Rosalind, Thank you for doing this. Believe it or not, it actually has helped settle and soothe my soul. I admit that when I first read it, I thought it was ominous, a death knell for this relationship. And I once again felt the fear of losing another person I cared about (abandonment issues, hahaha).
But then I began to wonder if there was an underlying message that I was missing - something not quite so ominous. So, upon researching each card and reading them in context to the questions, I realized that this was not really a death knell, but a message of hope.
No one wants to see cards like the Devil and the Ten of Swords appear, esp. when asking about an important relationship (of any kind). But these aren't always bad.
The backstory is too long & drawn out to write about here, but this reading actually echos much of what I was already feeling with regard to this situation, this person, and myself.
***Oh crap, I just accidentally deleted an entire paragraph...where was I....***
Ok, so, wow - it pretty acurately describes our current situation. And what I've truly felt for a long time now - that we are working on ourselves separately & dumping our baggage so that we can come back together with a clean slate.
It's when (under the premise of being "realistic") my head tries to go against my soul and what I feel deep down, that's when I start to get into trouble and the anxiety & fear begins. When I try to tell myself things to explain away the good thoughts & feelings, like this person couldn't possibly care about me, everything was a lie, he's too good for me, the naysayers & jealous people are right, etc. THOSE THINGS AREN'T TRUE. It's just my fears bubbling up & taking over. Deep down, I know that we have a special relationship, but it can be intense sometimes, so like I said - working separately to dump our respective baggage & allowing ourselves to become the people we want to be & the Universe wants us to be... when we are done with that, then we will find our way back to each other. Our charts, these cards...I believe they only confirm what we already know.
The cards you pulled tell our story - in order for our relationship to move to the next phase, things needed to change. We need to continue to allow ourselves to accept these changes and stop fighting against them. The Universe has a bright future in store for us, we just have to face our fears and just let it happen. We need to develop into the people we know we are & want to be, only then will we reconnect.
BTW, before your reading, I asked the question "Will we reconnect in the future?" and I drew the Star.
