1. Death
2. Hermit
3. Ace of Swords rev
4. Temperance

I wonder if there was some big change that happened to cause you to doubt in your own intuition and inner guidance? Maybe you were involved in a situation where force was used in an ungainly manner that did not turn out well. I pulled Five of Cups.

I think instead of brooding on the situation and focusing on the negative aspects of it, work on a compromise that would benefit both parties involved. Seems that using your inner wisdom(hermit) and management/ organization skills(temperance) will definitely help. Don't be afraid to just go with the nature of flow instead of trying to force self to react to all that is happening around you. The saying goes "roll with the punches"; I see you doing more than just rolling with change, but utilizing that natural flow of events to your advantage if you allow yourself to relax enough to recognize opportunites as they present themselves.

Pulled one more card to wrap it up: Nine of Cups rev.

There are going to be mistakes made, but don't let that keep you from reaching your goal. Keep your head up :3.

Hardly any. You did a great job catching the overall energy and impetus of what's been going on, and about the relaxing and not stressing bit. The original event did involve two people, me and someone, but they're long gone now, for the best. I do need to just breathe and go with the flow. Too concerned with making mistakes. Thanks for this! You were extremely helpful

1) Present: The Hierophant You are feeling inspired and supported by your belief system. Despite any troubles which may have recently came your way, your strong foundation of support group keeps you going in face of opposition.

If you have been feeling negativity, this will soon pass and you will begin to feel balance and like yourself again. If negative people or situations have come into your life, your strong character and integerity will soon ward these off.

2) Where you want to be: The High Priestess While you thrive on upholding your worldview in the prevous card, you are also seeking out the deeper meanings in life, and increased self understanding. Situations may have been chaotic and rushed recently, and you are wishing to retreat for a bit and restore your energy, gathering your thoughts and searching for increased understanding.

The answer which you seek will soon come to you, the card asks for reflection and patience in the face of struggle.

3)Outcome/Path: The Magician Free yourself from self limitation, and own your inner strength and power. You will come to understand what your are truly searching for and will align your thoughts/will to manifest the goals which you seek.

Conclusion, lots of personal power and time of big changes, as seen all three cards being Major Arcana. The cards flow well together, the energy and good will of the universe is truly with you in this time.

My question is also a general reading, anything which I should know =) Thank you and hope this helped =)

Hi Phoenix! Thanks so much. I seem to always get the Hierophant and the HP in my readings these past few months. I can't help but think maybe I should actually start listening to their messages

I decided to do a cross for you! I like that the best for generals. I asked, "Is there anything Phoenix should know?"

In the first and second positions, I have the 7 of Swords and the Queen of Swords respectively. This represents the way a certain situation is unfolding (I know you know all this, I just have a system I run with sorry!!) In the third, which is the heart of the situation -- the King of Pentacles reversed. I find court cards are always people, and going out on a limb, I think there's a person in your life who just isn't working out to your liking. The 7 says you're starting to smell that something is rotten in Denmark, and the Queen signals you are trying hard to be rational about it. Where the 7 is about deceit and trickery, the Queen is all about the truth. I say it's due to a man (or partner, but I'm going with a man for sake of typing) because of the reversed King. I don't get the sense that he's a bad person per se... but he holds back a lot. He focuses his energies, especially his feelings, in all the wrong places. He's a little selfish in that regard. He takes versus gives. He withholds. Maybe this worked for you before, but now... not so much. You want more, but he's not meeting you at the plate sotospeak.

In the 4th, the receding influence, the Sun shows up. You felt so good about this before; it felt like the Universe had handed you a golden goose -- this led the 5th position, how you feel and felt about him. 3 of Wands. You were planning for the future with him, and you are still planning now... but something's keeping you from moving forward. In the present: the Knight of Wands reversed. The impulsive, passionate, creative zeal, zest, and joy you once felt about things--this, work, life--it's stagnating. You want to move, you want to feel the flow of life and happiness, but it isn't happening. This is really frustrating, I think. Especially since in the 7th (how you see yourself) we have the Lovers. I don't doubt one damn bit that you want the dream of real love, but you also require and want balance. I think this is the fundamental issue at hand, and I hate to say it, but I don't think he's going to meet you halfway. It's unfortunate, but not all bad. I say this, because...

The 8th -- the outside environment -- is the Ace of Swords. You're swirling in a sea of beginnings in regards to what you look towards for truth and justice. This environment is so favorable for you to grow as a better judge of character and a better cheerleader for yourself. You are in no better position to find the truth and make decisions then you are now at this point in your life, and it'll only get better.

Interestingly enough, in the 9th (hopes/fears and advice) the 8 of Wands reversed. Stagnation again. Slow growth. Slow movement. I feel like this is saying take your time. Don't be rash and impulsive. Explore what it is you want, and if it's with this person, really consider why. Analyze the situation (be the swords!) and hold off making any major decisions until you've held up the cube from every angle. And don't get frustrated with the turtle speed of your life right now. The Universe is imposing a time-out on you for a reason. I see this as a real growth stage, because in the 10th, we have the Page of Cups with a clarifying card of the 3 of Cups. I feel like you'll move from the head to the heart, really learn to open up more (not with this person, but in the future) and be more receptive and loving -- more adventurous and ready to start dreaming again. You're going to make some friends in the future -- or reconnect -- be more in the party mood. A great weight will be lifted, and you will be the visionary again that you've lost somewhere along the way.
