My question is what's my best approach to this phase of my relationship with M?

Yes I'm female and M is my partner (a male.) No we've not broken up; we live together (M has recently moved in) and we've had a lot of things to deal with (health issues, exes, finances,) that seem to have taken a little wind out of our sails so to speak. He seems a bit down in general (his health hasn't been so good recently amongst other things) and I'm wondering how best to help/ride out this current patch of slight negativity. So from your reading (which is actually pretty accurate funnily enough in terms of the energies/attitudes at play) I'm feeling a little pushed around and dominated by him - I know he doesn't mean to be but trust me, he is! I don't think he realises he does this. I'm obviously seeing myself as responsible for the whole relationship (when I'm clearly not!) and taking on all the angst about its progress etc. I'm also seeing M as having been irresponsible or not taking responsiblity for his own decisions perhaps? I think it also shows that I'm worried our feelings are a bit lopsided (i.e. I worry I feel more than him) and that all the potential shown at the start is wearing away.

The Fool standing between us is maybe my optimism at thinking there's something I can do to protect/assist the relationship and his blindness to the dangers of letting things slip?? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this if you don't mind.

Interesting though that he seems to be starting to feel better about us if the Moon rx is anything to go by? A feeling of weight being lifted? Although I'm not sure how to feel about the Judgement rx as his feelings about me... kind of like a new life in doubt? He always says I've given him what he's always wanted. Maybe he's doubting that now? Confusing!

Wheel of Fortune is a very apt card to close on. It's all up to us. I'll try and work out the best way of approaching him about all this and fingers crossed we get through it!

I did a spread called the Clothesline spread - it's pretty general so I hope it helps

1: This card represents your state of mind - 8 of Pents. Are you training or studying something at the moment? Feels like you're working hard and it'll definitely pay off.

2: This card represents difficulties - The Empress. Are you feeling blocked creatively at the moment perhaps?

3: This card deals with career and communication - Ace of Cups Looks like some kind of partnership is about to blossom or your working life will bring you a great deal of emotional satisfaction and comfort.

4: This card represents romance and emotional relationships - Knight of Swords Not sure whether you're in a relationship however if you're not, you will be soon and with a very intelligent yet possibly emotionally shy young man! Once he decides he'll move fast so be prepared!

5: This card deals with home and family matters - 5 Pents Has there been an argument or a loss of some kind? It feels like you're a little 'out in the cold' in some way. As you know this card nearly always promises help is at hand so I feel sure whatever it is will get resolved.

6: This card represents your unconscious foundation - Page Rods I don't know why but I think this in some way relates to the last card and it's indicating that you are the one with the solution to the problem. Do you doubt yourself sometimes? I think this card is advising you to have a lot more faith in your own spiritual wisdom and to listen to your own advice a great deal more perhaps? I think your unconscious foundation might be that you're a truly free spirit.

7: This card reveals your future or possible outcome - King of Pents This makes me think that there's a father figure of sorts who'll feature in your life quite heavily in the not too distant future and I think it's in some kind of a 'teacher' role. He's going to help you develop and build a solid career plus a real abundance in every area of your life.
