No problem I like helping out. Okay! So, I pulled:

King of Pentacles
Justice
Ace of Wands
with a clarifier: Knight of Wands

Are you trying to change careers? Or is there some kind of shift going on in your life that might threaten you financially? Like passion vs practicality? I ask that because the King of Pentacles is juxtaposed with the Knight of Wands, and as men, they couldn't be more different. One is composed and established, sturdy and reliable. The other is young and fool-hardy, passionate and rushes in without thinking. The two Wands against the pentacle and the major make me think that there's a judgment being rendered here. Justice is literally hold scales, and he's in between the two cards. What's even more crazy is Justice himself is sitting on a throne, much like the King, but he's holding up his sword, much like the Ace of Wands.

Hi Sandra, timing questions a bit tough with tarot, so instead of an actual empirical benchmark (like a month or year), I look for personal growth benchmarks or events. Hope this is okay.

6 of Cups (r)
3 of Cups
4 of Pentacles
(w clarifier the Hierophant)

Alright, so this kind of question is a little trickier for me, because I actually don't have any connection to K. The only connection I have to them comes from you, so you and all your energy, feelings, thoughts, etc. act like a filter. This can make it a muddled reading in that sense, but...

Queen of Swords
King of Pentacles
9 of Swords
(w clarifier 6 of Cups [r])

It seems to me that K might see you as a bit emotionally distant, a little too literal and pragmatic. Like you only see in black and white, and he sees in more richer colors. This isn't to say that he's super emotional. I'm picking up on you guys as the Queen and King, and I'm sensing the King is a little bit on the defensive. The Queen is facing him with her sword raised in judgment, and he won't meet her eye. The 9 (sleeplessness, worry) paired with the reversed 6 makes me think you guys had an argument and now there's some bad blood between you. I feel like the Queen wants to address it though, get it out in the open, and perhaps the King is a little bit more dodgy. There's a lot of nervous energy here too. A lot of I told you so feelings built in. Kinda like, "See, what did I tell you?" and I feel like it's coming from the Queen. So, to answer the question, I think K's feeling frustrated and unhappy and upset, but I don't feel like K's taking full responsibility for it. They feel that you had an hand in all this too.

3 of Cups
4 of Pentacles
(w clarifier the Hierophant)

Did something happen to you in the past? Something that you can't get over? The 6 of Cups is usually about good will and innocence, even nostalgia... but reversed, it has a much more negative connotation. Being stuck, disappointment, pain. This is next to the 3 of Cups, which can sometimes suggest an affair or being cheated on, but I don't feel like that's right. The other meaning for the 3 is merriment and joy. Partying. The good life. I feel here that's what it means, that when you let go and start enjoying yourself, going out, having fun, the things will start to change. Please don't take this the wrong way... but have you ever been in therapy? Or ever sought to talk to someone about your past? The 4 of Pentacles is about security and what makes us feel safe, and this is paired with the Hierophant. He often shows up in the form of institutions and, a lot of times in my readings, as a psychologist or healer. So to me, to answer your question -- you're going to fall in love and be in a relationship when you start to heal and realize the good things in life again. Let go of whatever went awry and just be in the now. Pain and mistakes are blueprints for our tomorrows. I don't know. Maybe this all shades of wrong, but that's what I got from it. Sorry if so. Lots of love!

will my article be accepted for publication? would appreciate clarification on whether I'll need to revise and resubmit.

Of course! It's no problem at all. Alright, so I got:

5 of Wands
10 of Wands
the Fool
(clarifier: 2 of Pentacles)

Well, there's a lot of competition I think. You're one of many people, and there were A LOT of people, I think. The good news for you though, is there's the 10 of Wands. While this isn't a yes, it is a 10, and 10 is the card of completion and finality. It's like heaving a great big weight of your shoulders and being able to say, "Thank God that's over with!" A "I learned a lot, but I never want to do that again" kinda thing. Because both cards are Wands (which is the suit of passion, desire, etc.) and they're against the Fool... I'm not entirely sure if you're gonna get in yet. I don't think the decision has been made at the publication level yet, of who gets taken and who doesn't. Regardless, the Fool is a major card. Majors show up when we have a karmic debt to pay or karmic lesson to learn. Even more, the Fool is the very first card in the tarot. It's about starts, naive and exciting, with no real direction. Just following the heart. This is with the 2 of Pentacles. Pentacles are about work, either professional or what we need to do on ourselves.

If I had to say... no. I don't think you're going to get published, but I don't think that's a bad thing. I think it's gonna spur you onto a new path and a new start that's fundamentally linked to who you are meant to be. Kinda like... I had a roommate in college who was getting her PhD in Biology. She hated it, but her parents wanted her to be a scientist. She, however, wanted to be a journalist. Always had, ever since she was a little kid. I've been thinking of her ever since I pulled these cards. I think you're going to come up against that kind of decision, and I say, choose what you want to do. Choose what you heart tells you to.

Alright, Piggie. Well there's a lot going on in your question, and I hope you don't mind, but I condensed it. I asked, "What is U up to and is he considering Piggiebank's feelings?" The problem with this kind of question though, is that I don't have any connection to U. The only connection I have to them comes from you, so you and all your energy acts like a filter. This can make it a muddled reading in that sense, but...

Empress
2 of Cups
the Tower
(clarifier 4 of Swords)

So, again, I can't be sure, because you act like a filter... but the Empress strikes me as someone other than you. I say this because the 2 of Cups, the woman is dark-haired, and the Empress is blonde. On the 2 of Cups, in this particular instance, it looks like the dark-haired man is taking his cup BACK from the dark haired woman. The 2 of Cups is generally a card of relationships and shared feelings. Love, etc. These two cards are also followed by the Tower, which is about disruption, sudden change, often unexpected or painful... but the important thing to remember is that the Tower ends something so we can start again. To be honest, looking at this spread, I don't think you're going to have to do anything. The 4 of Swords is about rest, the calm both before and after the storm in some readings. I think U is going to take matters into his own hands and end whatever agreement or relationship you have between you two. Again, I can't say for sure, because I don't have the connection, and it might be that this is a fear you have that's being projected. However, I do think he's met another person whom he is deeply transfixed with and wants to be with and is possibly already with. She is a major, so I think she is a karmic lesson for him. The Tower is also a major... and I think this is something both of you are having to go through to get to where you need to be karmically.

I have been hurt badly in the past and for the most part I have let go of that part of my life. I listened to a healer and did a cleanse and I think I am over it.
I do feel like it would be beneficial to talk to a therapist about life and challenges, I just haven't looked for one. I have thought about starting yoga....
Now in the past few months I have been going out and partying ( up until then I was really secluded) and meeting new people and just having fun..so I have made the change. I do feel like I did most of the work already, but im not completely there yet.... thank you
this was very accurate

In a completely unrelated segway, my little brother's nickname (who is def. not little anymore) is lil punkin, and your name made me think of that and giggle so much. I had to call him up and call him that

Alright! I asked should you go on the business trip or decline the offer:

6 of Swords
the Magician
6 of Wands
(clarifier Page of Wands)

So I definitely see your hesitation: the 6 of Swords is about moving on and often shows up in relationship readings where someone needs to leave, but they don't want to yet. I get that kind of anxiety with you. I don't think there's a physical attraction between you two, but I do think he's a bit more boisterous and loud... sort of bullish than perhaps you're used to or comfortable with. I say this because of the Magician. Traditionally, he's a little more soft and kind of dweeby. He has an incredible amount of inner power and resources at his disposal. He's well-connected. I think in this case, this man is gonna turn out to be much more passive and helpful than you're thinking. I'm seeing it as... magicians are illusionists, yeah? What you see isn't necessarily what you get. Anyway, the 6 of Wands is a great card. It's about feeling good, proud, and riding down main street on a white horse hearing people scream your name. It's about personal achievement, and it's with the Page of Wands who, interestingly enough, is the cousin to the Fool. The Fool is all about beginning a journey and taking a trip, just like this Page. The difference? The Fool is naive and can't see the danger from the dream. Everything is new and potentially hazardous. The Page? He's got 10 cards worth of lessons under his belt. So yeah, he's going on a journey, but he's no spring chicken. He knows the warning signs and what to look for, and he survives. So I would say... yes. Go on this trip. I think that things are gonna be fine, and that most of the worst case scenarios that might be running through your head are just that: worst case scenarios. The Page is smart, and I see him as you. Again though, the Magician is multi-faceted and has a lot to him, so I can't say with 100% certainty this man is a stand-up guy who won't make any lewd advances if he gets a drink or two in him, or who won't insist on driving because women suck behind the wheel (sorry, I'm reading you as female, because on the 6, a woman in is in the boat.) He very well may be that guy... but I don't think he's malicious or anything you couldn't handle. The other side of that coin, the Magician is a great listener, like a court adviser from days gone by. A problem-solver. Someone who's tapped into things beyond. Someone who knows things. So, it can go a lot of ways, and I think it's gonna be fine, but I also like to cover my bases

Hi Lucky. So, I don't feel comfortable reading for anything more than two or three months out. Reason being is tarot is more of a Zagat guide to a dining experience. You can read all about the food, but at the end of the day, the only way you can know if it's good is to eat it. Even then, so many factors play into it. Maybe you eat there on a Tuesday night and the cook who was reviewed isn't there. Or maybe... you order Tilapia at the last minute, even though you knew knew KNEW you wanted the chicken. I can read for something, but you still have to live your life, and so many tiny factors and decisions can change so many things. Better to read on a small scale and look for center patterns and similarities. It's more helpful overall, in my opinion.

So! I asked what's coming for luckydude in the next month or so?

4 of Wands (r)
Ace of Cups
6 of Wands
(clarifier Ace of Swords)

Okay. I apologize for being so blunt, but are you going through a divorce? Or a separation that involves someone moving out of your house? The 4 of Wands upright is about marriage, and I have never pulled it once upside when it didn't mean a divorce or a break-up that felt like one. Because it's in the left position, it might have been awhile ago. Less than 6 months, but far enough removed where you're starting to be ****** off at yourself for still feeling depressed or unhappy. This is also shown to me through the Ace of Cups, which is a new emotional start. A new set of emotional circumstances (quite literally at the beginning.) As far as good things happening to you, yes, I think things are gonna turn around. The 6 of Wands is about personal pride and accomplishment. Accolades. Being praised and adored. But, this is all clarified by the Ace of Swords, which is a big indicator that it will only happen when the time is right. It asks us to stop worrying and start to balance our emotions with our mental prowess and thoughts. To me, this says you're getting closer and closer every day to being in a great place, but you have to keep that balance between a fresh emotional start and a fresh mental start. Bolster your own self-worth. Take yourself shopping. Do something to give your ego and heart a boost. Start that... and the sky's the limit. This is actually kind of a cool state, because you're really, really starting over. I mean, that might not sound so great to you, but I rarely see someone who actually can go and grow however they want. You're at that point. You get to focus on you and blossom. Good things are coming. That I can promise. Good things in the next two months, but you HAVE to keep working on you. You have to keep balancing and fixing and healing and growing.

What kind of opportunities should I look out for in my life coaching endeavor? Should electronic media (stuff over the Internet) be involved? Anything would be very helpful..

Hahaha, well thank you very much. I appreciate the compliment, and I sure try to make sure everything gets to told clear and true. I'll definitely read for you; I just packed up my cards though, and in all honesty, need to have some tea and cookie to kind of stave off what is a frighteningly early on-set of the sleepies (it's not even 9:30pm yet, and I'm already yawning like an old lady!) But I will pull a few cards for you

Oh thank you for the reading Becca!

I am single and have never been married. I turn 29 on the 17th of this month, and I've been looking around for a career and I am in school now. There have been a couple of people on this site that said that I would be confronted by an unexpected positive opportunity, or unexpected positive windfalls in my future.

It's nice to know that good things will happen soon, but it also looks like I still have some more personal work to do. I guess I just have to stop worrying, and just think positive!

Thank you again for the reading dear. You've been great.

Haha, thank you Rebecca That's sweet! You must be being a very good daughter lately to now miss the scolding

Aw I understand, same time and I am yawning too .. Maybe it's the heat! And tea and cookie! That's also my favorite pastime <3

Thanks for the reading. I have to admit that I'm disappointed with the "no" answer and I really do hope that you're wrong hahaha.
I don't mean that the reading is incorrect, but I hope for a different outcome. there is a lot of competition as this is a highly reputed journal but I worked really hard on this and wouldn't like to have to shop elsewhere. Thanks again
