Current situation: 5 of Swords
Complimenting/conflicting factor: 5 of Pentacles
Root cause of situation: Queen of Pentacles

Relevant past: 9 of Cups
How querent feels about situation: World
Immediate present: Strength

How querent feels/wants to feel about self: 10 of Swords
Environment surrounding situation: 4 of Swords
Advice: Wheel of Fortune
Probable future outcome: Ace of Swords (with a clarifying card of 4 of Wands)

Are you and X friends whose relationship is starting to fall under strain? I ask this because the two 5's (swords and pentacles) both denote a serious "being taken advantage of" vibe. Does X perhaps use you emotionally, both to keep their footing on firm ground and to have a place to vent? While this could be you, I don't think it is... the Queen of Pentacles tells me that you are an extremely steady person who really wants to help others, especially those you care for. You are practical and sort of a providential earth mother, and I think this is what's sort of feeding into X's constant take, take, take. If you guys are not friends, or even if you are just loose acquaintances, this is going to be the expected pattern no matter what. You're a giver; X is a taker, and eventually (like I think it is now), you are going to get tired of carrying X.

The past is the 9 of Cups which is a wish card; this tells me you really want X, or at least really did in the past, but perhaps now this is tapering off given how stressful it's becoming. You still feel perhaps that if you and X could just be romantically linked the World (literally) would be at your feet. New doors would open. New opportunities. I get a strong, "I could start my life, the life I was meant for" vibe. That things would hard reset and start anew. However, the present is asking you to have Strength. This is all a test, and given that it is a major card... it's an important one for your growth karmically. You're having to go through this trial for a reason.

You want to feel like the 10 of Swords. Done. To call it quits, but something in you, some small spark of hope keeps dragging you back in. Either that or you are done, and you're not sure how to break the news (however, given the Queen and the World, I think it's more a wish to be over X.) The environment surrounding the situation is the 4 of Swords, which is the card of, "Hey! Take a rest. Take a breather. Pull back, stop thinking, and just enjoy yourself; there's time to fight another day." Also, notice that you have 4 sword cards in this spread (one coming up at the end.) The swords sort of illustrate our mindscape, how we deal with things rationally and pragmatically. This to me says the issue of you and X is not as emotional anymore, but much more in the mind. You think about it a lot, and it's dragging you down.

The advice is the Wheel of Fortune. You gotta trust that the Universe has your back, and just spin the wheel. Things are gonna go how they'll go, and nothing can be done about it. Sometimes good, sometimes negative... if you are thinking about 86'ing X, you just have to do it and see where that road takes you. If you are thinking about talking to X (assuming you don't know each other well, which I don't think is the case) then you just have to throw the dice and take the leap. I will say that I do feel like X isn't a good match for you. This spread has a sort of nagging, weighted feeling to it, and I feel like that's X's presence overall in your life. Someone you care for deeply, but isn't good for you.

If the advice is followed, the Ace of Swords. New realizations, new methods of thinking and analyzing. Because it is an Ace, it will signal a new beginning on some plane (mostly mental.) I think if you do what needs to be done, what you want to do... and let the situation unfold, you'll be able to get out of the mire I feel like you might be stuck in. This will lead to the 4 of Wands, which will be a cause of celebration and the rebirthing of some passions I think that have fallen along the wayside, some of the life you've been maybe forgetting to lead.

Anyway, I hope any of that is right. If not, just let me know, and I'll apologize and see if I can work something better. Lots of love.

Current situation: Queen of Wands
Complimenting/conflicting factor: 2 of Pentacles
Root cause of situation: 6 of Cups

Relevant past: 5 of Wands
How querent feels about situation: Chariot
Immediate present: 4 of Swords

How querent feels/wants to feel about self: the Star
Environment surrounding situation: the Hanged Man
Advice: 6 of Pentacles
Probable future outcome: 10 of Cups (clarifying card: Knight of Cups)

First let me say this spread is a little tricky, because you are asking a question about someone else's intentions, so it's like trying to pick up on their vibes using your energy... so if some stuff seems a little wonky, that's because I feel a little wonky with this

The Queen is either you or J; I feel like it's you: very outgoing, socially fun, a big picture, big dreamer with a big heart sort of thing. She's crossed by the 2 of Pentacles which is a young man juggling two disks in the infinity symbol. I personally think this is J -- is he going through some issues with work or relocation? The feeling I get at that he's at the crossroads of: family or job. Social life or work. The root cause of all this is the 6 of Cups, the card of innocence, nostalgia, and good will. Have you guys been friends a long time? Childhood buddies maybe, or at least since high school? Regardless, there is a lot of love between you too, a lot of positive energy and support. I think your relationship with J has really show them a lot about love and the way the world could be, or rather should be. Does J come from a bad background? Maybe a mother or father with a substance problem? I ask, because...

5 of Wands. This is a busy card in the past position. Lots of energy, lots of competition and trying to be "the best." I kinda feel like J's had to struggle to get ahead in life, and that's sort of forced them to build a little bubble. However, I think they are at the point where they are successful now, and for that, I am proud of them.

How you feel about the situation is the Chariot. You want to ask J out, but you also have a sense of regal-ness that's like, "Oh no, no, no. There's a way this works, and it's you asking me." You're very strong. You get what you want in a way; you're extremely tempered in your outward desires... what I mean is, what you show on the outside with your Queen of Wands persona (are you a fire sign?) is not what you feel underneath. Strong. Pragmatic. Calculating. A leader. Stalwart. Anyway, you have you expectations that you want to put into play, but you are being reserved. Surveying the kingdom from your Chariot, as it were. The immediate present, however, is the 4 of Swords... which tells me nobody's going to make a move anytime soon. Lots of mental drama, at least for J, and they've got to take a break and focus. Center themselves.

How you feel about yourself: you are the Star. You're trusting your inner guidance; you feel something good is here, like you guys are meant to be, but at the same time, you aren't trying to circumvent fate. You're letting things go how they should, and that's extremely important. Can't rush a good thing. The environment says as much as well: the Hanged Man. Nothing's gonna move and nothing's gonna happen for a while. 3 to 6 months out, maybe... but right now, J's got too much going on.

The advice is the 6 of Pentacles. Just be there for J. Keep showing them how to give and receive affection and help. This will continue to strengthen your bond even more.

The future outcome is the 10 of Cups with a clarifying card of Knight of Cups. While I can't say that it's J for sure (I don't want to get anyone's hopes up when I'm just an amateur reader at best)... the card of complete emotional happiness clarified with card of an emotional offer, particularly one of relationships. I'd say that this is probably going to turn out well. Even if it isn't with each other, you guys are both on the path to finding true love. I am very happy for both of you!!

Hope any of that rang true or helped. Lots of love!

Thank-You so much for taking the time out to do reading. I am a dreamer with a big heart, very outgoing, very charming and very social. J is struggling to find work. We are both in separate relationships. At the moment his relationship is going through a rough patch. . I feel like I have known him for a long time but in actuality we only knew each for a little over a year. Now, he has been in a relationship for over 10 years. I know he has had to struggle a lot to get to where he is. Now, my father was an abusive alcoholic. I'm a earth sign, but my ascendant is Scorpio which means Scorpio has a tendency to act like a fire sign when in actuality Scorpio is an air sign. How I feel about situation is right. I don't want to rush things, I prefer to let him come to me. I feel like by not being my normally aggressive self I may loose him, so it's like a battle going on within myself. My head saying no, be aggressive, make things happen and my heart is saying be patient, have faith that he will eventually come to me; even though I feel that I should be doing more. i am strong and I'm a analyzer, so I'm very calculating. I trust my gut completely and I am listening to my inner guidance because I do feel that we are meant to be. So, it seems like there maybe hope after all. Your reading resonated quite a bit actually

Hi Becca, I just wanted to let you know that back in November or late October you gave me a very thorough and accurate reading. I don't know if you remember reading for me or not. Anyways... I just wanted to thank you again.
I am currently beyond depressed and was wondering if there was any chance that you could give me a small reading... I just do not have a specific question formulated yet, there is too much on my mind...

Current situation: Hanged Man
Complimenting/conflicting factor: 4 of Pentacles
Root cause of situation: the Lovers

Relevant past: Knight of Pentacles
How querent feels about situation: 9 of Wands
Immediate present: 5 of Cups

How querent feels/wants to feel about self: Queen of Wands
Environment surrounding situation: the Star
Advice: 5 of Swords
Probable future outcome: 4 of Swords (with clarifying card of 10 of Pentacles)

So! Much like I told dyedye, this spread is a little tricky, because you're asking about somebody else's intentions. They've got to come through you as a filter, so it makes it harder to pinpoint who is who and what's going on exactly.

The Hanged Man crossed with the 4 of Pentacles, which is a card about the desire for security, tells me one or both of you is terrified of the possibility of a relationship. I say relationship, because the Lovers appear as the root cause. However, it's important to note that the Lovers also often represents the need to make a choice that leads to balance in our lives, sometimes a choice that has nothing to do with romance at all. Here, I'm not exactly sure, but the Hanged Man's showing of stagnation and willfully standing still tells me regardless, someone is too scared to overthrow the status quo for fear of losing security and control.

In the past, the Knight of Pentacles suggests someone who was (and perhaps still is) methodical and follows rules. A little boring, but extremely efficient. A bean counter so to speak, who really loves to count them as perfectly as possible. In short, I don't think A (who I'm starting to think is more of the person afraid) is not an adventurous soul. Probably more of a person who likes to experience adventure through reading than through real life. The 9 of Wands suggests you yourself have been waiting for this to change a long time; there's some passion there, since it is a wand, but in the sense that it's become more of a project now than hopes of a relationship. Almost like you just want some resolution. Like you could care less about how A feels, just as long as they stop lingering in the grey area. You at least want that taken care of and done with.

Still, the 5 of Cups says there are hurt feelings. Perhaps A is the only love interest you have right now, and in turn, you're feeling like, “I can't even get A, how the hell am I supposed to get anybody? I am gonna die alone, etc., etc.,” which just isn't true in any regards, and I know you know it too, because of the Queen of Wands in the self position. You're vibrant and fun deep down, and you want to be that way again. Now on the flipside, the 5 could also be A lamenting something they don't have. Given that it is a cup card and tied naturally with emotions... maybe a person? Or again, security, which seems extremely near and dear to them.

The environment surrounding you is the Star, and much like I said to dyedye, you've got to trust yourself and know that the Universe isn't going to let you down. It may not be what you want, but we also are unfortunate (or maybe lucky) that on earth, we can't see the whole picture. Everything happens for a reason, even the crappy stuff, and once you start adopting this mindset, not only will you be able to get back to the Queen of Wands, you'll honestly be able to navigate anything. You'll also find some peace by following the advice of the 5 of Swords. Let A go. Let A win. I get a real sense of “You son of a ***** ! I've been standing here all this time waiting and catering, and THIS is how you react? You won't even pull the God damn trigger??” Like I said earlier, I feel like I almost want A to ask me out just say I can say no and in turn win. But the best way to go here, is to just chalk this up to a loss (a lucky one, I feel like) and just keep going. In turn...

You'll be able to rest (4 of Swords) and get ready for you real role in life, which is the 10 of Pentacles. The 10 is the card of complete security and harmony. Success and comfort. But you can't start down on that path unless you break from this situation with A, realign your priorities, and start being yourself again, or at least start grooming yourself into the person you want to be. In short, I don't think A is ever going to rise to the occasion, but I think that's good for you, because what you've got coming down the pike is awesome. I wish I could get the 10 in a reading for myself :P

Hope any of that means anything or makes any sense. If not, just let me know! These are tricky ones, like I said, and I'm by no means anything but an amateur drinking carrot juice while she pulls cards on her coffee table Lots of love!!

How querent feels about situation: 4 of Cups
Immediate present: Knight of Pentacles

How querent feels/wants to feel about self: Knight of Wands
Environment surrounding situation: Hierophant
Advice: Temperance
Probable future outcome: 3 of Pentacles (with clarifying card of 10 of Swords)

Well, I have no idea who N or I is, but I can tell you right now I get the profound sense that somebody (N, I, or maybe you) is concerned they are settling with something. I think partner, and I'll say why in a minute, but there is definitely the feeling of "this isn't as a good as ____ was, and is it even worth my time really?"

The 2 of Swords is a choice, mostly mental, but none the less the kind that leaves a person fairly torn emotionally. This is crossed with the Magician, who can do anything. He has the entire arsenal of the tarot, as well as all of eternity, at his disposal. This is where I get the push/pull feeling, the do-I-stay-or-do-I-go vibe. Accenting all this is the 5 of Cups: the card of spilled milk. Somebody is definitely unhappy with the fact that they don't have what they used to have (or what they desperately want.)

The Queen of Pentacles is in the past, and my knee-jerk reaction is that this is the Spilled Milk. She was very important to somebody, but I get the feeling that she left, because the person who was pursuing her, either N or I, was a little too dogmatic. He/she wanted more, more, more emotionally, physically, etc., and the Queen just couldn't meet those demands, so she left. I get a real sense of, "Well, screw her. I can move on too."

How the querent feels... the 4 of Cups is an offer, so it seems to me you've viewed whatever's going on between N and I as an offering, maybe of a date? A relationship? Whatever is happening between N and I though seems much more deliberate and "by the books" than passionate. The Knight of Pentacles suggests that it is definitely being filtered pragmatically and rationally (instead of emotionally), whatever the offer was. Maybe N or I has too many red flags.

The Knight of Wands shows up in the self-position. Is N or I related to you? I'm not sure why, but the double knights back to back make me think familial relations, or at least, people who are close enough to consider each other family. I feel like the Knight of Wands is you, very outgoing, very driven. You see something good, and you take it, versus the KoP, who is slow and deliberate. Takes their time, weighs their options. Sisters maybe?

Regardless, the environment is the Hierophant. Tradition, tradition, tradition. There's a strict sense of follow the golden rule here and make sure everything is properly vetted. Don't jump before you look, don't do anything out of order. Be thorough. Be stoic. The advice also follows this theme; Temperance asks for balance of the mind and heart, but also while putting emphasis on being adventurous. Not recklessly, like the Fool can be. Just a dash of excitement, faith, and hope on top of a well-rounded, honest cake (or soul, lols.)

The outcome is the 3 of Pentacles, which is a business card. Shared goals. Teamwork. I think this is going to get friendzoned, but that N and I will still be in each others lives. I say this, because the 10 of Swords as a clarifying card asks one to "let go." It's card of giving up the game, one that's gone stagnant and is no longer healthy, in favor of new horizons and new experiences. Once we admit defeat, we're really free to do anything and start fresh.

This is a weird spread, because I get a lot of resentment, which is making it hard for me to figure out just how much emotion and romance is here. I'm inclined to say very little, but it also isn't feeling like a business transaction, which a lot of the pentacles are suggesting. I honestly have no idea if any of that is going to even remotely ring true, but hey, that's what I got. N and I are definitely... I feel like they are getting together, because it's almost expected that they would, but at the same time, it's universally known that it wouldn't be good for them. They're doing it for tradition's sake.

Anyway, I have no idea. Lol. Hope any of that helps! Lots of love!!

Current situation: High Priestess (reversed)
Complimenting/conflicting factor: Devil
Root cause of situation: Knight of Pentacles

Relevant past: 5 of Swords
How querent feels about situation: Knight of Swords
Immediate present: Wheel of Fortune

How querent feels/wants to feel about self: 10 of Wands
Environment surrounding situation: World
Advice: Sun
Probable future outcome: Temperance (with clarifying card of 9 of Wands [reversed])

Well, once again, as with almost every question on this thread, it's a little trickier, because the questions are dealing with others' intentions or pasts. So the querent (you guys) act as an extra filter. I apologize if things seems a little muddled or not exactly on target. It's just an extra layer of things to wade through.

The short answer: his relationship with her was extremely profound; one that's really changed him. However, she was by no means good for him in the most immediate sense (in the long run, karmic-lesson way, she was a great learning lesson.)

The High Priestess reversed crossed with the Devil says to me that deep down, he knew she was trouble, but he just couldn't help himself. She was too beautiful, too alluring, too whatever... exotic and exciting, and it appealed to him, who I take to be the Knight of Pentacles in this spread. This knight is a little boring, extremely practical. He is methodical and calculating and rarely takes risks without weighing them against his bank account, his family choices, his personal ethics, etc. But this woman got him, and I get the sense she was almost like an addiction for him. Manipulative. That would be a good word for her, I think. Lots of men wrapped around her finger. Very Jezebellian, to create a new adjective.

Since you mentioned that relationship was over, it makes sense that the 5 of Swords appears in the past position. He feels cheated, robbed, and left abandoned. He lost, essentially, and nobody likes to feel that way. However, where once there was deep passion, now I get the sense that he harbors a great deal of anger towards her. He would definitely take the opportunity to tell her off if he could, which unfortunately, I think would spur the cycle again.

Knight of Swords represents you, searching for the truth, but I would definitely be careful when asking about her, if at all. This strikes me as an incredibly sensitive subject for him, one that's wounded him in ways that'll stick around for a long time. I get the impression it'd do more harm than good to ask, and it would be better to let him talk about it at his own pace, at his own time (which I think he will eventually.)

The present now is the Wheel of Fortune; literally, things can go any way and in any direction. He's free of the yoke of the relationship, and now he has a chance to spin the wheel and see where the Universe takes him. Or more pointedly, the Universe is going to do whatever the hell it wants in regards to him, and he just needs to hold on. That said, there are 6 major arcana cards displayed in a 11 card spread. That's more than half. This, without a doubt, says to me he had to go through this to learn some deep karmic lesson, and that he isn't quite done yet. He had to learn what it's like to be dragged through the mud of one-sided desire, in order to capitalize on the upswing (which I'll get to in a second.)

The 10 of Wands in the self position says to me you see yourself as on the break of a long struggle. Is he someone you are pursuing? Or have been? Or have been with, and it's been tough going? This could also represent how you see him, as almost being over a horrific trial. Almost being able to be free and start fresh, just as long as he pushes a little bit further.

The environment is the World, and he literally is about to have a fresh outlook and everything he wants at his feet. However, my big fear is that once he realizes he can have anything, he'll go back to her. The feeling I get with this spread is of heavy, heavy addiction. I keep wanting to looking back to the Devil card, and I'm getting distracted if I don't. The power is in his hands, and he desperately needs to realize that she was not good for him. He has to break free, but the only way he can do it is on his own. It won't matter one bit if other people push him in that direction. Making the choice to walk away himself IS the lesson he has to learn.

I say this, because the advice is the Sun. He has to start feeling better and starting to see the positives he has in his life now that she's gone. He needs to embrace his opportunities and realize that everything happens for a reason. It'll do wonders for him, and in turn, he can finally practice Temperance, the true balance of the self. What he will have gained from her is a dash of excitement and intrigue; I don't think he'll be quite as dull as he was before (no offense intended.) This is a positive he can focus on. He'll also learn how to balance his desires with what's healthy for his growth and himself. The 9 of Wands reversed suggests he can only do this, however, if he follows the advice of the Sun and stops being so defensive and upset. If he stops wearing his battle scars like badges of honor in the most negative of ways. The minute he stops acting like a victim is the minute his life will turn around.

Okay! Sorry to write so much. I hope any of that makes sense or helps. If not, just let me know, and we can try something else! Lots of love!

Well, I have no idea who N or I is, but I can tell you right now I get the profound sense that somebody (N, I, or maybe you) is concerned they are settling with something. I think partner, and I'll say why in a minute, but there is definitely the feeling of "this isn't as a good as ____ was, and is it even worth my time really?"

The 2 of Swords is a choice, mostly mental, but none the less the kind that leaves a person fairly torn emotionally. This is crossed with the Magician, who can do anything. He has the entire arsenal of the tarot, as well as all of eternity, at his disposal. This is where I get the push/pull feeling, the do-I-stay-or-do-I-go vibe. Accenting all this is the 5 of Cups: the card of spilled milk. Somebody is definitely unhappy with the fact that they don't have what they used to have (or what they desperately want.)

The Queen of Pentacles is in the past, and my knee-jerk reaction is that this is the Spilled Milk. She was very important to somebody, but I get the feeling that she left, because the person who was pursuing her, either N or I, was a little too dogmatic. He/she wanted more, more, more emotionally, physically, etc., and the Queen just couldn't meet those demands, so she left. I get a real sense of, "Well, screw her. I can move on too."

How the querent feels... the 4 of Cups is an offer, so it seems to me you've viewed whatever's going on between N and I as an offering, maybe of a date? A relationship? Whatever is happening between N and I though seems much more deliberate and "by the books" than passionate. The Knight of Pentacles suggests that it is definitely being filtered pragmatically and rationally (instead of emotionally), whatever the offer was. Maybe N or I has too many red flags.

The Knight of Wands shows up in the self-position. Is N or I related to you? I'm not sure why, but the double knights back to back make me think familial relations, or at least, people who are close enough to consider each other family. I feel like the Knight of Wands is you, very outgoing, very driven. You see something good, and you take it, versus the KoP, who is slow and deliberate. Takes their time, weighs their options. Sisters maybe?

Regardless, the environment is the Hierophant. Tradition, tradition, tradition. There's a strict sense of follow the golden rule here and make sure everything is properly vetted. Don't jump before you look, don't do anything out of order. Be thorough. Be stoic. The advice also follows this theme; Temperance asks for balance of the mind and heart, but also while putting emphasis on being adventurous. Not recklessly, like the Fool can be. Just a dash of excitement, faith, and hope on top of a well-rounded, honest cake (or soul, lols.)

Hi Becca,

I stopped myself mid-reading because I wanted to go ahead and clarify.. I was asking about myself and my relationship with N. We are not exactly a couple, but have been in constant communication for the past 7 months (up until about 2 weeks ago, when he decided to disappear).. and he was the one pursuing/has been the persistent one. We have expressed feelings towards each other, but have not been living in a close enough proximity to really do anything about it. .although that is about to change. We are also about to pursue the same career path.

I will go ahead and finish what your reading says though! I just wanted to clarify.. not sure if you want to revise anything based on this new info. Sorry for the confusion.

Edit: I will go ahead and wait for your response before posting further!

Sorry, Kay! So many people use initials, and when I saw yours were SH, I just assumed the "I" was a name and not the first person pronoun. My bad. I'll take a look at the spread again a little later today, but chances are, I'll just redo it
