This is because people start picking and choosing info, don't listen to the whole message, or can become totally obsessed and dependent on the cards... which in turn color their judgment. i only ever suggest using them as a forum for advice. very rarely predictive.

If i am biased walking in, I swear to God it shows up in my cards.

I am going through a very difficult and painful emotional love experience. I'm super in love with this man who I happen to be associated with professionally. I met a new guy but I don't want to be with him even though he "seems" like a good option and nice way out of my situation. Its very painful

In the past position, the Fool. My guess is when all this started you felt like a little kid again; you threw caution to the wind and gave in to whatever you desired with little thoughts about what could happen in the future, which isn't a bad thing. If anything, it makes us bolder, more courageous as long as we learn from our mistakes. It's a major card too, which makes me think it would have happened regardless. In the 5th, how you feel about all this, the 3 of Cups (oh hallelujah, there you are!) Lots of times these three ladies signify joy and partying, a great birthing of camaraderie, but in love readings, they often ring true of "three's a crowd." You've got a choice to make, that much is undoubtedly true. In the present position, the Tower. It's all going to be shaken up, for better or for worse. Things can't stay the same, and this radical new state will be for the better (as most things following total unrest are -- once again, that whole lesson soapbox.) It's also a major... so once again, this is going to happen regardless (which is sort of interesting in a layout perspective.)

How you feel: the Devil -- you feel like you're being a little bit devious, a little naughty. Lots of sexuality swirling with this card I think. In the environment position, the 8th, the 7 of Pentacles -- the card of hang back and watch things unfold. It's a slow card. It begs contemplation and understanding. This is probably why you also are having trouble making a decision; everyone seems in stasis; there aren't clear cut flags pointing you in the right direction. You're hedging your bets, so to speak (and once again, notice how it's the Pentacles -- work related.)

In the advice... Seven of Wands. This to me says buck up and bear it. You've got to fight this fear and this overwhelming sense of "How can I do this?!" The advice and the environment are both sevens. Both are about taking action in regards to events already set in motion. The wands are already flying at the man; the pentacles have already started growing. Pentacles ask us to be slow and steady and wait (business ventures take time) but the wands are about passion and creativity -- doing what we feel we must and going headlong. You're at a crucial state, I think. You've got to stave off the negative thoughts you take into yourself and the worry of what others will think and dress it down to brass tacks, the bare bones of the situation, and analyze it that way.

The outcome, if these things are followed, is Temperance. What a beautiful major to have in the 10th. Not only will you learn more about yourself and feel more at peace, you will find a balance that keeps you comforted and makes you stronger.

These cards say to me... it's really, really up to you. This is a decision you have to make on your own, because it's crucial to your development. I would suggest a pro and con list to start... I find they help me.

In the first position I have the Two of Wands, so clearly you are planning for the future and thinking ahead, however in the 2nd position (what complicates/compliments the 1st) is the Two of Swords reversed. This is all about decisions, especially in regards to matters of the heart, and the reversal tells me you are putting off making one as much as you can. So it's like you're being cut in two. The Wands are about realizing passion and drive and dreams and growing them -- choosing where to go. The reversed Swords say you can't, because it's painful; you just don't want to. In the 3rd (the reason why/root issue) 8 of Pentacles. You'd mentioned the "he" is work related, so to me this card is two-fold. You have been working towards something, diligently putting time and effort into. But I would like to point out, so far, the profound lack of cups (which signifies emotions.) The 8 here almost feels like routine, like "I've come this far, I might as well..."

OK I think you read my mind with this layout. I really would like to point out the accuracy of your reading skills because I already had several of those cards repeat recently in the past couple of days! It definitely means something. So I basically have to decide whether or not I should confess my feelings for him? (I feel like he may know already though, does anything indicate him knowing that I love him?)
We had a mini-fight today but we managed to resolve it within 2 hours which was odd and exciting at the same time. At the same time, I really want to know if he can overstep the professional boundary for us to be together.
I asked the tarot a question using just one card and I thought it was rather interesting:

Question 1 was: What was the purpose of us meeting in the first place? And I got four of wands reversed, I looked it up and here is what I got from a website: "Love: The reversed 4 of Wands can indicate that a relationship is likely to become much more committed in the near future, up to and including marriage."

Also, that King reversed makes me pause too... not enough focus on the self and healthy emotional habits. Lots of mental prowess used wrongly
I would be careful regardless. Make sure your job is safe above all.

If that sounds selfish, well... I think that's when the Tower and other things are going to come into play. You'll just be setting events in motion Anyway, I wish you the absolute best of luck. Especially speaking as someone who has been single for two years, with only one fling to show for it -- I AM ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

And thank you so much for the compliment. It means a lot. Sometimes I start to think I suck at tarot, so the feedback is really great. Helps keep me positive (damn that Leo ASC and Leo Sun... always concerned I'm not doing well enough!!!)

The thing is after a while that flow of energy might subside and then it`s a good thing to stop doing Tarot for a while.
Oh and when I am pulling ONLY swords card after having done several readings it is a clear sign to me that I am mentally exhausted and need to put the cards away for a bit.

Oh and yes, of course it should be different questions, or at least not the very same question over and over again until you got the answer you liked. Which also goes for several online readings on the same questions. The first one may be valid, but I doubt the 5th one in a row will be.
