Swords (r), which to me means this isn't going to get any better any time soon unless you all have an open, healthy, non-argumentative dialogue about this. You cannot be rash. You cannot throw ultimatums around; it only adds fuel to the fire. There are no choice cards here; you know you want to be with him, but there's a lot of anger and fear I think. Try and see things from every angle with your parents though; they love you deep down, and this is why they are acting how they are. Don't break it off with your boyfriend just because you are afraid to defy your folks. If you love him, love him. You have to follow what's in your heart. The only way this will improve though is if you guys all sit down and talk and air grievances in an adult, rational way.

Theme for the Year: 5 of Cups (r)
What should be focused on: The Devil
What should take a back seat: 9 of Pentacles (r)
What mental/emotional quality should be worked on: Hermit (r)
What mental/emotional quality should be let go of: 10 of Swords
Lesson to be learned: 9 of Cups
Thing to be aware of: 8 of Cups
Overall outcome: 5 of Pentacles, with a clarifying card of Queen of Cups

To me it seems this year is going to be about learning to forgive and figuring out what you really want and need spirituality, beyond the superficial. You're ready to get rid of whatever emotional bonds you've got; you're ready to forgive past wrongs and slights -- this shows up in the 5 of Cups (r). What you should be focusing on is... the Devil. Sounds weird, right? But the Devil is in the details, and you need to start letting go of what's been obsessing you, what's keeping you shackled to the past. On the flipside, you should be letting go of this feeling of not having what you should or not having enough of what you want. The 9 of Pentacles (r) can be about overworking -- she isn't stopping to enjoy her life. She's pushing, pushing, pushing to reach that 10. Give yourself and the Universe some credit. Focus on what you do have.

In the mindscape, this year, I'd say you need to take more time for getting in touch with who you are, not who you want/perceive yourself to be. The Hermit reversed can mean you are either taking too much time to analyze or you aren't taking enough. I think here, you are obsessing about something, and it's time to let it go. This shows up in what... well, should be let go: the 10 of Swords. You've been put down in some way, this much is true, and it's hard to get back up. But here, I feel like you've taken it to the point of exhaustion and back again, trying to figure out what you could do differently/better, but... it isn't possible. It's already over. I personally have found when I throw my hands up in the air and say, "Alright, you win. I lose," I free myself to do and be so much more. The theme is forgiveness, so I'd say you're ready or want to be ready to move on and stand back up with gusto and flair.

It would be good this year to focus on what you have: 9 of Cups. You have a lot to show for; you should be proud of what you've accomplished and ready to relish in it. However, in order to do this, you have to move on from past pains -- the 8 of Cups. Once you've learned this, you will be able to appreciate life in ways that will help your spiritual and emotional growth more than you can even imagine.

The outcome I pulled was the 5 of Pentacles, which didn't make complete sense to me, so I pulled a clarifying card -- the Queen of Cups. This year it's important for you to learn that you're only in the dark and dependent on others as long as you let yourself be. You should focus on opening your heart, being emotionally receptive to both the pain and the happiness that comes with dependency, and accepting that you can't do it all on your own. Then and only then will you become the true Queen, able to rule over your life in a sensitive, wonderful way. Remember every cloud has a lining -- through forgiveness and the realization that our life and happiness is what we make it -- you'll be fine!

that's why i had asked this specific question if they will ever get back together and share those wonderful times again as they have in the past . could you please answer this one specific query for me to show me some direction ?!
"will my parents ever get past their differences with R by visiting us (me and R) in future and spend some time with us?what is the possibility of this ever happening in future?"
they seem to have just passed the phase you have mentioned in your reading . it seems to have picked up the situation that has been dealt with successfully already .so i am curious what next is in store for them and eventually for me ... i don't want to sound greedy but if you could help me finding answer to this specific query i would be highly obliged. if not that;s okay too. i totally understand the time limitations one has in today's life. you are doing readings for just feedback is in itself an act of great kindness. thank you so much for your insight in this matter . blessings to you

will i see my family(parents and boyfriend) together once again in future ? they seem to have just passed the phase you have mentioned in your reading . so i am curious what next is in store for them and eventually for me...

Piggiebank: (ps: I love your name) no problem at all! It's funny how time and tarot conflate. I'm still working that out. I did a 7 card horseshoe spread (which is great for questions), plus I pulled a clarifying card at the end. I asked, "Will it genuinely get better between them, or will it continue to be just a 'for peace's sake' thing?"

In the past: 10 of Cups (r) which signals discord, especially familial, and the disruption of harmony. In the present, Temperance shows up -- right now, things are probably balanced, seemingly, like you said, serene. However, my guess is it feels like more of a balancing act and an exercise in control than earnest. This comes up in the near future, 9 of Pentacles (r). It seems here you have an idea/fear of what it should be, and it isn't going to go that way... however, you aren't doing this because you are controlling or crazy. It's from past experiences; it's like you are bracing for the worst at all times, not appreciating what the moment has in store. The Star shows up in what you should consider, what's going on with you -- you have to learn to trust the Universe and just roll with this phase of peace, even if it is fleeting (which it seems like it might be, in the form of the Knight of Wands.) The Knight says to me problem is that both your parents and your bf are extremely passionate people. There is no shortage of vitality or drive, I'd say, but it may not always be handled in the best way. Once again, I get a very strong "I'm right, you're wrong," argument.

In the obstacles, the Ace of Pentacles shows up. The problem is, they are just going to have to learn to practically accept each other, and what's more, TRUST each other. They've got to keep building each other up -- this "positive feedback" you mention is great. The Ace signals the start of a business-type partnership or business endeavor, but only if the seeds can be planted deep enough to grow and given time to flourish. But this is all on them. It has to be their decision.

The outcome is the 5 of Wands... so once again, there's conflict and a lot of cross-current when it comes to ideas, philosophies, but the good news is... we have the 10 of Wands as the clarifying card, which to me symbolizes, they are going to keep trying. Do I think this will ever be smooth sailing? No. Not even a little bit. But they are going to try the best they can; sometimes round pegs just won't fit in square holes, and the most important thing is the best of the situation is made. I say, take the moments of serenity and joy and "playing nice," when they show up, with open arms and a happy heart. Each time peace disappears, it'll get a little easier to deal with, because you'll realize, that's just their relationship type: up and down. Once you know and accept that, the worst is over. Ideally anyway.

We can either do one that will show you how you can up your chances in love and how to better be in touch with yourself (it's a big spread -- 14 cards.) It's good if you can't figure out why you are still single. Or we can do a general spread to see if there's anything love related on the horizon.
