I did a Celtic spread asking about me and my boyfriend. I am very new to tarot. Can anyone give me their experienced opinion? First card/present position. Current atmosphere influencing the questioner
Temperance Second card/Immediate influence. Shows the influences and obstacles which lie just ahead
Death Third card/ goal or destiny. Shows the ultimate goal or destiny of the questioner as well as current ideals. It indicates what can be accomplished based upon existing circumstances.
Lovers Fourth card/Distant past. Shows events and influences which existed in the distant past that are the foundation of the present events. These influences are embodied within the questioner.
The Devil Fifth card/Recent past events. Indicates that which recently came into being.
the magician Sixth card/future influence. Represents what is coming into being in the near future
Six of pentacles Seventh card/the questioner. Denotes the questioner in the present position or attitude. This card places the questioner in proper prospective
the emperor Eighth card/environmental factors. Shows how the questioners influences other people as well as how other people and factors may affect him or her
Strength Ninth card/inner emotions. Shows hopes, emotions, desires and the fears of the questioner. This card may reveal secrets and ulterior motives from which the questioner keeps from others
Six of cups Tenth card/final results. Indicates the likely culmination and result, provided events and influences continue as indicated

Second card - death. Not sure if reversed or not
Third card - lovers reversed
Fourth card - the devil
Fifth card - the magician reversed
Sixth card - six of pents reversed
Seventh card - the emperor
Eighth card - strength reversed
Ninth card - six of cups
Tenth card - the world
Lovers reversed is a little alarming and so was the death card. As well as temperance reversed
Does the world trump this?

Peach, I'm with Empress M. If you are new to Tarot do NOT use reversal. I am new too and I don't use them. I don't even think I will use them.IP: Logged |

I agree too. When I 1st started out with tarot, I tried using reversed cards and all they did was confuse me lol but its ur call not mine.1st card is present situation and u have temperance rx....r u having problems in ur relationship? Temperance in upright stands for moderation, patience, balance of opposing forces. So its saying ur present situation is the opposite of that. Something isn't balanced. Can also point to sexual excesses sometimes. Jus' sayin  IP: Logged |

The death card isn't something to b scared of. It just points to a major transformation of some kind. Idk which celtic cross spread ur doing, as they can vary. What's the position for card 2 stand for in ur spread? In fact, y don't u list all the positions. I'm not really sure what some of them stand for in ur reading so its hard to give advice. But with some of the cards, it looks like ur having problems at the moment in ur relationship. IP: Logged |

Hmm...been sitting here pondering ur reading. So this is a new relationship for u...card 2 showing immediate influences/obstacles that lie ahead...death card equals a major transformation. But it can take on several forms. I'm sure when u pulled it u thought it meant the end lol well not necessarily. Its more like the dawning of a new era. The end of one cycle and the start of another. It could mean death of the old self. U just need to wait and c how it will play out for u and him. Don't b alarmed, just keep ur eyes open for some major change ahead.IP: Logged |

4th card showing distant past - the devilI hafta ask here cuz I don't know u personally so I don't wanna assume here....this card can signify unconscious fears. The ones that ya keep buried and hidden from others but u still know they r there even if u try to ignore them. Were u afraid to start dating him? Or date in general? It can point to self imposed limitations. On ocassion it can point to sex addiction/obsessions lol but u don't need to say. I'm already under the assumption this has to do with hidden fears or hangups or some sort. IP: Logged |

6th card. Future influence. 6 of pents. Ok this card has to do with being generous. Usually its a finance card but this isn't a money reading. So u adjust it to a love reading instead. Can mean being overgenerous as well. Not saying that's a bad thing  Altho I know u said u pulled it reversed so I want to give a small warning here. The 6 of pents reversed can suggest a loss of money or property due to carelessness, dishonesty, or lack of prudence. But it can also warn u about a lack of character and generousity of spirit. So just to b on the safe side, b careful if u ur going to loan him money. Prob best in small amts. I'm not saying he's going to rip u off. I don't even know him lol I'm just saying b careful is all.

Hey I'll try to list some insights for each position and you tell me if I'm going down the right path and depending on what you tell me, I'll add more, etc.. First card/present position. Current atmosphere influencing the questioner
Temperance = Chemistry, you both have chemistry and trying to get along. Mixing well..you're probably wondering if this certain 'chemistry' between you both will last .. Second card/Immediate influence. Shows the influences and obstacles which lie just ahead
Death - Someone is or will be resisting changes that they need to make or move on from in order for the relationship to grow. one of you two is or will be having a hard time letting go of past baggage. Or just the past in general..an ex instantly comes to mind Third card/ goal or destiny. Shows the ultimate goal or destiny of the questioner as well as current ideals. It indicates what can be accomplished based upon existing circumstances.
Lovers = Mutual attraction and agreement. A choice needs or will need to be made. I would be a bit wary of this card because with the death card it and this one it may show someone having a hard time of letting go of an ex. But I still need to look at the rest of the cards to see what this truly means, so take this with a grain of salt and don't worry too much. Fourth card/Distant past. Shows events and influences which existed in the distant past that are the foundation of the present events. These influences are embodied within the questioner.
The Devil = Were you in a co-dependent relationship in the past? A relationship that wasn't too positive..you felt trapped or chained to this person? It wasn't the healthiest of relationships in a sense..even if you felt like it was a bit..obsession and lust (*OR IT COULD BE LIKE SHYVIRGO SAID, YOU FELT FEAR - POSSIBLY AFRAID OF STARTING A NEW RELATIONSHIP*)
Fifth card/Recent past events. Indicates that which recently came into being.
the magician = Taking the first step to start a relationship. Initiation..making your dreams a reality.. Sixth card/future influence. Represents what is coming into being in the near future
Six of pentacles = Mutual agreement, stability, cooperation..balance between you two..good card Seventh card/the questioner. Denotes the questioner in the present position or attitude. This card places the questioner in proper prospective
the emperor = This is supposed to be you or how you feel right now. You're serious about wanting to build a strong relationship and wanting things to last for a long time. You want to build a strong relationship Eighth card/environmental factors. Shows how the questioners influences other people as well as how other people and factors may affect him or her
Strength = He sees you as a strong woman who likes to be in control in a sense . He finds you sexy you could say lol. Ninth card/inner emotions. Shows hopes, emotions, desires and the fears of the questioner. This card may reveal secrets and ulterior motives from which the questioner keeps from others
Six of cups = Nostalgia. Stuck in the past. Are you thinking about past relationships or an ex?? Tenth card/final results. Indicates the likely culmination and result, provided events and influences continue as indicated the world = I think you guys will be OK. The World speaks of completion or achieving a goal. I think you guys will be ok. I'm tying this card with the 6 of Pentacles so it looks positive, stable and promising, although not much romance....yet... IP: Logged |

7th card representing the questioner (u) and/or ur attitudes. Here we have the emperor. The emperor likes power and control over things, using rational thought and direct action to achieve his/her goals. Does this at all sound like u?Sorry I'm jumping here. I'm a little scatterbrained 2day lol 3rd card the lovers - indicates a choice of some kind. Could b a choice between 2 ppl, a choice ovr career vs relationship. Not real clear but there will b a choice coming. U may even question whether or not u wanna continue dating him. All this card stands for is choice. Doesn't exactly say WHAT choice. 8th card - strength. I'm taking this to mean u have lots of inner strength and this helps in ur dealings with others. 9th card hopes/fears....and u pull the 6 of cups. Interesting. This is the card of nostalgia. Basically it means something from ur past bears fruit in the present. Again, it could b several things here. Old friends, ex lovers, happy times from the past, even childhood memories. And here its in the hopes position. What is u r missing from ur past right now? Or perhaps fear since its hopes AND fears.
10th card - final results. We c the world. Something will reach its natural conclusion. Not saying u 2 will split bc this isn't specific enuf for that. But its more like the end of one phase and start of another. Its meant to b a positive card tho. Like reaching a goal finally. Sometimes it can indicate travel as well. But its the completion of a cycle. Fulfillment. Just hafta c how it plays out lol Hope this helps. IP: Logged |

I just am letting go of a past thing. Like as recently as last week. I was attached to that guy for years. I think that could be the death card. The death card could also be me wanting him to smoke less. Or him probably going to want me to go out more seeing as I have been struggling with social anxiety for the past few months. He was in a very unhealthy relationship up until this past November. They lived together. She cheated etc. that could also be some of the indicators of this ex theme we have going on. I was in an unhealthy relationship before too. Things progressed very quickly with us. I think in a way we are still in the very beginning stages of just talking. But are still exclusive. We re technically dating but I think it will take some time for us to really grow into it and it to feel real. I still haven't slept with him yet though. I'm slow. I'm usually very slow to even get into these situations but a part of me just wants the exclusivity so I can get to know him without having to worry about being single and other guys hitting on me IP: Logged |

Shyvirgo - could the nostalgia be related at all to a lot of astrological indicators of a karmic encounter and/or possible knowing eachother in a past life? IP: Logged |

Hmm that's a hard question. I've never used tarot as a way of seeing into past lives. I honestly don't know if I could. If u want my personal opinion id hafta say no. Only bc the question that u asked was based on THIS life that ur living now. U didn't ask about past lives. So whatever the 6 of cups is referring to is in THIS life. IP: Logged |

Oh yes it definitely did! Haha so much actually I didnt even really have to think twice about any explanations.
It's such a new situation but based on what I know now - it seems accurate to me. Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond. It was very helpful and will help me with my learning of tarot in general. IP: Logged |

Can also point to sexual excesses sometimes. Jus' sayin
We talk excessively so far but no sex yet. That could be the excessive though - constantly on the phone all day or texting for the most part

Yw. My pleasure. I love tarot. I'm still learning lol and I've been doing it for a long time. I never took the time to learn each of the cards. So some of them I get stuck on from time to time. But hey that's y I come here.If all ur doing is talking and communicating, and holding off on sex (which is GREAT btw) then perhaps temperance as upright suits the present situation better than the reversed. It means moderation and balance, patience. That resonates with what u have said. And yw too empress! IP: Logged |
