Hey. Well, in my opinion it doesn't look too well It looks like the person might be with somebody else, and you will find out soon if you already haven't.. (By the looks of the cards that's my impression) IP: Logged |

Sorry to hear that Think the cards are also empathising to ask yourself the question 'why you actually want to get back with this person'. The lovers in current position and the high priestess in the future position also ask you to go within yourself and find the answer to that question. Just as I see the cards of course. As empress already said, I also don't see a (nearby) reconciliation in the cards. Good luck! IP: Logged |

Me?? Or empress? To me it represents the thoughts of 'reconciliation'. A going over the situation (and the contemplating of if this 'could be'). But in the combination with other cards it also refers to 'choice' (it is a choice card as well). So underlying message to me would be to really investigate why you choose the partners you do & what it is you actually want (and need) from a lover. But cards speak differently to every reader. This is my personal take. Readers develop a special connection to them, so it really is what you associate with the cards. Because that's how the communication works in my opinion. EDIT: High Priestess would symbolise more of a platonic relationship to me at this point. Even if you perhaps feel deeply connected to this person.

Hello My interpretation was: nine of wands that there was in past lots of: fighting,arguing, lots of hurt but healing has begun & it still in works the healing.
The lovers - two people together or feelings of love High priestess - no idea I can never ever seem to make sense of it. Its higher thought..there's is something unknown that needs to be known or brought to the surface. So, I thought it maybe represented my lesson, how I changed, how I need to voice what I feel or apologize that I still care - because...he doesn't know. IP: Logged |

Hello! Not sure this way is the best way, but whenever I do a three card spread, I use the two cards bookending the center to sort of paint a picture. A little less emphasis on past/present/future that way, which I prefer in a 3 card. Past-9 of Wands Present- The Lovers Future- The high Priestess To me, I'd say regardless of the question this spread is almost totally about balance between the emotions/passions of a person and their inner guidance/intuition/mind. I read earlier on where you had recently gone through a brutal break-up... but because two of the cards are major arcana, I'd be inclined to say you guys were on this path for awhile. The 9 says it's been a struggle, now more than ever, but the whole point was to teach you (or the partner) about balance in life. The High Priestess is about due diligence and the inner-self -- seems to me emotion was the ruling factor in this relationship. I get the sense that there was an all-or-nothing sort of ultimatum on the relationship at all times. Like, "If you don't call me everyday at least 3 times, I'm leaving you, because you obviously don't love me and are with someone else." This spread really makes me feel oppressed and heavy; I get that mostly from the 9/Lovers combo. Anyway, overall, this was really important for karmic growth (the two majors), and while you are probably still worse for wear and rough around the edges (the 9), you've come out with a greater understand of who you are and what you want (the Lovers). I think this was an extremely important lesson overall. Sorry it had to happen; I've been through a few bloody endings myself, but I have faith in you. Things will turn around.

Yes, BeccaIt was lesson learned and I do feel that we met for a reason. We both went through many changes for the better. I feel like now that we are both on positive path we can talk, without negativety, fighting & start over cause overall we were really extremely compatible. I feel this time it could be even better than it was first time around since we have made those changes within ourselves IP: Logged |

Well, I'm very happy to hear that, but I would advise that both of you be careful. Like Empress and Twist said, it doesn't seem like the stormy seas are completely over. The High Priestess really suggests you are going to have to listen to yourself and let your spiritual, as well as logical, side speak to you. Anyway, best of luck! IP: Logged |

1believer, thanks for sharing how you see the cards. Lovers really isn't about love always. It used to be called The Decision/Choice. On a mundane level: if you want to apologise to him, just do But just don't expect anything else from it if you can... Good luck! IP: Logged |

Understood Each card has many deeper layers though. But the meanings are never that different from the 'top layer' and they all fit the image. In my experience the cards resonate (partly) with what you know. And the keys in reading them is how they are intertwined in a reading, the card positions and the question asked. Then they form a story. This is how it works for me IP: Logged |
