And i do sense him holding back (barely) and trying to be slow (for his dear Saggi self) lol wow. I just cannot believe.....

He does have a good heart loving Leo moons... i just cant make any good feedback because im just plain shocked. Thank you so very much!!! Like, really!!! Goodness gracious... i want to see him now!! Aww i think im in love with him... and im prattling, sorry!! Oh thank you *hugs* (mind is still blown)

Balance of 5's: Seems like there is some bitterness currently present that affects your life. Something you're not able to let go of? It's time to let bygones be bygones. By focusing only on the negative, you deny yourself the pleasure of welcoming the positive into your life.

Is there positive? Hell yes lol(sorry, seemed appropriate to say lol)! The Ace of Wands is beckoning new growth. Six of Wands says it's going to be a happy and uplifting time for you. I don't see anyone present in the cards. Going to pull a few more.

- 10 of Cups
- 8 of Cups
- 6 of Swords

Well, in terms of Balance, let's look at the Balances here:

5 of Cups + 5 of Swords = 10 of Cups
By coming to terms with the negative issues that have clouded your past, you will definitely have a happier home life for it and bring contentment into your household.

6 of Wands = 6 of Swords
Perhaps traveling is in order? You get to go somewhere and enjoy yourself? Vacation?

It seems right now in your life where romance is concerned, you're in a period of rest. The great joy in life right now is to focus on the self and realign yourself with joy of the true heart.

Hope that helps .

Ace of wands-new beginnings, definately, I am moving jobs after 5 years, out of the city int the countryside and hopefully moving closer to the new job.

I shall try harder to forgive and letting go to have contentment and allow real love in my life!

Travelling is on order, I am off to Barcelona in 5 days! Is that what your cards were referring to?

I have a period of rest? (really want love in my life right now) but oh well, I'll focus on loving myself some more!

1. 10 of Wands, rev
2. 2 of Wands
3. Moon, rev
4. Queen of Cups

*cards that popped out of the deck.

Hmm, Idk, but I want to ask does your brother suffer from some kind of anxiety condition or something that makes it hard for him to function in a public setting? The cards seem to say that there's a lot that's not being told/being withheld about the brother that would make this reading a bit easier to understand. I will pull more cards.

- 10 of Pentacles, rev
- Star
- Knight of Wands, rev

Some balances:
10 of Wands rev/ 10 of Pentacles rev + Chariot = Star
Your brother has a lot of issues/problems that's going on, but a strong support system and a can-do attitude will be the deciding factor that will make or break him when it comes to being more reliant, as well as finding a job.

High Priestess/ 2 of Wands = Queen of Cups + Knight of Wands rev
I believe the Queen to be you and the rev Knight of Wands to be your brother. He needs your guidance to help lead him through this period. How you go about that? Not sure. It's a learning experience for you as well, but trust your intuition and your instincts as to what to do with him.

Moon rev = Star + Queen of Cups/ Knight of Wands rev
This can be a period of great opportunity or great waste. The sooner you two work on whatever it is the problems are and help lead him to getting him back on his feet(theft, robbery, lying seem to be sticking out at me >__< ). So, I feel like it's saying that it's important for you to work with him, be his personal cheerleader, coach, or ass-kicker and motivate him to get these things for himself. The main thing is that he lacks a lot of guidance and seems like he runs around all over the place, burning his energy up into unworthy endeavors. Going to pull one more card.

- Fool

Yeah, he seems kind of carefree. For some reason, this reminds me of my brother. There are things that matter in this life. Maybe it's about bringing those into focus for him and helping him understand that those things can be fully his without any trouble if he works for them.

Hope that helps @__@;;;.[/B][/QUOTE]

***

Yes, it does. Your reading definitely resonated with me. Thank you.

My brother is my twin. And, his life has been at a standstill for years. He is presently living with my parents and assisting them which is a wonderful service and a blessing.

But, it is as if he doesn't have any ambition to set his own life in motion. He has started things and not followed through. He can't financially take care of himself. He seems to have lost the desire to even get a job. I really have been at a loss on how to assist him. He seems quite content to allow life to pass him by.

You have given me many things to think about on how to approach him. This reading was very revealing to me. Again, thank you.

Clarifying Card: 8 of Cups

Hmmm, balance of 10's. Is there some kind of family relation that has caused you some grief? It seems like soon, you'll be able to let go of that bond by understanding that it's not your fault and that situation or the power and influence of it no longer has any hold over you any longer.

Going to pull more cards...

- 7 of Cups
- King of Pentacles

You are master over your own destiny. It seems that now would be a good time to work on your creativity to create something that will benefit your work. Maybe even the situation you had to deal with that the cards are referring to open up previously blocked conduits of inspiration.

1. 5 of Pentacles
2. Queen of Wands
3. 2 of Cups
4. 10 of Wands

Are you currently involved with someone? I kind of see the cards as saying either you will re-cement a bond with someone or devote yourself to someone soon. Gonna pull more cards...

- Ace of Pentacles
- Queen of Swords
- 10 of Cups

Balance of Queens: Don't let the past completely take over how your future will look. I take it to mean that it's warning you that you may carry sorrow from past relationships that still very much translates into your current romantic life. That time is over and you can move on now.

Balance of 10's: You may wonder if it's even worth the hassle. By allowing yourself to trust in another person and trying to connect to that person, you will definitely find more happiness with that person.

This seems a prosperous time in general for you. Through allowing yourself to trust in that other person, you will find that the rewards for letting go of that past pain are immense. Love is a powerful force. Please allow it to work wonders in your life! You will not be disappointed.

I'm glad that reading worked for you. I was sweating bullets for that one lol. First time I ever read something like that in the cards.

Please keep me updated on the situation . And maybe we can read again later to see about confirmation of that or to see if the path has evolved into something else.

- 8 of Swords*

1. Knight of Swords
2. 7 of Cups
3. Queen of Pentacles
4. King of Swords

*card popped out of deck while shuffling.

Clarifying Cards: 10 of Wands, 9 of Pentacles

Well, pain is present- being bound in circumstances that are out of your control("my hands are tied"). It seems there is a man in your life who wavers between being a boy and being a man. Maybe you wonder if anything you do with this person is in vain? and that at this point, everything you imagined with him won't pan out.

- 7 of Pentacles
- 10 of Swords

His head is in the clouds. If anything, I wouldn't take him too seriously or lean on him too much because he's not particularly reliable and will let you down, as seen through the Balance of 10's(your efforts will only meet in failure) and the Balance of 7's(he's too carefree/lackadaisical for what you want).

Thank you for your offer.

I have been assaulted somes weeks ago (everything is ok physically but I take some time off because I have been really chocked). I would like to know what kind of impact will this event have on my love life and my professionnal life ?

If I can ask a second question : What do you see Frédéric, my ex ?

I'm ok with withever method you choose.

Thanks again.

---

Before I read the cards, I would like to say that be kind to yourself, show love and understanding to yourself. For a long time, I let that attack define who I was. What I wish someone had told me then was that I was still me. I will always be me. Be strong .

1)I would like to know what kind of impact will this event have on my love life and my professionnal life ?

1. 9 of Wands
2. 9 of Swords
3. 4 of Wands
4. Knight of Pentacles

You will, and probably already are, experience great emotional and mental duress over this. You will be very guarded and not want to be around a lot of people. Possibly be at home a lot too. I see a young man who is with you and is patient throughout all the changes, really wanting to help you while you go through this. Pulled some more cards..

- 4 of Swords
- 6 of Wands
- 10 of Cups

Balance of 4's: It's important for you to take a break for a while and be able to rest and recharge.

4 of Wands/4 of Swords + 6 of Wands = 10 of Cups
In order for you to be victorious over these mental and emotional wounds, it definitely is important for you to rest at home, surrounded by your loved ones. Their love and support will help you recover .

2) What do you see Frédéric, my ex ?

1. Queen of Pentacles
2. 7 of Cups
3. 2 of Cups
4. 4 of Cups

Clarifying Card: 3 of Cups

It looks like for whatever reason you broke up with him, it was because you felt he was not good in your life at that time.

7 of Cups = 4 of Cups + 3 of Cups
You were very happy with him and could see a future with him, but there were some things that really bothered you about what he did. I wonder if now you're thinking on the "what ifs" because of the 7 of Cups. I feel kind of mixed on this because it really depends on what those 3 of cups were, but there is the fairy blessing of the remaining cup from the 4 of Cups picture and the addition of 2 of Cups, which is another 3 of Cups.

If you're wondering about trying again with him, you should talk to him. There are definitely a lot of strong feelings between you two. It seems like you're a grounded person in general who may be afraid of losing self in love. It will be okay. Take it as slow as you would like. I think he will understand.

Hope those help .[/B][/QUOTE]

Thank you for your kind words. Sorry for the late feedback but it's the most personal question I asked on the forum or because your own experience resonate in me.
I'm a bit in the same phase as you were. I didn't go out for a week and after that slowly I return out but always with someone. So I'm still in recovery.

And you are so right, we forget so easily that we are still ourself. I feel like I lost myself with those events or part of my self. I know intellectually it's not true but emotionnally it's different.
I'm happy that you finally overcome it

1) for the first question, you are spot on. I don't want to be around a lot of people, I need a lot of rest even if I never sleep so badly in my life.
I don't see who is this young man. I think that some part of me would have like that it will be my ex Frédéric. But for the moment, there is no communication between us at all.

My familly, particullaly, my mother is there for me and I can compt on my friends to cher me up or even come doing some friend sitting when need it.

2) For the second question, he is the one who broke up in first some months ago but he came back with the intention to repare what he broke down and so we could be friends because I was important to him.
We began again to speak and to be solidary in adversity (aka gossips against him).
But when I have been agressed and i called him, he said he didn't have time for me. I said ok so don't call back. And some days later, he defriends me from twitter.
It was a big blow because I needed my love one very much at this time. And in my eyes, he was one of them.
So you are right when you said that we were hvery happy together and I saw so much good things between us and so much potential for him. But there was an enormous obsticle, he was married and I refuse to be his mistress (which he understood and never push me to have a physical relationship). It was only sentimental.

So for the talk, I don't know because when I call himm, he refuse or find an excuse to not speak to me. And I truly believe that real friend or love one can't be like that. Or maybe he just decided to turn a page on me.
