Hi, Venia! I asked, what's Spring gonna be like?

Situation: 10 of Swords
Compliment/conflicting: 10 of Pentacles
Reason: Wheel of Fortune(r)

Relevant past: King of Pentacles (r)
How you feel about situation: Ace of Wands
Immediate present: Page of Pentacles

How you feel about yourself: 6 of Swords
Environment: 9 of Swords (r)
Advice: Ace of Swords
Outcome: 9 of Wands(clarified by 3 of Cups)

Did you recently have to admit that something you'd worked hard for -- something that provided you with a lot of stability and security -- failed? Or is failing? Or maybe that something you've been working towards isn't panning out. Either way, I get a sense that something in the last two months went sour, and the reason is the Wheel reversed. I feel like there were a lot of hands in the kitchen at one point. Somebody, maybe even yourself, was pulling a lot of strings that would've better been left to the Universe and Fate.

In the past, the King of Pentacles reversed suggests that in the past there were feelings of not being financially stable, or even overly dogmatic and earnest, which led to an over-dedication to work. Married-to-the-job mentality that sort of whitewashed a lot. Still not sure if it was you or someone else, but it's definitely present. A concern of finances that were almost obsessive and totally unhealthy.

How you feel about this situation though is kind of awesome: Ace of Wands. You get to start fresh, and this time, follow your passions. I think that's a phenomenal way to feel and kudos. Page of Pentacles in the present says to me you're brainstorming new ways to keep this business side of you going. You're really putting your nose to the grindstone, but in a healthy way. You're dreaming big. You're keeping your happiness in mind while crafting your next step.

How you feel is that 6 of Swords. You're moving on. In the past few months, I feel like there was a lot of "woe is me" and pain, which is totally normal and encouraged. But now you're done. You're putting that aside and heading towards a new phase in your life, and for that, I also give you massive kudos. So does the environment, which is the 9 of Swords (r). The time for keeping yourself up at night with fear, worry, and doubt it over. You're done. Keep being done. The horizon is so wonderful for you at this moment, you can't even begin to imagine.

The advice is the Ace of Swords. Keep planning, keep dreaming, but also make sure you keep being objective and don't bite off more than you can chew. You're at the crossroads now; the world is your oyster. Don't overdo it, but definitely don't stop dreaming. If you don't, the 9 of Wands as the outcomes says, yes, it's gonna be tough, and yeah, it's gonna "hurt," but it's gonna be worth it. The 3 of Cups reversed as a clarifying card makes me think you're going to let go of some alliances and partnerships you've crafted along the way. Some of them may have been and continue to be toxic. But trust me when I say, you're almost there. Spring is gonna be a bit of a work horse, in the sense that there's a lot to do to get this off the ground, but it's going to be good if you keep your chin up and eyes open.

Hope this helps. Lots of love <3

Question: How is my relationship with J going to progress?

Thank you very much.

Hi Astro-- I framed the question as, "How's the relationship going to progress based on current patterns."

Situation: Fool (r)
Compliment/conflicting: Chariot (r)
Reason: Knight of Wands

Relevant past: 2 of Wands
How you feel about situation: King of Cups
Immediate present: 9 of Wands

How you feel about yourself: 6 of Cups (r)
Environment: 3 of Swords
Advice: King of Swords (r)
Outcome: 4 of Wands(clarified by 7 of Pentacles)

So what I would say first, and I felt it strongly as soon as I got all the cards down, is you have got to STOP trying to control the flow of this relationship. There is a lot of directive energy here; I lot of pushing towards something that just isn't ready to be, and you're running the risk of imploding the whole relationship if you don't take a deep breath and let things develop naturally. The Fool and Chariot reversed tell me that there's a hesitation of just following the primrose path, the great, wonderful unknown, and that it's being added onto by an massive amount of forceful, "I will win" energy from the Chariot reversed. This is breeding a really claustrophobic environment overall; it's really constricting. This is because the Knight of Wands is passionate and dreams big. He wants what he wants now, damn the consequences; he'll deal with them later. The knight is impetuous and tends to rush ahead without thinking, but only because he is so full of life and vitality. He's the visionary, the one who lives in the broad strokes. While there is 100% nothing wrong with that (and I think it represents you), you have got to slow down. You've got to enjoy the ride.

The relevant past is the 2 of Wands, which does not surprise me. You're planning for your future. You want to feel settled and ready to go; I think you and J might be romantically involved because, the King of Cups shows up in how you feel about the situation (also, a few other cards coming down the pike suggest it.) You think you've found your Prince Charming, and you want to to make sure nothing happens to whisk him away. The immediate present, though, is the 9 of Wands... he has either taken you awhile
to find, or rather, you guys have been together for awhile, and you're starting to talk wedding bells. I think it's the first; you've had a rough row with love. A lot of pain and betrayal, and you'll be damned if you let this winner slip between the cracks. Trust me when I say I can understand, but you have to go slow and be careful. Right now, you're pushing him/her away more than anything (more on that in a second.)

How you feel about yourself is the 6 of Cups, which is sort of a retraction of goodwill and feelings. You're starting to feel like because J isn't meeting you on your level, they don't care for you as much. This in turn is frustrating you and hurting you, which gives you a reason to relive past hurts and adopt a sort of "Oh, yeah. Well it's happened before, so of course it will again," attitude that is SO counter productive. The environment right now, and the biggest reason I say SLOW DOWN, is the 3 of Swords. This is such a time for break-ups and heart ache, but it's been created by feelings, not the universe. It's like a cage that's been constructed out of the negativity that's floating around, the need to hold on.

The advice is the King of Swords (r) which says to me stop trying to control things and stop waiting for the ax to drop. Easier said then done, I know, trust me. Love's sort of made me it's sad, soppy ***** in the past, and if the name of the game was rejection issues, I'd be in the running for her Royal Highness. You're looking for truth and validation in the wrong places. You've got to just start letting things take the course. If you do this, I did pull the 4 of Wands -- celebration, and yes, often engagements and weddings. The clarifying card, no surprise, is the 7 of Pents, which is PATIENCE. You've laid the foundation; you've entered into this thing. You've got to let it grow on its own. He's a gardener in the image (I just Rider-Waiter); he only tends to the plants when they grow out of control, never before. That's half the beauty.

Everything you've said makes sense and has been hinted at before by another reading. It is certainly hard letting things take their own course, but your reading is timely and has made me stop in my tracks. Could I please ask you to explain some more by what you mean by "he only tends to the plants when they grow out of control, never before. That's half the beauty." You've also suggested that if I am more positive and patient then the relationship could possibly be long term. Am I correct in assuming that?

Hi, Flower! I framed the question exactly how you posed it. How are things gonna go. Generally as far as I look is 3 months; anything more is waaaaaay too much up to chance, but I feel for you this is more in the 1 to 2 month range.

Situation: 2 of Pentacles
Compliment/conflicting: Ace of Wands
Reason: Tower

Relevant past: 4 of Wands
How you feel about situation: Knight of Swords
Immediate present: Hermit (r)

How you feel about yourself: Empress (r)
Environment: Judgment
Advice: 10 of Cups
Outcome: Devil (clarified by Page of Pentacles)

First, I want to say that I'm sorry you've been having a hard time. Did your spouse suddenly leave you? Or did you separate from a long time partner? I'll get to why I ask in a second, but I would like to commend you on your moving forward. The 2 of Pents and the Ace tell me that you're done crying. You are now trying to get yourself back on track, but you are struggling to figure out what direction you are going on. One seems very practical, something most would expect of you, and the other (given the Ace) seems to be more in line with your passions and parts of you that you've been repressing for awhile. I get the sense that you're a quiet person, sweet and unassuming. You've been playing that role for awhile, and now, given your recent hardships, are thinking maybe you've playing the wrong part. Maybe it's time to let more of Flower come out. All of this, I say, is because of the Tower. Unexpected chaos, pain, and total upheaval... but the bright side is it leads to new beginnings and renewal. The 4 of Wands (which often indicates weddings/engagements/etc.) is in the past... this is where I get the split from, and I get the feeling that it was initiated by the other party. However, how you feel overall about your current state is the Knight of Swords. You're ready to go. You're ready to move on, accept what happened, and drive head first with your new knowledge. This knight has a terribly strong sense of justice; he is the man of the underdog, and I feel he represents you (no matter the situation) getting your confidence back, at least as far as outside appearances go. Have you ever seen the movie the "First Wives Club?" I don't know why, but that popped into my head, and that seems appropriate here with this card :s

The Hermit (r) tells me that you've been living in your mind a little too long, sort of over-thinking certain issues. I think you're starting to realize that though. I definitely feel like you are on the upswing, but you need to fight the urge to slip back into self-deprecation. I say this because the Empress is reversed in 7th, how you view yourself. You don't feel in touch with yourself, the Universe, you're own innate beauty; you feel tired, useless, and dull. I would even take a stab that you feel like the past few months were your fault (although part of you knows it wasn't at all.) The environment though is Judgment, another major arcana. This coupled with the Tower tells me these things were always going to happen, whether you knew in advance or not. They had to, because they're a key part of your spiritual and karmic growth. Judgment means just that. Something greater than ourselves saw the whole picture, and they/them/it set the events in motion.

The advice is the 10 of Cups, which is absolute 100% a go for you to follow your dreams and believe that you can be happy again. Do what you love. Do what makes you feel alive. The only caution is the Devil as the outcome; he says to me that you need to be careful you don't get too carried away as you transition into the, "I want it, so I'm gonna get it" phase that I think is important for your growth. Basically, don't become too self-concerned. Watch out for selfishness and sort of a cold cruelty based on the wrongs that have happened to you. The clarifying card is the Page of Pentacles; I think this is all going to be especially true as you start to head towards a new desire -- one you thought you'd forgotten completely.

All in all, I think things are DEFINITELY starting to turn around for you, and the more you take the reins of your own destiny and desires, your life, the more of an improvement you'll see. Just watch out for going overboard, and trust that you are a wonderful person. Don't let what's happened to your harden your heart (and fight the urge to want to duplicate the experience on someone else -- hurt the one who hurt you sort of thing.)

Oh, good! I always get so nervous that I'm way wrong or totally crazy. The gardener comment means he always keeps an eye on his plants, just like we always needs to keep an eye on our relationships. However, we can't hover. If the gardener constantly prunes and prunes and prunes to get it how he wants it, the higher the risk he runs of damaging the plant. Better to stand back and wait; if something happens, okay, address it then. That's all I meant. And yes, I do think that if you take a deep breath and let things go, in the future, it will become a little more long term. I can't say how long term or when, and honestly, that's half the point of the reading -- not controlling the outcome. Just trusting that what you have is good, and good things will come from it.

Beccathelion you hit it right on. I did separate from my 6 year engagement several month ago, and it shook my world to its core. I learned more about myself in these couple of month than I have in my whole life. It's an uphill battle but like you said I'm not looking for any revenge, just want to heal my hart and give good to the people who most deserve it.
There's so many good people out there, I'm so appreciative and glad to have some of them by my side.

Thank you a bunch for the reading I appreciate the time and energy you gave to this. Well, many things you stated were and are true. I have been seeking work/financial/life (in general) stability for the past few years, and what always happens is the rug gets pulled under my feet. I feel I am nowhere except from the experiences that I have managed to gather all this time and the fact that I am in a really good mood this time! lol Positive thinking keeps me going. I lost a really good job in December - new boss and didn't want to keep the old management. So, I was hoping that in Spring things might get better for me...
We'll see!
Thank you again, becca

Be blessed,
