Hey all. I would love to exchange 3 readings for 3 questions answered. Please, I would love to exchange with someone that actually interprets the cards they draw, and not just draw them because I really need the advice. Thanks all in advance.

M's feelings for you:

Tower
Star
Magician

Three majors, so very powerful. I assume you two have history together but something happened to end things? I think both of you are somewhat caught in the past still. Given the cards above he is still powerfully affected, and by the fact that you're asking after him I guess you are! Whatever happened I think devastated you both. He has hope for some sort of reconciliation and he seems quite confident about it, as though he thinks he has the power to talk you round. I don't honestly get the vibe of a romantic relationship now, more leaving the past behind and starting to rebuild things from scratch. A more solid base than perhaps there was in the past, taking things slowly and enjoying the journey rather than rushing towards some kind of outcome and giving your relationship a particular label. I pulled a clarifier for The Magician and got Judgement, which seems a fitting confirmation of leaving the past behind and having a fresh start. But with The Star, he hopes that this will involve you in some way.

The bottom card was 7 of Cups. Umming and aahing to me (if you're familiar with the phrase), wishing that things were different, deliberating what to do but not taking the action to go with it. Running through scenarios in your head but without the clarity or conviction to take a step. Confused emotions. Perhaps there are practical considerations? Family to consider? I think this card relates to both of you rather than either one of you in isolation.

In conclusion, I think if you were to 'pick M' you would have a lot of hard work to do. Not saying it can't be done, but it will be an uphill struggle and best done slowly slowly. Lots of inner strength required. There is a lack of earth above, so I think this would be where to start. Not overly exciting, but probably what is needed.

I hope you don't mind but I had a go at your second question. As you know I'm a beginner, so I'd like this to be in addition to a proper answer to your question from someone else, so I don't expect anything in return. I just took a fancy to answering this question and then the cards I pulled were interesting so I thought I'd write them down.

If this is completely off-key I'm very sorry and please disregard it. If not, I hope it helps!

How R feels about you:

Magician (again)
3 Pents
Strength

Ok despite the above (mainly 3 pents slap-bang in the middle), I feel as though he did (does) have strong feelings for you. He thought things were going well, but something has happened and now he's brushed them under the carpet. "I didn't need you anyway, I'm fine on my own" he tells himself to hide the fact that really he was, at least a bit, bothered. The sort of scenario where someone thinks they're 'in with a chance' with someone and their sweetheart inadvertently does something to crush their hopes without realising it, or gently rebukes them without knowing how personally the other person will take it. Last time I felt the Magician oozed confidence, LOADS of confidence, but this time he feels a bit insecure. I don't know if that's the right way of putting it, perhaps a bit extreme, but he doesn't seem to have the same self-belief as M. M felt as though he embodied the characteristics of the Magician. R probably hides his self-doubt/ agonising well though. He has the passion (Strength is Lust as I'm using Thoth) for you undoubtedly, but it doesn't seem so 'accessible' at the moment. He's detached himself from the situation and is determinedly focusing himself on something else (maybe literally work) to take his mind off it and he's quite happy doing this.

Bottom card is the 10 of cups. Despite the mixed message above he does care for you, deep down he wants you to be happy.

I can't explain why, and it's not really in the cards so I might be completely wrong, but what I think is that he had strong feelings for you and thought things were going somewhere, but for some reason he doubts that now, thinks he was wrong. I think what I'm picking up on with the cards are his feelings about the situation, not his deep feelings for you. I think he has you on a pedestal, but don't ask me why I say that.

I think if you wanted to you could have a really passionate relationship with him. But I don't know if it would be what you really want. I would trust your instinct with him, whatever it might tell you.

I think that the emotional connection between you and M is far greater, even if it does seem more sexual! I think you would be much more emotionally affected by a relationship with M, but I think it would be bittersweet. Not that it might go wrong, but that it wouldn't be all chocolates and roses. What relationship is. M seems like much more of a 'presence'. I think if you got involved with R, it would probably be good whilst it lasted but I can't help thinking that it wouldn't be fulfilling in the long run and you would (at least be tempted to) go back to M.

I feel as though I've just made up a badly-written story and I'm aware I've said 'I think' about a hundred times, but when I'm writing this sort of thing I can't think about how I'm writing, if you know what I mean.

Make of it what you will!

Well I would love a reading. I struggle with how to phrase a question, because I want to ask about my M which as I mentioned is a work in progress based on a glimmer of hope at the end of a fifty-mile long tunnel knee-deep in mud, but I don't relish being told that! So, I think I'll go for... what is the best way to proceed with my relationship with M. Sounds a bit formal, but it will do. Hit me with the truth, I can take it!

R is very attracted to you, but I feel like he has some sort of control over you. A hold. I also see that he finds you beautiful, the whole package reall,but his own stuff is keeping him back from you.

Again, I get strength. Take a step back and allow events to manifest at their own pace. If they do not flow naturally, don't push. Also, take a step back and re-evaluate what you want out of your love life. Keep it balanced, and don't give more than you get...Do not settle. You will have options in the future...choose wisely. You are worth it. (Lovers/knight of cups/seven of pents)

As an aside, I saw on your other spread the love spread you had said to watch out for The Magician reversed... interesting to have pulled him twice today! I'm not using reversals at the moment because the cards I'm using have a logo on the back that means that I can tell which way up they are (I pick by fanning them out so I don't want to be biased), but I'd say that the Magician in R's spread was ill-dignified. I can't help but vote for M though! Not that he would necessarily be the best answer, but I think he is unfinished business! Although maybe better to stay that way, who knows.

I keep getting the SAME cards that I used to get with J#2. Wow, that is really weird. I played "games" with both of them due to fear of commitment, but I don't fear the commitment itself..I fear the feelings I feel for them. It's so weird. I asked what is the Karmic lesson that I need to learn from both of them and got..

Knight of Cups
Knight of Pentacles (ill dignified)
Justice (ill dignified)
8 of Wands
Magician

So, definitely I believe this is telling me that I need to learn to express my feelings more clearly, and to be clear in my intention/communication. "Say what you mean, mean what you say". I believe it all goes down to clear/honest communication. At first, he was the one pursuing me and I was playing around with him, but this is because at the time I didn't really feel much for him..this is definitely Karma for sure. I have no doubt in my mind. I just wish I could learn this darn lesson and move on! I don't want to repeat this same thing again 10 years from now (when it once happened) -sigh..both had someone else they are talking to in their lives, and an ex they can't seem to get over. So many similarities..

If you use your intuition to decide which path offers the most potential, instead of using your energy fighting it or running through 'what might happen', you can channel it into trying to make the best of whatever option you choose. Choose something that's likely to be balanced in give-and-take. If there is a situation that you know in your heart isn't workable, ditch it, don't waste energy on it.

I get the impression that you have loads of emotional drive, but it goes nowhere and remains pent up because you're afraid of what will happen when you let it go. Sometimes you just need to let your emotions go (release them into the open) and trust that loosing control of a situation isn't always a bad thing. With great risks come great rewards, but if you don't take them you'll never know.

Don't be a slave to your emotions by keeping them bottled up. Maybe you're afraid that in real life things will be disappointing (you will disappoint him or he will disappoint you or the relationship itself won't live up to your expectations or his expectations) and so you hold yourself back rather than taking the next step. You invest yourself in the early stages and then sabotage the results, because the more you invest, the more you have to loose. This would be magnified if you have really strong feelings, as by definition you have a lot more to loose.

I wouldn't beat yourself up about what lessons you should be learning, or feel frustrated when you don't feel as though you're making progress. You will be doing, but often it's only when you look back when things are rosy that you realise how far you've come. I think lesson-learning comes in it's own time. The start is knowing what you need to do, but the learning process itself can't be forced and there's no easy way of doing it. It reminds me of the four stages of competence - this being stage two/ three - you know what you need to do, but doing it is a force of will.
